@Al61982 @drhingram I will stick to paying 150 euros for a battery replacement and not 20,000 but thanks 🤣🤣

This is why EVs will struggle to sell in the UK. Too many houses without drives, shared parking spots or first-come-first-served on-street parking. I park outside my neighbour’s house three doors away and pretty sure a lead trailing across three houses would not be appreciated.

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

@drhingram @charli_says You stick to expensive petrol and I’ll charge my car overnight for pence not pounds. I’ll stick to Ferrari type acceleration too with my sewing machine performance. Nothing I love more than leaving the hot hatches for dead at the traffic lights 😂
English
@charli_says I’m sure they’re lovely cars but they’re completely impractical right now. Maybe when the tech develops things will be different. And we need an engine roar, not a sewing machine whine!

@jamese_uk Unless you’re Catholic, apologies aren’t a get out of jail free card. You can’t simply say sorry for a terrible decision you made, knowing all the facts he did at the time.
English
@jamese_uk Did they appoint the best friend of the biggest sex trafficker to government too? Starmer is not worse, but his judgement is just as bad. He has supported a Chancellor whose decisions have led to growing youth unemployment - at what point will you stop blaming the Tories?
English
Still can't believe that the people who brought us Boris Johnson and Liz Truss have the f**king temerity to even suggest that Kier Starmer is the worst Prime Minister ever. It's not even remotely close.
English
EXCL: Morgan McSweeney's mobile phone with texts to Peter Mandelson was stolen.
These messages may be lost forever - meaning there there will be gaps in The Mandelson files published by No10.
Phone was nicked and reported to police last year.

@listertor @Councillorsuzie @bphillipsonMP Just not helping all children eh? Certainly not those lucky enough to go to a private school. Stuff them eh?
English
No no @bphillipsonMP - they are not ‘free’ breakfasts, lunches,clothes etc. someone has to pay for this and it’s the hard pushed taxpayers. You are so happy to give out ‘free’ stuff without any idea how to grow the economy in order to pay for it. Financially illiterate the lot of you. #NeverLabour
Bridget Phillipson@bphillipsonMP
This government is focused on the cost of living. At @educationgovuk, we're saving families cash: £450 on free breakfast clubs £50 on school uniforms £500 on free school meals £300 on school holiday clubs Now it's confirmed we've halved childcare costs, saving parents £8,000.
English
@Councillorsuzie @bphillipsonMP It’s free for the scroungers. They never need to ask or care where the money is coming from. Just keep voting Labour and a Government too scared to rock the boat
English
@alansritchie @robmclean1976 @paullewismoney Hey I’m looking forward to getting my snout in the trough just as soon as I’ve finished paying tens of thousands of pounds taxes every year to support everyone else.
English
@Al61982 @robmclean1976 @paullewismoney Amazing how quickly people abandon "their radical solutions", and start defending the status quo when they think the government might give them less welfare than they deserve, instead of cutting it for someone else.
English
That’s nonsense because many of the people who get what he calls welfare do in fact Work. And much of this total is paid to pensioners in return for their national insurance and they would certainly not consider it welfare. But it’s fake statistics like these that can influence peoples beliefs.
Matthew Elliott@matthew_elliott
The Government will collect £331bn in income tax this year, and spend £333bn on welfare. In other words, we now spend more on people not working than we raise from those who do. And the cost? Debt per person has risen from £11.5k in 2000 (inflation adjusted) to over £41k today.

@BananasDavie @17menzies17 He’s knocked Scotland back at least twice. Have some pride in your team and the players who would give their left leg to play for you. I’d love Musiala to have committed to England but I’d have been embarrassed if we kept chasing him once he’d declared for Germany…
English
@Al61982 @17menzies17 He’s knocked us back not long ago, but who cares about that. I want is to have the strongest team and he’d improve us.
English
As much as I don’t want Harvey Barnes to jump to Scotland now, it’s pleasing to see he is once again left out of the England Squad!
England@England
Here we go. It's your #ThreeLions squad for March camp! 👀
English
@alansritchie @robmclean1976 @paullewismoney Let’s just keep going as we are…nothing to see here all going swimmingly 👍
English
@Al61982 @robmclean1976 @paullewismoney If you think that welfare for old people should be linked to contributions, why have a state pension at all? Let people live off the private pension that they contributed while working, instead of paying NI to pay for the older generations.
Would be unpopular with older voters
English
@Armas_Edel @MarioNawfal So you start a war with no clear objectives then run away to leave others to clear up the mess? Kind of explains Anerican foreign policy since Iraq. At least you guys are consistent 👊😁

