Peace and quiet

@Steven_Swinford So double the staff, double the cost. Unnecessary duplication for a vanity project, which will no doubt create havoc for the lower grade staff who have to make this work. Great.

Antona Romeo, the Cabinet Secretary, will appoint a DG for Number 10 North who will be in place in the first week of Andy Burnham's premiership The role will be based full-time in Manchester and the new DG will work closely with Dan York-Smith, the PM's PPS who will continue to be based in Downing Street York-Smith will retain his constitutional role as part of the 'golden triangle' alongside Romeo and the King's PPS A Whitehall source said: "The civil service is primed and ready to deliver for Andy Burnham. Number 10 North will be up and running from day one, focused on driving devolution and spreading opportunity right across the country."

@CallumRavesUK @trussliz That's because I don't use Twitter as a platform for my work.

@CatsRule75 @trussliz You called me a misogynist and yet I don’t see you showing any support for domestic abuse victims.. or anything that would seem to be anti-misogyny, aside from baselessly calling others misogynists.

The Times newspaper is a disgrace.

@CallumRavesUK @trussliz Mate, I have a life off line 😂 I'm not surprised to find you're still here, days later, getting butthurt at being called out on being full of crap 😂

@CatsRule75 @trussliz Earth to @catsrule75 you called me a mysoginist, I shared evidence I’m far from that, and you disappeared into thin away without so much as an apology. Wanna take it back?

@CallumRavesUK @trussliz You called a woman a cunt. It's patently misogynistic and you don't like it.

@CatsRule75 @trussliz I don’t discriminate with calling people cunts, dicks etc etc.. equal opportunities for cunts of every race, creed, gender etc. Don’t try and frame it in a way it’s not and make it about anything else.

@CallumRavesUK @trussliz Agree, but calling any woman a cunt and telling her to shut the fuck up is particularly aggressive and misogynistic. There are better ways to express opinions than that.

@CatsRule75 @trussliz There’s a way to not crash our economy in less time than it takes a lettuce to rot. Liz is not it.

@JoshFoley95 @MikeFPhotos @GuidoFawkes You tell me? Or do you want all elections to be funded by political parities because of the whims of a politician?

REFORM OFFERS TO COVER COST OF CLACTON BY-ELECTION FOR TAXPAYER. FARAGE: "I have spoken to the CEO of Tendring District Council. Reform has offered to cover the cost of the by-election. I will be writing to Rachel Reeves later today with the same message. Given that we asked for this by-election in the first place, it’s only right that we pay for it."

@CallumRavesUK @trussliz There's a way to have a debate. This is not it.

@trussliz Shut the fuck up… you got beaten by a lettuce, cunt

@WiBbLe523 @GuidoFawkes Why? All the accounts on here calling me names would be kicking off if Labour, Conservatives or any other party found the money for this one. But because it's Reform it suits the narrative. You'd think Farage would want a clean election to detract from his naysayers....

@CatsRule75 @GuidoFawkes Maybe your consideration needs reconsidering.

@StuartD1912 @WiBbLe523 @GuidoFawkes No, but it heavily taints the entire thing.

@CatsRule75 @WiBbLe523 @GuidoFawkes Paying for a race doesn't guarantee a win

@RFM_FNOWELL512 @GuidoFawkes Do you want a future in which is it normalised that an election is paid for by anyone with an interest in it? I don't.

@CatsRule75 @GuidoFawkes Jesus Christ do you want taxpayers money wasted?

@MikeFPhotos @GuidoFawkes Ah look, a classicly considered, thoughtful, intelligent answer.

@CatsRule75 @GuidoFawkes Fuck’s sake you fucking clown! 🤡

@WiBbLe523 @GuidoFawkes What's the difference? If Labour had paid for the Makerfield by election I'd consider it the same thing - bought and paid for by a political party. Totally inappropriate.

@CatsRule75 @GuidoFawkes Not buying, covering the cost so the tax payers don’t have to.

