I am in favour of Reform winning councils so everyone sees how utterly awful they are when they have to actually run things instead of just painting roundabouts and droning on about a full English.
There is a myth, very widely held in Labour, that we achieved an huge popular victory in 2024 under Starmer.
In fact we won 9.7 million votes, over 3 million fewer than in 2017 and half a million less than the 'disastrous' 2019 poll.
We won because the Tories imploded in 2024.
I don’t think you have even the slightest grasp of how defence infrastructures are integrated, especially when it comes to the USA. They have over ten thousand American personnel over 12 major airbases on British soil and lease or use a further ten sites taking it to about 22 US military sites in Britain.
Pretending you’ll “stop” this if you were in charge is childishly absurd and displays the kind of juvenile ignorance which demonstrates why you are even less suited for office than the nitwits currently in charge, which is really saying something.
Replacing nitwits with a moonbat is not an upgrade.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
We currently have the U.K. Prime minister and Home Secretary, both of immigrant heritage, taking time out of their schedules to support an established racist on social media (anyone who questions that description, please listen to his radio interview with @mrjamesob a few years back where he was literally exposed as such) over his account being closed down by a highly exclusive bank. They have apparently done so in the name of “free speech”. Can you imagine the PM or Cruella intervening, commenting or suggesting a clampdown on banks if you or I, or even a “politically outspoken” celebrity like Gary Lineker, were refused an account with a bank that is openly highly selective about its clientele? So why are they getting involved to support this vile man? Perhaps we should consider how much of the current govt’s xenophobic rhetoric plays to exactly the same mentality that gave the reviled far right NF initials of the 70’s a new lease of life through one hateful man.
@HenninghamPress This is the best thread I’ve read in a long time, but I’m just sorry you’re living through this hell. I understand your pain all too well and IOSS has been a nightmare. Every customs agency also makes up its own rules when it comes to imports, which is a lot of fun.
@ShopifySupport I’ve spoken to live support. It’s just worrying that such a huge bug is not made transparent to merchants in public documentation. How do we explain this to new customers?
@DeborahMeaden@getfussy@Tesco Excellent news! @getfussy, please also join the B Corp Beauty Coalition. Your contribution to the packaging group would be valuable https://t.co/LtP9f959MR
@PeterKSimeonov@marcrandolph Unless you’re raising, which is more likely when bootstrapping from career-gained wealth is not an option. Unlikely investors will be happy with exploring, mistakes and learning 🧨

2020s: British Indians get abused on the street for not allowing migrants into the country
My generation of South Asian kids were told by their migrant parents they’d failed at life if they didn’t become a doctor, lawyer or pharmacist. Things just got a lot harder, kids! 😅 #HumzaYousaf#Scotland#LeoVaradkar
Not snobbery. If you had an ounce of journalistic integrity you would have refused to go because other outlets, including the BBC, were banned. You are a loss making propaganda machine funded by the far right and your hosts are often conspiracy theorists, hate mongers & cranks.
@TwittySandra@OVOEnergy Same. I switched over from the disaster that is @BulbUK. I’ve found @OVOEnergy to be a breath of fresh air in comparison. App works brilliantly and CS is always responsive - even if it does take a while to speak to someone. Credit where it’s due.

@JimMoor70058163@calcotthall Everyone deserves a fair wage. Consumers need to better understand the cost of produce, and especially in the case of the US, waste less.
For all the talk of empty shelves…that’s not what we see locally outside of major budget supermarkets.
Last pic is a statement from our local farm shop and is worth a read.
