@APEXFEED01 @TheMoneyApe Article 5 of the NATO treaty has only been triggered once…October 2021 when NATO troops played a major part in invasion of Iraq. Denmark suffered highest losses per head of capita. Trump started Iran invasion as a proxy for Netanyahu, the NATO treaty does not apply.

@carltonkirby We’ve enjoyed countless summer tours of France and Italy together but the time has come to say goodbye. Discovery + is very shortly to be swallowed into an expensive super channel. A great shame, you won’t notice, but I’ll miss you, Thanks for the fun, take care

@BBCSport is Nigel Owen supposed to be offering referee insights & comments or a running commentary on the game?

#2024budget Apparently NI is to be cut by 2%. Does nothing for pensioners. I recall that NI was increased not that long ago to help fund social care. Obviously the government does not like older people.

@currys Made in store purchase, including delivery & installation. Wait in all day yesterday - no sign of delivery. Call this morning…sorry, order cancelled! Don’t know how, no refund made, no contact..”you’ll have to go into store to sort it out”. Customer Service?

#ILEZ don’t understand the fear…it impacts few vehicles. Why is there talk of ceasing to support a policy that reduces pollution? Show courage

[Graham Powell @cabbagegrower]

@youmesushi I tried…you opened in Telford, not yet offering delivery so I made the trip into town only to be told by the sales prevention officer “we don’t do takeaway”. Your website promotes you as takeaway restaurant chain, what’s going on?

#energybills Over the past week my 100% renewable electricity cost me a factor of three more that my gas cost. On my travels I witnessed diesel fuel range from £1.74 down to £1.34 a litre. Still too many profiteering.

[Graham Powell @cabbagegrower]

@Beaverbrooks do you have a customer service number I can call?

[Graham Powell @cabbagegrower]

#netmigration. We no longer have freedom of movement - what impact has that had on the net migration numbers?

[Graham Powell @cabbagegrower]

#fuelcosts Last week I was in Cornwall and paid £1.62 a litre for diesel…today in north Herefordshire I paid £1.32. Diesel was cheaper than petrol & I was £15 better off. Why aren’t our MPs all over this?

@thatginamiller @SuellaBraverman With due respect this is rubbish…Priti Patel was responsible for the Rwanda program. It was in place before Braverman became the HS.

@stiptop1 We all want a functioning NHS but it is patently not fit for purpose today, primarily due to aged and poor infrastructure. Do we keep repairing the car or is it time for a new one? Additional revenue funding will not fix it.

[Graham Powell @cabbagegrower]

@stiptop1 It’s an interesting debate…do we continue to throw money at the NHS (more funding) or do we need fundamental changes supported by investment (a more efficient service designed to meet needs in 2030)?

[Graham Powell @cabbagegrower]

#Election2024 The left of the Labour Party & the right of The Conservative Party will determine the outcome. Currently they are both in self destruction mode…quite remarkable.

[Graham Powell @cabbagegrower]

@SameenaAhmad7 @crhealy72 Wrong - you do receive a polling card

[Telford First Responders @TelfordCFR]

Today we'll be at The Ironbridge with our friends from @IronbridgeLions doing Silver Over The Bridge.
Please bring some change to help us try to get the line of coins over the bridge.
We will also be teaching CPR and AED use.
Please come and meet us and help us raise some funds.

[Graham Powell @cabbagegrower]

@StigAbell Read yours last week…thoroughly enjoyed it. Romance, mystery meets the reality of life in a small isolated community.

[Ironbridge Lions @IronbridgeLions]

The second Silver Over the Bridge event of 2023 will take place on Sunday 30th April in aid of Telford First Responders. Pop along to the iron bridge between 10am and 4pm and help us to raise much needed funds for this great cause.

[Graham Powell @cabbagegrower]

@RobertJenrick Let’s not forget the added costs…you have introduced Police & Crime Commissioners and Adult Social Care precepts. Council tax is a very flawed system and needs total revision.
