@MikeyCycling That's a truly awful thing to say to someone. I hope he uses this as a reflection point for the direction his life is going in. Hope you're well and just know many people support what you do

@ClaireCoutinho This is wonderful, but what specific policy are the Tories proposing to end this nonsense?

Wages set by Soviet style tribunals will only mean fewer jobs and poorer services. ‘Equal value’ claims bankrolled by hedge funds have bankrupted councils and will damage investment into Britain. That’s why we’ll end them.

The largest supermarket in Britain, that operates on razor-thin margins, is about to be crushed for the crime of paying different jobs different salaries, while our legislature shrugs. How dare they suggest that “so-called market rates” can exist in Soviet Britain.

@EdwardJDavey Whatever you say mate, nobody's listening anymore. British politics is changing so much faster than any of you people realise. We are going to take our country back.

@MrsEmmaWebber @LeoKearse @KirstieMAllsopp The bravery your families are showing is astounding. Your loss should've been the final straw. Kier Starmer will talk tough and do nothing... It's time for a new approach to governing

I’m the Mum of Barnaby Webber, one of 3 innocent victims of the Nottingham attacks in 2023. Where Valdo Calocane was allowed to roam the streets with a lengthy history of violence, assaults, hatred and mental illness because the health services feared the stigma of detaining him for his race and age above safety to the public. Echoed by their colleagues in the Police and CPS. ……And still they all continue to defend their failures. @KirstieMAllsopp please use your trusted voice to follow and support the #nottinghaminquiry if you can. Only be forcing this into the public arena and shouting from the rooftops will things ever change. Even a like and or rt of my posts would help enormously. 🫶🙏

I love the U.K., a man can run around the streets stabbing people for being Jewish, and the issue people debate is whether the police officers trying to remove the knife from him used excessive force. Proof that we will do absolutely anything to avoid addressing antisemitism.

@admcollingwood If Britain was a proper country we'd have set up an alternative by now. So many countries are itching for a trading bloc and not a political union. EU is a disaster

This is where reality sets in. Magyar campaigned on a manifesto of Orbanist, socially conservative, Hungary First policies, but with better relations with the EU and less corruption. The problem is that the reason the EU and Orban were at loggerheads in the first place was exactly those socially conservative, Hungary First policies. You can either accept lots of so called asylum seekers from Sub Saharan Africa, the Levant and the Hindu Kush, OR you accept bad relations with the EU. You either accept European rulings about LGBTQ+ materials in schools, OR you accept bad relations with the EU. You either change the judiciary to stop pro-EU liberal progressives stopping by legal legerdemain the Hungary First Policies you were elected by the people to enact, OR you accept bad relations with the EU. You either put Hungarian taxpayers on the hook for billions of euros to give to Ukraine OR you accept bad relations with the EU. You either accept that you will have much higher energy costs by breaking relations with Russia OR you accept bad relations with the EU. While in theory there might be room for compromise on these issues, the EU will brook none—or certainly not from a middling EU country like Hungary. Germany or France perhaps, but not Hungary. The only 'compromise' they offer in such situations is help with the wording of any agreement: that is to say, they are unwilling to move even a quantum from their position, but they are willing to word the communique in a way that helps sell abject subjugation to a local population. It is highly unlikely that somebody of Mr Magyar's inexperience will be able to stand up for Hungary in this situation, even if he wanted to. While Princess Ursula Minor is incompetent, the permanent EU bureaucrats are not, and are well able to grind down even the most experienced opponents. They run rings greenhorns or dilettantes—especially ones who owe them many favours after electoral support. (Furthermore, each defeat for Hungary will be of a nature that makes the next line of defence marginally harder to defend than the previous. This is why Orban was so unpopular: he held the first line, and had over many years in power removed nearly all the tools used by the EU to hold the toes of disobedient nations to the fire.) So if Magyar putting a neoliberal globalist in charge of the economy and an LGBTQ+ advocate in charge of education, and being supported directly by the EU in the election, wasn't enough to make you question the viability of his 'Orban but with a return of EU funding and grants' — wait till these negotiations end.

Hungary’s incoming PM Péter Magyar is in Brussels today, skipping the waiting period and heading straight into talks with Ursula von der Leyen. His aim: unlocking billions in frozen EU funds. 🎙️ @zoyashef and @swheaton discuss on #BrusselsPlaybookPod: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

@AaronBastani It's because the Senedd has always been extremely dismissive of the Welsh public. Regarding them of little importance due to turnout being incredibly low. Bringing in a system where you can't vote out your MS is a travesty. Jobs for the boys will continue

@AndyGoode10 Day the prem ditched relegation is the day it started to fade. It's already become a pretty uncompetitive league

Burnham was our opponent for a while in DfE 2010-14. He was so so rubbish I told the team: just ignore him and focus on our real problems, officials in DfE. His speeches, blather was so bad and irrelevant we didn’t have to spend time thinking about him. So it’s fitting SW1 is treating him like Bill Clinton talent… Sums up flight of elite talent from SW1 over decades. Similarly when Starmer took over in 2020, the Trolley rightly said: this guy is absolutely useless. Tragically he then concluded ‘I don’t have to do anything to win in 24, I can bring in Carries friends have fun I’m invulnerable’… So a historic opportunity to reboot politics was flushed down the bog

“The focus groups I have seen are like actual gold dust. People say things like ‘he cares about people like us’. Do you know how rare it is to see that about a politician?“ Our read, on the consensus forming around Andy Burnham @kiranstacey theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

@Billthejohn @rugby_hub Fully find how? There already seems to be an issue with a lack of money. There isn’t the appetite for a proper second tier. Prem aides struggle and they’re getting thousands at games, how do championship sides suddenly become viable all of a sudden?
