@CPSUK @JournalismSEEN Idiotic.

Aurin Makepeace has been convicted of killing Steven Rothwell. We recognise the significant concern our coverage of this case has caused. Our post reflected the terminology used in the court proceedings. Read more: orlo.uk/Tl2T8

@CPSUK Why are you doing this?

@KateCommonsense @WingsScotland @polblonde Failing the first question would be their utter delusion. The second would be their total arrogance at not sufficiently educating themselves on their primary purpose of managing the economy. In my opinion …

@LexiluMaximoo @WingsScotland @polblonde Agree, unfortunately many of our elected parliamentarians would fail your test...

Labour canvasser knocked on doors in my street last night. My neighbour asked what is a woman. 'Hard for me to say,' she said. This is why (as I told her) I no longer vote Labour.

@CF_Farrow Because that wouldn’t make their parents feel special??

Why could these boys not have joined the Scouts (which is mixed sex) in the first place?!

@LucyHunterB I always now wonder if they are defending what they wish to become. One day.

Adult men having such a strong opinion about an organisation for girls not being able to admit boys will always strike me as immensely unsettling.

@KateCommonsense @WingsScotland @polblonde I have two questions for all candidates. What is a woman? And, can you explain in simple terms the basics of Keynesian and monetarist economics? If they are unable to answer both coherently they have no business bearing any responsibility for the governing of this country.

@polblonde I had a similar experience with a Lib Dem canvasser: Me: What is a woman. LD: It's very complicated. Me: Is a trans woman a woman. LD: Absolutely.... Silence ensued and he sloped off red faced.

@BertDalziel Has she also left a note to describe your wallpaper choice as ‘dull, lifeless and dead’?

I’ve come back to find my mother-in-law has rearranged all the furniture in our living room and then buggered off.

@francesbarber13 And I’m super fortunate to have an amazing independent equine vet practice that doesn’t overcharge. It’s the insurance that’s a scam …

@francesbarber13 After 5 years of paying insurance on my pony, I’ve just broken even on claims! Although they tried to wriggle out of it. The new horse is rapidly clocking up a similar bill to keep up with her equine sister. No idea why we do this.

Exorbitant prices for veterinary care. I paid £1000’s for pet insurance for my dog. When he had to have treatment, insurance wouldn’t pay. I suggest you put similar amount into another account of your own. Cut out the scam.

@thesundaysport And yet RM is still more competent than Evri …

There's an argument that many of this country's woes can be laid at the door of 'targets'.

@BradfemlyWalsh Go along to your local @Conservatives Ladies Lunch. I guarantee you will meet some awesome older ladies who will have you in fits of laughter. And who speak a great deal of sense.

I hate that I'm QTing this as a socialist but the way the Left has pivoted towards full-blown Nazism has rendered me politically homeless. Now I just support anyone who is correct about something

@DreyfusJames We were so lucky to have the 90s.

Incredible to think this wonderfully chaotic, joyful, irreverent programme, which I had the pleasure of being on a few times, seems like another world away now. Fun & joy has been completely replaced with dour earnestness, bland virtue signalling & self-conscious caution.

@BradfemlyWalsh @thesundaysport Never thought the most reliable news outlet would be The Sport, I applaud you.

@thesundaysport - Nicest person on this hellsite

@SlyForTheRight Let’s see all those men praying in front of 10 Downing Street, a public place, and see how Starmer’s wife and children feel about it. Everyone, stop kidding yourselves that it was a display of peace & joy. It was hardly a Diwali celebration or a Christmas carol concert, was it?

🚨 KEMI SHUTS IT DOWN 🚨 Kemi Badenoch responds to attempts by Lord Hermer to take shots at her over the Nick Timothy row. Her verdict? “A ridiculous man.” Clear. Direct. No nonsense. That’s leadership. 🇬🇧💥

@alaafromgaza92 @IsabelOakeshott @SuellaBraverman @PatrickChristys @GBNEWS Do you have any idea how expensive it is to live here? I seriously doubt you will earn enough to pay your way from teaching Arabic online. That’s not hate. It’s a simple fact of life in the UK.

