@Sutton1Mr Had my British barber shop 26yrs it's never been so hard I've had to look at other jobs to supplement like Handy man and going to get a taxi license trade is down about 2/3 after paying my self less than minimum wage for hours worked it makes about £2k profit

Turkish Barbers, Plastic furniture, Vape Shops,Phone repair shops and Nail Bars.... I'm sick of seeing them in every high street I visit.
How do these tatty ugly places afford prime high street locations whilst all the local butchers, greengrocers, fishmongers, tailors(you know, things we actually need) have closed down?
If you talk to shop owners they tell you it's the rent and rates that have killed them.
So, how are these shops making a living?
Are they paying proper wages?
Are they paying full rent and rates?
And are councils checking their books?
Because I walk past some of these shops everyday. And some, I'm yet to ever see a customer in. So there is no way you are telling me they are making a profit.
I think we need a full overhaul of our high streets.

@Sutton1Mr Actually thinking about this if they are money laundering and putting loads through the books they are giving HMRC more than my declining barber shop is. Who would HMRC prefer?

BREAKING:
Poland just told the EU to go to hell.
President Nawrocki vetoed the Digital Services Act.
"The state is supposed to guarantee freedom. Not restrict it."
The EU spent years building the most sophisticated censorship machine in the Western world.
One man. One veto. Destroyed.
Think about what this law actually was.
> Governments deciding what you can post.
> Governments deciding what you can share.
> Governments deciding what is true.
> Governments deciding what you are allowed to think.
Poland said no.
While Germany complied.
While France complied.
While the entire EU rolled over.
Poland vetoed it.
- The same Poland that buys more gold than the ECB.
- The same Poland that surpassed the European Central Bank in reserves.
- The same Poland that has been right about everything.
Is now the last wall standing between European citizens and state-controlled speech.
The EU doesn't want free citizens.
It wants manageable ones.
Poland just reminded them what freedom actually looks like.
Every European should be paying attention.

@elonmusk Dear Elon,
FSD will never work, we just don't have the technology to do it safely, and we probably will never have it.
All the best,

@MikeTheRedLFC @KelvinEHughes @AndyBurnhamGM Israel as a society votes for rapists, PDFs and riots in the street to get rapists free of charges. They cannot be healed. If they are "the only democracy in the middle east" then they are more complicit on an individual level than any other country in history for its crimes.

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election.
I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics.
Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic.
Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures.
However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people.
Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place.
I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that.
Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again.

@MikeTheRedLFC @KelvinEHughes @AndyBurnhamGM Satanyahu orchestrated 7/10 to justify flattening Gaza.
How else did Hamas know to go into the occupied territory on that day?
Where were IDF pigs for 9 hours? They were ordered to stand down, so maximise casualties could happen.
Israel did this.

English

@MikeTheRedLFC @KelvinEHughes @AndyBurnhamGM Support civilians - women and children - not being murdered. It's really not that hard. Your insistence to conflate all Palestinians with Hamas shows your underhanded attempt to whitewash murder.

@samhfinance just about to collect in a few years can i take my 903k now please
English

@KelvinEHughes @AndyBurnhamGM so youve read the recent reports of october 7 and you still support poor little hamas freedom fighters?
English

@AndyBurnhamGM Your path seems to be set.
As you have been a member of LFI, the first thing you need to do is unequivocally condemn Israeli genocide & commit to ridding parliament of foreign influence, particularly Israel.
If you don't do that, I will not be voting Labour in future elections.
English

@AndyBurnhamGM i urge you to get your party should you win to get back to helping small business and self employed. what you lot have done to us taken us back 10 years. Your one of the good guys. And a rape gang enquiry please

@MWGoneFishing Who is Daniel McGrath, who has set up this fundraising campaign? Who is he to Bob Mortimer, Ted's owner? Why is Bob Mortimer not featured here?
This may well be perfectly legitimate, but there seems to be an epidemic of such campaigns milking the public's sympathy.

To honour little Ted’s big legacy his owners have set up a fundraising page with all proceeds going to various dog rescue charities 🙏🐾❤️

The Bob Paisley disrespect (or simple lack of ball knowledge) is crazy.
