@RachelReevesMP All aboard the train to the land of freebies

Minimum wage rising 📈 State pension increasing 💷 Two child limit abolished 🏡 Child poverty falling 📉 Rights at work strengthened 💪🏻 Labour promised change. We are delivering change. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@JohnSwinney Now the taxpayer funds the £9.90 for 40p paracetamol

15 years ago, we made prescriptions free in Scotland - while people south of the border pay £9.90 an item. For as long as the SNP is in government, we will always protect free prescriptions. On May 7th, vote SNP.

@Kate_Dearden But theyre not really. Some wont see a rise till their wage at the end of May.

Today, 2.7 million workers are getting a pay rise. Increases to the National Minimum and Living Wages mean full-time workers could earn up to £1,500 more this year. As Minister for Employment Rights, I’m proud to help deliver this ➡️ boosting pay and helping with living costs

@JimmyMcd62 Why you telling lies James?

Englands annual GDP with over 60 million people is £2.16 trillion Scotlands GDP with 6 million population is £1.8 trillion C'mon tae fuck the better together crew do the math

@banks_chef The problem with minimum wage now is it rewards mediocrity and breeds an entitled behaviour. Minumum wage actually hurts the recipients proportionally more than others. Tax brackets should change not rates to encourage people to spend money.

With the new national minimum wage kicking in our entry point staff such as commis chef, Kitchen Porter, FOH helper will now be paid £31,724 for full time. £4009 on top to hire this person in NI contributions. Plus £1,274 pension. Total is £37,007.

@therealmissjo Significantly older but we dont go now either, i think the problem is in part due to Hollywood running out of original ideas and there being a wealth of mediocre television available at our fingertips on netflix/amazon etc. As a country we’re lazy and “lockdown” made it worse.

Is this true? Does anyone have kids at this age? Are they interested in films, going to the cinema or TV shows? There used to be crowds of teens at the cinema. Now, I see none but then I go at off-peak times, when I do go, which is rarely.

@therealmissjo @Telegraph The land of milk and honey…… that just wouldnt wash with the takers.

@Telegraph Should have 6 months to find a job. After that time should have to do unpaid community service for 35 hours per week in exchange for benefits.

@SAhmad153 @Butcher_008 The same walkers that wouldnt walk across the ice incase it cracked and stopped at the waters edge at Hardholm?

@Butcher_008 How did they go under water to put chains around him ??

People who haven’t watched Game of Thrones will never understand what this scene did to us 8 years ago

@MartinSLewis I seen loads of other peoples transactions and no idea what they were, shame they were my wife

Do you use the Lloyds, Bank of Scotland or Halifax apps? People have been messsaging me this morning of being shown other peoples transactions. I want to see how widespread this is. Has it happened to you. If so a) What are you seeing? Which app. b) If it is someone elses transactions does it give any of their details too (name, account number etc)?

@Dyson I have done this.

@Dyson Warranty period aside you dont expect this from a premium product. It could of burnt the house down.

@therealmissjo Bairn and wean for kids too! Thats a Scottish thing though, based on location. The others may be the same.

@MitchRangers I can honestly say that I have never known someone to talk about a bunker instead of a worktop! The dressing gown thing I do understand.

British people ONLY: What do you call your evening meal?

@therealmissjo Not a clue, just one of those things thats always been that way. Private schooling perhaps, who knows. Same went i talk about the kitchen worktop. Parents - worktop Wife - bunker Talk about dressing gowns. Parents - dressing gown. Wife - housecoat.

@MitchRangers Why the difference?

@TheMistressRox When do the dugs arrive?

That’s me boarded my last flight…I’ll land in Bangkok in around 6 hours. Then my Thai adventure begins properly. I can’t tell you how much your kind wishes and interest in my new life means. Thank you 🙏🏼

@pub_that @allen_m_simpson @UKHospKate @AltonSteven @MerlinFDC4 @dustonlandlady Yeah we’re high volume but low margin so its painful.

@MitchRangers @allen_m_simpson @UKHospKate @AltonSteven @MerlinFDC4 @dustonlandlady It’s so unfair…based on turnover and not profit. Although if it was based on profit it would be zero!

Can we talk about RR standing up yesterday claiming lowest business rates since 2012 and then publicans are checking rateable values to see increases of nearly 300% from 2026 in some cases? @allen_m_simpson @UKHospKate @AltonSteven @MerlinFDC4 @dustonlandlady #TaxedOut

@pub_that @allen_m_simpson @UKHospKate @AltonSteven @MerlinFDC4 @dustonlandlady Twice, down to 112k then 95k. Still had to pay for almost 5 years to then get it back again.

@MitchRangers @allen_m_simpson @UKHospKate @AltonSteven @MerlinFDC4 @dustonlandlady Did you challenge?

@TheMistressRox @Serena_Partrick Yeah its a beautiful view.

@MitchRangers @Serena_Partrick Not sure which tee it is as I always stay in the rough as much as possible when we walk on the course. That view will be one of the few things I miss when I move.

Better therapy.

@TheMistressRox @Serena_Partrick Looks like the the back of the 18th tee?

@Serena_Partrick This was my view last week 😊
