Why is the @coinbase app so dreadful? I’m new to crypto so I’m nervous - I’ve never yet had an @coinbase transaction go smoothly - can’t log in, try later, purchase failed etc etc. online support useless and slow. Need to move to 212 or somewhere if I’m going to invest properly.

@connor_naismith Cake anyone?

War is raging across the world sending shockwaves that hit the living standards of our constituents. Yet the Tories have us spending 11 hours in the HoC debating process and minutae that does nothing to reflect the priorities of the British people in these times of crisis.

@AVFC_Connor_ Emery probably best - though there’s an argument for Ron or John Gregory. Not O’Neil - bottler. Difficult to compare different generations but Hitchens, Little, Cowans and Platt must be in with a shout.

Aston Villa all time premier league XI Thoughts? #AVFC

@Ed_Miliband Setting the ‘green energy’ debate aside - surely it would make sense to extract oil/gas from the U.K. North Sea and raise £billions in tax for welfare, defence etc rather than to raise taxes to buy the same stuff off Norway.

You can’t solve a fossil fuel crisis by doubling down on fossil fuels. The only route to energy security is clean homegrown power that we control.

@AlastairMorgan Yes - and they were. I remember saying when Starmer was hounding Johnson “You’d better be squeaky clean or this will come back to bite you”. He wasn’t and it has.

Can you ever imagine Boris Johnson or Nigel Farage being subjected to the vicious media savaging that the PM has just been subjected to?

@UKLabour Waiting lists went up as a result of Covid. The last government wasn’t responsible for times going up and the present government isn’t responsible for them coming down

With Labour, the number of patients waiting for treatment is down...again.

@Keir_Starmer As you took credit for the opening will you now be taking responsibility for it being closed again?

It’s good news that the Strait of Hormuz has now reopened. This must be a long lasting and workable solution, without tolls or restrictions on routes. Today we announced our joint plan with France and other international partners to protect freedom of navigation. We need to see a return to peace and stability, and a permanent ceasefire.

@ukhomeoffice @Richcanvas When?

Coming to the UK from overseas is a privilege, not a right. Any foreign national with a history of crime and violence is not welcome. If you pose a risk to our country, you will be refused entry or removed.

@YvetteCooperMP And you’ll be doing what?

In my Mansion House speech, I made clear: the Strait of Hormuz must be fully reopened, without restrictions or tolls. The blocking of this vital waterway is hitting trade around the world and prices here at home. Freedom of navigation means navigation must be free.

@Keir_Starmer Your focus is, and always will be, on trying to get re-elected.

My focus is, and always will be, the British national interest.

@ember_energy That’s really great news! Just one thing -why is the price of fuel through the roof and we have the highest energy bills of any G20country?

Britain is now better insulated from gas price shocks than it was during the 2021–2023 energy crisis thanks to a buildout of solar and wind – which helped cut gas generation 🧵 ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

Blimey -we’ve had an Easter message from Angela Rayner but not the king.

@Kate_Dearden Enforced pay rises with no increase in productivity = business closures = more unemployment. This is basic stuff.

Today, 2.7 million workers are getting a pay rise. Increases to the National Minimum and Living Wages mean full-time workers could earn up to £1,500 more this year. As Minister for Employment Rights, I’m proud to help deliver this ➡️ boosting pay and helping with living costs

@JoStevensLabour @UKLabour Have you noticed? Your policies are jacking up wages whilst doing nothing about productivity so businesses close or employ fewer people and unemployment rises.

This @UKLabour Government promised to #MakeWorkPay and we’re delivering. TODAY, millions of workers will receive a pay rise as we boost the National Minimum and Living Wages. We’re putting more money into people’s pockets. This is fairness you feel.

@AnnelieseDodds Is any of this coming from the government’s “laser-like focus” on growth? No - it’s all taxpayer bungs which will further slow economic growth.

From April, the Government is putting more money in your pocket to help with the cost of living 💷 Here’s what’s changing: ⚡ Around £150 off energy bills (7% drop) – applied automatically 💷 4% Pay rise for 2.7 million workers – up to £900-£1500 a year more

@KeithGray2020 @Jimrennie58 What? That they’re led by ridiculous people?

Gordon Brown got bullied and ridiculed. Ed Milliband got bullied and ridiculed. Jeremy Corbyn got bullied and ridiculed. Sir Keir Starmer is getting bullied and ridiculed. Don't know about anyone else, but I'm seeing a pattern. 🤔 #ScumMedia

@jeremycorbyn Where are you now, shouting through a megaphone?

The problems we face are not caused by migrants or refugees. They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires. We are a mass movement for a kinder world. Together, we can take on the far-right — and win.

@AnnelieseDodds Nandy’s been banging on about the £35m bung to keep snooker in Sheffield, you’re tweeting about banning blokes on horses - have you lot been sent out to scrape the barrel? Is this the best you can come up with?

Promise made, promise kept. Labour will ban trail hunting as promised in our manifesto. Respond to the consultation on how to implement the ban at consult.defra.gov.uk/defra/trail-hu…

@lisanandy Parody account? Country’s gone to ratshit, high inflation, sectarian intolerance, boats flooding in, PM despised at home & ignored abroad but….Hey! the govt has given a £35m bung to keep snooker in Sheffield.

This is the difference a Labour Government makes 🌹

@RachelReevesMP I didn’t study economics beyond A Level - but none of what you say makes sense. You can’t ‘believe’ in procurement ; what on earth is “securonomics”? These are just words you’ve picked up from listening to clever people.

I’ve long believed in the power of procurement. It can strengthen Britain's critical industrial resilience as part of what I call 'securonomics'. And applying a new 'public interest test' for contracting decisions will strengthen our public services. theguardian.com/business/2026/…
