Ralph, Jesus did not have wheels..., Manchester ♥️

[Alan Smith @AlanJLSmith]

Our problem is not that taxes are too low.

It’s that spending is completely out of control.

[Scott @ScottJonesy]

Reminder.

A social media ban was NOT in Labour's 2024 Manifesto.

Neither was Digital I.D.

Oh, or State Suicide.

Or binning the two child benefit cap.

[Rob Burke @robert_burke]

Genuinely the most obvious fraud scheme in the UK currently...

How has this level of excess spend not been flagged up?? 3 million journeys would be £50 per trip.

Again, most obvious scam fraud ring in the UK currently...

[Andrew Matthews @LostinAylesbury]

Buckinghamshire council spent £819 million over a five year contract period on taxis. £163 million a year on average.

This is insane. The council could run an equivalent transport service for a fraction of this cost

[Rob Burke @robert_burke]

KEIR NOBODY IS ASKING FOR THIS YOUR POLITICAL INSTINCTS ARE SO BAD JUST DO STUFF PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

NEW: U.K. advances proposal to force Apple, Google, Signal, & other platforms to scan private content on users’ devices — executives could face prison if they refuse.

[Jay Chan @Jay10_6]

This mean students up to Year 11 will not be able to revise GCSE biology on Freesciencelessons YouTube channel.

This also mean a 15 years and 364 days old not be able to read Facebook posts from their MP or councillor, but expected to vote for them tomorrow.

World class checker

Kane ✅ indisputable
Rice ✅
Jude ✅ on his day
James ❌ no chance
Saka ❌❌ don’t make me laugh

[CounterPressers @CounterPressers]

This couldn’t be further from the truth, world class is top 3 in your position:

Harry Kane is a top 3 CF
Declan Rice is a top 3 CM
Jude Bellingham is a top 3 #10
Reece James is a top 3 RB
Bukayo Saka is a top 3 RW

At the very least, there’s 5 world class players with players like Marcus Rashford, Elliot Anderson and Nico O’Reilly all on the fringes.

[Rob Burke @robert_burke]

They broke a policewoman’s spine with a sledgehammer you halfwit

But you knew that…. absolute disregard of the facts and disgraceful tweet from a UK politician

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.

Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.

A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

[Rob Burke @robert_burke]

I think somebody almost getting beheaded in public is what ACTUALLY “fanned the flames”

Reaction is completely wrong and violent yes, 100%, but when people are labeled “far right” etc instead of being listened to

Those feelings become very ugly indeed, honest discourse needed

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame.

Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.

[Rob Burke @robert_burke]

Jesus Christ man

Oh so 9%+ interest on student loans during Covid is fine then isn’t it? Because the government definitely used that money prudently and to the benefit of everybody…

[Family Education Trust @FamEdTrust]

Chief Treasury Secretary Lucy Rigby has defended the Government’s decision to not reduce interest rates on student loans, saying the money is being used to fund benefit schemes including ‘free breakfast clubs’ and lifting the two child benefit cap.

Trapping graduates in a lifetime of debt in order to fund breakfasts for children whose parents should be feeding them at home is not beneficial to anyone - children, families or young adults starting out in life.

[Rob Burke @robert_burke]

Tommy Tuchel what the HELL was you thinking with Madueke

He’s not international quality, we have plenty of options in his position

This tournament better go well with some of these bizarre selections

[Rob Burke @robert_burke]

@stusfootyflash Harmison off his chops whilst Freddie is waffling rubbish

Class

[Rob Burke @robert_burke]

Harmison off his absolute chops on this 😂

[Stu’s Football Flashbacks @stusfootyflash]

On this day in 2006, England kicked off their World Cup campaign against Paraguay.

And in the BBC’s build-up to the match, Ray Stubbs managed to get a few words with Freddie Flintoff and Steve Harmison…

[Rob Burke @robert_burke]

@luvashxl @JMC9787 Oh so he just stabbed him to death?
Oh that’s alright then

[Rob Burke @robert_burke]

Jadon Sancho is the number 1 worst signing in united history, no competition

Deeply unlikable bloke, who committed the ultimate cardinal sin at Manchester United
He gave up.

[Stretford Paddock @StretfordPaddck]

Jadon Sancho at #MUFC:

💰 Joined for £73m from Dortmund in 2021
🔴 Made 79 appearances in his first two seasons, scoring 12 goals
💥 Fell out with Erik ten Hag in 2023
📉 Made final United appearance in 2024 Community Shield
🔄 Had loans at Dortmund, Chelsea and Aston Villa between 2024 and 2026
👋 Leaves upon the expiry of his contract for nothing

Goodbye. Freedom, at last. 🤥

[Jim Shannon MP @JimShannonMP]

It is time that these decisions are traceable to the individuals who are making them so they can be held to account for their reasoning.

[Pat @KhunPat27]

@ZackPolanski The Telegraph: “Zack Polanski says food is too cheap and suppliers should be paid more.”

Zack Polanski: “That’s a lie. What I actually said was food is too cheap and suppliers should be paid more.”

Outstanding defence.

[Rob Burke @robert_burke]

Thats just what I was worried about

Thanks Amazon, Dad enjoy your blu tack mate

[Rob Burke @robert_burke]

The more I see the clip the more I can’t believe it

A British politician, scoffing, making stupid faces, at the idea of SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

It’s baffling, it’s not a debate it’s basic fundamental economics

How can you trust somebody this low intelligence to make any decisions?

[James Klüg @jamesklug]

You cannot maintain a functioning society if people who are this stupid are involved in politics

[Rob Burke @robert_burke]

In the UK you have “politicians” who bawl and laugh condescendingly, at the basic concept of supply and demand.

And people vote for these people. We are absolutely finished.

[Rob Burke @robert_burke]

We are so back

[Sky Sports Cricket @SkyCricket]

Jamie Smith departs for one and England are now 55-5 😧
