I don't want to say

@MrPitbull07 Yes, and I remember the fat rose to the top (doesn’t now unless it’s expensive milk) and the birds used to peck theough the foil lids to drink it.

My wife says this never happened. Does anyone else remember when milk came in glass bottles and the milkman would deliver it to your doorstep before sunrise? You’d leave the empties out for him to pick up!

@BoomerDivvies Now is the time to buy.

My stocks are down over $500k in the past few months. Is it time to panic yet, what do you think?

@johnredwood Your government reduced that funding. You, as a government MP, are responsible for 14 years of under funding.

The government took the UK from 3 rd highest NATO spender on defence relative to GDP to 12 th. It needs to concentrate this spend on improving the defence of our islands and bases. The PM should not make rash promises to defend Europe when he spends so little.

@ev_australia You are making the assumption that charging at home is possible. For many, it isn’t, so the only option is to take it to a place (and pay roughly the same per mile for electricity or petrol, except charging takes longer).

Charging an EV is not like refuelling. You don’t “go somewhere” to charge. You plug in at home. Game changer once you understand this. ....but some.. still won't.

@PaulEmbery Dunno, I’m never in a pub past 8 🤣🤣🤣

When I was growing up, pubs would often be rammed until closing time (not so much during the week, but certainly at weekends). The bell for “last orders” would usually spark a rush to the bar. These days, even the most popular pubs seem to start emptying out around 8.00-9.00pm, including on Fridays and Saturdays. Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? Is there a reason for it?

@realMaalouf Ask my boss to buy another microwave.

You see this sign at your workplace. What’s the first thing that comes to mind?

@Heccles94 Flat tax on all income of any and all forms, with a generous tax free threshold (no one on minimum wage pays tax), where all income counts towards that threshold. No loopholes. No tax breaks, except pensions and ISAs (capped annual contributions). No off shore income without tax.

I think we should change the tax brackets. Up to 15k tax free Basic rate 20% up to 60k 60k - 80k - 30% 80k - 150k 40% 150k - 500k - 50% 500k - 2,000,000 55% Then 60% on the rest over 2,000,000 What do you think?

@BladeoftheS You are rewriting history here. Life was shot in the 70s.

Until 1979 when Margaret Thatcher took over, Water, Energy, Rail and Mail were some of the cheapest and best run services in the entire world. Then suddenly she said we can't afford them because she wanted to privatise them and they began to fail. What a strange coincidence.

@hantsarchitect @BladeoftheS There probably is an argument to increase liability of the owners for poorly run businesses that collapse into administration after the owners have extracted value. Plenty of predatory asset strippers out there. Not clear how to do it and maintain a business friendly culture

@CmdrSpace @BladeoftheS The people who invested knew the risk. Punks was always a scam / loyalty scheme and most punters happy. There were a few who put in thousands who probably are a little wiser now. Limited liability is necessary for societal growth.

BrewDog had more than £550 million in debts when the firm was handed over to administrators. Founders James Watt and Martin Dickie have approximately £550 million between them. The solution is simple.

@TheNolanGore It’s his title. Most people can’t do a PhD. He gets to choose to use it or not.

Wow Customer called to insist we update our entire system (emails, calls, receipts) so we remember to call him DOCTOR. we looked him up. Doctorate in…accounting… What do you do next?

@BladeoftheS That’s not how personal tax works. There are multiple thresholds for NI and income tax, plus various tax breaks. Given this, I suspect your “less than 20% tax” claim is ewually bogus. For example, corporation tax is 25% on profits over £250k, plus dividend tax for the owners

The richest 1% & their companies will take £943 billion in profit this year They pay an average of less than 20% tax on this While you pay 28% tax on everything over £12,571 They take 12 times more after living costs than the other 99% combined This simply isn’t sustainable

@_HenryBolton Whether it’s 72 sorties per day, or more than 200, they can both embarrassingly limp back to port if a laundry fire gets out of hand.

