I find that everything is being repeated from politicians lies & corruption and Dad's Army on BBC. My tweets don't necessarily express my views.

@HeidiBachram I suppose a line of burnt Israeli babies would have been going too far.

@grenville_1 @ClarkeMicah @drkevindunce A vpn (virtual private network) hides your iP address and country. This is normal used to prevent hackers but it also has the advantage of making you untraceable.

@ClarkeMicah @drkevindunce As a user of X, you can't find the IP address of another user of X.
You'd have to be quite a highly privileged server-side administrator within X to be able to get at this info.

@DesmondSwayne We certainly can afford it, it's just a choice where taxpayers money is spent.

If, like me, you were born in 1956, you’ll receive almost £300,000 more in benefits than you’ll pay in taxes in your lifetime
State Pensions make up a huge chunk of that
Long term, we simply can’t afford to sustain the Triple Lock’s generosity

@davidharsanyi "Power corrupts, absolute power corrupt absolutely" this is the message from Orwell whether it be left or right
English

Animal Farm was a satire of communism. (And the chances that Orwell would have seen common cause with contemporary anti-Western socialists is close to zero)

@KeruboSk Possibly the opposite! Massive debt and a qualification that won't get you a job. All this while your mates too thick to go to university are raking in the money as electricians, plumbers, etc.

@AllisonPearson @reformparty_uk You are making the assumption there will be another General Election
English

Be of good cheer.
More in Conmon poll says Reeves, Cooper, Miliband will lose their seats at the general election.
16 out of 22 Cabinet ministers will lose their seats to @reformparty_uk
Labour are finished.

@colinwalker79 Shows how much we have fallen. With the exception of the interconnector with France all or electricity was generated in the UK in the past
English

Britain's electricity is its 'most British' in over 20 years
Just 46 per cent of the energy was imported, while 53 per cent was generated in the UK

@paullewismoney @UKMoneyWellness @Moneybox @BBCRadio4 All depends on how you measure poverty and how the parents spend their windfall.

🚨 Mandelson to be fined £300 for urinating against a wall
Kensington and Chelsea Council plans to hand him a fixed penalty notice after he relieved himself in public last year.
It appears that leaking piss is a more serious offence than leaking sensitive documents in modern Britain.

@triffic_stuff_ While that may be true in the short term, prices were already spiralling out of control before the war. Still it's better than a nuclear weapon delivered on London by an Iranian intercontinental ballistic missile.

🚨STARMER BLASTS TRUMP: IT’S TRUMP’S FAULT UK FAMILIES HAVE SKY HIGH ENERGY BILLS! 😳
Prime Minister Points Finger Directly At Us President For Punishing British Households With Wild And Soaring Price Swings
Whoa! Keir Starmer has taken the gloves off completely and is now openly blaming President Donald Trump, alongside Putin, for the sky-high and fluctuating energy bills hammering UK families and businesses.
Speaking during his Gulf visit as oil prices surged above $110 a barrel amid escalating Middle East tensions and Trump’s strong rhetoric, the Prime Minister unleashed his frustration at global leaders he claims are causing the chaos.
“I’m fed up with the fact that families across the country see their bills go up and down on energy, businesses bills go up and down on energy because of the actions of Putin or Trump across the world,” Starmer declared.
This provocative swipe escalates transatlantic tensions, but critics are pointing to Starmer’s net zero obsession, refusal to allow new North Sea drilling, and heavy green taxes have left Britain dangerously reliant on volatile imports, making UK energy prices among the highest in the world regardless of international events.

@Ainsworth7Jo @6117CH @miriam_cates The UK has one of the lowest state pension in Europe. I suggest don't retire, if you don't check any additional benefits you may be eligible for.
English

@GrumpyPete @6117CH @miriam_cates Unsustainable means it cannot carry on indefinitely without reform. Any reform should be based on income not assets or savings. I’ll soon be of state pension age, I do not have a personal private pension, auto enrolment started in 2012 so not sure how much that’s worth.
English

“Reform’s commitment to keep the triple lock is the final nail in the coffin for the hope of pension reform from the Right. Britain’s young people are now condemned to pay through the nose for the retirement of the wealthiest generation in history.” ✍️👇
