@lukejcr You are absolutely delusional! Labour are taxing working people and businesses to oblivion
Maybe it will take elections for you to realise how poor and out of touch Labour are with reality.

Reform pretend to be on the side of working people.
The reality?
They’re led by snobby millionaires who have no idea how much cost-of-living support matters to families.
They’re not on your side.
Labour is.
English
@lukejcr @Ed_Miliband Not strictly true as passed to general taxation so working people are still paying for it.
English
Back in 2013, @Ed_Miliband proposed an energy price cap.
David Cameron called it “Marxist.”
Today it kicks in, cutting £117 a year from bills, perfect timing given the conflict in Iran.
Turns out someone was right all along.
Cheers, Ed. ⚡

@TrisOsborneMP I really don’t understand why you have to add a right wing label to your comments and play political games. The electorate are finding this extremely tedious.
I don’t see how you are any different, or will add value.
English
@THR676 I mean the small matter of a right wing war that Kemi / Nigel wanted to engage offensively in.
We are in a stronger position to convene negotiations with this government.

Britain is leading from the front 🇬🇧

Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper will host a summit of international leaders to discuss plans to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, PM Keir Starmer announces It's in "the British national interest", he adds Follow live: bbc.in/4sJOIkB

@supertanskiii @MittensOff Not going to help with an energy crisis!
If you look at the data there is no evidence that it has led to a poorer economic outcome.
English
Significant from Starmer. In this conference he directly acknowledges the economic hell of Brexit and commits to a closer relationship with the EU.
Refusing to join the war, distancing Britain from the US and realigning with our EU friends, are all solid decisions.
Fair play.
English
@lukejcr Meanwhile Labour continue to increase taxes on working people and businesses pushing people to the limit.
They refuse to follow the lead of other nations, in cutting fuel duty, to help people during these exceptional times.
Demonstrates the true colours of this Labour Party!
English
SERIOUSLY? The hard Brexit Farage pushed for:
✈️ Hiked holiday prices
📱 Brought roaming charges BACK
💶 Will make us pay EU entry fees
They’re like a taxi driver taking the long route, then bragging about the fare.
No wonder Nige went to Clacton for Tourism Week. 🤷

@donmcgowan This just shows how ignorant you actually are. If you lack the intelligence to have a grown up debate then I suggest you do not participate!
English
Reform UK are mirroring, almost identically, Hitler and his Nazi party’s rise to power in depression era Germany, specifically the final three or four years leading up to Hitler becoming Chancellor.
There are far too many similarities for it to be a coincidence.

@paulmasonnews Absolutely ridiculous and stupid comment!
How are they responsible for government borrowing and the war with Iran?
English
Trump's war has triggered a spike in the cost of govt borrowing. UK getting hit hardest but look at the rest. 👇🏽 If it does not stop soon we will see inflation + recession. When that happens, thank Farage & Badenoch, who cheered him on
English
@DeborahMeaden How does that work when he does not have the right to reply at PMQ’s?
The whole spectacle is a farce and a waste of everyone’s time.
The electorate deserves better from our political system.
English
Never leave the room… stay and win it back.
Narinder Kaur@narindertweets
Farage explains why he walked out of PMQs "He started ranting and raving about Reform's councils across the country. In disgust, and against Parliamentary convention, I got up and I walked out" Absolute FANNY and behaviour of a Trump baby. Not a leader.
English
@MatthewStadlen PMQ’s is totally pointless unless the government are forced to answer the questions.
It is a farce for everyone concerned and an insult to the electorate!
English
All eight Reform MPs staging a walkout at Prime Ministers Questions today is peak snowflakery. Pathetic and embarrassing.
English
@campbellclaret Well it is a waste of time for all concerned!
It is also an insult to the electorate, that an elected government, is not forced to provide answers, on key questions and issues.
Not surprisingly people are totally disillusioned with politics and politicians.
English
He does love a good stunt doesn’t he ? Ooooo get me I led my little band of MPS out of the chamber (Ps to avoid being in there for a statement on Russian funding of Farage UK I suspect
Politics UK@PolitlcsUK
🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage asks Keir Starmer to admit his "Smash the Gangs" slogan has been an "abject failure" Starmer: "He promised lower tax and now Reform councils are hiking council tax by 9%" Farage and other Reform MPs then walk out the chamber #PMQs
English
@lukejcr Just focus on the day job. Comedy clearly not your strong point!
English
I see Question Time is in Clacton on Thursday.
Will the local MP turn up to to make an appearance or was the English Tourism Week visit his annual check-in?
English
@donmcgowan If the PM answered the question she wouldn’t have to ask it again.
Just a thought! It’s called PMQ’s for a reason.
English
Kemi Badenoch, woeful again at #PMQs.
One question about Madelson fine. Two, OK.
Six — this way madness lies.
Starmer dodged, granted, but after the third question he just started attacking — fair game.
Badenoch had an opportunity to ask about the cost of living, petrol prices or the meningitis outbreak — things that the public would like more information on.
She came across as obsessive and unwilling to pivot.
English
@lukejcr At least it isn’t another tax rise like this Labour Government!
English
Last week it was money off petrol.
This week it’s a prize draw on your energy bill.
What’s next week, win yourself a week away in Russia?

🚨 WATCH: Robert Jenrick launches a competition where Nigel Farage will pay for a year's worth of household energy bills for an entire street
English
@paulmasonnews Yet it continues to increase taxes on both working people and businesses.
Double standards!
English
Starmer: "I simply will not allow companies to make huge profits from the hardship of working people. This government was elected to stop that and we will"... that's #TrueLabour in action: price cap and the threat of windfall taxes
English
@ToryWipeout Because he hasn’t broken the law. It really is not that complicated!
English
Why aren't the national media demanding Richard Tice resign?
The establishment.
English
@TrisOsborneMP @John_Stepek @KathrynPorter26 @Conservatives So why don’t you accept? You should also take a basic economics tutorial to assist you with how the economy actually works.
It would probably assist the Chancellor as well!
English
English
Every KwH provided by renewables means less demand on gas.
Conflicts in the Middle East - that the right wing + @Conservatives backed offensively - are causing impact because prices are set internationally.
National Energy System Operator@neso_energy
On Thursday #wind generated 63.0% of GB electricity followed by gas 12.2%, nuclear 9.5%, imports 8.6%, biomass 4.6%, solar 2.0%, *excl. non-renewable distributed generation
English
Deception, plain and simple.
Won’t take a penny off bills and at the same time he’d turn away the tens of billions of investment in the energy transition that’s creating thousands of jobs right now.
Reform’s band of washed up Tories have no answers and zero credibility.
Robert Jenrick@RobertJenrick
It is economic lunacy to ignore our rich energy reserves. Reform will unapologetically drill in the North Sea for oil and gas. We’ll get bills down and bring back good jobs.
English
@ret_ward Get off your soap box it is getting really tedious!
As you well know the UK is only responsible for 1% of global emissions so we are an irrelevance.
English
And how do you intend to pay for the unlimited damage from climate change?
Nick Buckley MBE@NickBuckleyMBE
Middle class luxury beliefs are coming home to bite everyone on the bum. Net Zero was a huge con and the foolish and silly fell for it - which was most people!!

@MatthewStadlen @CamillaTominey You are a very average Labour spokesperson, who surprisingly gets airtime.

@CamillaTominey Camilla, you manage to combine holding some vile views with being a superb interviewer.
