@martb1985 @StevenJonMiller I live in a small rural hamlet of 26 houses, 7 are/were rentals. 2, modest terraced 2-beds now empty and for sale for 6+ months. They still exist but nobody is living in them. 2 more will be up for sale when current tenants vacate.

@StevenJonMiller Supply isn’t lower the houses still exist.

Living HELL - as Landlords sell up because of Rayners Renters Rights Act, she has wrecked the lives of the working class. Rents are soaring as Landlords now sell their properties and kick tenants out, making supply lower.

@afneil The PM is conveniently attempting to justify what happened in the context of a ‘normal’ civil service led apolitical ambassador appointment. This simply wasn’t it was (exceptionally fo the UK) a completely political PM directed appointment.

Maybe. But that point would have better force if it could shown that Starmer effectively said — I want him ambassador even if he has flunked his vetting. But we don’t have any evidence of that. Starmer could plausibly argue that, of course he wanted Mandy appointed — but that in no way implied overruling UKSV’s refusal to grant him security clearance.

@LiamBones @LGACons @WillCalverleyUK @CCACllrs Out delivering Kemi’s latest newspaper in Cornwall yesterday and spotted a Birmingham City Council wheelie bin outside a house. Presumably it’s trying to claim refugee status.

Just bumped into Birmingham’s “Rat Man” 🐀 He says the bin strikes are getting so bad under Labour he’s thinking of standing for council! Apparently he’s the only one actually collecting anything in Brum. @WillCalverleyUK

@afneil Surely no earlier than a 1400hrs start to allow for travel time, also covered by the working time directive?

Only right to wait til Monday. Nobody likes working at the weekend — especially in the EU. Remember not to convene before 0900 — or you will be in breach of the working time directive. I know there are major geopolitical events afoot. But the EU must never forget to live up to its self-styled moniker as a ‘regulatory superpower’.

@sophielouisecc I agree, they aren’t ‘shadow’ anything, irrespective of if they are MPs, Lords or neither, there is only one official opposition and one ‘shadow cabinet’. As with other political parties they are their ‘spokesmen/women’ on a particular cabinet portfolio, nothing more.

Zia yusuf is not the shadow Home Secretary He’s not even an MP This is deliberately misleading. He ought to change it.

@sophielouisecc We Brits have always had a reputation for being pretty good at Olympic ‘sitting down’ sports. It seems that we also excel in laying down sports too❤️

They need to do the ultimate slidey team relay Women’s luge Women’s double luge Men’s luge Men’s double luge Men’s skelly Women’s skelly Monobob Two women Two man 4 man 4 women Who are the best slidey nation

@Edwards72Sue @McardleTrevor And incidentally is a 5 Star.

@McardleTrevor And King Charles is the head of the Armed Forces.

We have Major Generals Lieutenant Generals & Generals General would be the closest equivalent to the US ‘4 star General’ & we only have 4 - not 9

@sophielouisecc It’s a byproduct of populist politics. Whether on the left or right they attract the same oddballs.

Why are reform supporters so aggressive to other people on the right? Just chill out. Stop hurling insults and behaving like childish corbynites.

@AzatAlsalim I believe Queen’s Freddie Mercury was a Zoroastrian of Iranian descent.

Iranian girl states: "Islam is neither the religion of Iran nor that of ancient Persia, Islam was imposed on us through torture, massacres, and rape, by enslaving Iranians to convert them to Islam. The Iranians, or Persians, were actually Zoroastrians.”

@DeekoT83 @timdavies_uk @FUDdaily The structure has changed with a Station Commander now filling a role closer to that normally carried out by OC Admin. Smaller stations (like Wittering is now the Harriers have gone) will be overseen by a Group Captain on a larger station.

@timdavies_uk @FUDdaily Why is a Wing Commander a Station Commander?

This is precisely why I warned the RAF about them forcing diversity into the Service - because now some people will think that she's just a DEI hire.

@ChrisWLC @HuddlestonNigel @Conservatives You hit the nail on its head. I’m normally quite tolerant of people with differing political views to my own, but there is simply something about her manner that puts my hackles up!

@HuddlestonNigel @Conservatives I first saw her showing her true colours on TV during the May 25 local elections. Rude, unintelligent, arrogant, petulant & sulky. Deeply unpleasant woman, & that’s before you consider her fundamental lack of competence & honesty.

A fundamental dividing line between the @Conservatives and the left is on the issue of what the best route out of poverty is. We believe it's work not welfare. Bridget Phillipson and Labour disagree. So much so, that I got 'the hand' twice yesterday.

@Armand456082300 @Acyn @grok I guess if the cruise missiles it launches have a nuclear warhead technically yes.

Trump announces he has approved a plan to construct battleships while standing next to some renderings with of the Trump Class warships: They will be the fastest, the biggest, and by far, 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built…. They’re longer by a little bit

@1968Tv I’m more a rugby supporter and this video is precisely why, indeed men’s football probably deserves its own category in the Oscars! However, I found the women’s Euros refreshing to watch, none of the amateur dramatics, just entertaining football.

Football has gone, this is embarrassing!

@intel_lady I would say work on a Rachel from Accounts parody, however, you may struggle to find humour in her total absence of personality, anyhow, by the time you crack it, she’ll probably be history.

The first MP I ever parodied was Nadine Dorries. I was working on a parody podcast just before she left her position. So tempted to bring it back now 😆

@basilthegreat @intel_lady When satire becomes reality 🤦‍♂️

🚨Angela Rayner has been CAUGHT underpaying on Stamp Duty. She says she is considering RESIGNING Do you want to see her go?

@ric_cole Interesting resume on where it was thought you would be fighting a war! From the forests of Germany to the desert of Iraq to ‘I give up, but this should work in most places’😂

@tcamp202 British C130s use probe and drogue as I suspect do other NATO nations, also some helicopters do.

I love this photo of this KC-135 because it's unusual. The flaps are out, which means they're going slow. A-10s and C-130s are slow, but they don't use probe and drogue. I can't think of any slow probe and drogue recievers...

@thenewarea51 The question is, will she still qualify for a Martin Baker tie martin-baker.com/tie-club/

RAMBO 01 last week at KBAF 😮 Is it intentional when you eject from a F-15 that your seat goes to the left like this?

@kathywinton3 @ArchRose90 They didn’t enter illegally, which is why the item was in my view disingenuous. He’s a Masters student on a visa and she had a visa to visit him, so both entered the country ‘legally’ and are now seeking asylum. He was carefully selected for maximum sympathy.

@ArchRose90 I don’t care about him or his wife if they came over on a dingy- they came here illegally They should be in jail Not taking a stroll on my dime If his wife feels ‘ endangered’ -they can deport themselves

The BBC thought it was wise to platform an “asylum seeker” called Ibrahim, who claimed that due to the protests outside of the hotel, his “wife” is “feeling endangered” & “now rarely goes out to have a walk." Can they interview the local women & girls who no longer feel safe?

@TheBritLad Great, now just learn which way up to fly it🤦‍♂️

The local authority asked a British patriot to remove his flag because it was seen as disrespectful and offensive to his foreign neighbours. In response, he took his smaller British flag down and raised a larger one on his pole. Patriotism is on the rise in Britain.
