@TheIndyPoet In fact, I would say there’s no such thing as a good King. By definition unelected, unrepresentative and archaic

Another waste of space.

@RupertLowe10 Protecting the wealthy. The Right always pretends to be of the people while working for the elites

A Restore Britain Government would immediately reverse Labour's cruel VAT raid on private schools. It is leading to school closures, job losses and more pupils being forced into state schools that simply cannot cope with the additional demand - everyone then suffers, obviously. With so many students now being lumped into state schools that are already struggling, what's the result for children in those institutions? Less teacher time and stretched resources. Worse outcomes. We're told the funds raised are being used to 'support public services'. Total bollocks and we all know it. The staggering lack of any logic from this Government is so painful. Labour's private school VAT raid is really nasty politics. Restore Britain would reverse it.

@WeLeftTheEUSSR He has conceded every Iranian demand. He has left a situation immeasurably worse than before Gypsies cost of living in the months to come will illustrate this). Now he’s washing his hands like Pilate and claiming victory. Master stroke!

Trump just pulled off one of the greatest negotiation moves of all time, and the result should be unanimously celebrated, regardless of what side of the aisle you are on.

@ukreloaded No it doesn’t, but - if you are not - how can you consider a vote for a party that clearly is.

@afneil Much here surely depends on the sector. You have to take a view on the critical nature of the business and how robust the market will be if left in the private sector. If you have to appoint regulators to set prices etc I would say the case for public ownership is strong

Well, nationalisation in the past has worked brilliantly for UK railways, steel, shipbuilding, coal, electricity, road haulage, telecoms, airlines etc etc. They were all global leaders at the cutting edge of technology and development. The world beat a path to our door to learn how to do it. 🤣

@Neccccy Yes

Abolish the Monarchy NOW? Agree? Yes or No?

@NoKingCharlie Yes

@RealPeteBennett Let’s just scrap the monarchy, give the Church the same status as any other religious superstition and let the country finally complete the transition to adulthood

If you want the UK to stay Christian who will you be voting for?

@andie1105 @RoyalFamily Don’t put off till tomorrow what you can do today. It’s an ugly, institution regardless of who is the lead parasite

I’m no longer a supporter of @RoyalFamily The king is a traitor to this country! Unless William and Catherine take over very, very soon, I would support the abolition of the monarchy

@phughes76340646 I don’t anyone to be King, Queen, Emporer or other Great Grand Poobah. We deserve a head of state elected by the people; their servant not their Lord. One they can remove from office should he prove lazy, corrupt, incompetent or just an embarrassment

Do you want William to be king now before his father does anymore damage to the monarchy

@Neccccy Yes

End the monarchy now ? Agree?

@GSGB01 No we should scrap the entire obscene institution. It is a vestigial remnant of our feudal past. While we’re on the subject he should hand back the vast tracts of land, property and baubles stolen from the people by generations of parasites. #NotmyKing

🚨BREAKING: British citizens are calling upon King Charles to ABDICATE amid huge backlash following the announcement that he will not be giving an Easter message this year. Should Charles hand over the throne?

@rj_abel By ‘win’ you mean garner something between 30 and 40% of the vote. The majority therefore disagreed. Until we fix our broken system our Government won’t represent the will of the people.

Reform wins… and still gets blocked? Drakeford says Labour, Plaid, and the Greens would join forces to shut them out. Is that democracy working? It’s like a football team finishing first, but the others team up after the final whistle to stop them getting the trophy.

@DaleVince @andrew_rawling So what are the arguments against Dale. Seems to me to be eminently sensible. What justification have successive governments given?

