All taxi drivers working in England should be capable of speaking fluent English. There is nothing controversial about stating this.

Hiring a minimum wage worker for a 10-hour pub shift costs £150. At 10% profit (and that's charitable) on a £6 pint, you make 60p profit per pint. You need to sell 250 pints (or 25/hr) just for the pub's profit to match what the worker earns. Lamb at Leadenhall? No issue. Rural pub in Devon? Zero chance of employment.

The PM listed 5 things they'll do to "protect the cost of living". Most just reiteratedexisting situation, the new thing, as expected was £53m to help vulnerable with home heating oil costs. We'll starting digging into that ASAP. Will update here when I know more.

Rayner - accidentally avoided £40k in tax, repaid the money, had to resign. Tice - deliberately avoided £600k in tax, hasn’t repaid anything. 15x the money, infinitely more immoral. He’ll resign as an MP, right? He can just be a shadow MP going forward.

A big thank you to Quincy for stepping in and MCing my gig at The Local Comedy Club gig at Rayleigh last night. I am currently still going through the wars as I’ve had a violent cough that has also done my lower back in. Standing for any length of time is problematic and each cough is like a sledgehammer to my lower spine. It’s now bizarrely hurting my thighs too, probably some sort of referred pain. Until the cough stops, I can’t see any hope that I can sort my back out so it’s a waiting game now. Anti biotics and steroids finished and it’s still here. Once again big thanks to @QuincyComedian. 👍👍👍👍

It’s hardly my job to defend @TiceRichard. But there is nothing wrong with legal tax avoidance. Legal tax avoidance is what you do when you buy an ISA. If you dislike the specific arrangements he had, change the rules. But don’t complain that he was following existing rules.

I just had a visit from the police. I'll be interviewed under caution tomorrow morning on suspicion of malicious communication. They wouldn't tell me what communication they believe is malicious, of course. Since I haven't communicated maliciously, I'll assume it's something cooked up by the genuinely malicious people who hate people expressing their lawfully protected views.

I’m certainly no fan of Sir Kier but this is very distasteful and should be taken down. Any suggestion of violence towards MP’s is disgraceful. And some of you think Clarkson is fit to be an MP. He is not and never will be.

Sir Keir Starmer will tomorrow be forced to disclose what he knew about Lord Mandelson's friendship with the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein before he appointed him as US ambassador As per @SamCoatesSky the government will publish hundreds of documents relating to Mandelson's time as ambassador tomorrow afternoon It is the first tranche of tens of thousands of files, representing the biggest disclosure of confidential government information since the Covid inquiry The initial disclosure is expected to include the two-page Cabinet Office due diligence report which Starmer was given before he pushed through Mandelson's appointment. It will raise questions abuot Starmer's judgement The report, which is said to be two pages long, is thought to include a Financial Times article from 2023 which highlighted both the nature and the extent of the relationship between the pair It revealed details of an internal JPMorgan report from 2019 which found that: “Jeffrey Epstein appears to maintain a particularly close relationship with Prince Andrew the Duke of York and Lord Peter Mandelson, a senior member of the British government.” The article from @PickardJE suggested that Mandelson stayed at Epstein’s townhouse in Manhattan in June 2009, while the financier was in prison. It also included links to photographs of Mandelson and Epstein together It will also detail potential conflicts of interest involving the lobbying company Mandelson founded and details of Mandelson's previous resignations from government A source familiar with the Cabinet Office’s report described it as a “two-page word doc that has been cut and pasted from Google” They questioned why it was the only vetting that was conducted before Starmer announced the appointment. “It’s insane,” they said.

Mad Ed claims not using our own gas is “saving the planet.” we’re importing it and emitting up to 4× more carbon than UK produced gas, due to liquefaction, shipping, and regasification. I’d call it dangerous misinformation ⚠️
