Helen and David Brown

@Telegraph So what's bad about it? Closing a dodgy tax loophole that other countries have already done, and raising revenue for Britain.

Rachel Reeves has scrapped a tax rule allowing oil and gas companies to offset profits made in Britain against losses made by foreign subsidiaries 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

@StackersSenior @Telegraph And stating facts that may not fit your opinion allows you to call people 'silly'? Is that really necessary?

@Dbrown_beer @Telegraph Do not be a SillyHelen, Helen. Spend a moment with AI to understand the taxation benefit of private north sea production before posting. It is REALLY significant

Britain is paying Norway around £20bn a year for oil and gas, and that dependence is only expected to grow. Energy Editor Jonathan Leake explores how declining North Sea production, Labour’s stance on new drilling, and rising imports are fuelling concerns over the UK’s long-term energy security ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

@BladeoftheS Israel has the best intelligence system in the world. It knows the dirty secrets of all world leaders, north, south, east and west. And they know it. That answers all your questions.

Everybody knows this. Israel doesn't have the manpower. It doesn't have the arms manufacturing capacity. It doesn't have any resilience to attack due to its size. It could be very easily blockaded. It literally has nothing without the US.

@arusbridger As I get older, I have realized that key people in all parties all know the dodgy stuff about the others. They simply choose to 'leak' the info at critical times, either to distract from another issue or to change public perception at a critical time.

These are explosive allegations from Ben Habib. He says Farage and Christopher Harbourne should sue him if they are untrue. Will they ?

@RobertJenrick Jenrick massively distorting the truth again, but hey, honesty has never been his best policy. The facts are that its a regular street trading licence at a cost of £1007 for the initial year. This is standard across most councils, and cheaper than some.

Don’t let them eat cake! Just when you thought you’d heard it all from Labour, this happened… Labour run Bassetlaw District Council, which covers part of my constituency, is imposing a tax on people selling homemade cakes or fresh eggs from boxes at their front gates. They’ve set this absurd tax at an astonishing £1,007. Yes, you read that correctly, everyone who has the audacity to try to make a few quid from a bit of home baking, or offers boxes of fresh eggs, usually with an honesty box, has to pay Labour a stonking great fee for the privilege. As most people don’t even make £1,007 a year for doing this, presumably this is designed to end this harmless and in fact very endearing practice altogether. Honesty boxes, eggs, cakes, biscuits, sold at a farm gate or the end of the driveway in a rural village.. what could be more quintessentially English. Well, not under Labour. These people govern us as if they hate our country. To make the whole thing more absurd, the fine for failing to pay the £1,007 had been set at £1,000. So you would be better off not paying at all and get fined… I’ve written to Bassetlaw District Council to protest. Bassetlaw’s common sense Reform UK councillors are committed to reversing this idiocy if they take control of the council next year. Another reason to boot out Labour and back Reform UK. Has there ever been a more incompetent and out of touch group of people running our country than this Labour government and their town hall toadies?

@RobertJenrick This from the 2nd hand Tory who oversaw immigration and tried to help his mate dodge millions in tax?

4.6 million people wouldn’t have a vote today if Nigel Farage hadn’t fought for you in court and won. Labour and Tories were running scared. They failed the country and tried to deny you a choice. Use it. Vote for real change.

@Nigel_Farage I guess we can easily bribe him to deport himself. Then maybe the decent people in Reform will realize who their snake oil selling leader really was.

Nearly 200,000 illegal migrants have crossed the English Channel since this emergency began. My government will detain and deport every single one of them.

@Chris_OH58D Just saying.

I will challenge you. Name a better looking aircraft. You cannot do it!

@jimrobbins They don't realize the irony nor the meaning of our beautiful 'UNION' flag. Maybe Fartrage should do a history lesson on his TV show. While wearing his blackest shirt.

Appalled to see a Union Jack defaced with Reform UK and a swastika in Swindon. This symbol represents hatred and violence. Its use is deeply offensive and risks real fear and division in our community. There is no place for this anywhere. #StopReform

@TeresaC123 I was gonna do the nice thing and suggest that personal insults on appearance are a bit below the belt. But, he was the master at that (and still is), so fair game.

Just a reminder of the worst Prime Minister in living memory

@Nigel_Farage Surprised he remembered where Clacton is, somewhere in the US?

Spending the weekend campaigning across the Clacton constituency! ☀️

@TheRealJamieKay Churchill or Thatcher for interesting conversations. But they were (are) all a bit crap in their own way, so if the choice was any other, I'd take it.

Make your choice.

@reformaggedon And the image is fake. You have been reported.

@ChrisWrightson6 This is fake. Joanna is not amused.

@Pablo_Roma @reformparty_uk We have no decent politicians in any party currently, especially the c*ckwombling Lice and Fartrage. Britain isn't broken. It's politicians are.

Billionaire Christopher Harborne gave £5m to Nigel Farage and ~£15m more to @reformparty_uk, and also bankrolled Brexit. So a billionaire who doesn’t even live in the UK is funding decisions that hit people here? Whose side is that, exactly?

@Keir_Starmer But at least Polanski has the morals to apologize for errors, not apportion the blame on scapegoats.

Zack Polanski’s criticism of the police officers response to the Golders Green attack was disgraceful. He’s not fit to lead any political party.

@CetialphaVguy Yup. Timmy also gets my vote. The voice, the dimple and the slightest of Yorkshire accents. But I thought they were all good tbh. Even George.

The most under rated Bond movie of them all. Timothy Dalton is my 007 btw

@Keir_Starmer I'm still with a post that suggests that Israel has blackmail dossiers on all influential leaders, including the Arab nations. It answers a lot of questions when you think about it.

Watch my statement live. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@CetialphaVguy Do you expect me to talk? No Mr Bond. I expect you to die.

@Dbrown_beer Some great dialogue in that film but it's just baggy and feels played out.

Rewatched this for the first time in ages. Saw it at the cinema when it first came out. I thought it was overlong, over rated and didn't feel like Bond at all at the time. My opinion hasn't changed and Daniel Craig is a crap James Bond. Fight me.