History is repeating itself. Here comes another fossil fuel energy crisis and we still have an energy market where the price of the green energy we make here in Britain is tied to the global price for gas. I’ve called on successive governments to break this absurd link, to no avail. We have the means to nail our energy bills to the floor and keep them there, and reap massive economic benefits to doing so, through lower inflation and lending rates. The current fee for all in wholesale energy creates windfall profits for oil companies at great expense to the rest of us and the country we live in. mirror.co.uk/money/no-10-ur…

@AskBritain_ Not if he were the only candidate

Would you vote Nigel Farage if a general election were held tomorrow?

@DavidColby10 @NewStatesman @Will___lloyd By definition a country with a non elected head of state is not a democracy

@NewStatesman @Will___lloyd Hogwash. Name one constitutional Monarchy that isn’t a democracy. There isn’t one. The uk ranks as one of the least racist, least homophobic, least sexist countries in the world. It doesn’t have an all-white, all-Christian government (like the EU does for example).

THE CRUMBLING CROWN BY @Will___lloyd How the Windsors betrayed Britain Let’s follow the line pumped out like water from a holed schooner by Buckingham Palace and its hard-working proxies for a moment. After the arrest, His Majesty the King put out a rare statement written in the first person on 19 February. He asked that the law be allowed to take its course. The King had already promised to cooperate with the police. Charles had “felt powerfully about this issue in his in-tray”, a friend told the Sunday Times, forcing us to imagine the aging King staring hard and feeling “powerfully” at pieces of paper marked “ANDREW” since 2023. This, the Windsorists wittered in print and across the airwaves, was the screeching sound of a line being drawn under the matter. Radioactive Andrew would be placed in a lead-lined box. Can our legal system cope with the trial of Windsor, should it come to that? At first sight that sounds like a hysterical question. Even a year ago most of us would have laughed at it. But can you have a fair trial of the King’s brother in the King’s Court, overseen by a judge who has sworn a personal oath to that same King, sitting under the King’s royal coat of arms? The mind boggles. It’s not just judges. Magistrates and KCs, soldiers and MPs and the police, privy counsellors, bishops, archbishops: they swear their allegiance to the Crown, not to you. And you can only understand the Andrew story in all its proportions when you know that to cause potential embarrassment to the firm – to ask the wrong questions, to speak out, to raise tedious little concerns – was not a way to open up one’s professional horizons within our multitudinous oath-taking bureaucracies. Windsorists are yet to comprehend what a threat to William’s succession and the firm actually is, beyond a potential trial of Andrew. In January, the Times reported that Prince Harry had won his fight to regain armed police protection. The newspaper did not spell out the full implications for its readers. Harry can now return home to his ailing father and his unhappy country. Should he wish, he will be able to set up a rival court in the land. The House of Windsor and the House of Sussex will be forced to share our small island while the public watches on. A febrile scenario reminiscent of more unpleasant chapters of the medieval period, loaded with the potential for an all-out popularity war between the houses, with unknown consequences for the monarchy itself. What courtiers call “business as usual” will be at a premium. Design by Gregori Saavedra

@BladeoftheS Of course. What isn’t being said in the media is this: but for accident at birth this could have been our head of state - above the law and immovable.

Zack Polanski said the Green Party would be open to a Referendum on the Royal Family. Do you want a Referendum so we can vote to get rid of this monstrosity?

@ZackPolanski @pa_interiors Strange thing. I’m a lifelong Labour voter. How is it that I find myself pretty much in agreement with most of what this guy says. In contrast I find myself in disagreement, or at least, not supporting, practically everything Starmer and his acolytes are doing (or not doing)

Keir Starmer did everything he could to be US poodle and his strategy has ended in total humiliation. Both him and Farage are puppets of a hostile foreign nation. It's obvious that if someone is a bully - you don't just keep appeasing them. Disastrous strategy by Labour.

‘Households across Britain are paying a vast “privatisation premium” to access essential services. According to our estimates, the public have funded almost £200bn in dividends to the shareholders of the privatised water, energy and transport companies’ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Please repost if you agree that British TV News is betraying our democracy by giving Farage what looks like more coverage than all the other opposition parties combined.
