@Keir_Starmer These results have given you the ideal opportunity to resign. If you stay in position, you will hand a right wing coalition the next general election. Any good the Labour party has done and will do, will be undone starting in 2029.

These are tough results for Labour. There’s no sugarcoating it. We’ve lost brilliant Labour representatives who’ve stood up for their communities. People are still frustrated. Their lives aren’t changing fast enough. We haven’t offered enough hope or optimism for the future. I was elected to change this country - tough days like this don’t weaken my determination to do that. They strengthen it.

@LabourfutureUK I will always take the opposite side of any Blair opinion since he turned to the dark side.

The former Prime Minister, Sir Tony Blair, has said that providing cheaper plentiful energy is more important, at this stage, than following a climate first policy. What do you think? Let us know! independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

#electiontresult2026 We will Erect flags, vilify & target minorities, put them in holding camps, give police special powers to control the masses with an iron fist, deny human rights to the rest of the country, control and manipulate the media. 1930s Germany or UK 2029?

@vaelor0 Queue the extreme right wing Ultra Capitalist defenders, using cherry picked extreme left wing stories as a defence.

Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare

@MarioNawfal One minute there's not enough capacity on the grid for EVs the next minute they build city sized data centers.

🇺🇸🇨🇦 Canadian shark Kevin O'Leary just got a 40k-acre data center approved in Utah. That's 62 square miles! 2.5x the size of Manhattan! Residents overwhelmingly showed up to oppose it. Officials approved anyway. Remember, elections have consequences.

@BareLeft Unfortunately the right wing has control of the internet, so people will believe the cherry picked information formed into sweeping statements.

The slight of hand here is the word "households".

@barry_halverson Pubs are closing because the ongoing deregulation of the licencing laws lobbied by the supermarkets. 24 hour cheap alcohol sales in supermarkets have changed drinking habits and the old drinkers are just dying off.

BBC News today “British pubs closing at a rate of almost two per day in 2026” What they didn’t say in local election week- “Between 2010 and 2024, industry bodies like the BBPA & CAMRA consistently recorded between 18 & 30 traditional pub closures per week.” So it’s less then…

@PaulAnleitner Second worst scene just behind Leias space witch.

This moment in Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) was when I knew the postmodern deconstruction of our culture was reaching its apex. It’s hard to believe now that this was a real scene.

@SaulStaniforth Anyone on benefits is pouring every penny back into the economy. They aren't investing abroad, buying bit coin, buying foreign holiday homes or locking it up in Swiss banks.

Kwasi Kwarteng says the welfare bill is unsustainable. Kevin Maguire points out the welfare bill is about 10.6% of GDP, as a proportion that's lower than most other European countries, and the majority of it goes on pensions #GMB

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Why are people dead set against technology that is better for the environment. We all realise manufactured things do have an impact on the environment, but surely it's better to choose the least worst option. A bit like voting.

@NoFarmsNoFoods Pollinators thrive in and around solar panels and as they are in decline, there would be problems getting food without pollinators.

Solar panels on farmland. You can’t eat solar panels.

@DavidoPolice I liked Obama, but when he came over to the UK before the Brexit vote and threatened the electorate, he lost more votes than he won.

Many Americans today have mixed opinions about Barack Obama. Some admire him, others criticize him. But for those of us who come from outside, the reality is often different. Believe it or not, no American president has ever left such a strong impression around the world as Barack Obama. He embodied hope, respect, intelligence, and dialogue. He represented a powerful image of America: open, inspiring, and close to the people. For many of us, Obama was not just a president; he was a symbol. A symbol that everything is possible, that social background, skin color, or personal history should never be limits. He restored confidence to millions of young people around the world. He spoke to the world with dignity, calm, and responsibility. He knew how to unite instead of divide. No matter the internal political debates, internationally, Barack Obama will forever remain one of the most respected, loved, and admired American presidents. His legacy goes beyond borders. And his name will remain engraved in history.

@dorfman_p We were told the grid didn't have the capacity for EVs but they seem to have found the capacity for data centers.

@travisakers Why are the other two pump prices blank?

Any updates?

@NewsWire_US Isn't a free market economy the cornerstone of capitalism.

@MercuriusFilius If you sold the cow to Tesla for $1600 and Tesla sold it to Space X for $1,000,000 how much did the stock market add to value of both companies?

How would you answer this common BlackRock interview question?

@TheRealJamieKay I'm surprised Reform hasn't called for it to be removed. Trump will probably increase tariffs on statues and casting bronze in retaliation.

Thoughts on Banksy’s statue?

@Nornag3st @sciencegirl As entropy affects all things. The pollution added to the water by corrosion and break down of materials is less than the pollution added to the water from oil, gas pipes and diesel tankers. Makes sense to use the least worst option.

@sciencegirl whats impact on water ecosystem thanks to constant heating?

China places its solar panels on water So it can use valuable land for agriculture

@PeterMcCormack Plantation and factory owners used the same reasons to argue against abolishing slavery and child labour.

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

@edwinhayward I just don't understand the love Andor gets. A couple of episodes were ok, but nothing really happened in the majority of episodes.

Best Star Wars viewing order: - Andor Seasons 1 & 2 - Rogue One - SW IV: A New Hope - SW V: Empire Strikes Back - SW VI: Return of the Jedi And that's it. The perfect subset. Or do you disagree?
