WELL DONE MILLIBAND JUST WONDERFUL!
Over a thousand wind turbines across Britain contain banned ASBESTOS in brake parts supplied by Chinese manufacturers .
The chrysotile asbestos banned in Britain since 1999 was found in lift and hoist brakes . A major and very expensive ( paid by the taxpayer ) clean up operation is now underway with costs expected to be substantial .
Not forgetting if any of those brake pads broke and the asbestos got into the ground the fibres don't break down they would stay in the soil for a longtime making the land contaminated meaning it couldn't be disturbed with digging or grown on . Dangerous stuff if airborne
The GMB union is demanding full details from the government .
Whatever will be will be. No escaping the enormity of tomorrow, but this is years and years of mismanagement at the very top of our beautiful club finally rearing its ugly head. Failure to at least draw against Everton won't be the reason we're in the mess we are. All we can do is back the manager and team as best we can. Deep breaths. COYS.
Incredible how many lefties (living in multiple properties) can't seem to grasp the basic concept of a primary residence.
Yet they aspire to run the country and whack up taxes for... everyone else.
Their hypocrisy as well as incompetence beggars belief.

@Ed_Miliband So why wouldn't it also be "completely wrong" for your criminal mafia government to be raking in an extra £20/25 million a day off of us during this fuel crisis??
@LeeAndersonMP_ 100%. If everyone keeps saying that the state pension is a benefit, how comes they will have to pay tax on it next year, but anyone else on benefits doesn't?
A shower screen shattered all over my wife this week.
Over the next 72 hours, the NHS got almost everything wrong.
A cautionary tale of a system that is broken (with the usual caveat that everyone working in it is doing their best) 👇
I called an ambulance.
All good at first: “It’s on its way.”
Ten minutes later: “Actually, there are no ambulances for hours - can you get her to hospital?”
So I loaded my bleeding wife into the car, along with the kids and the dog, and drove to A&E.
Ten hours later, she came home - having given up after not even being offered a plaster.
The next morning, we called our GP: “Any chance she could see a nurse?”
“No - as the ambulance referred her to hospital, we can’t see her.”
So I went to the pharmacy and bought a first aid kit.
Because apparently that’s where we are now - me and a pack of plasters, in one of the richest countries in the world.
This morning, still in pain, still untreated, and with a ballooning foot, we went to an urgent treatment centre.
At first, smooth. She was seen in under two hours. X-ray done.
“Nasty cut, but nothing broken.”
Relief.
Two hours later, the phone rang.
It was the hospital.
“Sorry - we got that completely wrong. Your foot is broken and the wound needs antibiotics.”
If it wasn’t so serious, it would be laughable.
And the truth is - anyone who uses the system has a story like this.
We need to stop clinging to an idealised version of the NHS and have a grown-up conversation about how to fix it.
Free healthcare for all should remain a principle - but pretending the current model works isn’t helping anyone.
Almost every other developed country combines public healthcare with some level of private provision - and all deliver better outcomes as a result.
Yet in the UK, even suggesting that tends to get shut down before the conversation starts.
That’s not protecting the NHS. It’s protecting a cult.
We don’t need ideology. We need honesty about what works.
We need a brilliant NHS in practice for all of us - not one we’re told to revere while it quietly crumbles, and where anyone who speaks up is dismissed or discredited.
When are we going to get serious about the things that actually matter - and have the difficult national conversations needed to fix them?
We don’t need to abandon the NHS.
We need to be honest about fixing it.
We shouldn’t just shrug our shoulders.
We have to be better.
We need to vote for real change.
If children get free breakfast and lunch - why do we need to remove the 2 child cap
Surely if they have just got a £6000 benefits boost, they can afford to make their kids a packed lunch
🚨 Bayern’s Uli Hoeneß: “I'd say Harry Kane is worth €150m. But then you see Alexander Isak cost €150m to Liverpool...
…if Isak is worth 150 million, then Harry is worth 250 million euros”, told Kicker.
Almost everything this PM says now requires a community note.
The electricity price cap is not coming down because the government has managed to produce electricity more cheaply. It’s still the most expensive in the world — and forecast to become even more expensive.
The cap is reduced because the government has taken £117-worth of largely green subsidies from fuel your bills and put them on to general taxation. You’re still paying for them — just in a different way.
And as your taxes go up to meet these green levies the cap is still £73 higher than when Labour came to power. So your energy bills are not coming down — though Labour promised they would — and the overall tax burden is at a record high.
There PM. Sorted it for you.
