@JoshFG @supergutman Sickened? Good god Josh 😂. I can’t bear Owen Jones but I’d have reacted the same way to someone who makes their mind up on who to vote for on such a ridiculous basis.

@supergutman It’s about an underlying lack of respect. Something Owen confirms by laughing in her face. It’s over 24 hours since I saw it first and I’m still sickened by it.

No way was this about the door, she just wants all these activist types to fuck off back to London.

Genuinely makes me proud to be British. These little actions can be very telling.

When you Google 'Kylie', the results should default to Kylie Minogue, not Kylie Jenner.

@BenHouchen A trip to Teesside, Darlington or Hartlepool?
Thanks, but no thanks.
English
I won’t be using this power. There will be no tourist tax in Teesside, Darlington and Hartlepool for as long as I'm Mayor.
Thanks, but no thanks.

Scoop w/@WillStandring: Reeves will allow Sadiq Khan + other English mayors to impose a “tourist tax” on overnight stays Announcement coming today. Rate is subject to consultation but expected to be around £2/night on both hotel and Airbnb-style stays bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@labourlewis Starting to believe that Lewis’ endorsement is really a strategy to ensure Burnham’s ambitions are never realised. Surely?
English
Of course he finds it peculiar.
Self-sacrifice, hypothetical or not, is foreign to the self-serving.
I love my city and my constituents.
But the authoritarian right is an existential threat. We need the best chance of turning this around.
That’s Andy, not Wes

“It’s a peculiar thing for him to say, it’s like telling his constituents: ‘I’m not interested in being your MP.’” Reacting to Clive Lewis offering up his seat to Andy Burnham, @wesstreeting says his own government puts too much emphasis on personality politics.

Me: sinking pints.

@paulmasonnews @RachelReevesMP Astounding that this guy was once seen as credible

Chancellor @RachelReevesMP is on fire here - batting away Fleet Street Tories and hammering the Tory record of austerity ... can't wait to watch the fat cats cry when she redistributes wealth some more. Reform and the Tories rightly cowering 👏✊🚩🇬🇧

@RoworthJack @Conservatives Darling I get one of those vouchers with my weekly Gousto box
English
Ha, so I resigned my membership from the Conservative Party on Friday. Anyway, they’ve only gone and sent my membership card today - and with a £75 wine voucher!
Ha, it’s a shame I don’t drink anymore.
I’ll treat my loved ones with it.
Thanks guys @Conservatives

Rylan Clark isn’t a far-right hooligan. He’s just deeply, deeply stupid. And anybody who didn’t realise that before today needs a reality check. We need to stop giving stupid, uneducated people major platforms. It’s that simple.

When will @narindertweets and @Keir_Starmer start calling @Rylan a FAR RIGHT hooligan? Can’t be long now… Welcome to the club Rylan !

Living by the coast is overrated. You're miles from anywhere interesting, it's constantly windy, and you get woken up by seagulls squawking like maniacs from about 4 am onwards every day.

An Englishman, a Frenchman, a Spaniard and a German are sitting in a room when a man enters and asks, “Can you see me?” and they respond; “Yes.” “Oui.” “Sí.” “Ja.”

Not great news. The Energy Price Cap now predicted to RISE about 2% or 3% in October.
The latest predictions from Eon, British Gas & EDF have just come out. All are up on a week ago when it was predicted Oct would stay roughly the same as now (we're now 1/3 of the way through the Oct Cap assessment period).
Much of this is on the back of the rise in energy wholesale prices due to the conflict in the Middle East.
Current predictions range
- Up 1.6%-2.8% Oct
- Up c.1% on top of that in Jan
- Up c.3% on top of that next April
Though the further out you go the more crystal ball gazing it is.

I’m hardly a trans-activist but @BoyGeorge is SPOT ON here. @jk_rowling has her views on what is or is not a woman - whatever, not my area of expertise. But what I can say with conviction is that @jk_rowling is a nasty, spiteful, horrible excuse for one.

This is your obsession and it's pretty relentless and for no reason. You don't get to decided who or what anyone is except when you write. In the real world people can and always will be what they want to be. You can't stop it but you can continue to make young kids lives more difficult. You are cruel JK, you have started to look cruel in pictures. All this obsession is wearing on your expression. The pictures of you mocking 'trans' people like Winston Churchill after the Supreme Court ruling. Your endless comments about how rich you are. It's depressing and tacky and proves you are desperate to mean something but sadly you are just being mean. As my hilarious friend David Hoyle always says. 'Ladies & gentlemen and those of you still deciding. There are two type of people, nice people and c***s. I do not expect any positive response and you will continue to be supported by women who see you as some kind of gender hero. Women are not better than men and men are not better than women. As a man, a biological one, rah, rah, I have no issue with a girl becoming a boy or the other way around. As a gay man who has worn make-up since 14 I had lived my entire life feeling awkward and afraid using male public toilets. It's not easy being different and you are only making it harder. Why don't you buy a nice Scottish island or a farm and start a JK commune for traumatised Terfs. Or listen to your fellow Scott Sydney Banks and he will hopefully help you understand that this is all in your head. youtu.be/3a14E0a9jIA?si…

@anon_opin Terrible idea. Rest of the country has to watch an MP’s surgery play out on national television. Trust me, it wouldn’t be interesting.

BBC's Question Time should have the local MP for the constituency the film in each week. The audience is predominantly made up of locals, the panel should have at least one.