President Trump has called the British aircraft carriers "toys". He's wrong. They are certainly not "toys". Carriers are difficult to compare. The Royal Navy's Queen Elizabeth class carriers are smaller than the US Nimitz class ships but are significantly more capable than the US America class ships. In sortie generation rates (SGR - number of launches per day), the Nimitz class is at around 120, the QEII class around 72, the America class around 40, and China's Fujian around 100. The Royal Navy's problem is not it's carriers, it is the appalling lack of investment made into the rest of the Fleet. The RN has some of the best kit in the world, but one ship can only be in one place at one time. Why did Trump make such an inaccurate and insultingly derogatory comment? I can only guess that he a) wanted to embarrass Keir Starmer into investing more in the UK's armed forces and b) wrongly let his petulance at the UK's hesitancy to get involved in the Iran war get the better of him. What's embarrassed our country in his eyes, and in the eyes of the world, is not that the government chose not to participate in strikes against Iran, but that the appalling condition of our armed forces, their shocking neglect by successive governments, and the timidity of our politicians in acting pro-actively to defend our interests and support those of our allies, were laid bare. Below: HMS Prince of Wales, USS Nimitz and US America class and a comparison of the three classes in one photo.

@TheNorfolkLion Trump did that.

TRUMP: “I DON’T KNOW IF WE’LL BE THERE FOR THE UK ANYMORE” Donald Trump just questioned whether the US will still be there for the UK in the future: "We're always going to be there. Well, at least we were. I don't know about anymore, to be honest with you." Keir Starmer has destroyed the special relationship that Britain and America have shared for decades.

@HilzFuld NATO are obliged to defend a member if they are attacked. They are not obliged to start a war with a member, and they are also not obliged to defend a member from the forces of a country that member started a war with.

Perhaps this is a dumb question, but can someone please explain to me what the purpose of NATO is if a member of NATO is attacked and the other members do nothing.

The guy has totally lost it. The world has years of this.

Trump: You see this pen right here? This pen is very inexpensive. But it writes well. I like it. Sharpie. I came here. They had $1,000 pens. You hand out pens. You hand them to people. 30, 40 people. They were $1,000 a piece. Beautiful pen, ball point. I hand out to kids that don't know. It's kid getting a pen for $1,000. They have no idea what it is. I had another problem. They didn’t write well. I sign—no ink. I have all you people looking and say there must be something wrong with Trump. There is no ink in the pen. It cost $1,000.

@AvonandsomerRob Guarantors are not lending to their kid. They are promising the bank they will pay the debt if the kid defaults. This doesn’t split up families unless the kid defaults, and even then, it might not. My wife’s parents acted as a guarantor 25 years ago. Nothing bad happened

Just seen a Natwest mortgage targeted towards parents, to act as Guarantors for their kids. Please don't ever do that. It will split up your family.

@machinethrones @EricLDaugh @NJ_USA_Patriot Apparently he’s done 3 IQ tests and done very well 🤣🤣🤣

@EricLDaugh @NJ_USA_Patriot Reading these responses just made my day. The collective IQ of Americans can’t be much higher than room temp. Makes sense why Trump is their leader!🤣🤣

🚨 HOLY CRAP. President Trump just revealed the present Iran's leaders gifted him was 8 boats of OIL through the Strait of Hormuz! "Then they apologized for something, and SENT 2 MORE BOATS. It was 10 boats!" "I said, well, I guess they were right, they were real! I think they were Pakistani-flagged. I said, well, we're dealing with the right people!" "They said: to show you we're real, we'll let you have 8 big boats of oil." Wow!

@Keg767 Maybe the problem with fuel efficiency is with an aging fleet? I wouldn’t have thought older 777s are that efficient?

This is bad. Very bad. There should be no financial incentives for stuff like this. As an example, I do a Flap 3 landing wherever I can. But there are certain runway configs where I can’t do it. So I lose my bonus because of decisions by ATC? What compromised choice do I then..
