@Britains___Pubs @LondonPubMap I don't get it, what's wrong with this pub? I know it, is decent.

@LondonPubMap You don't know what a pus is. Let alone have the right to question those who do.

Slagging off pubs in this climate when the pub trade is struggling as it is isn’t great. Pubs have had to adapt to changes in trends and the local community to survive. I wish we could all wind the clock back to good old days but they need as much support as we can.

@Ghost14377 @Steven_Swinford @AVMikhailova He died? Who was he?

@Steven_Swinford @AVMikhailova I wonder if other women would wave that right with the accused now passed away

The Labour MP Charlotte Nichols tells @AVMikhailova about her rape trial ordeal, and why she decided to waive her right to anonymity: It was more than a year after going to the police that Charlotte Nichols was asked to come into the station to look at photographs of her naked unconscious body. The officers on her case had initially told her that she would not need to, as she was “very clearly” identifiable in them and they did not want to cause her unnecessary hurt. But the Crown Prosecution Service said it was necessary as part of the charging process. And it was during the rape trial that followed that the MP found out that those photographs had been sent to 70 men. Even two years on from the trial, the existence of the photos, taken by the footballer she alleged raped her, continues to haunt her. “One of the things I found very difficult afterwards is, I don’t know who those 70 men are,” she says. During the trial, the man Nichols accused of raping her did not deny taking the pictures or sharing them, both without her consent His defence was that he was just “being a lad” and that he had not intended to cause her distress. He said he regretted sending pictures of Nichols’ naked breasts to his fellow football players and asking, “Anyone want a go?” The defence worked. A jury acquitted him both on the count of rape and over the sharing the images without consent. He had denied raping her, saying they had consensual sex three times and bit each other during intercourse, and in his evidence said they parted on good terms. Now when Nichols, 34, walks about her constituency meeting voters, occasionally the corrosive thought of “I wonder if they’ve seen it” creeps in. She also worries about them being posted on X or that one day “someone’s going to post them on some blog site hosted abroad […] and there’ll be nothing I can do about it”. thetimes.com/life-style/cel…

@procurementfile Why are they paid at all?

Barnet Council paid £31million to nurseries in ‘24/5.* According to Ofsted, a number of these nurseries are registered as ‘Closed’. This needs clarification; were any payments made after they had closed? ‘Play and Learn Day Nursery’ was paid £251k over 54 transactions. 🧵1/5

@zhappeningnow @PatrickT1023 @BattleByrd @Raindropsmedia1 @RileyRooTwo How is it still in gear? Was back wheel spinning the whole time then?

@PatrickT1023 @BattleByrd @Raindropsmedia1 @RileyRooTwo Have you tried picking up a bike in in gear off the ground?

“Reacher” star Alan Ritchson was captured on video allegedly beating his neighbor in Tennessee.

@YorkshiremanDan English are too smart to pay crazy rates to let a shop.

She genuinely doesn't see the problem. There's being thick and then there's this. Foreigners prefer to buy from their own people and they don't want what we do. They will often get things elsewhere. As the English are replaced in many areas, who is going to buy from the English owned shops? The shops eventually have to shut down and then a group of foreign people will take over and gradually take the whole area. Has happened here in my hometown in multiple areas. There's massive stores that have closed in my town centre such as M&S that are now somehow operated by foreign people selling pure tat, with the outside of the shop looking like downtown Baghdad. How can they afford such a premises in the centre of the town? Something to be looking into I think. But sure, it's just jealousy and a poor work ethic. Twat.

@firearmsWMP @BTPFirearmsUnit I noticed you deleted the picture of the knife from your tweet, so in case anyone is interested:

Some may have seen shocking footage yesterday of a disorder involving large knives in Victoria Square. In the interest of public safety @firearmsWMP deployed within 60 secs along with our @BTPFirearmsUnit colleagues. 4 arrested following a foot chase and more will follow! GN

@RobertGrahamBEM @talkingcockatoo @LeftwaffenWatch Longer leads.

@talkingcockatoo @LeftwaffenWatch Any tips for residents in these blocks please .... 🤔

Don’t buy an EV if don’t have a driveway and definitely don’t do this!

@jdanjohnson @raechellambert "delay"? So you paid it in the end?

Honestly, I appreciate @raechellambert saying publicly what I wasn’t willing to —parts of the Miami tech scene have been messy for a long time, and the fallout usually lands on the organizers and builders who are actually trying to do things right. When our partners didn’t pay up for @MiamiHackWeek, I called and texted everyone I could trying to cover the gap, and no one stepped in to help the nonprofit. That doesn’t change the fact that the delay happened, and I take responsibility for my part in it.

@ramit What an obnoxious prick.

Another reason I love luxury hotels: I can create magical experiences for the people with me My wife and I asked my mom & aunt to join us in Rajasthan, India, for a tiger safari. One day, I spoke to the chef about creating a special dinner. I wanted specific dishes from where my mom & aunt were raised, plus my wife's favorite Indian dish. And I wanted them to be totally surprised with the beauty of the night The chef loved the idea. He helped me shape the menu and the event...watch the video. I will never forget this (Oberoi Ranthambore)

Luxury hotel pricing is utterly bewildering if you aren't the target market I recently spent ~$2,400 for 5 days at a Japanese property. Breakfast included $150 property credit, etc That wouldn't cover a single day at a luxury hotel that I usually stay at (e.g., Aman, Oberoi, Rosewood) What could make a hotel worth that much?

@brumbitcoin @SANB13573113 How many years of work to get that?