The past three days have been extremely stressful and draining. The attack led by @SuellaBraverman @PatrickChristys and amplified by their followers and @GBNEWS viewers, simply because I want to bring my three children (all under five) and my husband with me during my MA journey, has been vicious. @SuellaBraverman, your own parents came to the UK as immigrants and built their lives there. If the rules you are advocating today had applied then, you might have grown up in India or Africa, not in Britain. I don’t understand why @SuellaBraverman hasn’t been asked to comment on my case on @GBNEWS . Maybe it’s because her own parents were immigrants? I acknowledge that deleting my viral tweet and deactivating my account after receiving a wave of hateful messages was a huge mistake. I will not hide. I will not stay silent. I will defend my rights that are defined and permitted under the UK visa system. Being accused of visa fraud before I have even set foot in the UK is deeply unjustifiable. My sole intention in coming to the UK is to pursue my MA.

@LiamHalligan I think all prospective and current MPs ought sit an economics test. If they fail, they don’t get a place on the ballot paper. Competently managing the economy (which is the primary job of parliament) should not be left to people who don’t understand even basic economics.

This story below reveals the true extent of Angela Rayner's cluelessness when it comes to economics, the public finances and financial markets. I say that not with glee - but deep alarm and regret. If this is really how the probable next Prime Minister of the UK thinks - betting markets put a more than 50% chance on leadership coup by June - then the ousting of Starmer/Reeves by Rayner (or Miliband) is likely to spark an instant spike in gilt yields, from their already elevated levels. Just the fact that Rayner has said what she has below will put yet more upward pressure on the market-driven borrowing costs – whatever the Bank of England says is these days mere mood – that drive the interest rates faced by firms and households. I have nothing against more social housing – on the contrary, the arguments in favour of building more are at the heart of my book "Home Truths", along with policy mechanisms that could get that done. But if you think that, in the current environment, hard-nosed international creditors do - or even should - give a monkey's about the "social benefits" of subsidised housing then you are utterly and dangerously deluded. Again, I say this in sorrow, not glee. I knew plenty of smart people at the top of successive Blair governments. The architects of New Labour – at least the Blairites – always made sure there were financially literate and market-savvy people in the room when big decisions were made. That was important back then - when the national debt Britain had to service was 35pc of GDP. Now – with the same metric pushing 100pc of GDP and Britain paying more than Morocco to borrow money – it is absolutely vital. It seems that there is no-one – NO-ONE AT ALL – near the top of today's Labour government who has the first clue about the realities of public accounts and global finance. These are – once again – NOT tribal or party-political points, but statements of cold fact ....

@A_J_Snowden Good.

Save yourself a wasted flutter and have a pint of (warm 🙄) beer after work tonight instead 🙌🏻 I won’t be taking the 30 pieces of silver. #TrueBlue

@hughgreenauthor @Madz_Grant @LNathan123 @millihill I simply don’t believe that the majority of late stage abortions will truly be the choice of the mother. I just don’t believe it.

@Madz_Grant @LNathan123 @millihill Pressure applied after coercive partner learns the foetus is not the gender they want … this will happen… the smug politicians pass laws from on high and they simply don’t live in the real world…

People desperate to believe that a law has been passed enabling women to murder late term babies and then run around cackling wildly afterwards. This A) shows your low regard for women and B) shows you're incapable of reading things properly. That's the kindest way I can put it.

@MarkDavies67 @soniasodha We’ve been ‘toning down the rhetoric’ for about 30 years now across many issues. And look where it’s got us. How about a bit of down to earth honesty?

@soniasodha Honestly I really think that on a debate as sensitive, difficult and challenging as this it’d be good to tone down the rhetoric? Nobody but nobody wants “wrongful state sanctioned deaths”.

Maybe - just maybe - he’s finally realised that wrongful state-sanctioned deaths aren’t the legacy he should want his premiership to be remembered for? 🤷‍♀️ (No, I think it’s internal Labour politics too.) theguardian.com/society/2026/m…

@simonmontefiore To everyone who says we are not at war with Iran, and have been for years. This.

This focuses the mind: Iranian agents Charged With Spying and Planning Attack on Bevis Marks, Britain's Oldest Synagogue where my parents were married.... along with other targets that are essential parts of British Jewish life. Terrifying. We can only thank the British secret agencies, MI5 and M16 and anti-terrorism Police, for their wonderful work @MI5_Official @chiefMI6 @metpoliceuk nytimes.com/2026/03/19/wor…
