@AHiley88626 @ModernNavy @CityAM George Osbourne as referenced in the tweet was the former Conservative Chancellor. The Tories gutted defence for the country under austerity, Labour has committed to spending more, these things take time.

@ModernNavy @CityAM getting this treasonous Government out is crucial

Russia’s defence spend as a share of GDP far outpaced the UK, and since its invasion of Crimea in 2014, the US too. In total spend, Russia has been beating the UK on defence ever since George Osborne's austerity measures that hit the military hard @CityAM cityam.com/charts-uk-defe…

@autisticarab @Opereth Why are you in S mode? Typically S mode is only installed on the lowest specification devices that don't have much storage or processing power for the full version of Windows.

@Opereth You can't run any non Microsoft store executables in S mode.

FUCK YOU

@jamelliog @reformparty_uk Taxation is much higher now than it was when you were paying tax, a large part of that is due to the cost of the triple lock. The state pension is the majority of all benefits and welfare spending in the budget, by a large margin. Increasing pension above wages is unsustainable.

@reformparty_uk The community note on this is bollocks. I have PAID IN to the system by way of my extortionate taxes.

Reform UK will stand up for those who have paid in by keeping the triple lock for state pensioners. ✅

Before I was an MP, I worked on the current series of polymer banknotes at the Bank of England. So I know how decisions about our currency are made, and why they matter. Nigel Farage clearly doesn’t. What he conveniently ignores is that central banks regularly issue new banknote series. It’s how they stay ahead of counterfeiters and keep our currency secure. It’s technical. It’s essential. And it’s completely routine. So why is he manufacturing outrage? Because Farage and Reform UK have spent months attacking the Bank of England itself. They’ve demanded the Bank halt quantitative tightening. 💷 They’ve pushed to stop interest being paid on central bank reserves, which would completely destroy monetary policy transmission. ⚠️ And Farage has even suggested replacing the Governor with someone aligned to his agenda. Let’s be clear: Politicians leaning on central banks is how you spook markets and undermine confidence in the economy. Bank of England independence, brought in by the last Labour government, exists for a reason. To keep markets and household finances stable. I back the Bank to keep our currency secure, not to be dragged into political point-scoring. So if Farage spent half as much time understanding how the Bank works as he does attacking it, we’d hear a lot less of this nonsense. ❌

@PRO_boszcz2137 @NoJusticeMTG Doesnt account for disenfranchised voters fairly.

@NoJusticeMTG It should be based on votes cast last election lol

drawing constituency boundaries based on voter registration rather than actual population was stupid anyway

@RealRonRichards @SEIA Jee, I wonder why SOLAR energy wouldn't work without the SUN ... real head scratcher that one.

@SEIA Please show the ENTIRE 24-hour period without covering the graph with the legend. Somebody might think you're trying to mislead the readers. Am I reading the graph correctly? Solar provided 0% of total demand between midnight and 7am?

Last week, Texas just reached a new record for solar energy output, with the sun providing 60% of total demand... during February.

@GaryDemps @ko_bulawayo2 @Ipsos_in_the_UK Seems like theyre more about putting their car parking first. x.com/i/status/20178…

@ko_bulawayo2 @LouisWellesley @Ipsos_in_the_UK You live in hope. God knows why. They actually are about putting this country first

NEW headline voting intention from Ipsos 📊Reform UK +8-point lead over Labour – down from +15 in Nov 2025 📊The Green’s vote share of 12% is down from 15% in Nov 2025 📊Both Labour and Conservatives up from Nov 2025 – Labour +4, Conservatives +3

@GaryDemps @Ipsos_in_the_UK This tweet shows Reform going from a 15 point lead to an 8 point lead LOL

@Ipsos_in_the_UK Reform are still smashing it! They will only increase as the shitshow pans out. Starmer is a clown, on his clown car, with the wheels slowly falling off.

@KingsApril1 @PolitlcsUK Ok

@PolitlcsUK This highlights a core democratic truth: political disputes are best settled by facts, debate, and voters, not the police.

🚨 UPDATE: Greater Manchester Police will not investigate Reform UK’s report about Labour’s “misleading” video about Matt Goodwin “We can confirm we have received a report and after assessment, informed the complainant there is no offence identified”

@RedWallPleb @mattfletcher909 @PolitlcsUK I think you're misunderstanding. Create larger police authorities for serious crimes, should have more resources and more consistent handling of these cases. Delegate local policing to smaller local forces who have a better idea of their local area for the lesser crimes. L

@LouisWellesley @mattfletcher909 @PolitlcsUK If you genuinely believe that cutting police forces from 43 to 12 will create better local policing, then I just can't help you. Go away and stop wasting both our time.

