@Lord_Talbot64 😩FFS get these l—g Labour 🤡🤡out🤮

Supermarket profit margins are wafer-thin, typically 2-4% operating, with the entire food chain (farmers + processors + retailers) making just 1-2% net. Calling them a “ripoff” is pure political theatre that ignores basic arithmetic and how shops actually work. Look at the numbers. On a typical £20 basket of everyday items (bread, milk, eggs, chicken, veg, etc.), the whole UK food industry, from farm gate to till, pockets about 29p in profit. That’s it. Retailer margins have narrowed since 2020 even as prices rose, because costs (labour, energy, fertiliser, transport) rose faster. Tesco’s operating margin sits around 4-5%; Sainsbury’s closer to 3%; discounters like Aldi and Lidl often under 3%. These are high-volume, low-margin businesses in one of the most competitive grocery markets in Europe. Public perception is wildly off. Surveys show people think supermarkets make ~50% margins. Reality is a tenth of that. Fierce competition (especially from discounters) has kept UK grocery prices among the lowest in Western Europe. When global shocks hit, like the current Iran war driving up oil, shipping and fertiliser, costs flow through the chain. Absorbing every penny indefinitely is not an option. Shops need profit to survive. Profit is not “greed”; it is what pays for wages, pensions, store maintenance, logistics, new technology, supplier relationships, and the ability to keep shelves stocked during disruptions. Zero or negative margins mean closures, fewer jobs, thinner ranges, and eventually higher prices once the competition thins out. Governments that treat any positive margin as evidence of “ripping people off” are revealing they do not understand how retail (or any private business) functions. John Healey’s warning that he “will not allow supermarkets to rip you off” and promises of hands-on intervention may play well for headlines, but it risks the classic political mistake: confusing cost-push inflation with profiteering. Regulators already have powers. The data shows no systemic gouging. Threatening intervention while costs rise simply adds uncertainty and discourages investment. If politicians want lower food prices, focus on the real drivers, energy policy, labour costs, regulation, and supply-chain resilience, not on pretending that businesses operating on a couple of pence in the pound are somehow fleecing the nation. Shops that cannot make a profit do not stay open. That is not ideology; it is how the real world works.

The High Court has ruled that trans women must be strip-searched by a biologically female police officer if requested, following a landmark Supreme Court decision that defined "woman" under equality laws as referring to biological women only. This ruling overturns previous policies that allowed trans women with gender recognition certificates to be searched by female officers. So they're putting the feelings of men with mental health issues above the safety and rights of women? Why? What gives them the right to dictate the situation? It's completely backwards, and I'd be very interested to know exactly which police chiefs signed off on this madness.

You don’t need to repent Archbishop for the slave trade, just give thanks to the British Empire for ending it and sacrificing so much to stop it. 🙏🇬🇧❤️ The Good Lord is very grateful for that, I can assure you.

🚨BREAKNG: Rupert Lowe says White British must NEVER become a minority in the UK "It is projected White Britons will become a minority by 2063. It is unacceptable and it cannot be allowed to happen." This is our home

Lady FREAKS OUT as her illegal husband is caught by ICE. LOTS of SCREAMING and TEARS. I don't feel badly for her. Instead I feel badly for the parents of Laken Riley, who lost their child needlessly.

@VividProwess 🤔

This is the massive border between Gaza and Egypt. One of the most well-fortified walls, with 7 layers of razor wires, walls, and fences, just to make sure not a single Palestinian gets inside. I wonder why Egypt doesn't want them?

A Prayer for the People of Spokane, Washington Heavenly Father, We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up the people of Spokane and the surrounding communities of Eastern Washington. Lord, You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. In this season of intense heat, critical fire weather, and active wildfires that threaten homes, land, and lives, we ask for Your divine protection over every resident. Shield those under evacuation orders, those who have already lost property, and all who remain in harm’s way. Calm the winds, restrain the flames, and grant wisdom and courage to the firefighters, first responders, and emergency personnel laboring tirelessly to protect life and property. Father, comfort the displaced and the anxious. Provide safe shelter, provision, and peace that surpasses understanding for every family affected. Strengthen community bonds so that neighbors may support one another in practical and spiritual ways. Soften hearts toward You, that many may turn to Christ for lasting hope amid uncertainty. We intercede also for civic leaders, medical teams, and all who serve in this crisis. Grant them clarity, endurance, and favor. Watch over the elderly, the vulnerable, children, and those with limited means of evacuation. Lord, we trust in Your sovereign care. May Your presence be near to every household in Spokane this day and in the days ahead. Restore what has been lost according to Your will, and let Your name be glorified through the resilience and faith of Your people. In the mighty name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

Spain 🇪🇸 “Pedro Sánchez, son of a b****!” And millions of Jews would agree. Our compass is simple: how people treat us.

@RachelD1892 AB🤡

This is the terrible state that fake PM Burnham has reduced our politics to. Record taxation, immigration crisis, economic stagnation, international conflict, coat of living crisis, youth unemployment. Burnham gives us baps.

After watching the invasion of Spain, I am glad that President Trump was building a second border wall. Anything to deter illegals coming through.

OXFORD UNION STUDENT THREATENS ROBINSON A student at the Oxford Union has told @TRobinsonNewEra he's lucky security is present, otherwise pro-Islam supporters outside would "beat him to death." This threat comes after the Union voted in favour of Islam when Robinson asked members to condemn child execution, paedophilia and protect human rights. When students at one of the world's most prestigious universities threaten violence to defend religious extremism, it shows how completely our institutions have been captured by radical ideology.
