@Spuddy1980 @JamesMelville @ChrisTu33799970 @grok £4.5tn isn’t government spending it’s economy-wide investment (mostly private). The UK hasn’t “banned” all North Sea activity, and importing energy is normal. Some points have truth, but lack context. Overall, it’s a political narrative, not a factual summary.

“Let’s spend £4.5 trillion on net zero over the next 25 years. Let’s increase taxes to pay for net zero. Let’s ban new oil and gas licences in the North Sea but spaff away £40billion buying North Sea oil and gas from Norway. Let’s buy coking coal shipments worth £7.2million from Japan but ban UK coal mining. Let’s plaster thousands of acres of farmland with solar panels but spend £50million on sun dimming experiments. Let’s give huge renewable energy construction contracts to China. Lets fail to improve gas storage facilities, Let’s give Drax an estimated £1.8billlion in taxpayer funded subsidies on top of the £11billion it has already received despite Drax burning an amount of wood equivalent to 300 million trees. Let’s give £1billion this year alone to wind power companies not to generate power from their wind turbines. And let’s spend £30billion of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines but put pensioners, farmers and the disabled into financial peril by claiming there’s a £22bn black hole.”

There will forever be an asterisk against Nottingham Panthers winning the Challenge Cup in 2026. Rule changes to give them home advantage wrongly in the final and preferential treatment for fan seating. Come at me Panthers fans, its just facts.

A father who worked at a water park snuck in after hours with his son to celebrate the boy’s 11th birthday in a special way. Security cameras captured them swimming, splashing, and riding the water slides together. Rather than firing him, the father’s boss showed understanding, explaining that they recognized his actions came from a genuine wish to create a lasting happy memory for his child.

This is happening in A&E at the hospital. How many man-hours and woman-hours are lost every day at work due to employees scrolling? Shouldn’t mobile phones be banned in the workplace like they are in schools? ?

This is glorious as Ryan from Raise The Colours @RTCORGUK drapes two enormous Union Jack Flags over a footbridge with "Stop the boats" embossed on them. It is opposite the Holiday Inn Express at Heathrow, housing asylum seekers.

@LeonardBriscoe3 Of course it matters, she should have said I have a little breathing room. However I need to do XYZ, but to do this I will need to raise this money. £22billion is hardly a white lie

My 23-year-old niece just broke down in tears telling me what the Jobcentre is now doing: They’re FORCING unemployed people to accept ANY job they’re offered—no matter how far away, no matter the hours, no matter if it’s safe. Refuse? They cut your benefits instantly. No money for rent or food. Her “choice”? A late-night curry house in a heavily Muslim area, miles from home. She doesn’t drive. She’d have to travel alone on dark buses, then work surrounded by men in a male-dominated kitchen until the early hours. A young British girl, sent alone into that environment because some bureaucrat says so. This isn’t “getting people into work.” This is state-sanctioned endangerment. Over my dead body will she be forced into that situation. How many other vulnerable young women are being coerced right now? This has to stop.

@MartinSLewis @MartinSLewis with the threshold being frozen and not rising in line with at least inflation, with wages rising both for both living wage, and minimum wage - will this not put more people paying tax sooner and paying more tax?. Thus a double whammy stealth tax

@RachelReevesMP @UKParliament All I heard was tax tax tax You have frozen the threshold which means I will pay more tax if I choose to either go for a better paying job, or I have a wage rise in my current role. Increasing the national minimum wage will also push more people into the tax bracket sooner
