Hard choices, easy life. Easy choices, hard life....

On an average UK supermarket shop you can pay £15-18 to the Government in tax.

The supermarkets make between £1.80 and £3.00 profit.

If the Government wants shoppers to not be ripped off they should cut taxes!!!

It is unclear what Andy Burnham can actually do to help Spain other than making a TikTok video where he eats some paella.

Lame soundbites from John Healey and nothing on the huge fiscal challenges facing the new Chancellor... 🤷‍♂️

This para is particularly naff 👇 (note the populist rhetoric and the mindset that it's government that keeps prices down, not market forces 🙄)

Show me a more competitive market than the supermarkets? How much cost is actually a results of ridiculous regulatory burdens and employment costs imposed by Government?

Any chance you could begin being serious in your third week, Prime Minister?

@djlc78 @BNHWalker @robfordmancs She got Two thirds of the 25% who could be bothered. Metro Mayors a complete waste of time and money

So what’s the point in devolving? If you know what you want it to be spent on just spend it there from central gov

25% turnout for a Mayoral election, just as the former Mayor announces Mayors will rise in importance and have access to more funds. Three quarters of the electorate don’t give a toss, and an even larger number did not vote for his successor, despite “Manchesterism” 🙄

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

We get it, you’re Northern. Now anything about the invasion across Europe?

UK prime minister… relatable to half wits

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

What do you call one of these…

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Nauseating hypocrisy. You and your party’s green mongering over the years have driven BP and others away. You gave virtue signalling priority over jobs, families, communities. And now you express concern for them. Pass the sick bag. Scotland is truly run by a kakistocracy. But Scots only have themselves to blame. They keep electing self-serving numpties.

[John Rentoul @JohnRentoul]

They’re kind of misunderstanding the point of devolution, which is to be given power by the PM to do things the PM wants

[PhilGardener @phildener]

The audience cutaways are surely from another show or AI generated, I cannot believe anyone can find this vaguely amusing, they can’t do.

Live at the Apollo was cancelled due to low viewing figures. I wonder why?

That’s a No then

Two contenders for junk science of the year appeared today.

1. A study found that people born during WWII have lower rates of dementia than people born afterwards. Based on nothing but the temporal correlation, they attribute this to sugar rationing. 🧵

Hold on a minute....

Ten years ago, an extra 2% charge was added to our council tax bills to help fund local social care

The Adult Social Care Precept

So what happened to that money?
