Gen Z are turning to the Book of Common Prayer spectator.com/article/gen-z-… Good news for Easter.

@SteveShovlar Actually it is the EU that is dead, or at least in its death throes. They're desperate to have the UK back as the only way it can be saved
English
PM Kier Starmer doesn’t need to call a Brexit referendum. The whole country knows Brexit is dead and is holding us back as a nation. Most who voted to leave are now pushing up daises while the rest are Farage type numpties.
Rejoin, it’s a huge vote winner!
English
@OperaSocialist It would be an immoral brech of trust, as you well know.
English
Starmer needs to commit to join the EU Single Market and Customs Union immediately.
It would be overwhelmingly popular and significantly improve the UK economy.
#Brexit has failed.

@ReemAmirIbrahim Pensioners are not being funded by anyone but themselves through many years N/I contributions.
English
The state pension costs working-age Brits over £150 billion a year.
Is it fair for young people to pay the highest tax burden in British history to fund every single pensioner?
Especially when 25% are millionaires?

Andrew Neil has launched an ill-advised attack on Zack Polanski by accusing the Green Party leader of 'dancing around like a demented numpty' 👀 #Echobox=1774888464-2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/25981486.…

@afcb_J Indeed. The omission of Alex Scott has been proven to be a terrible mistake on the part of Tuchel @officialFA

@DavideSimonett2 Keep your vile insults about those with whom you disagree to yourself
English
I’m glad we’re slowly undoing the damage caused by the Brexiter wankers, the sooner we become a full member of the EU again the better!

The UK will rejoin Erasmus Negotiations are starting for the UK’s entry into the European electricity market and participation in EU cohesion policy This is a victory for everyone who believes in cooperation and a shared future between the UK and the EU We’re not stopping here
English
@Suewilson91 Yes, just look at Spain and its large-scale power failures: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Iber…
English
So fed up with this bollocks.
North Sea gas/oil is not the answer.
Renewables are.
Just look at Spain.
Mel Stride@MelJStride
Not drilling the North Sea - when Norway is doing exactly that - is absolute lunacy. It’s costing jobs, it’s costing tax revenues, it’s making the economy weaker and it’s damaging our energy security. We MUST Scrap Net Zero dogma. Drill the North Sea. Axe the Fuel Tax Hike. Put Britain first 🇬🇧
English
@TedUrchin It would also be an immoral breach of trust. But then people like you don't do morality, do you?
English
Call another referendum to rejoin the EU. Simple.
It would make sense on so many fronts.
Economically.
Militarily.
Culturally.

Britain faces serious challenges on multiple fronts. What would you most like to see Keir Starmer and his government do?
English
@DaleVince No, we wouldn't want anything to come in the way of the millions you have made and are making out of the climate scam.
English
I’ve been saying two things in response to the fossil fools calling for more drilling in the North Sea - both are cutting through. First is we don't set the price of our own North Sea oil and gas, second is we have very little left, around 10%. More drilling can't help us with this energy (price) crisis and the idea of some kind of oil self sufficiency for Britain is a fantasy. Now comes this revelation - the hundreds of licences the Tories issued, over a 14 year period, in pursuit of this fantasy - resulted in just one months worth of gas being produced. The reality is starkly different to the fantasy Farage and Badenoch would have us believe.

📢 🇮🇱 UNCONTESTED TRUTH:
ISRAEL IS A TERRORIST STATE!
- Israel was a idea slapped together in just 5min by a few old bored British men
- Israel commits genocide on LIVE tv and still play the victim.
- Israel was part of 9/11.
- Israelis rejects Jesus Christ.
- Israelis spit on Christians.
- Israel secretly infiltrated the U.S. government and now controls The United States.
- Israel kills reporters for speaking the truth.
- Israel is slowly killing free speech in the Western World.
- Israel hates the world population because they believe they ALONE are God's chosen people.

@williamnhutton Ed Miliband is nothing but an obsessed lunatic.
English
Ed Miliband gets relentless bile from the right for his ‘ideological’ commitment to clean, cheap renewable energy - just as Nye Bevan once did for creating the NHS. Yet on March 25 97.7 % of our electricity was from renewables. A revolution is unfolding. observer.co.uk/news/columnist…

@ElizAthertonSop If you want a bit of respite from that crazy world do take 5 mins off and have a glance at my newly redesigned website. I’m delighted with it.
English
@EarlyMusicWorld Indeed Brian. Every time I think the world can’t become more crazy, it does. What a time to be alive. 😔

It’s so long since I created a post, I can barely remember how to do it! But here are #SixOnSaturday now we have a little colour in the #Garden and a little #Sunshine. ☀️
English
@Heccles94 No, you are a communal Trojan horse and a danger to true British society
English
@ElizAthertonSop @HeidiBachram They are a communal Trojan horse. Ostensibly all love and anti-hatred they will destroy what is left of the true Britain if allowed to.
English
@HeidiBachram Do these people not realise that they are partly responsible for the current popularity of the very party that they despise so much? Just seeing this motley crew is enough to send many people running very fast in the opposite direction as far as their legs will take them.
English
The ‘Together against the far right’ march was fronted today by Jeremy Corbyn. A man who led the Labour Party to become legally ruled against as discriminating against Jewish members. They say “this is what community looks like”. I say no thanks.

@helloKi30596224 And of course you still believe in Father Christmas?

22% and rising.

Phil Jones@Phil_Jones01
I’m one of the 22% who think @Keir_Starmer is the most capable Prime Minister. But I also realise that’s not good enough for @Keir_Starmer and I know he won’t rest until at least 15% more to come around to thinking he is the most capable Prime Minister.
English
Happy to say Malcolm, that at 78 I totally cancel out your sad, old fogey view of our fantastic country. Fortunately, we now have a reasonable, sensible, pragmatic Gov, that’s fighting to get us back to our place in the world, instead of using us as a cash cow for dodgy mates.
Malcolm Hay@MalHay
I'm 78, I've seen many governments come & go over that time & never seen such a disastrous PM & government so totally out of their depth, sowing the seeds of division destroying our lives culture & country I just pray I live long enough to see a new light dawn on this country 🇬🇧
