He says he won't serve Reform supporters in Wetherspoons. Does he not know who pays his wages?

@SeddSezz Happening to all businesses.The high operating costs of increased NI, NMW, higher taxes / rates & the highest electric costs in the world. Customers have less money to spend due to COL. We now spend more on people not working than we take from those who do

This queer Keir Labour gov is untenable. Both small family (including farms / crufts), medium and large scale businesses are all suffering under highest taxes, highest energy and imbecilic labour regulations. Time to remove this asinine Starmer, Miliband & Reeves. Jobs are being sacrificed for their ideological wants.

🚨Two UK pub chains axed along with 3,500 jobs amid rising taxes Whitbread, which owns both Beefeater and Brewers Fayre, plans to close all 197 of its restaurant sites. CEO Dominic Paul said the decision followed “significant cost increases”, which includes higher employer National Insurance contributions and business rates. Reeves' relentless pursuit of businesses' money is ruining our economy! Rachel Reeves is decimating business and jobs.

Sturgeon turned the Nation into a land of #hatred - if you want to put it to the test - say ANYTHING that’s true which @theSNP support disagrees with - sit back and wait. The abuse, bullying, threats and insults are off the scale. What’s nice place the #SNP have turned #Scotland into.

🚨Holyrood bubble 2026👉An employer of hundreds of thousands of people who has paid £45 MILLION in tax is the bad guy? A posh uni drop out career politician with extremist views including being on the side of Male Murderers in women's prisons is portrayed as the good guy. 🤡 Show!

This is blatant political discrimination. Refusing service simply for supporting Reform UK. Wetherspoon must sack this manager immediately. Pubs are for paying customers, not political gatekeepers. #FarLeftExtremist

Tony Blair has urged scrapping the ‘unaffordable’ pensions triple lock that protects millions of pensioners, his own think tank claims the system is outdated and too rigid for modern life with costs exploding by £85 billion a year by 2070, the former PM’s report demands it ends after the next election and be replaced by a new ‘lifespan fund’ that forces people to build their own entitlement through work, Blair’s director Tom Smith said Britain’s state pension was built for a different era and we can’t keep pouring money into a system that is increasingly unaffordable, pensioners facing rising bills are now told to accept less while the multi-millionaire ex-leader lectures them on restraint, Thoughts?

You’d think that even when the police successfully detain a suspect who was alleged to have been conducting a marauding knife attack, the professional activists would have a day off. But you'd be wrong, says Paul Birch. dailysceptic.org/2026/05/01/the…

The King has secured an agreement from the US president to remove tariffs on Scotch whisky. John Swinney is trying to claim credit👇. Why are the SNP so dishonest?

The World's largest Wind Turbine 26MW. In its lifetime it will produce the same energy as burning 750,000 tons of coal. That's 44,118 truck loads. And that's just 1 Wind Turbine.

The Rational Animal 🤔
The Rational Animal 🤔@theobjectivist·
No one should be surprised but what he left out is that this turbine costs an estimated $50-80 million to build and install. It only produces power 35-45% of the time because wind is intermittent. Its output degrades 12-16% over its 20-25 year lifespan. It requires hundreds of tons of steel, concrete, fiberglass, and rare earth minerals mined largely in China (his favorite country). The other 55-65% of the time you need backup power, which comes from natural gas. And it exists only because of massive government subsidies. A natural gas plant of the same 26MW capacity costs $26-39 million, produces more than double the effective output, runs on demand 24 hours a day regardless of weather, and lasts 30-40 years. Half the price. Double the output. No weather dependency. No subsidies required. But this was never about the environment. If it were, you would care that rare earth mining for wind turbines devastates landscapes across China and Africa, that thousands of birds and bats are killed annually by turbine blades, that the blades themselves are non-recyclable fiberglass rotting in landfills, and that natural gas produces half the emissions of coal with none of these problems. You ignore all of this because environmentalism was never your goal. It is your vehicle. The destination is what it has always been: government control of energy production, which means government control of the economy, which is socialism. Rand identified this decades ago. The green movement is not a scientific movement. It is a political one, and its target is not pollution. It is capitalism.

Labour's Renters Rights Act championed by Angela Rayner has now kicked in, triggering a mass exodus of landlords who are selling up in droves and booting tenants out before the new rules fully bite, almost half of more than 1,000 landlords surveyed said they will stop renting entirely once the legislation takes full effect, the brainchild of Deputy PM Rayner scraps no-fault evictions, limits rent rises to once a year and forces landlords to accept benefit tenants or risk prosecution, this has sparked a surge in evictions with tenants given notice so properties can be sold off, middle-income landlords now face bankruptcy risks from longer arrears periods while the rental market shrinks fast, critics say Rayner’s heavy-handed reforms are making the housing crisis far worse by driving supply down and rents up, ordinary families are left scrambling for fewer homes as the very people who provide rentals are chased out, Another far left failure

@Biohazardboy2 @IainCathro @theSNP Our biggest problem is that the SNP can put up monkeys for election and enough are foolish enough to vote for them, the other issue is the list system that allows rejected candidates to take a seat from the regional list, we are basically caught in a trap.
