@again_mac @reformexposed @reformparty_uk My local MP (well, same town, different constituency) was previously a councillor in London. Several hundred miles away.

@reformexposed @reformparty_uk And? The Labour MP for Livingston stayed in Tottenham before the last General Election. Useless in both locations.

Hi @reformparty_uk, can you confirm where your candidate Amanda Bland, Falkirk East and Linlithgow lives? Hearing she lives in Leicestershire.

@dan_wilkinson @reformexposed @reformparty_uk Wish it worked where I live; we have had councillors who lived in Scarborough and Ireland. Oh, and one emigrated to Australia!

@reformexposed @reformparty_uk They don’t learn do they. People are switched on nowadays and straight away you’re putting yourself on the back foot for the whole campaign. No one likes to vote for someone parachuted in, regardless of the political party you support

@THe4rtbe4t @Joanna__Hardy Really? Some comments I've seen and read online, I wouldn't trust the people making those statements to tell me the colour of the sky I'm looking at.

@Joanna__Hardy So. Is this a MURDER trial? AND. The key here is it's FICTIONAL. It's a television scripted example to push buttons. Have you actually served on a jury? It's not anything like "12 Angry Men". Judges in 1215 AD were ignorant as F. They NEEDED juries. Judges in 2026 are EDUCATED.

Hello, there 👋 Have you heard David Lammy MP and Sarah Sackman MP talking about people stealing bottles of whisky and swiping mobile telephones as examples of people who should not get jury trials? Well. I’d like to tell you a story. 🪡 🧵

@TomNiessenSr @LizKershawDJ Because it's a lot easier when they're no longer needed, plus don't pay into the generous pension, give the same generous terms, etc

@LizKershawDJ There are too many sad stories like this but unfortunately the standard financial modeling for third party service providers is 2/3 to the provider and 1/3 to the worker. What we should be asking is why the NHS is outsourcing when they should employ instead!

A seriously ill loved one currently needs carers to help him stay out of hospital and in his own home. They are all wonderful. They tell me they are paid just £12.50/hour. I have asked the private company that supplies their services what they charge the #NHS. It's £29.50/hour. This is blatant profiteering by them and piss poor management of resourses by the #NHS

@Son_Lyme @RStrongdoctor @afneil Wrong, try Northrop Grumman

@RStrongdoctor @afneil We can thank Rolls Royce for much of the 45's woes ...

Happy to be corrected by naval experts. But by my calculations the entire Royal Navy surface fleet of warships consists of: Two aircraft carriers Six Type 45 destroyers Seven aging Type 23s And of these 15 warships only three are currently active (soon to be four if HMS Dragon leaves port tomorrow. In any sensible estimation of deployable capability we don’t really have a Navy, do we?

@theoldeDrewster @RStrongdoctor @afneil If I remember correctly, it was part of the cooling system, a component of American origins? Rather than the whole ship itself.

@RStrongdoctor @afneil Perhaps dont buy ships from Manufacturers that sell vessels with dodgy propulsion

@RyanUSAMAGA @TheBritLad Cleaning duty?

@TheBritLad Why would inmates have access to bleach

🚨BREAKING: Rumours are circulating on social media that Axel Rudakubana was attacked early this morning by “two lifers” who forced him to drink bleach. This stems from unverified posts but widely shared on other social media platforms. IF TRUE, how would you feel about this?

@labourpress Whereas you're taxing everyone else more to cover the benefit bill for large families? Which is exactly the same, isn't it? Because he's all for lowering the tax bill of those with larger families, whereas you're just subsidising them?

Even worse, Reform's response suggests they think this is a good idea. Is this now Nigel Farage's policy?

Reform's extreme by-election candidate for Gorton and Denton wants to tax millions of childless women more for not having kids. This is insane 🤯 independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

@PerpignanFlyer @M_Shaw1 King was decent at Wigan. Maybe it's you lot that are the problem?

@M_Shaw1 I'd have him at Warrington over that lazy workshy git Toby King in a heartbeat

Some thoughts on the Mark Percival situation. loverugbyleague.com/post/st-helens…

@BrendanKel61812 @andie1105 @RhonddaBryant I didn't have to wait 11 months for a 'routine' hospital appointment, on a Saturday, under the Tories.

@andie1105 @RhonddaBryant I had a NHS medical consultation in November... On a Saturday. That was NEVER going to happen under a Tory government and certainly will NEVER happen under a reform government. Keep following your failure idols.

I’m absolutely shocked. Gobsmacked. Can hardly believe it. Who would have thunk that Reform would fill its ranks with the very people they say they despise, the failed Tories?

@TheReformer2024 @ElectionMapsUK Imagine winning a general election on under 34%...

@ElectionMapsUK Kind of insane to win any FPTP contest on 22.3% of the vote.