🚨 SUMMARY: The Government's reforms to policing - Facial recognition technology will be rolled out across England and Wales from next year - The 43 police forces will be cut to around 12 "mega forces" who will only focus on major crime - "Local Policing Areas" will be included in these forces in each town, city or borough who will focus only on local crime, such as shoplifting or anti-social behaviour - A British FBI will be established, called the National Police Service, to bring together national policing functions to tackle fraud, terrorism and organised crime, with Regional Crime Hubs built into its structure - All police officers must hold a "Licence to Practice" to remain in the force to ensure they're trained to tackle emerging crimes, with those who fail removed from duty - Police will be required to reach serious incidents within 15 minutes in cities and 20 minutes in rural areas, and answer 999 calls within 10 seconds - A National Public Order Commander will be appointed in the NPS to coordinate responses to riots - A new national centre called "Police AI" will roll out AI across all police forces from April to cut bureaucracy and speed up investigations - A new national forensics service will be created to end "postcode lotteries" in forensic capability - Non-crime hate incidents will be abolished and replaced with a new framework so police spend less time "policing" tweets - Police governance will transfer to directly elected mayors or Policing and Crime Boards made up of council leaders

@RedWallPleb @mattfletcher909 @PolitlcsUK Wrong. Lookup "Neighbourhood Policing". They are very effective at bridging the gap between disadvantaged communities where crime is high and the police force.

@mattfletcher909 @PolitlcsUK "Local Policing Areas" are just made up bollocks... they're basically going to give the neighbourhood watch more snooping powers and fuck all will happen. Jesus Christ, you can't be this fucking gullible?

@bulkeley_john @RoyalNavy @hms_mersey @hmssevern @815NAS Ok

@RoyalNavy @hms_mersey @hmssevern @815NAS x.com/NavyLookout/st… Or you could have sent a frigate. Oh, that's right, now you're down to only 6. Soon all you'll have left to do much of anything will be these River class OPVs. This is making the Royal Navy look really, really, bad.

@paulhoffman007 @Sam_Dumitriu @Fox_Claire Traditional county system (i.e. historic counties) have been long superseded by governing counties.

This is all part of the destruction of ENGLAND. The county councils being merged is another part. They are getting rid of the traditional shires and county structure. Parish councils and therefore direct rule from the local people is being eliminated. Police accountability is being denied with this type of systemic change

Merging police forces strikes me as a bad idea. Let me explain why. I once attended a two-day workshop on the work of Nobel Prize winning economist Elinor Ostrom. We read maybe 7-8 papers by her. One of the papers we read looked at police forces and whether the theoretical benefits of consolidation (economies of scale) were found in practice. Big organisations have a unique ability to add layers of crud and bureaucracy. Economies of scale are often undermined by new layers of process and approval. But there’s also reasons to think that centralisation creates new problems. First, policing relies on local knowledge, but consolidation typically means decision-making shifts away from people who know their beat best. Second, there’s less responsiveness and accountability. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the Met seems to have the biggest problems with misconduct. And the problem isn’t just abuse, it’s also the risk that local priorities are ignored. Think about bike theft. The best response to it in the capital came from the City of London police not the Met. I don’t have the full details of the Govt’s plans (and maybe plans for “local police areas” focused on ‘everyday crimes’) will square the circle. But one of history’s finest economists suggests there are reasons to be sceptical.

@seasalt117 @PolitlcsUK Theyre not. Theyre merging police authorities for structural changes, number of officers unaffected.

@PolitlcsUK How strange labour is reducing our police force.

🚨 SUMMARY: The major policing reforms set to be outlined by the Home Secretary next week: - The number of police forces in England and Wales will be cut from 43 to around 12 "mega forces" from 2034 - These forces would focus only on serious and organised crime, major incidents and complex cases such as murder and drug offences - Everyday crimes like shoplifting, phone theft and street-level drug dealing would be handled by new "Local Policing Areas" in every borough, town and city, with a renewed focus on neighbourhood policing

He wants me to yield on my position, and I'm not going to do so"

@PolitlcsUK Why didnt you mention the huge sums of money involved (380k pa)?
