@europeangreens @TheGreenParty What % of the European population are Trans? 0.001? No wonder the greens are a laughing stock 😂🤡🔔🔚s

📢 Trans rights are under attack in Europe and in other places including the US and the UK, but we say it loud and clear: trans rights are human rights and deserve protection and recognition. 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans rights are human rights. #transdayofvisibility

@ITVNewsPolitics Is that the ISIS fella in a suit. 😂🤡🔔🔚

@JohnSwinney "The SNP is clear: energy powers should be firmly in Scotland’s hands" aka we'll close what's left of the oil and gas industry down and rely on windmills.

Great to be at St Fergus Gas Terminal today, hearing from those at the heart of our vital energy industry. Labour policies are hammering energy jobs and people in Scotland are left to pay the price. The SNP is clear: energy powers should be firmly in Scotland’s hands.

@YvetteCooperMP Foreign Secretary. FML.😂

My statement with France, Germany and Italy on our united opposition to Israel’s death penalty law. The death penalty is wrong and we oppose it around the world. gov.uk/government/new…

@KHarveyProctor @seanbwparker @scott_mills @BBC The evidence is that he is guilty….of doing a job he’s shit at.

I am deeply concerned by the @scott_mills story, following his sacking by @BBC. Mills was allegedly investigated by the Metropolitan Police, with a file handed to the CPS who decided there was insufficient evidence to prosecute. If an individual can be investigated, cleared of prosecution due to insufficient evidence, & still face professional ruin, then we are entering dangerous territory. Institutions must be very careful not to substitute due process with reputational expediency. Justice cannot operate on suspicion alone, nor can fairness be preserved if allegations—untested in a court of law—are treated as proof. We must ask ourselves: are we upholding justice, or quietly dismantling it?

@jonburkeUK The carbon footprint of installing one wind turbine is always far more than the ‘clean’ energy it produces. Oh and the steel and composites come from the far east…

Renewable energy is re-industrialising Britain, such as at Siemens in Hull, where they make the largest turbine blades in the world. You can find this out with a ten second Google search. Yet, strange men on the internet keep telling me we buy everything from China.

@JaneFranklin99 @16AirAssltBCT @ForcesNews Good to see the entirety of the Paras on exercise

More than 270 soldiers are parachuting onto Salisbury Plain from A400Ms. This training exercise is the largest parachute jump in the UK in more than a decade. ⁦@16AirAssltBCT⁩ @forcesnews

@Fremond_ @WilliamClouston Where can you watch this? Never heard of it

i've been watching the BBC series The Shadow of the Tower, which chronicles the rise to power of Henry VII after the War of the Roses and his struggle to establish the Tudor dynasty on the throne of England. Watching it is a stark reminder of how, not long ago, this was a very different country. Ask yourself, would the BBC today commission such a piece of historical re-enactment? Would it attempt to faithfully portray the mind and motives of Henry, the political intrigues of the Council, or the deeply alien world of late-medieval England - without smothering it in modern moral commentary? The answer is obviously no. The BBC of 1972 was actually interested in portraying British history, for a British public who had been taught this at school. There was an implicit sense that this is the history of the land and the people who inhabit it should naturally wish to see it faithfully represented. Today, we have lost confidence in our past. When we do deal with it, it is only insofar as we recognise our wrongdoings. It has become a cautionary tale about the present, rather than a world worth inhabiting in its own sense. And that's a great, great shame.

@un_British @BBCBreakfast Utter guff. Common knowledge in Southampton he was gay.

@AdyP @BBCBreakfast He started working for the BBC before he came out you dullard

Scott Mills has been sacked by the BBC following allegations about his personal conduct. The 53 year old took over the Radio 2 breakfast show from Zoe Ball in January 2025. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@MichaelHal26574 @kedwards_kevin @BBCBreakfast Missing the point. He didn’t get the job on ability. 🔔🔚

@AdyP @kedwards_kevin @BBCBreakfast Putting a gay person on the payroll? Christ! Heaven forbid gays have to work. Pair of twats

@BBCr4today @hzeffman They need all the money they can get to house illegal immigrants. So doubtful

Will the government follow other countries like Australia and Ireland and cut fuel duty in response to the ongoing war in Iran? Chief political correspondent @HZeffman says there is an 'expectation' that government help will come later in the year.

@RoyalNavy @RFALymeBay How many admirals on board? 3?

The #RoyalNavy is stepping up its minehunting capabilities as @RFALymeBay gets ready to take on new cutting-edge uncrewed equipment. The kit will be able to detect, identify and neutralise threats, with Lyme Bay acting as 'mothership'. ➡️royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2026/marc…

@ChrisHazzardSF Fucking hell still banging on about stuff that happened over a hundred years ago. I might have to post 1066 when I get time.

OTD in 1849 in Mayo’s Doolough Valley hundreds of starving souls were forced into a 20mile death march to 'verify' their agony Refused relief because colonial officials were "at lunch”, families were left to die at the roadside with grass in their mouths Ná dearmad go deo 🕯️

@FootballFunnys John Stones 😂. Wouldn’t get near England if he played for anyone but City.

What's stopping this England team from winning the World Cup this year? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@kedwards_kevin @MichaelHal26574 @BBCBreakfast So true. It’s like the BBC is deliberately trying to alienate its audience.

@MichaelHal26574 @AdyP @BBCBreakfast Well it wasn’t talent he was awful same as the lad that’s on before him he’s dreadful as well. Thank god for Greatest hits radio

@RafHM @FennellJW Tbf the Stuarts were the last British monarchs we had. They’ve all been krauts since.

Today (24 March) is the anniv. of the Union of the Scottish & English Crowns in 1603, when James VI of Scotland also became King James I of England (France and Ireland) Never forget: Scotland wasn't colonised by England (as the SNP claim) It was a Scottish king who united the Crowns in 1603 and it was Scotland that first called for a union with England (1690s), resulting in the Act of Union in 1707, which created Great Britain and a single parliament. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@SamaHoole ‘Throws with lethal accuracy’ (unless female)

Gorilla vs Human. Same ancestor. Very different direction. Gorilla: - Eats 18kg of vegetation daily - Enormous gut takes up most of body cavity - Stomach pH 4-5 - Spends 8 hours a day eating to break even on calories - Brain: 500cc - Cannot throw with any accuracy - Did not build anything - Still doing what it was doing 10 million years ago Human: - Eats 1-2kg of food daily, mostly animal-derived - Compact gut, 40% smaller than expected for primate of this size - Stomach pH 1.5 - Gets full caloric needs from a single sitting - Brain: 1,400cc - Throws with lethal accuracy - Built civilisation - Went to the moon You don't get to the moon on 18kg of leaves a day. The metabolic efficiency of fat-based nutrition is the reason one of these primates is still in the forest and the other one has a space programme.

@BBCr4today @FelicityHannah Great bloke. Keeping a good value quality pint available for all.

"There's a lot of smoke and mirrors." Sir Tim Martin, founder of pub chain JD Wetherspoon, tells @FelicityHannah that despite government help, the company is 'heavily impacted by the great increase in costs' to the industry.

@Feargal_Sharkey The latest wave of 'refugees' will take it past 10m soon, so don't fret.

It's incredible to think about it. The Famine was 174 years ago and the population of Ireland still hasn't recovered from it.
