Coeliac since 2009, currently navigating the Low FODMAP rabbit hole and figuring out what my gut is actually trying to tell me.

Playing with @base44 Its not too bad. Not sure about the commercial viability of it. Have you used the app yourself? Did you create something that is being used? Share your link, lets take a look :)

I can’t quite believe what I have seen from our Prime Minister.

The U.K. is in a dark place, a very dark place.

Petition: Digital ID cards https://t.co/yoCqrmkF2C

Even though close to 3 Million people signed against this, they are insistent that this will be MANDATORY to use Gov services. In other words, you really will not have a choice. As for them saying its more secure - HA!

@K4rmaRules @MartinaSassyGal @narindertweets @UKLabour TBH, it does make a difference, it just highlights that true figures are not reported in the right way, they try to manipulate stats to look favourable.

I'm not bothered about which party is in power reporting it. It's wrong no matter who is doing it.

[MartinSalter @martinsalter]

@MartinaSassyGal @narindertweets @UKLabour Better still, your image shows all 2024, so half the year labour not even in power. If you search since elected, it's lower. Plus, as you said, many are voluntary and not enforced!

@IsabelOakeshott @RachelReevesMP I love how she blamed the Mini Budget for the borrowing issues :)
She took no responsibility for any of the issues being decisions that she has made in the last 15+ months of being in Government. Absolutely Hilarious!

[Christopher Talbot @Lord_Talbot64]

Despite close to 3 million signatures already on the No to Digital ID petition the government has responded that it intends to go ahead with it anyway. Can there be any doubt now we live in a dictatorship? Your freedom is at risk.

[MartinSalter @martinsalter]

GOV response clearly shows they do not listen to the public and do not care. This is not democratic, it was NEVER on any manifesto from Labour for the last election.

Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards https://t.co/yoCqrmkF2C

[MartinSalter @martinsalter]

Have you signed it yet?

[MartinSalter @martinsalter]

I am totally opposed to a UK ID card!

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

I have a driving licence to prove that I have passed a test to drive.

I have a passport to prove my identity and nationality when I travel abroad.

I don't need to prove who I am to anyone in my own country unless I choose to.

I refuse to have a compulsory digital ID card.

A record 6,365 agriculture, forestry, and fishing businesses closed in the UK in the 12 months leading up to June 2025
—the highest annual total ever recorded
Food Security is more than important, it's vital to our country's survival
#Food2Fork #NoFarmsNoFood
📌 Staffordshire alone saw around 180 closures, with Cannock Chase and South Staffordshire districts reporting the steepest declines in small livestock and horticultural operations.

This surge in closures has been linked to a combination of factors:
• 📉 Rising input costs and inflationary pressures
• 🧾 Inheritance tax reforms, particularly the planned 20% levy on agricultural assets over £1 million from April 2026
• 🪙 National insurance increases and regulatory burdens

The Country Land and Business Association described the situation as a “perfect storm” for rural businesses, warning that many farmers trying to modernise or diversify are being blocked by red tape and financial strain.

INHERITANCE TAX:
20% levy on agricultural assets over £1m (from April 2026) has triggered early asset sales
NI Increases:
Raised labour costs, especially in horticulture and livestock sectors
PLANNING RESTRICTIONS:
Farmers seeking to diversify (e.g. glamping, farm shops) face red tape and inconsistent approvals
Poor rural transport and broadband access hinder diversification and market access

Taxes

OH …UNITED KINGDOM
This is very interesting.
If I give you £1 billion and you stand on a street corner handing out £1 per second, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, you would still not have handed out £1 billion after 31 years!

Now read on. This is true and rather hard to really understand.

The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases.
1. A billion seconds ago, it was 1959.
2. A billion minutes ago, Jesus was alive.
3. A billion hours ago, our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
4. A billion days ago, no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
5. A billion Pounds ago was only 13 hours and 12 minutes, at the rate our present government is spending it.
We are charged:
· Stamp Duty
· Tobacco Tax
· Corporate Income Tax
· Income Tax
· Council Tax
· Unemployment Tax
· Petrol/Diesel Tax
· Inheritance Tax (tax on top of tax)
· Alcohol Tax
· G.S.T.
· Property Tax
· Purchase Property Tax
· Tax on Title Searches
· Tax on Building Inspections
· Tax on supplements
· Taxes on various food items
· Taxes on Dining out
· Tax on all utilities – Phone, hydro, water, waste disposal
· Service charge taxes
· Social Security Tax
· Vehicle License / Registration Tax
· Vehicle Sales Tax
· Workers Compensation Tax
· And now Carbon Tax
AND I’m sure you can think of more...

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 60 years ago, and our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt.
We had the largest middle class in the world. A criminal’s life was uncomfortable. What on earth happened?

You voted against an inquiry into the grooming gangs didn’t you? Nonce protectors always accuse you of what they are, it’s a well worn tactic to deflect, disgusting 🤮
