Tesco CEO Ken Murphy’s pay stands at nearly £10m a year = £27,400 a day and doesn’t pay a penny in tax to the UK
He earns 430 x the average Tesco employees who pays tax
That doesn’t seem fair to me

@MayorOfWY another day and another bus that hasn’t turned up 14:58 Shay Lane to Wakefield 195 Service
Honestly you and your organisation can’t even get a trip of Arriva now so forget about new electric buses and trams
Do you get and analyse performance data at all??
Shambolic

@kazzaloveslife What do you mean “a poor person food” you condescending tw*t?

@RobertJenrick Oh shut the f*ck up will you
It was the Tories under Thatcher that gave the profits to energy companies
It was the Tories who sold our Utility Companies to their mates
It was the Tories who sold off social housing
It’s why this Country in in such a mess
It’s you lot
Now f*ck off

Britain has paid Norway over £100 billion for gas since 2021.
For gas they’re drilling in the North Sea, the same sea Ed Miliband has banned new drilling in on the British side.
Madness.

@brtankz Don’t be silly, you know Council Tax covers more than bin emptying 🤡
English
Council tax is insane, ppl won’t understand until they move out 😪 £250 a month for you to empty my bins every Fortnite and not fix the roads

Madison B says she left her place in Shoreditch after finding out she had to pay council tax 😭 She received a letter through the post saying she owed £8k in council tax and thought it was fake 💀 In some areas in London, the council tax can be up to £4976 per year 😭

@FurkanGozukara @DeborahMeaden That will never happen will it
The rich will make sure of that

The UK is considering an American style global tax regime. If you move to zero tax havens like Dubai, you will still be forced to pay British income tax for the privilege of holding a UK passport and getting embassy protection. The tax loopholes might finally close.

@WilliamBarter1 @EricTrump He doesn’t
He’s slagged off most Countries in NATO and disrespected our Servicemen and Women who fought side by side with the Americans and other Countries in Afghanistan
That was unforgivable 😡
English
@EricTrump You fucking idiot. At Pearl Harbour, Japan was an enemy. Now it is a friend. You treat enemies and friends differently. Don’t you?
English
🤣🤣
One of the great responses to a reporter in history!
JAPANESE REPORTER: Why didn't you tell Japan before the Iran war?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Why didn't you tell ME about PEARL HARBOR?!"
"You believe in surprise much more-so than US!"

@Asm1944 @steve220459 An XC Train Manager told me “they” changed the rule from a member of staff in each portion (so Train Manager in 1, buffet car staff in the other) to a Train Manager in each one
Hence shortage of staff, packed 4 coaches and the other locked and empty being dragged around

8 cars but 4 shut off, reason given - insufficient staff!

I have made it a personal rule not to criticise the railway on this means. They have a hard enough job as it is. But for Pete’s sake, who at the DfT imposed 4 car units on Cross Country Trains? Still, great camaraderie in my corridor connection amongst my fellow sufferers 😁

@BillHud53119972 @CatHobbs I’m talking about the £bns spent since 1996
English
Huge missed opportunity that these new trains will not be owned by ScotRail
They are being leased by Beacon Rail which is owned by JP Morgan Asset Management
Rolling stock is the most profitable bit of the railway
Scotland should own its own trains!

@Leonard73714140 Hey America, when you INVADED Afghanistan and Iraq in the early 2000s you invoked Article 5, becoming the only nation in NATO history to do so. We lost 400 soldiers in a war that was just as shambolically planned as this one only to be told we did fuck all precisely 1 month prior
English
@BillHud53119972 @CatHobbs They certainly made every £1 count.
If they had been showered with the £bns that have gone into the railway since privatisation, I wonder what sort of railway we would now have?
Certainly one with more electrified lines
English
@Gmcswineyyy @TomBluderson3rd @afneil And? The Americans demanded payment in advance, we shipped gold over there
They also demanded our technology was sent over there too.
Totally mercenary
Churchill wrote in his memoirs that when he heard the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbour he slept well that night
English
@TomBluderson3rd @DevonJ58 @afneil Educare yourself, Have a look at a tv series made in Britain called The World At War, it's on YouTube.
English
You have a weak and tendentious grasp of history.
We were never a few months away from ‘being a German colony’ after the Battle of Britain (which did not involve America).
Churchill made clear his endgame from the start: Total Victory.
Germany declared War in USA. That’s what brought USA into the European theatre of war.
FDR agreed with Churchill’s endgame.
M🌪@22blanco22
People harping on end game make me boil. You guys were few months away from all being a German colony if not for the American. And they’ve kept the peace through the NATO alliance an even having boots on ground in almost every country. Churchill and penning weren’t talking about endgame when they were begging FDR for help and if not for the japanese actions at pearl harbour, Americans won’t be joining the war.
English
@TomBluderson3rd @afneil They insisted on payment in gold for the materiel they supplied and if Japan hadn’t caught them all asleep in Pearl Harbour they probably wouldn’t have joined us in fighting the Germans
But they happily took our Empire reserve funds and technology. Special relationship? My *rse
English
America provided the high octane fuel used in the Battle of Britain. We also provided a small contingent of pilots. After the UK ran out of money (because of the costs around the Battle of Britain), the US switched to Lend-Lease in order to keep supplying the UK with food, weapons, fuel, etc...

@David__Osland 1 rule for Labour, a different one for the Tories and Reform 🤬

It's a good job Richard Tice wasn't badly advised on the sale of a house before he became an MP, because he'd be in for two weeks of hostile Daily Mail front pages then

@BadWritingTakes @IndiaWilloughby So many men with an opinion on trans women when it doesn’t affect them 🤷♀️
English
Genuinely incredible to hear a trans person actually getting a tiny window to speak within the British media

Stephanie is absolutely amazing at how she puts things across. This is only a snippet… the full interview is fabulous. Well done, Steph!

@DeuSisOM @BadWritingTakes Where’s your evidence for that?
English
@BadWritingTakes Oh now they are saying the detransition rate is 3% not 1%. They know it’s higher it’s probably like 75%.
English
@GazTheJourno Perhaps they were advised by Donald Trump?
He filed for bankruptcy on several casinos he owned apparently. That’s about the same level of financial incompetence surely?

NCP, one of the country's largest car park companies, has crashed into administration.
PWC, the administrator, says "a sale of all or part of the business will be explored as one of the options to secure the best outcome for creditors".
