@HarleyShah Why do MP need to be subsidised at all for food & drink, all at cheap rates. People in care homes & hospitals do not get this level. Its a scam

We're paying for MPs on £100k to have £9 ribeye steak looool

@HarleyShah Nice for the privileged

I don’t want a city on Mars. I don’t want AI in every app. I don’t want data centres in space. I don’t want humanoids or flying cars. I want clean water. I want a stable climate. I want bees to survive. And a habitable planet.

@Hepworthclare Not a loyalist bit I believe it was a fantastic speech, he taught them lessons, historical moments, insulted them, praised them without most in the room realising what was implied. A master stroke that Trump especially could not match. In reply Trumps was a disaster in comparison

And so it begins - as we knew it would. President Trump's "take" on conversations he's has with the King - regarding Iran and Ukraine. #BBCnews According to Trump, the King's view is US recomendations should have been followed. A flight of fancy from a fantasist.

Trump lying about what the King had said was always going to happen, he was always going to lie to undermine Starmer. Its how He operates & everyone would know that. Not a shocker media outlets

@Hepworthclare His cult, those using the brain cell today may have seen the nuances of the speech but I doubt it

@Hepworthclare Was always going to happen, serial liars will always lie

@implausibleblog Such a dickhead

President Trump, "Last fall, Melania and I had the pleasure of visiting their Majesties at Windsor Castle, a structure that's so beautiful and so long that it never seemed to end" "I, uh, looked down as a former real estate person, and it just went on forever" "And it was built by a gentleman named William the Conqueror in the year 1070" "And I asked the king, I said, was he a nice man, William the Conqueror?" "He said, I tend to doubt it. I don't think so" "When they call you William the Conqueror, generally speaking, you're not going to be too nice. But he must have been something, because it was nothing like I've ever seen Windsor Castle" "But, uh, tonight, in return, we are really doing something that's very special. Preparing to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence. A big time in our country. Very big time"

@chrisshipitv I think there was a lot of gritted smiles, they may clap but I bet they did not like a history lesson with facts, they want to make up their own history it plays to the cult better

He did it politely and diplomatically but King Charles just reminded Congress: • NATO was there for USA after 9/11 • British Troops did fight in Afghanistan • Ukraine needs our help now • executive power must be subject to checks & balances • ice-caps are melting • America’s natural wonders need protecting

@RpsAgainstTrump I'm sure many are seething with rage through false smiles, how dare he school Americans on history. They will make up their own thanks

King Charles reminds Trump and MAGA that NATO invoked Article 5 for the first time after 9/11, when all alliance members came to the aid of the United States. “Today, Mr. Speaker, that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine and her most courageous people,” the king said, receiving a standing ovation🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇦

@Hepworthclare They want him elected its quite obvious, why is another reason, to see him fail perhaps & create more ridiculous headlines 🙄

Slept late (for reasons I won't bore you with) tuned into #r4today & caught the fag end of an interview with Farage. Hell's teeth ! It was like listening to two blokes - after a match - having a chat over a pint. Quite different to the mauling dished out to Labour MPs.

@RpsAgainstTrump It will get thrown out

Fox News legal analyst Andy McCarthy blasts Trump’s DOJ prosecution of James Comey over a seashell “86 47” Instagram post: “There was not a threat of violence against the president, much less an unambiguous call for his assassination. Nor would it be remotely possible, on the known evidence, to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Comey intended violence… This farce, then, is nothing more than a continuation of Trump’s lawfare campaign against a political enemy. It is inconceivable that Comey could be convicted of a crime in these circumstances, but the president’s minions are putting him through the anxiety, expense, and stigma of the judicial process. This includes acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who is under pressure to prosecute Trump’s enemies and hopes to have the “acting” designation removed from his title.”

@Hepworthclare Future leader Material ??

Brilliant speech. I've been watching him very carefully since his time at the Treasury - where he was also superb.

I suspect Reform will do well but maybe not a bad thing in the end as people at a local level will see just how bad they really are at running a council when they try to cut services & line their pockets

@ianssmart Its election time they see another crack in the door so drive more wedges in. Typical politics these days not about actual policies just wold hysterical shouting & more lies

The Mandelson affair is reaching the point of absurdity. His appointment was a mistake, the process was cocked up, he has been sacked. That is the end of it. Yet the Tories keep flogging a dead horse and the press playing along because it is a good (rather than real) story.

@atrupar I think a lot went over their heads

standing ovation after King Charles sings the praises of NATO and says "that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine"

Trump already twisting Charles words to suit his narrative, liars got to lie

@officialcufc Let's make the place rock come on guys Wembley is waiting

Almost 10,000 tickets sold 🤩 Secure your place now. Don't miss out.

@implausibleblog They did not need a nuclear bomb they just trashed the world economy instead you moron

President Trump, "From the trenches of World War I to the beaches of Normandy, from the frozen hills of Korea to the scorching sands of North Africa and the Middle East" "And we're doing a little Middle east work right now, two of you might know, and we're doing very well" "We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we're never going to let that opponent ever, Charles agrees with me even more than I do" "We're never going to let that opponent (Iran) have a nuclear weapon"
