@PhilMyers53 @Keir_Starmer My salary has gone down to pay staff. I now won’t be expanding and taking on more staff. Economics of the insane.

The Tories originally voted against the national minimum wage Under @Keir_Starmer, two million people have just been awarded a pay rise! #VoteLabour on 7th May

@Annewittycomb @suespeaksup I guess we’ll never know. I hope he’s ok regardless of what he said.

@RichMC50 @suespeaksup Nope. Not even implied. Not semantics. I said I wouldn’t be surprised if it was.

Scumbag move that's no need at all kid could hardly stand.. some people don't wake up from shit like that… I hope they called an ambulance immediately. Let’s pray he’s ok 🙏

@Annewittycomb @suespeaksup Haha, it was heavily implied. Feel free to argue semantics but that is what you suggested. Happy for you to reconsider your post though. Progress !

@RichMC50 @suespeaksup I never said he said anything racist. That’s the problem with not reading properly

@BCFCBorg @NaturalDru01 @suespeaksup I have no words. Talks about taking responsibility and not judging others at the same time as attaching partial blame for rape to the victim. People like this still exist ?

@RichMC50 @NaturalDru01 @suespeaksup This nonce needs looking into.

@Annewittycomb @suespeaksup No, neither were you and there’s no evidence that he said anything racist. That’s an assumption you’ve jumped to randomly. That’s the problem with seeing everything through the hysterical prism of perceived social injustice.

@RichMC50 @suespeaksup Decent? Where you there?

@Annewittycomb @suespeaksup You’ve lost me. What would political persuasion have to do with being disgusted at your idiotic comment ? You‘re wrong by the way, not that’s it’s relevant. Being decent and not vindictive is a lifestyle choice, not a political one. Try it.

@RichMC50 @suespeaksup Of course you can’t! - let me guess - you’re voting reform or restore?

@NaturalDru01 @suespeaksup They used the same argument against girls who had been raped. Thankfully society has moved on from victim blaming, so people can have a drink without fear of being blamed for violence against them.

@suespeaksup What it right to assault him, obviously no, but, is it unexpected.. again, not really. Don't want to get knocked out.. handle your drunkenness.

@Annewittycomb @suespeaksup I can’t imagine the sort of person who would see that video and then think, and post a completely unsubstantiated justification. I’m so happy I’m not you.

@suespeaksup You can see he clearly started saying something to the group walking past - wouldn’t surprise me if it was racist sh*t

@XtraLeicester Fatawu 7 doing well there

It looped over everyone Preston lead 2-1 Games turned on its head

@jeremycorbyn No refugee raped anyone…. ?

No refugee underfunded a hospital. No refugee closed a school. No refugee gave tax breaks to the rich. Instead of scapegoating refugees, let's tackle the real problem: an unjust economic system that concentrates wealth in the hands of the few.

@SteveShovlar 52% of the nation are far right ?

It’s absolutely the right time to rejoin the EU. Full membership with freedom of movement restored to all UK citizens across the board. Let’s do it. Let the far right stew on it as we take our rightful place back in the centre of Europe.

Let me explain something to the MAGA crowd, because clearly someone needs to. They seem to think NATO is cosmic room service. You pick up the phone, say “hello, we’re having a bit of a war here,” and thirty-one countries march to your rescue. A continental Uber for military adventures. That is not how it works. Article 5 is a mutual defense clause. The clue is in the word mutual. And it has been triggered exactly once in NATO’s entire history. After September 11. When America was attacked. Not Europe. America. Every NATO member showed up. They went to Afghanistan. They fought. They bled. They died. In America’s war. On America’s behalf. Now imagine they hadn’t. Over 1,100 allied soldiers died in Afghanistan. British, Canadian, German, Danish, Polish. And yes, even Ukrainian soldiers, who had no NATO obligation whatsoever. Gone. Without them, those are American names on those graves. Sons from Ohio. Fathers from Georgia. Kids from Nebraska who never came home. Then there is the money. NATO allies spent over 100 billion dollars on a war that started on American soil. Without that, Washington pays every cent. On top of the 2 to 3 trillion the war already cost. And without allied bases across Europe and Central Asia, American supply lines collapse entirely. Without British forces in Helmand and Canadians in Kandahar, the Taliban reconstitutes in three years instead of ten. The gaps get filled one way. More American deployments. More American coffins arriving at Dover. Afghanistan was bloody. But NATO took the hit. Without them, every single one of those casualties would have had an American name. Trump called allies like these losers. Suckers. If you are a certain kind of broken person, that probably makes sense to you. But for the rest of us, what those soldiers did has a different name. Honor. The bond between men who have been in the same dirt, under the same fire. Between Brits and Americans, Frenchmen and Norwegians, Canadians and Danes. Not a diplomatic relationship. A blood bond. Brotherhood forged in places most people will never see and cannot imagine. In that culture, you do not mock a fallen ally. You do not sneer at the dead. It is the lowest thing a human being can do. Trump did it to a standing ovation. If you are a MAGA supporter travelling to NATO countries, understand this. There are no friendly pats on the back waiting for you. No one will buy you a beer. The governments who share your worldview sit in Minsk, Moscow and Pyongyang. Brutal dictatorships where journalists disappear, elections are theatre and dissent is a medical condition treated in basements. Not London. Not Paris. Not Rome, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin or Ottawa. You have abandoned the open societies, the free press, the rule of law, the places where people actually want to live. You traded the best of civilization for a very small, very dark room. Frankly, it serves you right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@TheHughAnthony That statistic is just bollocks

