Agree with this completely. Now let’s have a think about the reasons for those struggles.

@ArchRose90 @Fox_Claire @iamtomskinner 100%. Taxing and regulating the self-employed and small businesses into oblivion is economically illiterate lunacy. It’s like Starmer & Reeves are part of an Ant & Dec sketch. “Now tell them doing digital quarterly returns is easier and cheaper for them”

I’ve read a fair amount of insults thrown at @iamtomskinner today but what he said here was the most truthful contribution on the panel. He’s a businessman and understands the pinch small businesses and working people are experiencing under this Labour government. #bbcqt

Now do Bristol.

Basically this forever

Don’t think I’ve ever encountered such a pathetic, lying weasel of a man in any walk of life as this wankpuffin. Not a political statement. Just a fact.

@shiftygrifty @michael_reid11 Being outrun comes into play when you are no longer as good as you were. A valid stat this season.

@michael_reid11 It’s the same waffle as xG

Just on the obsession with Liverpool being "outrun" Liverpool were "outrun" in 26/38 Premier League games in 2021-22. They got 92 pts that season. The amount of running you are doing is far from the most important factor.

@AnfieldWatch Yes. Regardless of results. Horrible football to watch.

Two massive quarter-finals to prepare for and a fight for the Champions League places.

Liverpool’s anaemic title defence has to go down as one of the worst in years. To play with this lack of intensity, this lack of organisation defensively, this lack of pace is so poor and reflects badly on Arne Slot. Liverpool teams have identity. This one doesn’t.  Liverpool are such a difficult watch: good players shorn of energy and belief (Kerkez and Mamardashvili played well, Ngumoha deserves to come on earlier). Mitigating factors exist, including the failure to move earlier last summer and land Marc Guehi that proved very damaging.   A decision has to be made on Slot in the summer, but surely not now. Not while Liverpool are still in the Champions League  - although PS-G’s Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Barcola and Doue will take some stopping by that vulnerable defence. Not while they are still in the FA Cup - although they travel to Manchester City four days before visiting PS-G. And not while they still have a chance of finishing in the top five - although their run-in involves run-ins: Everton, Manchester United and Aston Villa away. Fulham, Palace, Chelsea (six-pointer) and Brentford at home. Forbidding schedule. #LFC

@A_J_Snowden @SuzanneEvans1 @KemiBadenoch This clown show is also the responsibility of @CommonsSpeaker. Either enforce the answering of direct questions or abandon this grotesque waste of valuable taxpayers’ money every week.

What is Starmer scared of? What is he hiding on Mandleson? I’m sick of listening to Starmer’s pre-scripted drivel masquerading as answers at #PMQs We know the answer to the question @KemiBadenoch asked him 6 times, he just doesn’t want to say it. So I called him out for it.

@EdwardJDavey, let us be clear about what you have just said. Thousands of people gathered on the Embankment in central London yesterday and chanted death to America and death to Israel. A speaker from a charity named in a Lords report on Iranian influence in Britain led the crowd in chants of death to America and death to Israel in Arabic. Bobby Vylan led chants of death, death, death to the IDF. Banners celebrated the bombing of Tel Aviv. Khamenei's autobiography was on sale for seventeen pounds. And your considered assessment is that the greatest threat to Britain comes from Nigel Farage. Zarah Sultana has been referred to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards for posting language described as a modern iteration of the medieval blood libel. Vote Palestine 2026 activists are going door to door in May's local elections making lists of people who fail to denounce Israel. The Walney report documents ten charities with links to the Iranian regime operating under British charitable status, four of them in receipt of Gift Aid, subsidised by the British taxpayer. The Foreign Office attended an Iranian embassy party days after the regime massacred thousands of its own citizens and called it normal diplomacy. And your considered assessment is that the greatest threat to Britain comes from Reform. The Union Jack, which you invoke so tenderly, has been described as a tool of hate in a leaked government social cohesion document produced under your political allies. Concern about mass immigration has been classified alongside white supremacism in official Prevent training materials published on gov.uk. Churchill has been removed from the currency without a vote, without a debate, without asking anyone. And your considered assessment is that the greatest threat to Britain comes from the people objecting to all of the above. This is not naivety, Ed. A naive man stumbles into error. You have walked into this position with your eyes open, wrapped it in the language of patriotism, and pointed the finger of blame at the people trying to defend the country you claim to love. That is not a mistake. That is a choice. And it tells us everything we need to know about why Britain is in the condition it is in. The greatest danger to Britain does not come from Tehran or Moscow. You are right about that. It comes from politicians who can look at everything happening in this country and conclude that the real enemy is the people refusing to look away.

@JamesMelville @thecoastguy Completely unsurprised to see the cretinous MP for Bristol South on this list. Absolutely shambolic individual.

Here’s the list of the 304 MPs who voted to end the right to jury trials. All of them are Labour MPs. This is an affront to British justice. They have ripped the heart out of a constitutional principle. Shameful.

The Business has the best accumulation of soundtracks and I won’t be taking any questions.

But parachuting economically inept think tankers into safe seats so they can influence policy with their mad ideas is ok, apparently.

@ptgorst @LivEchoLFC - Manager’s post match press conference where he sounds like he was sat in the press gallery casually observing the game rather than being, you know, the manager.

A game that ticked every single box that has made this a grotesque season for Liverpool. A meaningless first half. Forced to respond. Forward on, defender off, structural collapse. Stoppage-time winner against them. Report from Wolves. liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football…

Had MPs' pay been linked to GDP per capita (which measures the average economic output per person) as we @the_tpa have constantly called for, then their salary today would be roughly £12k less. MPs should not be protected from the consequences of their own destructive policies.

@MrJamesMay @TheMrLoophole Seriously way off on this one, May. I’ve been frequently overtaken on 30mph roads by cyclists. No problem with that tbf. Must have legs the size of lockdown man’s penis.

Very, very few people are capable of breaking the speed limit, even the 20mph one, on a bicycle. Legal electric-assist bicycles in the UK are limited to 15mph. The problem being identified here is with illegal electric motorcycles and e-scooters, which are nothing to do with cycling.

Thousands of cyclists, e-bike and e-scooter riders are breaking the rules and yet no one is being held accountable. The law simply hasn’t kept pace. If we want safer roads, we need proper regulation, identification and enforcement. Please read my views in this article. #cycling
