"Retiring from rugby was the biggest mistake of my life".
Telling that abusing his wife and mother of his 5 kids for years isn't his biggest mistake. You might have thought it would be, but no.
Happily, Hogg is "finally valuing himself" now. Phew.

@bphillipsonMP All to be paid for by their children and grandchildren thanks to the ever exponentially increasing national debt. Labour is absolutely killing the country. Madness.

😞 Our offer of 30 hours of government-funded childcare is no longer saving families £7,500...
...it's now saving them £8,000! 😃
Labour is delivering for working families and tackling the cost of living.

For anyone struggling to understand why there’s any difference between religions, when it comes to prayers in public, take a look at today’s Charles Moore piece in The Daily Telegraph.

@darrenpjones Can local communities refuse dinghy rapists being housed in their area?

We’re giving local communities the power to drive local change.

Since Labour came to power...
⚠️ There are roughly 280,000 more people unemployed
⚠️ 1.1 million more people on welfare without work requirements
⚠️10,000 fewer young people not in education, employment, or training
⚠️ 62,000 more people working in the public sector and 65,000 more small boat arrivals
How do you think Labour are doing?

Absolutely humiliating for Rachel Reeves who claimed Truss crashed the economy when 10 year Gilt yields briefly passed 4%
The Labour moron premium is far larger, as UK government borrowing costs close in on 5%

In Autumn 2022 even though the Bank of England announced the sale of £40bn gilts and kicked off the LDI crisis - the rates still weren't as high as this.
Where are Britain's "financial journalists" now?
David Turver@7Kiwi
UK 10Y borrowing costs soar over 5%. This is how debt doom loops begin. It is now urgent to cut spending and slash energy costs to get growth going.

@georgegalloway Decriminalisation of abortion is simply the forerunner to legalisation of full term abortions. Abominable.
English
Full term abortion is an abomination. An indescribable act of evil. Fewer than 1% of the British public support it. Yet parliament just legalised it. Britain as we knew it is finished.
English
@JuliaMarkD2 @CharlotteCGill Yep - this so called ‘decriminalisation’ will now become a loophole , an opportunity to be exploited by radical feminists who genuinely wish for full term abortion to be wholly legal. The door has been opened by this very naive (as well as vile) change to the law.
English
@CharlotteCGill Why would a woman carry a baby all the way to term and then abort it? It's hard to believe this ever happens unless something goes very wrong with the mother or baby.
English
I don’t really get how we ended up decriminalising abortion up to birth. It seems to have come out of nowhere and is very sad. It actually reminds me of reading about Sparta or Chinese girls left to die. Call me old fashioned but what about letting people adopt the babies?

This week we ended the two child limit.
In England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Great to hear from parents, @Alison_S_Taylor and @AberlourCCT about the difference that change will bring to every corner of our country.

This kind of frothing hatred for women's freedom is just so out of touch with public opinion on abortion. MPs with even the tiniest liberal bone in their body need to have some courage and come out and defend our bodily autonomy, because at the moment Westminster is sounding like a house full of loons.
James McMurdock MP@JMcMurdockMP
I dont think being overly emotional is particularly helpful when it comes to matters of the law but for the first time since becoming an MP I am genuinely sad about what parliament has done. I am sad because I know what the consequences will be. I am sad because I know nervous first time parents might give way to doubt and opt out of parenthood and how the reality of that means they'll be denied the greatest gift life will ever give them and instead inherit a life of monstrous guilt. I am sad because, now, healthy babies will be destroyed. I am really sorry that the UK has legalised full term abortion. For what it's worth, I voted NO. I am going to squeeze my children a little tighter and thank the universe a little more than normal this morning. You cannot become unpregnant. You just become the parent of a child you killed. That is the reality of life. We must face it. My babies.

@MattPrinciple @DalrympleWill They’ll only have to reach 15% before they have a decisive influence over Parliament.
English
Yeah, that figure, 6%, is fixed and will not increase over time. 6% is nothing to worry about. It will definitely not be 8% at the next census and 11% at the one following.
There’s nothing to worry about until the figure hits 50%. When it’s at 49% everything will be fine, but once it hits 50% civilization will come to an abrupt end.
English
Muslims make up just 6% of the population of Britain. Conspiracy theories currently being aired by right wing bigots that they are secretly plotting the Islamic domination of the country are the 21st century Islamophobes' equivalent of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and just as idiotic, and as dangerous
Nick Timothy MP@NJ_Timothy
Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

@DanielJHannan Triple lock, welfare and the NHS - all politicians are cowards when it comes to the big ticket items.
English
This is the root of our problem. Voters have an almost comically unrealistic sense of what the government can afford.
With taxes already at a 75-year high, we still need to borrow £150 billion a year, and to spend two thirds of that servicing interest on older borrowing.

Cabinet Office@cabinetofficeuk
This is the biggest reform to our Parliament in a generation. 🇬🇧 This morning, the 700-year-old system of hereditary membership in the House of Lords was abolished. Membership is now earned through public service and merit, not granted by an inheritance. ✅

So there we have it.
Reform REFUSING TO RULE OUT a social insurance model for the NHS.
That means under Reform, your healthcare could stop being a right and start becoming a risk.
That is deeply, deeply concerning.
Reform cannot be trusted.
Farrukh@implausibleblog
Reform UK's James Orr says the NHS will be free at the point of use What he doesn't tell you is that Nigel Farage has advocated for an insurance based NHS That means, as the UK taxpayer will pay more for the same services, even if the NHS is 'free at the point of use' When Fiona Bruce asks him to explain this, he waffles Exposed and humiliated on #BBCQT

@FraserNelson I can guarantee you if a few thousand white men knelt on the roadside in the vicinity of a mosque to pray the rosary, you’d be shouting white supremacy immediately.

😱Listen to this cold hearted nutter - ex CEO of our country’s largest abortion provider - sharing her views regarding in utero babies.
“All the time it’s in the woman’s body, it has to be subject to what she feels is going to be best for her, her family, and indeed the unborn child.”
But what a distressed woman ‘feels’ can be very ignorant and misguided.
This ‘expert’ must know that it most certainly is NOT best for a mother to take an abortion pill at home in an advanced stage of pregnancy. It’s bloody dangerous (I use this swear word deliberately) for the mother even if she ‘feels’ otherwise.
As for what’s best for the unborn child..If the child had a voice I’m pretty damn sure they’d say killing it wasn’t best for it!
