@LucyMPowell With sad news today of another restaurant folding in Mcr (TNQ after 22 yrs) what are ur thoughts on your governments destruction of hospitality? I trust in solidarity with us commoners you’ll now be pushing for end to subsidised drink/meals in Westminster?

Great to see @bbcquestiontime producing another Reform promo 2night from Dover re immigration. I thought cost of living & Hillsboro cover up inquiry more pertinent this week? But hey, I don’t work for r national broadcaster.

@Patrici89225734 His "judgement" is still online and was front page for yesterday and most of today. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… If the BBC is going down the same road as GB News offering opinions then they can be funded like GBNEWS.

It's raining today, which reminds me of this technique for reducing antisocial behavior.

@YeomanSally @VSNWnews @HSHVCA Inspiring speech, delivered with humour, making fundamental points about how we move the voluntary sector forward.

What a brilliant start to the day! Hearing from Deb Allcock Tyler from the Directory of Social Change & feeling inspired 🤩 to finish she quoted from George Bernard Shaw 🙌🏻💪🏼🫶 it’s spot on! ❤️ @VSNWnews @HSHVCA #VSNW25

Mentioning United Utilities can anyone explain how a company can double its profits in just one year, from £170m to £355m, and yet is still be allowed to increase prices by a whopping 32%? Yet again it's the customers who get played and the regulator @Ofwat sits back and allows it to happen. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

🚨Breaking 🚨 This is corporate extortion! Govt bans unfair bonuses - the water bosses threaten to put up salaries. 🤑 Govt imposes fines - the investors baulk and say they want a polluter's charter. 💩 Stop this game of regulatory cat and mouse. Public ownership NOW!

Just imagine what all those reform supporters/bots would be tweeting if this was Keir Starmer in top hat at Ascot. Nigel Farage is not a man of the people, does not represent the working class, don't be fooled.

BREAKING: An old video of Donald Trump is going viral for claiming then President Barack Obama will “start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.” Sounds like a message to himself!

We spent years doggedly uncovering the government’s cronyism during the pandemic, including Michelle Mone's dodgy dealings. Now she’s facing the High Court. About time. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…

What time is Chris Mason investigating where all the money went under 14 years of the Tories? #BBCBreakfast #R4Today

Well, well, well. Reform are to try to stop councils they control from contributing to the pensions of council workers. Needless to say, stopping pension contributions is entirely illegal. Not that the law matters anymore. @Nigel_Farage @reformparty_uk @TiceRichard

"Bidders demand Thames Water granted immunity over environmental crimes." So these are the kind of people we are dealing with. If you don't grant us immunity from prosecution we won't buy the company. Govt has but one response to this. Nationalise Thames Water and do it today but do they have the political courage? theguardian.com/business/2025/…
