@Yampy2022 @ArchRose90 Unless you’re an importer, exporter, farmer or fisherman, where trade has been badly affected for no reason other that some fvkwits wanted out so the EU wouldn’t be able to scrutinise their offshore finances, and made up a pack of lies to persuade the gullible to vote for it
@Councillorsuzie Proud is one thing, spending £1 billion in doing so unnecessarily, when a simpler ‘celebration’ could easily be gone in these times of Govt corruption, is another.
@PippaCrerar The country changed to metric 57 years ago along with most of rest of world, when Boris was 1 year old!
FFS - more nationalistic meaningless bollocks!
@danwootton Cretin
Stopping testing, closing test centres, not counting or publishing daily deaths - which are still high, doesn’t mean covid is over, it means the Govt is fckin irresponsible, and sadly ppl look the other way.
@Harry07Harold@joncoopertweets @TrendingLiberal Amendment
It’s in the name
It was devised 200 years ago, at a time of stick & stones compared to todays modern repeating assault rifles
Make the amendment change - ban owning all assault weapons, period, and ban any gun owned by civilians on the street. Now. Just for starters
@mikeysmith Rewriting the rules of behaviour for ministers, and by definition how he should behave, so he doesn’t have to resign - another brick in the democracy wall removed, against the will of the public, by a fascist regime, willing to rewrite the ministerial constitution to suit them
@bkaner7@mellow_elephant@timspencer1@MikeEllis132 EDF is state owned in France. They didn’t sell off their energy producers, so whilst they are affected by prices, the Govt has control
In UK it’s all market forces, as Thatcher sold them all off to be run, for profit, away from state control. That horse bolted a long time ago!
@LetsStopC9 As I’ve said for ages, the xenophobic crass Govt are abandoning those who ask for solace, closing safe routes; forcing ppl into boats, inadequate funding of applications, yet are prepared to inhumanely traffic ppl at huge cost to Rwanda. Shameful
#NotInMyName#toryracists
@Stuart4WolvesSW @BorisJohnson Must have been an incredibly long statement if he’s rectified his multiple mistakes & lies to parliament.
You obviously take us for fools

@timspencer1@mellow_elephant@bkaner7@MikeEllis132 That’s your energy supplier, but it’s about the energy producers which are getting the windfall tax. Suppliers are on very slim margins which is why so many went bust with the cap, as they have to buy energy from producers at global rate
@mellow_elephant@MikeEllis132@bkaner7@timspencer1 They’re getting so much profit globally at the moment, prob more the case more pension funds / investments are ploughing into them, as long as Ukraine war still happens
@mellow_elephant@bkaner7@timspencer1@MikeEllis132 That’s self defeating. If Govt taxes then, guess what happens to your energy bills, to your pension providers who invest in them. They own the power stations! The energy can go through wires to EU who are willing to pay. Gas to EU
Otherwise every country would do it 😎
@timspencer1@bkaner7@mellow_elephant@MikeEllis132 Over 70% of UK water industry is owned by foreign international companies, wrapped up in banks, hedge funds, ppl’s pension funds, super-rich, foreign Govts & banks.
It’s not UK Govt’s right to take it back - that boat sailed a long time ago in 1989, when Maggie sold it all !
@bkaner7@timspencer1@mellow_elephant@MikeEllis132 They’re multi-national companies (the suppliers), not just operate in UK.
It’s not a franchise.
Govt doesn’t own it - remember Sid?! Thatcher started big sell off of the utility suppliers years ago. They’re commercial beasts - Govts can’t just nab it back!
