@afneil Am I correct in saying the following? Jan 2026 - The IMFs forecast for the UK was 1.3%. April 2026 - It was downgraded to 0.8% May 2026 - Upgraded from 0.8% to 1% But it’s still 0.3% lower than Januarys forecast.

Folks who follow me know I give very little importance to forecasts, especially from the IMF. Didn’t under the Tories, don’t under Labour. Perhaps if you stopped telling lies you’d have more than 41 followers.

@NDIronsMP Can I be honest? I work from home, and every day I have the same lunch: a tin of Lidl beans and sausages. Most tins come with 8 tiny sausages. But every now and then, you open one and there are 9. That extra sausage brings me infinitely more joy than your 0.2% growth.

Oh no! Quick lads, change the subject before someone realises

@geordiejosh In all my years watching football, I’ve never seen the game brought into disrepute the way it has been in such a short period of time across various leagues.

So we can just control the ball with our arm now yeah? Okay, I expect to see this allowed for every other team in the league.

@BBCMOTD @BBCSport 99.9% of handballs are accidental 🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣 What on earth has happened to the greatest sport in the world. This is beyond shambolic!

This is why Manchester United's second goal stood.

@2147mill Buy a house at 25 with a 25-year mortgage and have it paid off by 50. This way, you’ll have some beer tokens for Wetherspoons in retirement. Or don’t buy a house and pay rent, with no Wetherspoons beer tokens. Follow for more common sense!

Everyone thinks buying a house is the best investment they’ll ever make. The data disagrees. UK house prices rose 4.33% annually over the last 10 years. The global stock market returned 10.1% annually over the same period. Now think about the opportunity cost of your deposit. Average UK deposit: £53,000. £53,000 invested in the S&P 500 instead: → After 10 years: £141,000 → After 20 years: £376,000 → After 30 years: £1,000,000+ Your deposit sitting in bricks: → After 30 years at 4.33%: £186,000 Schroders studied this over 25 years. £100,000 in global stocks became £631,000. The same £100,000 in UK property became £454,000. And that’s before: → Stamp duty → Maintenance costs → Insurance → Estate agent fees when you sell Property feels safe. The numbers say otherwise. Investment or liability?

@Space_Guy_e7g @rickygervais His laugh is absolutely hilarious.

Genuinely how do people find Ricky Gervais funny he's so annoying

This is interesting for Hearts FC @Iromg

@LucyRigby Time to get cracking, right after I take this oddly staged photo of myself at a desk and post it on social media. Very strange.

First day in the new job. Good to get cracking.

@bphillipsonMP Any savings you claim this delivers for working families have been completely wiped out by soaring household energy bills and fuel prices. But nice try.

Enjoyed Kemi’s quip about free breakfast clubs being a defining legacy of this Labour government. When the Tories deride breakfast clubs, it shows how out of touch they still are. A £450 saving is a lot for working families. Easing the morning rush makes a big difference.

@RealCFrampton I didn’t see the full game. Was there an injury during the added on time? Why is the clock at 96 mins 42secs when there was only 5 minutes added on?

The league’s fixed.

@NormanBrennan @Keir_Starmer This was the beginning of the end.

BREAKING NEWS; @Keir_Starmer has tonight stated that his entire cabinet stand shoulder to shoulder with him👇🤷‍♂️🥾👋

@Ed_Miliband Mr Copy & Paste

@Peston The copy and paste party 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Pretty much every member of the cabinet has tweeted some version of “it’s all very sad what’s happened but sacking the boss would be worse” - apart from Wes Streeting, Yvette Cooper, Ed Miliband and Shabana Mahmood

@KarlTurnerMP @AndyBurnhamGM @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer I think you’ll find the biggest act of self harm was allowing Starmer to be the leader of the party to begin with. 😂😂😂😂😂

Blocking @AndyBurnhamGM from being allowed to put himself forward as a candidate to be considered in Gorton and Denton by-election was the biggest act of self harm @UKLabour has ever inflicted upon itself. @Keir_Starmer hasn’t said sorry for that. He must.

@BethRigby This is seismic.

In Essex, the place of Kemi Badenoch's constituency, Reform look set to take the council - 5 seats short of majority with 29 more to declare. Current vote share in Essex. Votes so far > Reform: 43 per cent to Conservatives 10 per cent

@AllisonPearson When Labour take an absolute shellacking and the dust finally settles, they may well come to regret not having the moral courage to stand up and say it plainly: Starmer has not only damaged the country, but hollowed out the very principles Labour once claimed to stand for. 🫣🫣

Angela’s Labour government tried to cancel these elections. They don’t want people to have a say because they fear the voters’ wrath. Rightly. This Labour government is deplorable, beyond incompetent. Don’t do what Angela says. Vote for Sanity.

@orlaminihane @SorchaEastwood I think @SorchaEastwood is brilliant but if she could be a little more dramatic when talking in the chamber that would be great. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I had to share this. If you haven’t seen this lady in action - you soon will !!! What a legend!!! THIS is the passion and honesty we desperately need in British Politics!! @SorchaEastwood 🇬🇧 I solute you Sorcha !

@primetateHQ The reason adverts are showing is you likely have the microphone setting turned on just like this. Go to setting, then privacy and security, then microphone and have a look at what you have turned on. Then turn them all off. If we have privacy the adverts should stop. 👍

🚨WATCH: Andrew Tate demonstrates how your phone is always spying on you, even when it’s turned off 😳 "The new world order is the smartphone. You cannot escape."

@MikaelaMayer1 @KatieTaylor @KatieTaylor last fight should be a crossover with @RondaRousey at Croke Park. 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰

I vote me😁 After I beat Cameron. But hey it’s up to @KatieTaylor, she’s most def earned the right to choose.

@DPJHodges @Iromg There’s nothing more satisfying than watching politicians try to deploy their obfuscation training and failing spectacularly. I’ve got secondhand embarrassment from watching that.

As I was saying. This is what currently passes for British foreign policy.
