@PeterTatchell Switzerland isn’t part of the EU. It’s part of Schengen which the UK wasn’t.

Another misery caused by Brexit voters Geneva airport: EU citizens queue for passport control empty. Brits queue for over an hour Brexit voters should have to pay a £5,000 tax surcharge for the misery they have inflicted on the rest of us: Higher prices, job & trade losses

@jonburkeUK Norway population less than that of London. Easy to save money when you don’t have 50m more people to look after. It’s just a rubbish comparison.

Right-wingers keep telling me we can’t be trusted with publicly-owned North Sea oil & gas because we’d ‘waste it on welfare’. Yet Norway has 100% universal health care, stronger welfare, AND the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund. The truth is, they don’t believe in Britain.

@EricLDaugh So can Israel’s missiles reach us, along with many other countries. It’s why we have deterrent missiles. Funny thing … we weren’t at risk of anything until a twat president started a war to deflect from issues at home.

🚨 JUST IN: Europe is STUNNED after realizing Trump was right, many of their capital cities may be in range of Iranian ballistic missiles after they targeted Diego Garcia Cities that could be at risk include - London - Berlin - Paris - Munich - Rome - Oslo TRUMP WARNED THEM that Iran was lying about everything! He warned the WORLD.

@EylonALevy We weren’t under any threat until the US started being dickheads. The US always have the bravery of being out of range, they’re so courageous.

The European Union is waking up to news that the Iranian regime has missiles that can reach the whole of Western Europe. It should say THANK YOU to the United States and Israel for destroying Iran’s nuclear weapons program and obliterating its ballistic missile industry.

@bencsmoke Not sure it is £30bn in just the UK, but ii id £30bn in pre-tax profits .. the current additional corporation tax and windfall levy means the government get 78% of that. £6.6bn to energy companies .. £23.4bn to government.

novel idea but why don’t the energy providers (who made estimated £30 billion in profit in 2024) take the hit on increase costs instead of consumers who have already been squeezed dry?

@otokyo__ Anal

Please help me...

@UziCryptoo Who want to be the richest man in the cemetery. Go on holiday and have a good time with your family .. that’s what you really work for. Not to hoard money.

I had a manager who said he “couldn’t afford to invest.” But he took a family $7,000 vacation every year. $7,000/year at 8% for 30 years? $792,000. We don’t lack money. We lack priorities.

@richardosman @richardosman what happens to all the house of games prizes with your face on that aren’t given away in the last series? Can I suggest a charity auction .. my daughter would bid over the odds just for the salt and pepper set.

Thank you for all your kind words as I step down from #HouseOfGames after 9 amazing years. It is honestly the most fun show to work on, with the most wonderful team, but, after 800 episodes it's time to hand over the keys to a new host. There are plenty of new episodes still to air though, and I'll even be filming one final handover week later in the year! It really has been a treat from start to finish.

@UKLabour Tax avoidance is legal … Rayner tax evasion is not legal See the difference?

Richard Tice must explain himself immediately.

@Heccles94 Tax evasion and tax avoidance are not the same. One is illegal and one isn’t.

Richard Tice said that Angela Raynor should resign over £40,000 of stamp duty. Today it is revealed that the same man has avoided £600,000 of corporation tax. Should he resign? Or is it one rule for posh blokes and another for working class women?

@eurofounder You judged the jury by your own racist standards. You protected no one but exposed yourself as a racist.

My wife was sexually harassed by her boss last month She was brave enough to report him and went to court Everything seemed fine until I noticed a problem Her boss is a person of color, a man from Nigeria And the jury was entirely white I had no choice but to raise an objection "This trial cannot proceed" I said "A white jury cannot fairly judge a man of color" The trial has been postponed 5 months pending a diversity review of the jury pool "You betrayed me" my wife said "No honey, I protected a man from institutional racism" This is why the rest of the world looks up to Europe We protect everyone

@Kevin_Maguire It’s simple .. remove the excess duty you expect oil companies to pay and the price will drop. You won’t because the more the price rises the bigger percentage the government gets

Fuel industry is already price gouging in the UK, ramping up prices for petrol(+7p a litre), diesel(16p) and heating oil(doubled) that was ready for sale in the country. Hammer the profiteers. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

@janrosenow Yep - you can’t move round Oxford university because of all the heat pumps everywhere!! What a pile of toss you spout for a supposed educated man. Not suitable for many properties, or places with high density.

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

@GeneValentino The fact that we aren’t starting wars round the world, probably makes us more competent to hold them than the aggressive US.

UK is no longer competent to possess nuclear weapons.

@lawyer_memes You sound like a wonderful person. Let’s hope at some point you don’t need his help.

A junior said "Good morning" to me in the elevator. I checked my watch. It was 11:00 AM. I looked at him. "It's almost lunch," I said. "You're three hours late to the concept of morning." He tried to explain he'd been at his desk since 7. I interrupted and told him accuracy matters more than intent. I emailed his reviewer suggesting he take a CLE on time management. He apologized later. I didn't reply. I forwarded the apology to HR as proof of his inefficiency. Greetings are risky. He learned an important lesson. Never speak to a partner in the elevator. Unless spoken to.

@bluewmist I love the west end of London .. but some of those ticket prices are crazy now.

What is something you've officially stopped buying in 2026 because the price has become genuinely insulting?

@MatthewCoast It’s simple .. duties are shared with the father. That’s how we and millions of other parents did it.

JUST WONDERING HOW MOMS are supposed to work 9-5, drop the kids off at school at 8 AM, pick them up by 3 PM, stay on top of school activities, meal prep, cook dinner, keep the house clean, do the laundry, run the kids to extracurricular activities, climb the corporate ladder, save sick days for when the kids are sick, be a good friend, daughter, and partner, all while trying to take care of their own body and mental health…

@gr8ehosting @higgyboson Bollocks .. having worked in the North Sea for 30 years .. I have to say you are talking complete twatty bollocks.

@higgyboson Just one problem with your scenario, north sea oil is not the best type of oil for petrol, so watch the prices go up.

The supply of oil will be severely affected by the current situation in the Middle East. We are so lucky in this country to have an abundant supply of this commodity constantly on tap from our own North Sea reserves. It's just a matter of sheer luck that we're sat next to literally billions of barrels of oil providing us with energy security for decades. Now, just imagine if a government decided not to utilise this bounty and instead decided to completely ignore it's existence in favour of relying on other countries to supply it to us at greatly inflated prices. That would be insane.

@seanspicer Stop fucking insulting countries and slapping tarrifs on them … USA have sod all friends in the world.

just a reminder, our good buddies the British refused to allow the US military to operate out of any of their bases

@Clainy6 Labour got just 33.7% of the votes in the last general election .. I’d be amazed if they could even get close to that now. Beaten at Gorton & Denton by two parties which are minor in the HoP doesn’t look good for Labour.

Surely we can now all agree. Labour & the Green party combined polled 66% in Gorton and Denton. Reform polled 28% Meaning more than twice as many people prefer Socialist policies than the Racist right wing Reform scum. I didn't count the Tories because they lost their deposit!