Leeswood (Flintshire) Council By-Election Result: ➡️ RFM: 22.3% (New) 🙋 Ind: 19.2% (-5.6) 🙋 Ind: 18.8% (+4.3) 🌹 LAB: 12.1% (-48.5) 🏘️ FPV: 11.0% (New) 🔶 LDM: 9.5% (New) 🌳 CON: 4.7% (New) 🙋 Ind: 2.4% (New) Reform GAIN from Labour. Changes w/ 2022.

@TheBritishIntel @SuellaBraverman That's been going on for years, if not decades

@SuellaBraverman Exactly. This is two-tier justice on full display – insiders get protected while ordinary people pay the price. Retiring instead of being sacked is a quiet cover-up, and the public can see straight through it.

Absolutely disgraceful. Two-tier justice in plain sight. One rule for the establishment and another for everybody else. This cannot be allowed to stand.

@Geosunshine1 @CountBiffa @BenObeseJecty @SpamInTheCan The rules only apply to directly elected PCC's. As the mayor of London isn't directly elected, it doesn't apply.

@CountBiffa @BenObeseJecty @SpamInTheCan Suggest you google “who is the police and crime commissioner for london”

Your regular reminder that Ant Middleton isn’t eligible to become the Mayor of London because he’s been convicted of an imprisonable offence and served a prison sentence. If you’ve bought his crypto coin “directly funding his 2028 London Mayor campaign”, I’d ask for a refund.

@BillDunblane @ReemAmirIbrahim So you're getting a similar amount to the living wage increase then.

@ReemAmirIbrahim A fantastic pay rise of just under £11 per week to £241. Won't even look at the increase in food and power charges, after working and paying tax and NI for a lifetime, never mind any luxuries. We took out a contract with the Government. How much do you get paid weekly? 🤔

State pension to rise by 4.8%, 1% ABOVE inflation. Pensioners get inflation-busting pay rises, and the rest of the country foots the bill.

@surinax @krassenstein You did; you said England are paying my fees (they don't, I do) I'm taking when I shouldn't (I don't I pay more tax than the government deserves from me, because they squander it).

@Dave__H_ @krassenstein I didn’t say you weren’t I said it’s the Scot’s who are getting it for free And again the devolution package wasn’t negotiated by an expert but an idiot

From a friend overseas: “Apologies if this comes across in a dickish way, but coming from a country with free healthcare including prescriptions, free college and university at world class institutions, 35 days paid holidays etc., I find it so sad that Americans get completely screwed by their government. The thing is, you could afford all this “free” stuff too if all your taxes weren’t spent on an outrageously huge military that keeps starting wars.”

@surinax @krassenstein Erm, first point - I'm English. Second point - Scotland dish out free prescriptions and uni fees, as is their right under the devolution agreement. They spend their money that way, we get shorter waiting lists (allegedly).

@Dave__H_ @krassenstein 🤣 Whats factually incorrect The English pay your college fees too You are taking when you shouldnt The will of the weakling that made that up is an idiot you can call it devolution I call it theft

@surinax @krassenstein And you shouldn't make statements that are factually incorrect. So there's that.

@Dave__H_ @krassenstein And ? It still shouldnt be at the expense of others .

@surinax @krassenstein Well known that Scotland dishes out free prescriptions and university as part of their devolution agreement. Much like Wales.

@krassenstein Scottish most get 20 days and no free college or prescriptions I find it sad that the UK government commits to spending on Ukraine So whoever wrote that was misled Trump stopped Zelenskys little games

@SNDCouncil @RupertLowe10 Wouldn't imagine it would be the doctors in the first place, TBH.

@RupertLowe10 Sorry dude, can't understand a word you're saying, I dont speak Bullshiterish. Worth noting, one of your region's hospitals, lost 21 Drs 3 weeks after the brexit results. They 'went home' due to the racist abuse that campaign triggered. Who's gonna wipe old white bums now? 🤣

A comment which sums up the mad delusion of many on the left. ‘Kindness’ can overcome migrant language issues in the NHS, I’m told. Good luck with that. I’ll go with the doctor who can actually speak English, thanks.

@Maxsia3 @Adejibo @RupertLowe10 @doctor_oxford Oh now you've done it. The anti-Sun brigade will be along shortly 😂

@Adejibo @RupertLowe10 @doctor_oxford Don’t be naive like Rachel.They were allowed to practice despite limited language skills. HOW is this possible?

NHS doctor here, Rupert. If you'd checked your facts before this racist dogwhistle, you'd know that every NHS doctor can speak English - as proven by their IELTS proficiency (look it up... or are you just a populist hatemonger for whom facts don't matter?). Kindness may not solve everything, but my God the hate you spew is builds nothing, improves nothing, and only stokes division.
