@RichardBentall Oh no people queuing up what a terrible thing. And not one person missed their flight

Just arrived at Pisa Airport. There was a very long and slowly moving queue of Brits (left)waiting to get through EU passport control. I hope most of them were leave voters. I was with my lovely Irish wife, and we passed through the EU channel in a couple of mins (right)

@TheRealJamieKay Wait, suddenly a deal with Australia is good? When we were doing a deal it was bad meat, full of injections and would bankrupt British farmers. Now it’s all good with a eu deal, what’s changed?

Well, they wanted Brexit! #BrexitReality

@NigelHeal @jessicamayclark Eu can’t be a bad actor I guess the EU pushing for Ukraine to join wasn’t the catalyst for the war there was it?

@jessicamayclark Just proves that the USA can be a bad actor, unlike the EU.

Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Heidi_Labour 20bn black hole in the budget suddenly 27bn for roads i bet labour members can't even lie straight in bed at night!

Today we have announced a huge £27 billion investment in our roads - one of the biggest ever investments in England’s road network. From fixing potholes to building major new schemes, this funding will be transformational for the drivers and businesses that rely on our roads every day. gov.uk/government/new…

@StuartofLeeds @bbcquestiontime How does he not understand the issue? How do you know it more than he does? Maybe he knows how others are affected in ways you don't. You don't sort issues by silencing people; everyone has a right to reply loud or meek in speech. but here you are trying to silence people fascist

Dear @bbcquestiontime Tom Skinner on Question Time is the BBC equivalent of inviting the loudest bloke in the pub because he “speaks his mind.” Great for viral clips, terrible for actual political debate. Skinner isn’t there to inform anyone — he’s there because he shouts, he mugs for the camera, and he trends. That’s it. No expertise, no depth, no grasp of policy beyond “common sense” clichés you could hear from a taxi rank at 2am. Putting him on Question Time doesn’t elevate the conversation. It drags the show down to the level of a breakfast‑TV soundbite factory. Every time the BBC hands a seat to a reality‑TV personality instead of someone who actually understands the issues, it proves the show cares more about engagement metrics than meaningful discussion. Not that this is surprising anymore! If the goal is serious debate, Skinner adds nothing. If the goal is cheap entertainment, just say that — and stop pretending it’s public service broadcasting. #bbcqt

@jessicamayclark Rejoin for what? Some believed an increase in trade, increased unemployment, higher taxes, more pressure on social welfare systems, lower wages, higher migrant workers. Oh but free travel, tell that to workers with 5 weeks paid leave per year!

@jessicamayclark @FurnessSmithC people have been saying that for many years, and when they don't want to repair the partnership even when we were members? whats the use?

@FurnessSmithC It’s a partnership that needs repairing you numpty skull cos your likes busted it. Silly twat!

@SoNowUknow2 @LadyRebecca_1 I agree there should be no postal voting for anyone other than people in the military based abroad If you can bring ID matching with utility bills, you wouldn’t even need photo ID but too many mainstream parties require underhanded votes to gain power need i say more

@DavidBall14 @LadyRebecca_1 Yes I agree. What I don't like is voting fraud. I truly believe it is rife in the UK. Not some piddly X poll fraud. Actual election fraud. The reluctance to limit postal voting. The resistance to Voter ID. If a party is benefitting from this fraud they will not fight to fix it

Updated poll to see if bots have hijacked the other one. Can you please consider my question and if you feel like voting please do. Q-To save the UK who would you pick to govern?

@MatthewStadlen No. It’s proof how these need for various forms of fuel are needed Wind and solar are not cheaper nor greener when the cost of infrastructure is included and how it’s made and where. Name a few countries where net zero delivers cheaper energy.

Can we all now agree that greenifying British energy is unbelievably important for both the cost of living and national security?

@SoNowUknow2 @LadyRebecca_1 We had this with a referendum and still people find issue with the results. Even today people tell others they voted wrong with their knowledge of why they voted at the end of the day everyone has the view everyone has their opinion like it or not that’s democracy

Yes but fewer people would see it. Imagine I deleted it. Then you (no offence intended- a stranger) came on and said "you deleted it because you don't like the result". Why would I care what you think? I would have achieved what I wanted. I am not trying to fix the results in my favour as I have no favourite. If Restore got in I would be happy. If Reform got in I would be happy. If Labour remained I would be unhappy.

@ohgawd20 @Jennyfurfuls Oh sorry people have their own opinions and minds. Please tell us how you feel the nation should vote to please you

@Jennyfurfuls I've been doing this for months and still they crop up 🫩

Anybody who posts that they've joined Reform or Restore will be blocked immediately. On account tof them being total dickheads!

@Jennyfurfuls Why. Instead of calling people names as a way to satisfy your ego to block people maybe you should try communicating to find central ground. But communication is beyond people who believe others should do what you desire. You have a closed mindset I feel sorry for you

@AntiEVidiots And you know what the difference is between a conspiracy theory and fact Currently somewhere between six and 12 months

I see chemtrail nuts are the new flat earthers.

@SoNowUknow2 @LadyRebecca_1 And if you did, that would just give more fuel to the fire and back up exactly what I said wouldn’t it?

@DavidBall14 @LadyRebecca_1 As I said the result is not important to me. Easy for me to delete the first poll if it was.

@Cpass12David Funny how every person who claims that Starmer is a great prime minister is linked to the labour party. If he was doing so well you wouldn’t have to be running defence for him would you. Just like when people were saying Biden had no issues when he clearly was screwed.

Starmer is now being recognised as a principled ‘anti-war leader’; one who anticipated the potential outcomes and stuck to his principles. Unlike his political opponents who rushed to scoring political points.

@SoNowUknow2 @LadyRebecca_1 Course not But it always seems to be the case whenever results are going against what’s deemed to be the current standard. Maybe like with EU membership people want what’s best for the native British not whoever turns up on our doorstep

@DavidBall14 @LadyRebecca_1 I don't want anything. The result is irrelevant to me. It is a poll on X and changes nothing. Tell me would you prefer bots to be used to flood a poll to give the result you want?

@SoNowUknow2 @AndyYates680 I have voted, maybe people feel strongly about it hence the fast voting. But that was the point given every time leave won polls during the referendum.

@DavidBall14 @AndyYates680 x.com/SoNowUknow2/st… The results are immaterial to me. It was the speed of the voting that seemed suspicious so I removed one of the parties. Both polls are still running. Don't you think if I did not like the result I would have deleted the poll?

@SoNowUknow2 @LadyRebecca_1 What the poll that shows a clear majority for restore that you state was hit by bots so you did another poll without restore? Ever thought that your putting personal need over actual facts. What you want isn’t always what the nation wants no matter how you spin it.

@LadyRebecca_1 It's in the other poll x.com/SoNowUknow2/st…

@TheRealJamieKay It’s okay Jamie, we have the recipes and can cook it ourselves. But this seems to be the basis for diversity is our strength. Funny you don’t beg for Hungarian migrants for your goulash isn’t it?

It’s AI - but hilarious.
