@TomTugendhat Nope, unfortunately people have to think about prices, the likes of Denby have been hugely undercut by the Chinese for decades. It is a shame, but no government is going to fund every struggling business.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Yesterday we had JD Vance wading in on British politics.

Now we have Pete Hegseth using D-Day commemorations to score a political point.

A complete insult to the memory of our D-Day heroes.

[Alethea Bernard @Tush27J]

So. We have Nigel Farage who fails to turn up for interviews and Zia Yusuf who turns up for interviews, but fails to answer any questions.

Question. What exactly is the point of Reform UK?

A minute of silence was held in honour of all the doctors, medics and healthcare workers killed by the israelis in Gaza during the genocide

Clarion Housing destroyed an active swift colony by demolishing a building early, breaching the Wildlife and Countryside Act. Tell the Surrey Police crime commissioner to enforce the law 👉https://t.co/cZqGFTt3uc It’s #worldswiftday but no one gives a monkeys.

🇫🇷 France under Macron has given another shock to Netanyahu 🔥

🇫🇷 France has opened a war crimes investigation into Israel's physical abuse and sexual harassment of people detained after Israeli forces intercepted a Gaza-bound aid flotilla.

France will not tolerate any ill behavior towards its citizens 🔥🔥🔥

Netanyahu deserves such belt treatment from France.

The whole of Europe is getting united against Israel 🔥✔️

I know nobody cares about us Except a few, I know we're just a post and it's going to end but I'm really afraid, i need to save my family.

45 years ago there were no black MPs in parliament & very few women. Had it not been for efforts to change this, the likes of Kemi Badenoch would not be there. She now derides DEI initiatives, & yes they can go too far & go wrong, but they have helped build a much fairer society.

[Brentwood Birder @BrentwoodBirder]

Utterly disgusted to see Croudace Homes wilfully clearing mature trees and hedgerows in Shenfield during the height of the breeding season. Century old oaks hosting nesting birds and other wildlife have been felled. We need to place more value on our natural environment.

[Bob Morgan 🇬🇧🇺🇦 💙 @Bbmorg]

Trump and Vance want the World to believe this never happened. Once this lie is believed they have won.

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

I'm grateful to Zia Yusuf for giving a masterclass in how to come across as an arrogant, entitled, self-important prick.

It is ironic that whilst a good few far right men, claiming to be Christian, swear they would not fight for their country and that they hate Muslims, when hundreds of thousands of Muslims fought, and many died, for Britain in WW2.

You could call them the State Police or maybe the German name works better: Geheime Staatspolizei or just Gestapo for short.

And this has absolutely nothing to do with Nigel Farage calling for crypto to be deregulated?!? 😂

[Withnail Jones @withnailjones]

Rael Braverman grew up in SA and was a manager at Mercedes. For some reason he thinks he is a political giant and not the emasculated husband of a former Tory minister who was consistently shit at her job.

Wild.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel just assassinated Ali in South Lebanon.

Not a fighter. Not armed.

Ali was a nurse.

They hunted him down with a drone, and executed him as he made his way to work at Hiram hospital in Tyre.

Israel isn’t targeting combatants.

It’s targeting the people who save lives.

[Kernow Q @KernowQ]

Impossible to vote for tories after sunak truss liar-Johnson and mayhem, so I voted Labour in 24 as best placed to keep tories out.
But that negative reason has changed completely.
I have even joined Labour to show how much I support the stability & sense with @Keir_Starmer
