YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP. Today Nigel Farage said the government should cut the minimum wage for young people ...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business" It's £10ph FFS! Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger DO YOU SEE IT NOW? Spread far & wide. bylinetimes.com/2025/11/03/nig…

Which property? You’re going to have to narrow it down.

Jonathan gets it, how come govt doesn’t?

@L15per I am angry, disappointed, in despair ! Was never a great Starmer fan - but I'm a Democrat. Yes mistakes have been made - but he owned them & much good stuff has never hit the headlines. His strength & resilience is impressive. The MSM have much to answer for.

Tomorrow, we should stand WITH the government, WITH the Metropolitan Police, AGAINST the fascist drunks and hooligans who will urinate their way from Euston to Whitehall in support of an insurrection fantasy - a moment of peril for our democracy...

I hope Poland will have learned a valuable lesson. The USA is no longer an ally of Poland and Europe. @donaldtusk

Pretty easy today to spot the nazis on here, they are the ones demanding the Met Police allow far right thugs to smash up London tomorrow.

Fiona Bruce asks if we should get closer to the EU "even if it costs £1 billion a year" Labour's Jenny Chapman, "We need to trade off any financial contributions with the benefit to the UK economy and businesses here" And it's as simple as that, you pay to be a part of a club and then you get the club benefits You don't get the club benefits without the membership fee And the reason why clubs work is because they give benefits beyond the cost of the fee

I wonder how the voters of Makerfield feel about being used as a pawn in a game of political chess- played out hubris driven ambition. They trusted Josh Simons with their vote. He tossed that trust aside to enable betrayal of Manchester voters. Dirty politics - to unseat a PM.

Gent in green, "I think the UK should join the EU" "The UK will be a stronger country inside the EU in terms of economic growth, defence and trade' "So I'm in favour of rejoining the EU"

The Guardian has released a statement after Nigel Farage posted a photo of one of their photographers' press passes, implying that a photojournalist threatened his safety: "The Guardian is concerned by the recent publication on Nigel Farage’s social media pages of the professional credentials of a photographer working on behalf of the Guardian while he was working lawfully in a public space. Holding public figures to account is the role of a free press. "As part of the Guardian’s journalism covering Nigel Farage’s purchase of a £1.4m property in cash shortly after receiving a £5m personal gift, a photographer took pictures from a public path and showed his press card when asked to identify himself." theguardian.com/gnm-press-offi…

My husband, a Mancunian, is having a right laugh as reporters who rarely leave Westminster slowly realise Makerfield is in the borough of Wigan not Greater Manchester.

There is something immensely undignified about a man who wasn’t part of Labour’s landslide victory now attempting to win a by-election so that he can challenge the Prime Minister who won that landslide less than two years ago. Meanwhile government is hamstrung and the country looks on as a bystander to the chaos.

Surprise, surprise. Since Andy Burnham launched his leadership bid, the cost of government borrowing has reached its highest level since 1998.

The only economy of a size to compete with these two behemoths is the EU. It doesn't always leverage well the geopolitical power that comes with its size. But the EU is the only game in town. So UK should be in it, for our own sake and to further reinforce Europe on world stage.

“Don't swim' at 12 of 14 river bathing sites, as more locations announced.” Here’s something to wrap your head around. The only stretch of river graded as ‘Good’ is at Friars Meadow, Sudbury yet from 13th March to the 13th April Anglian Water dumped sewage into Friars Meadow nonstop 24 hours a day for 31 days straight. If you went swimming there during the Easter holidays you were probably swimming in human waste but none of it shows in the data because the EA don’t even bother testing until the middle of May. PS the EA don’t actually test any bathing site in the country for most of the year 7 and a half months in fact. You go swimming between 1st Oct one year and 15th May the next you’re on your own. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
