@bbcquestiontime He’s more in touch with the average working guy than most politicians, and he has a point. Hard graft, especially for small and medium sized businesses should be encouraged and rewarded. The punitive tax regime chokes innovation, growth, and creates little incentive for success.

“People should be able to… enjoy a pint of beer, take their kids to the football, but they can’t”
Businessman and TV personality Tom Skinner says people have “no money” despite working “every hour”, and Labour are “smacking” businesses when they need “more support”

@EndWokeness I’m against state sponsored suicide, but the misinformation and manipulative deceit spread by posts like this is awful.
You take something bad and multiply the poison to popularize your prejudices.

@SophyRidgeSky The answer was more nuanced: Either way, we’re prepared.
Saying yes wouldn’t do anything apart from making people fear unnecessarily.
Saying no, runs a risk of looking unprepared if it turns out the serial liars are telling the truth for once AND Iran planned to strike us.

Worth reading my exchange with Defence Secretary John Healey about whether Iran has the capability to strike London
SR: Israel has said Iran has missiles that could strike London. Is that true?
JH: We have no assessment of Iranian plans to strike London. We have a defence of Britain that isn't just about what we have for ourselves in and around Britain. Our defence of Britain is part of the layers of defence of NATO nations...
SR: I don't understand what that means, that you 'don't have an assessment'. Does that mean you don't have an assessment at all so we don't know? Or does that mean that your assessments don't suggest that?
JH: I understand the concerns that British people will have, but we have the resources and we have the alliances in place to be able to protect Britain. And we do that not just because we've got first class forces, but we have an alliance with 31 other NATO nations, and it's together that we defend NATO and British airspace, NATO and British homeland.
SR: Do we know if Iran has the capability to strike London?
JH: Look, what I'm saying, and trying to reassure people, is that we've got no assessment that Iran has any plans to attack, but we have the resources, we have the alliance in place to be able to defend Britain and we do that with allies, and we do that with NATO. And as far as Iran goes, they're demonstrating a capacity to hit across the Middle East. We see the same tactics and technologies that we see employed by Russia in Ukraine and this is the hidden hand of Putin in both conflicts. And I'm releasing today our latest defence intelligence assessment, which says that Russia was almost certainly providing training, sharing intelligence with Iran ahead of this conflict, including on types of drones, including on electronic warfare.

@JohnnyBCCB @RpsAgainstTrump Exactly what came to my mind too.
English

@RpsAgainstTrump Have these self-professed Christians even read the Bible? Like even cracked it once? Are they trolling us by gifting a golden statue to their God King? They might as well have made it a golden calf to celebrate our pastoral heritage, just to complete the picture,
English

Just when you thought the GOP couldn’t be a more embarrassing cult, Speaker Mike Johnson presented Donald Trump with the “first-ever America First Award”:
“We have created a new award. We are going to do something we’ve never done before. We will honor him with a new award… That’s a beautiful gold statue, appropriate for the new Golden Era in America.”

@davidcoldwell Shameful. Hearn backed him through the positive PEDS test financially and publicly. Made him millions and got his career back on track.

@SkySportsNews I stopped the clip when the words “Cesc Fabregas” left his mouth. If this is the standard, Sky Sports might as well ask for my opinion.

🗣️" I'll throw in another name..."
Rob Earnshaw discusses if Michael Carrick get the Man Utd job permanently or if another name could get the role at Old Trafford? #SkySportsFC
English

@SkySportsNews De Zerbi 🤣🤣🤣
Brighton is not the same stratosphere at Utd. His name gets randomly thrown around for every prem vacancy.
Carrick isn’t doing too badly, but any manager will struggle next season without adding significant depth to the squad.

@BBCPolitics Why are we so backwards?
HS2 should have been built in the north first then down to London.
There’s a big opportunity to grow our GDP by making other parts of the country as productive as London. That only happens when good infrastructure supports it.

@Utd__max10 Great player, but has a lot of injuries. Let’s not replace Luke Shaw with another Luke Shaw.

@atrupar Trump is lying. He is using this as a stalling tactic whilst American ground troops are on the way. That will take about a week or so. Once they are in position, Trump will say the fake talks failed and launch ground operations.
English

Bartiromo: "I just spoke with President Trump and he told me that Iran wants to make a deal badly ... he said the most recent talks happened last night with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and their counterparts. With Iranian TV saying no talks have happened, the president said it's hard to get information there because the US is blowing up so much of their infrastructure"

@ReallyMrSteve @LizWebsterSBF As someone who voted to remain, rejoining would be regressive.
To say the UK is incapable of prospering outside of the EU is ridiculous. Norway and Switzerland show it’s possible, but it will take time to build our own capacity to govern independently.
English

@Real_Cornholio @LizWebsterSBF Norway said no to the UK joining EFTA back in 2019- that position has not changed.
Looks like rejoining the EU is the only, and best, option for the UK.👍

English

Aligning with EU rules is positive baby step, it reduces friction and starts to repair the damage.
But we shouldn’t pretend it’s enough.
Without the Single Market and Customs Union, we’re still paying the price of Brexit while trying to work around it.
