@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.

@JamesMelville @ChrisTu33799970 @grok are these figures precise and correct please, answer with context

“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.”

@crickylovell Panthers fan through and through It should at bare minimum have been at a neutral venue that could hold both sets of fans

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.

@nvrgaveafuxk @akafaceUS From a moment of joy and love, you automatically go so racism and bigotry. This says more about you, than anyone else

@akafaceUS If they were Hispanic or Black would the response have been the same ????

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.

@Matt_Pinner Is it appropriate for you to have an opinion on what she does

Is this appropriate attire for 56 year old Jennifer Lopez to be performing on stage in her underwear 🤔

@WelshLabour How many more people are you pushing into paying tax sooner

Minimum wage up. Living wage up. More rights at work. We're called Labour for a reason. This is the party of working people.

@BROKENBRITAIN0 How backwards can you get

@kenpanthers can you wish Linsey a happy 71st Birthday and Martin a happy 60th - block 16 - Rachel, Ryan, Ollie

@NotFarLeftAtAll Forbid anyone from taking a break or 5 minutes to regroup. Lets bring back the work houses, and let's send toddlers up the chimneys

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? ?

@BROKENBRITAIN0 @grok how true is this

🚨BREAKING: France is about to allow migrants to stand and vote in elections 🇫🇷 The french parliament law commission has adopted a bill allowing non-EU foreign nationals the right to vote and stand in municipal elections❗️ Quick question: WHY❓

@DaveAtherton20 @RTCORGUK Someone get this man a map, Tamworth is 16-17 miles outside of Birmingham. How are they Brummies.....

@L3tsBeFrankPod @RTCORGUK Alas my Google Lens let me down. It would seen logical as they are Brummies.

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.

@elonmusk @grok how misleading is this and what actually happened?

Again

@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

For goodness sake, does it really matter? It was a white lie and the money will be well spent building a society that works for all. x.com/Telegraph/stat…

@DonnaLouise1212 @grok fact check this

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

QUESTIONS 1: FOR CHANCELLOR. I'm interviewing the Chancellor tomorrow morning for my show 7:30pm tomorrow. I don't get long but pls feel free to suggest PRACTICAL NOT POLITICAL questions for her by reply PS I'll post Questions 2 in a mo for you to post Qs on the budget for me.

@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

A Budget that delivers for you. Watch live via @UKParliament on YouTube: youtube.com/live/PDV9X8h0G…

@UKLabour Thus putting more people into paying taxes sooner, as you refuse to raise the threshold this will also push more people into the tax bracket.

Easing the pressure people are facing with the cost of living is a key priority of today's Budget.

@agenticRakesh @PolitlcsUK A frozen Tax threshold is a working class tax. More people will be forced into tax brackets sooner Minimum wage rises, this will push more people into that bracket to

@PolitlcsUK But no tax rises for the working class..

🚨 BREAKING: The OBR's report has been leaked in full before the Budget in an unprecedented move Taxes will rise by £26bn by 2029 and the income tax thresholds will be frozen for three more years obr.uk/docs/dlm_uploa…