@Number10cat Absolutely. Statement: "I need more attention on me, so I'll set up a media opportunity to continue my grift and remind all you plebs that I am here to do all I can to make all I can and climb into the ranks of corruption and vice while making you think I'm a man of the people".

Prediction: "I'm not going anywhere, they can't intimidate me! These smears are just the establishment scared of change" Translation: "I am the establishment but the money's good so the grift goes on, for now"

@UKForcesTracker What do we think this means for the future of the RFA?

Having given it a day to let the dust settle, let's take a look at the Defence Investment Plan: gov.uk/government/pub… 1/

@grahamwettone Cambs police, social services and NHS need to be very clear about whether he's been sectioned, is in a secure facility or how risks will be managed etc - they are asking too much of the public to expect them to be capable of understanding what's happened here.

Standby for lots of ill informed posts about bail procedures / charging guidelines & fitness for interview rules from certain accounts that are designed to cause outrage & initiate disorder. 🤷‍♂️

@BettyBoochichi2 The most god awful thing I've read in a long time. That poor soul. 💔

A serving detective for West Midlands Police tragically died from horror thermal burn injuries in the back of a parked car in Birmingham, an inquest found. The body of Det Con Tayyab Malik was discovered in a Volkswagen Polo on the driveway of his home on Yardley Wood Road, in Billesley, on February 24. The 35-year-old had doused himself with a flammable liquid and ignited it in the Billesley Common area, a Birmingham coroner found. The officer then made his way home and tried unsuccessfully to gain entry to the property before getting into his vehicle from the rear. Det Con Malik was later discovered unresponsive by a neighbour and was pronounced dead at the scene. A post-mortem examination found his death to be from thermal burn injuries. The inquest found he had experienced difficulties in his personal life since July last year. Digital examination of his phone found he had researched ways to end his life. While an unsent note also indicated his intentions, the inquest found. He had struggled in the past with his mental health, but was not known to mental health services. The coroner's conclusion was given as suicide. Adam Hodson, the Area Coroner for Birmingham and Solihull, said in summary: "On February 24, Tayyab was pronounced deceased by officers from West Midlands Police at 2:26pm after being discovered unresponsive by a neighbour in the rear of his car outside of his property.” "An investigation revealed that Tayyab had left his home at 1:21am on 24 February and travelled toward Billesley Common, entering via the pedestrian access opposite the junction of Bondfield Road.” "Whilst on the common, it appears he doused himself with a flammable liquid and ignited the same.” "At 2:09am, he was observed returning to the home address on foot where he spent several minutes attempting to gain entry through the front door before entering the rear of his vehicle parked on the driveway at 2:21am, where he died.” "Post-mortem investigations revealed he had died due to thermal burn injuries.” "Digital examination of his phone revealed he had researched ways to end his life, as well as an unsent note indicating his intentions.” "Tayyab had experienced difficulties in his personal life since July 2025 at which time he had sought assistance from a private counsellor.” "He had previously experienced difficulties at work, but these do no appear to have influenced or contributed to his actions on 24 February.” "Tayyab had struggled in the past with his mental health, but was not known to mental health services at the time of his death." In a statement, issued via police to BirminghamLive at the time, his family said: "We are heartbroken by the loss of Tayyab Malik, a dedicated serving police officer and a beloved son, husband, brother, friend and nephew.” "There are no words to describe the depth of our loss. He will be missed more than words can express and will always remain in our hearts. May he rest in peace." Link to the article: birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…

@vO8NX5YB3S68625 @matoxley Are you calling for John Mcguinness to hang up his leathers as well? Or just the women?

@matoxley She is way over 40...sorry, absolutely against stopping this even, but allowing everyone to join is maybe a bit too much

Horrible news from the Isle of Man. Maria Costello is currently paralysed from T5/6, following her crash during sidecar qualifying last week. Please contribute to her recovery if you can and also RT gofundme.com/f/maria-costel…
