@ClaireCoutinho So Reeves had Soviet scheme to cap food prices, probably about as real as your proclaimed meat tax

Rachel Reeves finally realises that cutting taxes reduces costs for consumers.
Instead of her Soviet scheme to cap food prices, maybe now she’ll do the same for the Carbon Tax, the Fertiliser Tax, the Packaging Tax, the Jobs Tax…

@EstherMcVey1 It is a far flung fantasy.
Norway have a significant state ownership unlike the UK, where the Tories sold it off
English
One way out of the UK’s financial problems is to drill in the North Sea, to release the black gold under our noses and get money going into the exchequer. This isn’t a far flung fantasy, it is precisely what Norway is doing with its oil deposits in the North Sea which is making their country very wealthy and energy self-sufficient.
So typically, instead of doing just that, Miliband and Starmer are doing the exact opposite. As part of Labour’s Energy Independence Bill they are banning all new oil exploration and drilling licenses in the North Sea ‘to take control of our energy security’ and to be a ‘clean energy super power’ by 2030! Deluded.
These idiots are utterly deluded. When Starmer finally goes, is it too much to hope that Miliband is forced out too!

@Helen_Whately @CapX When someone claims over £30k for a 2nd home, whilst living within commuting distance of HoC, they lose any credibility when discussing benefits
English
Alarm clock Britain is sick of paying out for Benefits Street.
But Starmer bottled welfare reform - and Labour MPs won’t back it.
I write in @CapX 👇

@ZiaYusufUK You've become so used to getting away without any scrutiny, you wouldn't understand what balanced & impartial is.

@peterrhague @karlrgibson1 you even drive, a perfectly adjusted mirror has a blind spot

“Yield to us, despite having priority in this situation, or we might kill you”
Yes, cyclists can be annoying and self righteous. But in this situation the cyclist is 100% right and the driver 100% wrong.
I drive in Cambridge. You have to know how to turn left properly there.

In the face of serious injury or death, it’s amazing how their sense of entitlement outweighs their common sense. 🤦🏼♂️🚴♀️

@Nigel_Farage @RobKenyonReform I suppose when your sugar daddy hands you £5m, doing the job you elected to do, doesn't matter to you.
English
@RobertJenrick Keep telling yourself that Honest Bob.
It wasn't a hike, the reduction was due to end in April & postponed.
It was under review.
English
🚨It’s confirmed: Victory in Reform’s campaign to axe Reeves’s fuel duty hike.
But it’s only a stay of execution. She says she’ll increase it in December. Maybe she’s not expecting to be around then?
Well, Reform will scrap it altogether.
English
@chug3345 @2wheelsgoodBrum That's how I interpreted it.
I'm a cyclist, & I think the cyclist in the clip was an idiot.
Arrive alive and unijured
English
@2wheelsgoodBrum @Heilghast73 Do you want to try again Tim?
'Do not ride on the inside of vehicles signalling or slowing down to turn left'
English
Both cyclists and driver followed the Highway Code.
Both went successfully on their way.
Have I missed something?

@2wheelsgoodBrum @MarkMarksson In that illustration the vehicle has just overtaken the cyclist which is not what tge HC states.
In that case the motorist would be cutting across the cyclist.
English
@MarkMarksson @Heilghast73 It's not Mark. It's clearly intended to apply in the section on cyclists turning. That's why it's in the section on turning. That's because that's very high-risk.
It's not in the section in going straight on.
And H3 explains clearly what cyclist and driver should do.

@SarahForRuncorn If Burnham is using Makerfield as a stepping stone, how about those Tories elected in 2024 who jumped ship to Reform Ltd without calling a bi-election.
English
Andy Burnham is using Makerfield as a stepping stone for his own career.
Reform UK@reformparty_uk
This is the real Andy Burnham. He’s always been a part of the political establishment.
English
@CPhilpOfficial Starmer stated in PMQ's that existing sanctions remain in place and have no been changed. That this is a new set of sanctions which being phased in.
The problem I have is believing anything a Tory like you says.
English
Shamefully, the Govt is lifting sanctions on products derived from Russian oil
At the same time they’re refusing to open up new oil and gas in the North Sea
Labour and Ed Miliband are so fanatical they’d rather buy Putin’s oil than drill our own gov.uk/government/pub…
English
@mpmwilko @RobertJenrick Bravo, perfect timing, waiting for Honest Bob to pause

It was nice of the Tory defector @RobertJenrick to set me up for an obvious joke at his expense…

“For Andy Burnham, Makerfield will be a stepping stone, but for me it’s the only place I’ve ever wanted to represent”
- Reform’s Robert Kenyon
And that is all you need to know.
Burnham doesn’t care about Makerfield. Robert does.
English
@RobertJenrick @Nigel_Farage Wow, did you force a vote in the HoC with all your 8 MPs.
You forced nothing.
It wasn't a U-turn, the temporary reduction in fuel tax was due to end later in the year.
Due to the US/Iran war causing oil prices to soar, which your Ltd Co supported, the increase isn't going ahead
English
Did anyone doubt that @Nigel_Farage would force Rachel Reeves to u-turn?
Another win for Reform 💥
English
@AnthonyLiot @markrally @OctopusEnergy If you are too much in credit, you can request it back.
Alternatively you could reduce your DD accordingly.
Never had a problem with Octopus when I was with them, only left due to a much better Eco7 tariff.
English
@markrally @OctopusEnergy Every time they try and up my direct debit I go onto the app and reduce it. Am still way in credit but never get an email saying my direct debit is going down 🤔
English
Hi @OctopusEnergy - I’ve emailed you about your ‘suggested’ near-doubling of my monthly Direct Debit that I can’t change on the app. Please could someone check and get back to me?
English
This is welcome news for drivers struggling with rising costs.
It’s staggering it took so long for Labour to admit raising fuel duty would be another blow for families across the country.
Yet again we have forced Labour to do the right thing. That is responsible opposition.

@SuellaBraverman I'll never trust anyone who thinks removing people's rights is a great idea.
English
Shoulda, woulda, coulda.
And when I urged him to use his position as PM to leave the ECHR so we could stop the boats, he refused.
He couldn’t even bring himself to put it in the Tory manifesto.
Yet he kept promising the British people that he would do ‘whatever it takes’!
Never trust the Tory Party.
David Frost@DavidGHFrost
It's no good complaining now. Rishi Sunak had every chance to set out a vision during his two years as Prime Minister. The Tory Party would absolutely have got behind a properly conservative view. Instead we got nothing for a year, & then A-level reform and the smoking ban.
