I find that everything is being repeated from politicians lies & corruption and Dad's Army on BBC. My tweets don't necessarily express my views.

Brighton pro-Pals ‘acted’ out an IDF soldier guarding Palestinian prisoners today. They had to write “Israeli soldier” on the guy who played one because this is definitely more like Dad’s Army.

If, like me, you were born in 1956, you’ll receive almost £300,000 more in benefits than you’ll pay in taxes in your lifetime State Pensions make up a huge chunk of that Long term, we simply can’t afford to sustain the Triple Lock’s generosity Blog: desmondswaynemp.com/ds-blog/1956/?…

@KeruboSk Possibly the opposite! Massive debt and a qualification that won't get you a job. All this while your mates too thick to go to university are raking in the money as electricians, plumbers, etc.

In my Mansion House speech, I made clear: the Strait of Hormuz must be fully reopened, without restrictions or tolls. The blocking of this vital waterway is hitting trade around the world and prices here at home. Freedom of navigation means navigation must be free.

🚨 Mandelson to be fined £300 for urinating against a wall Kensington and Chelsea Council plans to hand him a fixed penalty notice after he relieved himself in public last year. It appears that leaking piss is a more serious offence than leaking sensitive documents in modern Britain. Who hired this revolting man to be British Ambassador to the US? Two-tier Keir.

Should there be a maximum limit on rent? Zack Polanski launched his party's local election campaign yesterday and took aim at the government's record on affordable housing, calling for rent controls. Should there be a limit on the amount landlords can charge renters?

'It's so utterly ridiculous.' Independent MP Rosie Duffield says she doesn't know 'whether to laugh or cry' after GB News revealed Sir Keir Starmer's new digital identity cards will not state whether the holder is male or female.

@triffic_stuff_ While that may be true in the short term, prices were already spiralling out of control before the war. Still it's better than a nuclear weapon delivered on London by an Iranian intercontinental ballistic missile.

🚨STARMER BLASTS TRUMP: IT’S TRUMP’S FAULT UK FAMILIES HAVE SKY HIGH ENERGY BILLS! 😳 Prime Minister Points Finger Directly At Us President For Punishing British Households With Wild And Soaring Price Swings Whoa! Keir Starmer has taken the gloves off completely and is now openly blaming President Donald Trump, alongside Putin, for the sky-high and fluctuating energy bills hammering UK families and businesses. Speaking during his Gulf visit as oil prices surged above $110 a barrel amid escalating Middle East tensions and Trump’s strong rhetoric, the Prime Minister unleashed his frustration at global leaders he claims are causing the chaos. “I’m fed up with the fact that families across the country see their bills go up and down on energy, businesses bills go up and down on energy because of the actions of Putin or Trump across the world,” Starmer declared. This provocative swipe escalates transatlantic tensions, but critics are pointing to Starmer’s net zero obsession, refusal to allow new North Sea drilling, and heavy green taxes have left Britain dangerously reliant on volatile imports, making UK energy prices among the highest in the world regardless of international events.

@GrumpyPete @6117CH @miriam_cates Unsustainable means it cannot carry on indefinitely without reform. Any reform should be based on income not assets or savings. I’ll soon be of state pension age, I do not have a personal private pension, auto enrolment started in 2012 so not sure how much that’s worth.

“Reform’s commitment to keep the triple lock is the final nail in the coffin for the hope of pension reform from the Right. Britain’s young people are now condemned to pay through the nose for the retirement of the wealthiest generation in history.” ✍️👇 conservativehome.com/2026/04/08/mir…
