Cutting VAT on hospitality is the stupidest tax cut of all https://t.co/eybkJnd6xl says @DanNeidle it would fail to meet any of its objectives except to make big business more profitable and would not undo the tax rises pubs and restaurants are suffering from

[Richard Corbett @RichardGCorbett]

So, it turns out that the violent protestors, who Farage & Reform would have us believe were regular members of the public showing justifiable rage, had numerous previous criminal convictions

Yaxley Lennon, Farage, Lowe and others, hang your heads in shame.

An immigrant nurse talking about fleeing her home after saved her uniform so she could still work.

Do you feel proud?

36-year-old Darren Medhurst, who was filmed by Young Bob setting a bin on fire and rolling it towards police officers, has been jailed for three years and three months.

Darren has 51 previous convictions for 96 offences, including burglary and shoplifting.

The hospitality industry wants their VAT cut to 10%. It will cost £12bn

Who benefits?

❌ The smallest most vulnerable businesses? Nope. 45% get nothing.
❌ Consumers? Nope - prices won't fall.
✅ Nearly half the cash goes straight to large chains. McDonald's gets £400m.

British Gas is cutting the amount it pays customers who have solar panels when they sell surplus electricity back. It did pay 15.1p/unit but is being cut to 12p - a 20% cut - from 6 July. And just 8p for bigger arrays. Has this affected you? DM or reply please. Thanks.

@CaptainSwing666 @brownandbella Makes sense: they've got to stay hydrated to maintain the body beautiful.

Unfortunately, we’ve had to close the paddling pools at Heavitree Pleasure Ground due to a defect that has been identified.
This decision has not been taken lightly, but we have no option other than to close the facility while we investigate the issue further.

In April, the Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office gave Capita until 30 June to return the Civil Service Pension Scheme to normal contractual levels.
As of today Capita has just 18 days to go and we'll be keeping the pressure on every day during the countdown.

There are only 8 Reform MPs and they have a combined wealth of over £70,000,000.

They have consistently voted against every single improvement to workers rights and plan to scrap legal protections left right and centre.

They are funded by the bosses to rip up your rights.

@I_amMukhtar "we need a fookin medic in here" like they're on the frontline in Iraq.

@PippaCrerar Otherwise usually called by journalists a U-TURN

[🇬🇧King 🇬🇧 @King0243_PJC]

This hasn’t gone viral the way it should.

Jamie Corry, an Irish lad from east Belfast, has lost his home of 13 years after masked rioters set fire to cars outside and it engulfed his house in last night’s violent chaos.

He stood right there and begged one of them:

“This is my house. This is my house.”

They didn’t care.

They burned it anyway.

“They’ve done it to one of their own.”

These racist, uneducated thugs and street urchins destroy everything in their path. They don’t care who gets hurt: locals, families, their own community. Just mindless arsonists ruining innocent lives with no excuse.

[steve richards @steverichards14]

John Healey a rare figure of integrity, loyalty and without ego. But there is limited means to raise much money quickly on any public service given mistaken pre-election tax pledges, low growth and costly borrowing. Other services also need investment at least as much as defence

[PCS Union (pcs.org.uk) @pcs_union]

Email your MP about the planned closure of 6 offices in the Department for Education.
The closures could lead to compulsory redundancies for staff or forced relocations.
Members in DfE are currently being balloted for strike action over these plans.
Ask your MP to intervene!

@likesretirement @JasonGroves1 If Starmer turned up he would probably boost the Reform vote, which is one reason for him to go.
