@Britpopmemories @thecharlatans @Tim_Burgess @LlSTENlNG_PARTY All. For me the band’s best long player and it does have a lot of good ones in the locker.

Happy 30th birthday to “The Charlatans” the eponymous album by @thecharlatans Here’s @Tim_Burgess giving his track by track guide to The Melody Maker…like an early version of @LlSTENlNG_PARTY I guess! What’s your favourite track from the album?

@AllisonPearson Would you have the same level of sickness had it not been a former @UKLabour councillor not found guilty by jury?

I feel sick. Labour councillor told crowd to “cut their throats” found not guilty. He didn’t mean it literally. Lucy Connolly didn’t mean it literally either. But Lucy is white and married to a Tory councillor. 2-tier justice. 😡 telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/08/1…

@JamesCleverly Is it unacceptable solely because the individual was a serving @UKLabour councillor?

This unacceptable. Perverse decisions like this are adding to the anger that people feel and amplifying the belief that there isn’t a dispassionate criminal justice system.

@CPhilpOfficial Simple question @CPhilpOfficial. Would you have been as angry had the person found not guilty not been a @UKLabour councillor?

It is astonishing that Labour councillor Ricky Jones, who was caught on video calling for throats to be slit, is let off scot free - whereas Lucy Connolly got 31 months prison for posting something no worse. The development of two tier justice is becoming increasingly alarming. It cannot have been a question of uncertain evidence as Jones was on video clearly calling for violence. The government must come forward with plans to ensure justice is handed out equally, regardless of the background or views of the perpetrator - but as far as I can see this Labour government seems to be quite happy with two tier justice.

@KemiBadenoch Hang on. For how long have you and other @Conservatives been ramming down our throats @UKLabour the fastest growing G7 economy? Now it’s inherited a “recovering economy”. 🤷‍♂️

Labour inherited a recovering economy. One year later: it’s bleeding out. Starmer and Reeves crashed the car with their budget but haven’t learned the lesson: You can’t tax your way to growth. Britain can’t afford any more high taxes. We need to cut spending. Now.

Retweet for a chance to win 2 tickets for our UK tour in December Quote tweet this post including the name of the venue / city you’d like to come to I’ll choose one for each show at random - winners picked 9am Thursday July 17th Goood luck. Maybe see you in December Tim x

@TiceRichard It’s a Fit Note not ‘SICK NOTES’ gov.uk/government/col… A person can be fit for work or fit to continue working with adjustments, not just be ‘signed off’. In your detailed and comprehensive research, how many of the 11-million issued in 2024 encouraged remaining at work?

SICK NOTES 11 million issued 2024 Double number issued v. 10 yrs ago Britain is not twice as sick as 2014 Does Britain have a work problem? Are doctors issuing too freely?

A thing I’m doing for a thing One question What’s your favourite Charlatans album?

@GoodwinMJ Why single out he’s a @UKLabour MP? Why not refer to the assailant as ‘a member of parliament’ in general?

I’m sorry but what. Britain is NOT sending to prison a Labour Member of Parliament who was filmed assaulting one of his own voters but IS sending to prison people who wrote some challenging things on Facebook in their own home? Is this actually happening?

@KemiBadenoch Your and @Conservatives MPs and supporters silence was deafening when the integrity of another Chancellor was being questioned. Some might say for more serious ‘wrong doings’.

The BBC's investigation raises serious questions for Rachel Reeves. Keir Starmer said "restoring trust in politics is the great test of our era". Until she comes clean - not just about her CV but about the circumstances in which she left HBOS, no one will take him seriously.

@Helen_Whately Didn’t @KemiBadenoch in her recent speech say it’s time for @Conservatives to be straight with the voting public. Was she already not telling truth? New regime, same peddling misinformation.

Last week's Sainsbury's job losses are just the start under this Labour Government. Anti-growth policies and taxes on jobs only ever lead one way.

@Helen_Whately Having told us at the beginning of the week that the last 14 years of a @Conservatives government had been one big lie and it’s now time to tell the truth. May be saying it’s now time to tell truth is also a lie given @KemiBadenoch lips were moving at the time.

Don’t trust other parties to tell you what Kemi thinks about pensions. Why would they tell you the truth? Here’s what she actually said about the triple lock ⬇️

@ShiiineOn_ @embrace

This week in 1997 @embrace were out on tour. Did you go...?

Another example as to why a certain party should definitely avoid giving lectures and making claims of being fiscally responsible? @carolvorders theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