Reminder that 1/4 of pensioners live in houses worth over a 1 million pounds. The average age for being able to buy a house in the 60s was 23 to 24 years old, with house prices on average being around £2.5k. It is now 33-34 years old with average house prices being £268k.

@THemingford You're right - everyone should earn above-average wages. That way, there will be no poor people. I'm sure that's how averages work....

£12.71. What a joke. Needs to be £23 per hour minimum. Absolute minimum.

@WorldByWolf Boomers generally didn't go to Uni. Getting your generations mixed up in your little rant. You are in a generation enjoying the highest standard of living ever.

Boomers had the single best standard of living across their entire lives than any generation in history. Free university, affordable housing, the NICE economic years, and now the triple lock on pensions. They are, in aggregate, the single most selfish generation ever. I can’t afford to own my own house, I have massive university debts, I live in a time of high youth unemployment and stagnant economic growth, and @RobertJenrick now has the temerity to suggest I want to pay more in tax to fund gold plaited pensions for the richest generation ever. I know exactly how Reform came to the decision to keep the triple lock. Farage is actually instinctively against it but he’s seen the polling that shows getting rid of the triple lock would lead to a flood of voters going to the Tories or Labour. I hope Restore Britain actually have the guts to level with people and say we can’t afford to maintain the triple lock and instead commit to some combination of raising the retirement age, capping the rate of increase, introducing a degree of means testing, and actually in the long term getting the government out of the pensions business and shifting that responsibility onto employers and employees.

@AngryBritishMum @LBC Loving the tightrope of being 100% understanding of the caller whose brother's bipolar caused them to be an anti semetic Hitler fan, yet doesn't think this excuses Kanye, mainly on the basis that he once went for dinner with Donald Trump.

James O'Brien is now tying himself in knots like a typical left-wing libtard. He is against Kanye West playing at Finsbury Park because 'Kanye is an antisemite'... ... But also, James O'Brien vigorously defended Bob Vylan & their antisemitic chants at Glastonbury 🤷‍♀️ #OBINGO @LBC

@BotFinderUK Where does it say we are rejoining the EU ?

When we rejoin EU, laws must be put in place to prevent Farage, Lowe or other such foreign actors to try to take us out again.

@Cal_III @PolitlcsUK We've all been Nick

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage formally commits to the state pension triple lock if Reform UK win the next election "The people to whom pensions are being paid, certainly compared to a younger generation today, are those who have actually worked and paid into the system"

@Sadie_NC Memory of this guy worse than Biden…

DONALD TRUMP: "Germany said, 'This is not our war.' Well, Ukraine wasn’t our war either, but we stepped up and helped you anyway!" NATO is quick to reach out with its hands open for American money and protection, but the moment we need them? They vanish. And they’ve just proven it again. After we poured hundreds of billions of dollars into Ukraine to shield Europe’s own backyard, they won’t even let our aircraft fly over their airspace or use their airfields. These Iranian missiles aren’t a threat to the American homeland, but they are absolutely within range of Europe. Right now, the United States is the one out there taking them out and protecting Europe, and Europe’s response is still, “This is not our war!” It is not acceptable.
