It's worth dipping a toe in the water

[Michelle Dewberry @MichelleDewbs]

The fact this isn’t being and hasn’t been classed as a national emergency is an utter disgrace.

[Aja ♀️🇬🇧 @AjaTheEmpress]

What the f*** does Palestine have to do with fixing the potholes on my road? Or removing the junkies from my local park? Absolutely nothing yet here we are using it as an election tactic. I'm so sick of politicians caring about everything except the UK. Fuck off to gaza and get elected there.

[Gareth Icke @garethicke]

This nation is fertile, green, surrounded by fish filled waters, and sits upon coal, oil and gas.

The reason we're fucked is because we have been intentionally sabotaged, for well over half a century, by those that claimed to represent our interests.

[James Cox @Good_Old_Blakey]

Imagine if we voted for a low tax Government. A Govt that didn't waste our tax money on foreign aid, green climate change nonsense, countless unnecessary quangos, a bloated overpaid civil service and mass immigration.
Imaging taxes being spent on infrastructure, an efficient health service, education and defence. A massively smaller benefits system that encourages all but the genuinely impaired to work.
Low taxes, less interference and lower regulation would allow private businesses to thrive. People would be encouraged to stand on their own feet and grow prosperity.
If only...

[Out of Context Human Race @NoContextHumans]

So true

[Lee Harris @LeeHarris]

Today, Rachel Reeves will say she has to make *tough choices* and taxes have to go up, again.

Meanwhile, she's spaffing

£6bn on illegals
£10bn on welfare for foreign nats
£14bn on foreign aid
£22bn on carbon capture
£8.5bn on GB Energy

Remember.
This is a political choice.

[Jen k 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @Jenny_1884]

It’s absolutely scandalous that our Energy bills are going up once again in January as we pay the highest in the WHOLE OF THE WORLD

How is this being allowed?

[StarmerOut @ForeverScept]

@PolitlcsUK @thetimes Just deport the migrants who are not a net positive tax contribution.

Cull the civil service and stop spending our taxes on stupid stuff nobody wants.

[News Uncut: Straight Talk, Hard Truths @newsuncut_]

@PolitlcsUK @thetimes Raise £2bn for what? Ukraine? MPs expenses? Muslim communities? Contraception in Pakistan?
The problem isn't having enough money.
The problem is huge Government wastage.

[Harriet Sergeant @HarrietSergeant]

Britain, where “just popping out” is now an extreme sport. This week’s fatalities: dog walk, bank queue, train ride.
Place your bets for next week.

Douglas Murray on the current state of the UK:

“I don’t recognize our country anymore. I don’t understand why we have given in to Islamists who parade in London, calling for jihad and praising Hamas. They hate Britain just as much as they hate Israel.”

Now seems the right time to share this

How to Book a Return Flight Advertised as £26

1. Choose the flight (usually departing at 6 a.m., meaning in order to get to the airport you have to wake up 11 minutes after you go to bed).

2. Realise the £26 didn’t include the return flight or taxes, and also that the £26 was merely an estimate. You also refreshed the page at one point, which raised the price for some reason. The tickets now cost £223.

3. Add one very small bag. The tickets now cost £280. Add that bag to the return flight. The tickets now cost £324.

4. Choose a seat. The cheapest seat is £11.50 and is on the wing. The second cheapest is £16 and is in the rear toilet. Pick a basic seat for “£23+”, which turns out to mean £33. The tickets are now £357.

5. Pay £4 for insurance so if they lose your bag, they have to take some responsibility for it. The tickets now cost £361.

6. Click “Buy now”. For reasons unknown, the tickets are now showing as £418.25.

7. Decide to stay at home.

Girls: Have one of these in your bag wherever you go. You never know when you'll be struck with period pains etc. Be careful not to get any in your eyes though, it's almost like being pepper sprayed- which you MUSTN'T carry because that's illegal in the UK.

If your GCSE Maths result wasn’t great, don’t worry. In the UK, you can still get a top job whilst being poor with numbers and lying on your CV

[Jeremy Clarkson @JeremyClarkson]

If your A level results are disappointing, don’t worry. I got a C and two Us and here I am today, installing lights for a helicopter landing pad in my garden.
