ROB AND THE MOB

@MENnewsdesk Nope : they’ve been banned by Dubai CAA unless they’re UAE flagged carriers

Major airline suspends all flights to Dubai until May following announcement from British Airways manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/world-new…

@paullewismoney And unlimited speeds for #EVs I assume ?🤔

Some papers reporting govt is considering a nationwide 50mph speed limit on cars to cut fuel use. Which is great news as I am limited to 20mph on almost all roads near me!

@KEdge23 Would t trust her to run a bath 🛁

Would Angela Rayner do a better job as prime minister?

@AutoPap Has it broken down (again !) ?

Look who’s home!

@Keir_Starmer That’s odd, as your Chancellor of the exchequer and Energy Minister have cost thousands of jobs in industry and commerce, by their misguided taxes and punitive energy costs. Perhaps, for once, you could venture north and see that the majority of the UK doesn’t live in London ?

Last year, the future of British Steel was on the line. Scunthorpe’s steel furnaces were hours away from shutting down. I couldn’t let thousands of people lose their jobs. So we saved British Steel. Time and again, people want to write off Britain’s workers. The Tories did it again and again. My Labour government will never leave workers behind. We’re investing in British steelmaking across our country – so we can make more of our own steel here at home.

@s8mb @NetZeroWatch 🐂 💩

Reminder: there's no gas to be fracked in Britain or the rest of Europe, and there's no oil or gas left in the North Sea. That's why we cannot give licenses to companies looking for reserves there and have to tax their profits at 78%.

@Ed_Miliband So, basically, you’re doing nothing except for labour voters ?🤔

5 things we’re doing to help tackle the cost of living 👇

@simone_chellini @airwaysmagazine @Finnair There has been a directive from the UAE CAA that no carriers, except UAE flagged carriers, can now land at Dubai (DXB).

🔴 Finnair is suspending flights to Doha and Dubai until March 29 and July 2, respectively. Customers are recommended to apply for a refund. With this decision, Finnair joins several European airlines. via @airwaysmagazine

@RussellDutton They were needed in the days when gas mains weren’t as efficient or prevalent as nowadays. Often storing “mines gas” which came from the collieries and was piped to businesses, housing and streetlamps. The advent of High Speed North Sea gas rendered them surplus to requirements.

This gas crisis and inaction by Ed Miliband got me thinking, what happened to the old fashioned Gasometers? They used to be all over the place didn’t we

@TufferB Someone needs to !😉

Always watching me.

@NotFarLeftAtAll He’s on the scrounge again !

Ffs … what he bloody want …

@MattFromKent @NavyLookout @Gibdan1 @key2med @jr_amon_ceuta I always state #FatFingers !😉

@ROBANDTHEMOB @NavyLookout @Gibdan1 @key2med @jr_amon_ceuta I’ll blame the lunchtime beer and autocorrect for that one!

@JohnSimpsonNews Come on John ! He’s insulting Keef not the King ! Be accurate !

A big decision coming soon for Keir Starmer: can Britain really allow the King to pay a state visit to the US when Pres Trump is so publicly insulting to the UK?

@RussellDutton Sadly Russ, there’s no other option to the welfare budget, due to the amount of claimants.

Make it make sense This years current budgets 300bn - Welfare 55bn - Defence The conservatives and labour parties have got a lot of explaining to do it it surely time for action And the welfare bill by the way is going up to 400bn 😳🙄 This has to stop we need dramatic change

@LowCarbonD61778 And where, pray tell, does your magic electricity come from ?🤔It’s not all nuclear or renewables !🙄

The oil burning community have had a wake-up call. Now is the time to rip thank tank of toxic fuel out, scrap that oil boiler and get a solar array a battery and a heat pump. We can’t keep subsidising fossil fuel shocks…

@BBCPolitics How is she going to stop those boats I wonder ?🤔🙄

Chancellor Rachel Reeves vows to stop UK tech from "drifting abroad" bbc.in/47A2OMQ

@JimFergusonUK The UK doesn’t have a viable @RoyalNavy to deploy to the gulf. It didn’t even have a Type 45 destroyer on standby to defend Cyprus. There’s HMS Duncan and Dragon, only one of which has had the PIP upgrade. There’s 2 duff carriers, both undergoing dockyard maintenance. It’s a joke

🚨 PETROL RATIONING — AND STARMER STILL WON’T ACT The warning is now out in the open. If the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked, the UK is weeks away from a fuel crisis — and the government already has emergency plans ready: Petrol rationing Fuel prioritised for emergency services 50mph speed limits to cut consumption Let that sink in. Britain is preparing for shortages, restrictions, and disruption to daily life — not hypothetically, but operationally. And why? Because roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply flows through the Strait of Hormuz — and right now, that artery is under threat. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has made a direct request to allies: Help secure the shipping lanes. Send naval support. Keep global energy moving. And what did Keir Starmer say? He needed to “meet with his team”. Trump’s response was cutting: “You don’t need to meet with a team… you’re the Prime Minister.” This is the reality. While America moves to prevent a global energy crisis, Britain is preparing to ration fuel at home — because its leadership refuses to act decisively abroad. This isn’t caution. It’s paralysis dressed up as process. And the cost of that weakness? Could soon be felt at every petrol station, every supermarket, and every household in Britain.

@edwinhayward It’s like having an imaginary (special) friend, or describing someone at school as special. It’s an archaic reference to a bygone age.

The UK's special relationship with the USA is... dead. Let's instead get closer to sensible countries.

@paul__johnson The difference is, the other countries have energy stability and don’t rely on the 20% of global oil passing through the Straits of Hormuz, as the UK does !

After the tariffs and the threats, the tantrums and the insults, Trump asks for help: -Britain: We will not be drawn into war -Germany: No -France: No -Australia: No -Spain: No -Italy - No -Japan - No -Norway - No -Canada - No -Netherlands - No You reap what you sow

@Richard_Alonzo It’s the @oasis #GallagherHill mob ruining it for the rest of the spotters !😵‍💫

Roads closed and screens put up around RAF Fairford. Presumably to hide our involvement in a war Starmer claims were not involved in. share.google/4Y1C4peBNfjUF2…