@SANB13573113 Grok it. "NHS receptionist can expect a £50k+ inflation-linked pension plus lump-sum and death-benefit perks thanks to the generous CARE revaluation and employer contributions. To buy exactly the same package privately you would need to accumulate £1.2–£1.7 million."

To save a private pension equivalent to that of an NHS receptionist, you'd need a pot of about £1.5 MILLION. This is: outrageous, unjust & completely unaffordable. Taxation is theft.

@AlmostFLNative @Schwarzenegger You mean the Ahhnold accent?

@Schwarzenegger Anybody else automatically read this with the Arnold accent?

I will ask the team to find some studies for the newsletter. But I can tell you from experience: it doesn’t work. When I was winning powerlifting contests and bodybuilding contests, we had max days, but we earned them with a lot of normal work days in between,

@errjustsaying @rayaddisonlive Doctors aren't interested in fixing the system.

@rayaddisonlive I never understand why 24/7 GP units are not attached to A&E to see the earaches, sore throats, etc! Is it something to do with the GP contract system?

Hellish day in A&E. The doctors and nurses are working flat out but the constant stream of patients is just too much. When I was a kid if you went to A&E you saw people with broken arms and bloody eye patches, things cut off or sticking out of their head. Today it was just people who couldn't get a GP appointment. Why do we not have enough doctor's surgeries in this country? Is it financially unviable to run one, too expensive to become a GP, or no longer a sought after career? What the hell is going on?

@RGuy999 @tuitieme @xAviation Nothing gets past you eh.

@tuitieme @xAviation He didn’t. It was added. You can see how the old number was covered up

This guy has a genuine surplus SR-71 Rudder buried in his front yard as his house number sign. It's placed in hundreds of pounds of cement to prevent it being stolen.

@redrumlisa The builder should've saved more for his own pension than the state minimum.

LSE Professor earning over 100k a year will have a very good pension pot - I worked at the LSE their Professors never leave the Academic/Political bubble & I mean never. Thinks a 70 year old man in Stoke on Trent who has worked on a building site since he was 16 shouldn't have £12,500 a year to live on.

@romerley @sirwg202110 Because they're helping other people.

@sirwg202110 Why aren’t they arrested?

🚨 Morons from the group Take Back Power are now shoplifting en masse — but it’s “activism” in Britain 2026…

@ClaireWard4EM Nobody needs heating oil in this day and age. I'm glad they're being priced out of polluting us. They might get solar panels now.

And it's not just drivers being battered with price rises. Thousands of my constituents rely on oil heating. They too are seeing rapid and unjustified rises to their costs. It's time to hold this industry to account.

@zatzi Free if you've a Blue Badge for your car, which anyone can get nowadays by faking mental health issues.

£31 for “a moment to reflect” seems rather pricey. Growing up in Westminster, on rainy days I used to play in these cloisters for free, make brass rubbings of the wonderful inscriptions (the shop sold the wax crayons to do so, it was encouraged not illicit) and absorb the historic and peaceful atmosphere. Now a child’s ticket costs £14 and brass rubbings are banned. The Church of England seems to be happier being a money making museum than a cornerstone of our cultural and religious heritage. And with prices that high, no wonder they have to advertise for people to go.

@FinkyDidIt @JacintaAllanMP Wait, it's already public info? So what is she actually proposing?

@JacintaAllanMP When a property is under contract, the price cannot be disclosed until after is closes. After closing it becomes public record that anyone can look up.

We're changing the law and making it mandatory for real estate agents to disclose the sold price of homes.

@hewantswealth A small £10 a day surcharge on keeping an SUV in London would actually save a lot of lives.

Did anyone else notice how they didn’t give ANY stats on the number of child deaths caused from SUV drivers? This is a made-up tax because the TFL are broke and need money. The roads are all 20mph, there’s ZERO safety concern. On top of that, we already pay £12.50 ULEZ fee and £18 congestion charge. And now another tax? Meanwhile, Sadiq is chauffeured around in a taxpayer-funded armoured Range Rover, one of the biggest SUV’s of them all. Rules for thee, not for he!

@shawngorham @texasrunnerDFW Possibly just her diet/weight then. My wife was a fainter for years, she then switched from being a vegetarian and put on some weight, hasn't had fainting spells for a decade-plus. Good luck!

@texasrunnerDFW she is 110#, Dr said she has no stored calories and not enough muscle to store fluid and has to be eating more and constantly drinking water - her BP was 80 when the paramedic arrived

Since I post most my life online... wins and struggles This morning we got up to go to church I was in the kitchen drinking my morning glass of water. My wife yelled, I need water. So I started filling her a glass Then she screamed, everything is black, I cant see I sprinted to the room, right as I entered she fainted blackout. I caught her. Her body went limp, her eyes rolled back, her mouth opened and life flashed before my eyes. Its a picture I never want to re-live I sprinted for my phone to call 911 when I came back into the room she was awake, but limp. I held her, I prayed over her We landed in the ER for the next 7 hours While we were there a "code white" eta 5 minutes came across the speakers, I watched nurses scrambling. I googled code white - child with life threatening Within 5 minutes I heard the screams of a mother I never want to hear again. Whaling and Weeping. I was supposed to be at church, hands high singing praises to a God for everything good in my life. Now I am in the ER asking God to give me the same strength to sing the same praises Thats when faith becomes real So what happened? We dont know. All tests and blood work came back clear They did give her 2L of liquids and she still hasn't urinated - so possible severe dehydration Her body hasn't recovered from our car accident, she hasn't felt good, low appetite We think it just all caught up with her. Now we battle the fear of it happening again. She doesnt want to be alone, I dont want to leave her. If you are the praying type, pray for us. Pray for a family who lost a child today in the ER Much Love, Shawn
