@floboflo Shall we throw in the mysterious case of Nick Brown? We could also spend a little time pondering why Tulip Siddiq, a convicted criminal on Interpols wanted list, is still a sitting Labour MP.

That’s that then. Now we can get back to who bought Farage’s house and Richard Tice’s tax affairs.

MPs reject call for Keir Starmer to face parliamentary probe into whether he misled the Commons about Mandelson vetting bbc.in/42AxSJu

@MarkSeddon1962 Just imagine if you had a clue what you’re talking about!
English
Just imagine if Margaret Thatcher hadn't flogged off BP for a song...

💥BP’s quarterly profits have more than doubled after jump in oil and gas prices linked to conflict in Middle East - meanwhile UK consumers are worried about energy bill and price at the pump. Energy company said underlying profits for first quarter were £2.4bn, up by more than 130% from same period a year ago, and far outstripping City forecasts.

@MarkSeddon1962 Have taxation laws changed? How can the UK government tax a company on foreign earnings?
English
Time for a very, very large windfall tax.

🚨 BREAKING: British oil and gas giant BP has more than doubled profits due to the Iran war - from $1.38bn to $3.2bn

@dr72w_david @nickrenshaw5 Debating at its finest, you must be highly educated.
English
Starmer easily the Best PM since Gordon Brown
Paul Vick@PaulVick138203
Which one of these prime ministers do you think has done the best job as prime minister?🤔 Repost after voting please.
English
@jjbiggsy In eight days time you will get an idea of how furious the electorate are.
English
The better Starmers Government is, the angrier the far right & far left get.
He's obviously doing great work, because they are furious.
Splendid.

@darrenpjones You won’t need to let the Conservatives and their friends in Reform do anything, the electorate will deposit you in the dole queue as soon as they can.
English
We are investing in new rail, roads, and nuclear reactors.
New scanners for our hospitals and free breakfast clubs for our children.
We’re not going to let the Conservatives - or their friends in Reform - tear that down.
English
@RichardBurgon I normally disagree with you and your political stance, on this issue you are to be applauded.
English
I just voted for the motion for Keir Starmer to go to the Privileges Committee over the Mandelson issue.
Whipping MPs to block this was wrong and reinforces so much of what people hate about Westminster.
English
@connor_naismith A war that Starmer says we have no part to play, why would that be discussed in the house.
English
War is raging across the world sending shockwaves that hit the living standards of our constituents.
Yet the Tories have us spending 11 hours in the HoC debating process and minutae that does nothing to reflect the priorities of the British people in these times of crisis.
London, England 🇬🇧 English
@Anna_Soubry Of course they will, their illustrious leader has threatened to sack them if they don’t do as he says, a real democracy in action.
English
FWIW: sensible #Labour MPs may well be disappointed (given recent events) in #KeirStarmer but he’s fundamentally an honest & decent man.
Opposition parties are playing politics ahead of elections.
I hope Labour back benchers get behind Starmer & vote the motion down
English
@lukejcr How is Labours house building program going?
There are more than enough brown land building opportunities throughout the UK.
Have each of you Labour MP’s been allocated a pet subject to promote on social media?
English
Interesting, isn’t it. NIMBY Nige would happily allow fracking across our countryside.
But when it comes to a credible plan to build homes for young people? Radio silence. 🦗
More proof, if you even needed it, that Reform don’t give a FRACK about young people’s future…

Building on our beautiful green spaces is wrong on every level. 🌳

@matthewsyed Whatever your politics, claiming the appointment of the UK ambassador to the US is a ‘minor appointment’ preclude s you from being taken seriously.
English
The bandwidth sucked up by the Mandelson non-story is embarrassing. A minor appointment taken in what was perceived to be the national interest. Astonishing that the Westminster bubble is still obsessed but then tittle tattle started to define British politics a long time ago
English
@politixintheuk So why is Starmer not allowing his MP’s a free vote? Instead threatening to sack them if they vote against him.
Sounds really innocent.
English
Labour frontbencher Hillary Benn declares that the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, has nothing to hide over the Mandelson vetting scandal, declaring there is "no basis" for the Privileges Committee investigation vote tomorrow.
English
@FiercePussyxx On GMB he wouldn’t give the Green policies as they are not policies for local elections. Today he wants you to vote Green Party at the local elections so they can influence international politics. Clueless and embarrassing.
English
Genuine question. Has anyone ever met anyone from the Green Party who has advocated for an ‘open border policy’?
I mean, I’m not a Green, but I’ve never met one who does suggest this.
Nigel Farage MP@Nigel_Farage
A classic of the genre.
English
@JackWDart You missed out where they raised taxes by £billions and still only undershot its borrowing target by millions.
English
The government undershot its annual borrowing target by £700m for the financial year ending March 2026, the UK regained its position as the world’s 5th largest economy, overtaking India, per April 2026 IMF data, and GDP grew 0.5% in February 2026, exceeding forecasts of 0.1%.
Allison Pearson@AllisonPearson
Another disaster to chalk up to Chancellor @RachelReevesMP Claire’s Accessories to close with the loss of 1300 jobs. Labour has created historically hostile conditions for the High Street. The People’s Revenge will wipe out Labour on 7 May.
English
@justdavenow89 Can you explain why Starmer don’t answer questions at Prime Ministers questions time?
English
Nigel Farage who wants to be prime minister of this country
has missed 50 votes in parliament to decide the future of it.
He doesnt care and you are stupid to think he does
English
@ZackPolanski The most common sense I've heard a politician speaking recently. This illegal war launched by IZr8el and America against Iran, causes major financial crisis for "the people" but certain industries, like oil & military, will get turbo charged profits. It's inverted the status quo.
English
The system is rigged.
An illegal war hikes bills for stuggling families - meanwhile energy giants rake in profits.
We don't have to live like this any more. Vote Green on May 7th.