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇬🇧 Iran just proved its missiles can reach far beyond the Middle East
Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-UK military base sitting 4,000 kilometers away in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
Neither hit the base, but the message landed harder than any warhead could.
Tehran has always publicly claimed its missile range tops out at 2,000 km.
This strike attempt doubles that number overnight.
The Khorramshahr-4 that likely carried out the attack can also deliver cluster warheads, the same munitions that have been devastating Israeli cities for three weeks.
Look at the map.
A 4,000 km range from Tehran draws a circle that reaches Paris, London, and most of Europe.
Every NATO capital that thought this war was a distant Middle Eastern problem just realized Iranian missiles could theoretically reach their doorstep.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 How Iran hit the "unhittable" jet The F-35 is invisible to radar. It was never invisible to heat. Iran likely used infrared tracking systems that detect engine exhaust instead of radar signatures. Because these systems emit no energy, the F-35's warning systems never alerted the pilot he was being targeted. The suspected weapon: Iran's 358 missile, a hybrid between a loitering drone and a surface-to-air missile that hunts using optical and infrared sensors, bypassing stealth entirely. Stealth dominates radar. Physics doesn't care. Source: AiTelly

@Ed_Miliband @MumsnetTowers Targeted to people on benefits. What’s the betting any support for those on gas will be universal?
English
We will not allow conflict abroad to be an opportunity to rip families off.
My piece for @MumsnetTowers on how we are protecting the British people, including over £50 million to support vulnerable households with heating oil costs 👇

@HughEdw31897368 @KemiBadenoch @Keir_Starmer Rebuilt our reputation abroad by appointing such characters as Mandelson to foreign offices…does your memory go back further than a week?
English
@KemiBadenoch Have you sacked Nick Timothy and Priti Patel yet? No you haven’t. It’s you that has no backbone not @Keir_Starmer who has rebuilt our reputation abroad after you lot trashed it.
English
Labour’s answer to the “worst energy shock in history”? Higher taxes.
Families already pay too much.
Weak abroad. Weak at home. Keir Starmer has no backbone.
There is an alternative: cut spending, cut tax, back business. Get Britain working again.

He's been called Eric since 1937. Came with a little lined notebook and everything that has ever been done on him has been noted by his humans. Including an exorbitant engine bill in the 1960s which was noted with three exclamation marks. We also have some write-ups of trips that he's been on
English
Given the news the UK may now be in range of Iranian ballistic missiles I believe the time has come to introduce civil defence protocols, if only to allow me to fulfil my historic destiny of becoming an ARP Warden...
English
We have a very old Rover called Eric. He was an ARP car in the war. He lived in Richmond upon Thames and retired to the west country with his human. I'd love to know what Eric saw during his early career. Now in his 90s his life is just pure pleasure but back then he will have seen stuff

@TrisOsborneMP @Leviathan9967 Most things were invented under a Tory government (good and bad) because they have been in power longer than you! Let’s be honest Tris, you’re going to be out of power for a long time come the next election…

@Leviathan9967 Medway pay the lowest council tax in Kent
Council tax was created by the right wing in 1990s as I understand. Just a thought.

We've just won £20m for Luton in Chatham as part of our Pride of Place Fund.
It will be the community to decide what its priorities will be. Will it be 🏞️🌳🚲⚽️
You decide 👇

@elpocketo @KhunPat27 Pat compared council tax vs no council tax for essential services. You are comparing average salaries, which is completely irrelevant.
English
@KhunPat27 now go try and live on the average thai salary. why do you think so many women are forced to work in bars and sell bodies for sex to support their families?? england is knackered yes but a silly comparison.
English
In Thailand, my bins get emptied twice a day, morning and night, every day.
I pay 0 baht council tax.
Which country is meant to be the developing one? 😂

@ContorSien1527 @alansritchie @robmclean1976 @paullewismoney I was replying to someone who suggested forcing pensioners back to work. Perhaps you agree with his position? I don’t have the time or patience to argue with people who cannot read or follow a thread…
English
@Al61982 @alansritchie @robmclean1976 @paullewismoney There’s also women who paid reduced NI contributions.
That’s left them with little state pension, leaving them
dependent on means tested benefits for over 65s,
Are they going to be subjected to your suggestions?
