Never book a trip through @Trip . Unless you want to turn up at an airport and be told they have no record of you and be left stranded. Worst customer service experience since.

Italy owns our railway operators, Canada our water utilities, India our steel industry and a Czech billionaire has bought Royal Mail. And there's a 'huge patriotism row' because MPs are eating off German plates?

HS2, a train that travels only 120 miles on Earth, was more expensive than the International Space Station which took 10 years and 15 countries to build.

In Space.

Tens of millions of Brits live in a static fantasy- about a country that actually Never Ever cared about them..
But never mind; have a cup of tea and carry on eh.

One of those clips where you have to make sure you're not hallucinating.
Donald Trump says Palestinians ought not be allowed to return to Gaza because "why would they want to return? That place has been hell" — next to the grinning man who made it hell

If this was Africa or Asia (let alone the hated rules-based EU) the Americans would call it out as third world banana republic corruption. Which it is

[La Liga Systems @janufooty]

TalkSport whining about John Duran;

While on most other videos praising the Premier League for being the most lucrative/marketable financially

+ how the rest of Europe is broke

+ how money = quality

Their own narratives come apart so hilariously

Entire communities will be decimated if Grangemouth closes.

But a football club who pays its footballers £300000/week gets a slice of my taxes to develop their stadium??

@AnasSarwar come on..do something.

i dunno man, flying was pretty safe until Trump took office, his top adviser forced out the FAA head, and he implemented a hiring freeze on air traffic controllers as part of a bigoted rampage against women and people of color having jobs

[Chris Law MP @ChrisLawSNP]

From Manchester to Oxford, from Cambridge to London, Labour invests

Yet,£800 million supercomputer in Edinburgh cancelled;carbon capture storage ignored & Grangemouth oil refinery left hanging & face closure by UK Labour

Scotland can do better

2016: Conservative Chancellor George Osborne explains how Brexit will create a permanent, annual, £30 billion black hole in the UK finances and to balance this out you need to raise tax or cut spending, and probably do both

2024: Keir Starmer, "Nobody wants higher taxes. Just like nobody wants public spending cuts. But we have to be realistic about where we are as a country"

"What we can't do is waste any more time. Politics is a choice. And it's time to chose a clear path. To embrace the hard light of fiscal reality so we can come together behind a credible long-term plan"

"It's time we ran towards the tough decisions. Because ignoring them set us on this path to decline"

"The time is long overdue for politicians in this country to level with you honestly about the trade off this country faces, to stop insulting your intelligence with the chicanery of easy answers"

When will Labour be honest about the cost of Brexit and state clearly that Brexit is one of the main reasons there is a black hole in the public finances?

[Stan Collymore @StanCollymore]

I'll make my point a little more seriously.

£37bn of tax money of many people reading this went during Covid to allegedly corrupt people and organisations.

Not one head has rolled, not one person arrested, not one person doorstepped to answer questions.

Just one puff ball interview with one woman and her husband.

That £37bn has cost British lives, savings, businesses and hope. Still, 4 years later, zero accountability for a monster political story.

Instead, in all seriousness, a senior UK tv journalist has tweeted a story that's so irrelevant that anyone reading it can only draw one conclusion. That "look over there at a shiny bulshit story that'll titilate " replaces serious political journalism surrounding corruption of the state.

You've just tweeted a one liner in Private Eye when you should be looking for the front page of UK state corruption.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

If you are worried about

Benefit Fraud £0.5bn, but not Government Corruption £219bn.

Immigration £2bn, but not Tax Havens £150bn.

Junior Doctors pay rises £1.3bn, but not Bankers tax cuts £7.3bn.

You‘re buying their lies.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Once you realize that they don't want you to live they just want to extract maximum profit from you while you do.

Everything makes sense.

Now, why would a Cayman Islands-registered hedge fund with shares worth hundreds of millions of pounds in fossil fuels, private health firms, arms manufacturers and asset managers donate 4 million pounds to Labour's election fund?

Oh, yeah...
