@ratty_out No need to hedge your bets now, we’re off to Wemberley!!

@GavinBullick @Mr_Andrew_Fox @simonmontefiore @JamesMelville You forgot the “if there was an Irish Republican constitution that stated their primary objective was death to all Protestant Christians” bit.

[Edward Daunt @EdDaunt]

@_MAGA_NEWS_ I don’t agree that no one saw this coming. Allowing IRGC & Hezbollah terrorists operate in/from Lebanon surely was more about fear than value alignment. Now the Lebanese government feel able to stand up to them. Well done.

VOTE JEREMY MOULTON for #MILLBROOK on MAY 7TH

Councillor Jeremy Moulton and Southampton Conservatives would build a splash park at Mansel Park so local children have a free, fun place to play in the summer.

@StevenGalton Absolutely brilliant game matey.

@afneil To paraphrase WC, a bare faced lie can travel half way round the world before the teller has laced up their boots.

Some corrections:
You inherited 2% inflation. It doubled in 12 months after you became Chancellor. It is still 50% above the rate you inherited and 50% above target. It should fall to target 2% this summer. So two years to get back to where you started! What’s to boast about that?
Interest rates have been falling everywhere. UK cuts, which you don’t control, have been fewer and smaller because of your inflation record. We still have highest interest rate in G7. The Bank has made some cuts for the simple reason the economy is flat on its back. Well done.
Borrowing is slowly falling from a very high base. Almost six years after the pandemic-induced recession, we’re still borrowing around 4% GDP. And borrowing costs are the highest in the G7.
Retail sales are up in recent months. We’ll see how long that���s sustained. But the hospitality and construction industries are in crisis. Plus our massive services sector is stagnant.
UK fastest G7 economy? That’s simply a bare-faced lie. We grew by 0.1% in Q3 2025; and another 0.1% in Q4. End of.

@spencerreiss @Mr_Andrew_Fox Interesting re-write of history.

[Edward Daunt @EdDaunt]

@JohnFarren15 @Mr_Andrew_Fox Effectively, 5 minutes after Israel was formed, several Arab nations (Transjordan, Lebanon Egypt, Syria and Iraq), invaded expecting a quick and easy win. They were wrong. I wonder how the region would now look if they’d opted for peaceful co-existence?

@spencerreiss @Mr_Andrew_Fox Pray tell all which world war the UK “birthed”.

[Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox]

Americans really do not understand us *at all*.

At this point there's more that conceptually, politically and culturally divides us than we have in common.

Starmer & his lefty lawyer mates want to hand over the Chagos Isles & pay £35b for the priviledge. What cld that money pay for? 3500 new primary schools, 100000 council houses, 40 hospitals. Don't tell me this government cares about public services. What are Labour MPs thinking!?

[Edward Daunt @EdDaunt]

@StevenGalton What a result!!

[David Fuller @D_J_Fuller]

I understand there are financial pressures but this saves next to nothing (in Govt terms) but will have a huge impact on so many. Cadet Forces offer a fantastic opportunity for young people and we should be encouraging more to join, not cutting the funding.

'Can we please agree that you have indirectly ended up taxing working people?... Please don't insult the audience.'

@CamillaTominey grills James Murray MP on his party's decision to increase taxes in the budget, despite promises not to do so.

[Edward Daunt @EdDaunt]

Evening all. For @ChiIdreninNeed my 6 year old son, Henry, will transform into a punk rocker, complete with Mohican to raise money for @HampshireAutism If you’re inclined to donate thanks in advance! Photographic evidence on the day - 15th November.

Give them some credit please. They make looking bad so easy.

It takes some effort to be this bad

@CathyMo41926708 @JanisBlackburne @bphillipsonMP Actually losing private education will worsen society (I only went to state schools). The VAT raid on private education is also lazy, selfish and somewhat vindictive. “We need more money so let’s take it from families who worked really hard to give their kids the best education.”

[Edward Daunt @EdDaunt]

You make an assumption that she knows what that means.

[ジエレミー Jeremy Moulton #GetSouthamptonMoving @JMoultonSoton]

@afneil Does this mean she is encouraging a run on the pound?
