@Keir_Starmer Why have you introduced planning changes which allow developers to target and destroy rural villages by allowing them to convert Green belt into Grey belt unchecked against the will of everybody in the village communities. Your Government seems set on destroying rural England

I love this country. It is the greatest country in the world. We are tolerant, decent and respectful – and unity is our strength. But for too long, proud communities have been failed by politics and left powerless to do anything about it. Our Pride in Place programme changes that. We are giving people the power to build up their communities. We’ve already invested thousands into communities across Britain. Now, we are giving thousands more the opportunity to transform their local area. Putting local people in control and building a Britain that works for all.

@RoryStewartUK @realDonaldTrump I'm sure you will be fantastic, it will be a beautiful job, a lot of MAGA supporting people say you'll be the best Global Envoy for REAL Cooperation in DOGE International there will ever be in the US of A.....and the best April 1st appointment there has ever been.

🚨🇺🇸Beyond honoured to be appointed by President Trump as his new Global Envoy for REAL Cooperation in DOGE International. @realdonaldtrump’s unique style of global leadership will open new futures everywhere. Time to put partisanship aside! Thank you POTUS 🇺🇸 #MEGA”

@JDVance I suggest you check on how well this approach of talking to a tyrannical dictator went for Neville Chamberlain the UK Prime Minister when dealing with Adolph Hitler's before WW2. Vladimir Putin will not stop at Ukraine, he will regroup and go again. He wants all the USSR back

This is moralistic garbage, which is unfortunately the rhetorical currency of the globalists because they have nothing else to say. For three years, President Trump and I have made two simple arguments: first, the war wouldn't have started if President Trump was in office; second, that neither Europe, nor the Biden administration, nor the Ukrainians had any pathway to victory. This was true three years ago, it was true two years ago, it was true last year, and it is true today. And for three years, the concerns of people who were obviously right were ignored. What is Niall's actual plan for Ukraine? Another aid package? Is he aware of the reality on the ground, of the numerical advantage of the Russians, of the depleted stock of the Europeans or their even more depleted industrial base? Instead, he quotes from a book about George HW Bush from a different historical period and a different conflict. That's another currency of these people: reliance on irrelevant history. President Trump is dealing with reality, which means dealing with facts. And here are some facts: Number one, while our Western European allies' security has benefitted greatly from the generosity of the United States, they pursue domestic policies (on migration and censorship) that offend the sensibilities of most Americans and defense policies that assume continued over-reliance. Number two, Russians have a massive numerical advantage in manpower and weapons in Ukraine, and that advantage will persist regardless of further Western aid packages. Again, the aid is *currently* flowing. Number three, the United States retains substantial leverage over both parties to the conflict. Number four, ending the conflict requires talking to the people involved in starting it and maintaining it. Number five, the conflict has placed--and continues to place--stress on tools of American statecraft, from military stockpiles to sanctions (and so much else). We believe the continued conflict is bad for Russia, bad for Ukraine, and bad for Europe. But most importantly, it is bad for the United States. Given the above facts, we must pursue peace, and we must pursue it now. President Trump ran on this, he won on this, and he is right about this. It is lazy, ahistorical nonsense to attack as "appeasement" every acknowledgment that America's interest must account for the realities of the conflict. That interest--not moralisms or historical illiteracy--will guide President Trump's policy in the weeks to come. And thank God for that.

@JonathanPieNews Let them eat cake......from a food bank

I’m glad King Charles has been given a 53% pay rise. Hopefully he’ll be able to afford that roomier golden carriage he’s always wanted, for when he‘s due to make a speech about child poverty.

@jessphillips Déja vu as both the government and the leadership of the opposition have avoided calling out Israel's war crimes and effective ethnic cleansing of Gaza for six months.

Read this and weep

@pritipatel A search for 'Post Office' on your records in Hansard, the published record of Parliament, shows you never championed their cause in the House of Commons until this week. Yet another blatant lie.

I was pleased to pay tribute to the brave sub-postmasters whose fight for justice has captured the nation. Since I was elected in 2010 I have fought their cause in Parliament because for me this is personal. Post Office and Fujitsu must be held to account.

When I worked in refuge you could guarantee that the most complex case would walk through the door at 4.45pm on the Friday of a bank holiday. That hasn't changed and want to thank my staff (one who updated me on the case on her wedding day) for tirelessly fighting for citizens.

@ZDFlondon @BBCNews @bbcnickrobinson @bbclaurak care to comment on why this massive protest was ignored by the BBC yet reported in Germany.

Strikes and demonstrations in GB: Teachers, junior doctors und Tube workers walk out and fight for higher wages. Streiks und Demonstrationen in GB: Lehrer, Assistenzärzte und U-Bahn Fahrer legen die Arbeit nieder und kämpfen um höhere Löhne.

@PhilMyers53 So she took some of the money she receives as a dividend from her dad's indian company and then put it in a venture capital fund which invested it in a British company, which has now gone bust. So has completely lost 100% of her money yet you still think she has done wrong!!!!

So some context. A BILLIONAIRESS who is married to the then Chancellor, now PM, took out a loan under her husband's guaranteed loan scheme only to go bust without any legal obligation to repay the loan back which was funded by the taxpayer theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

@edezzar @eurofootcom Except Jimmy won two FA cups, and a European Cup Winners Cup and a World Cup with England during his time with Spurs.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚪️ Harry Kane has now become Tottenham's joint all-time top goalscorer: he's level with Jimmy Greaves at 266 goals.

@TheDailyShow As a UK citizen I've seen not a hint of a backlash against Rishi Sunak due to his race. Polls showed he was the most popular choice with the UK public in the summer when he lost to Liz Truss and again against Boris Johnson and Penny Mordaunt. So a completely false @Trevornoah

Unpacking the backlash against new UK PM Rishi Sunak #BetweenTheScenes

@WASPCommander @DIG60 @alanferrier @IanMartin BPL extracted life saving products from NHS donate blood plasma, including coagulation factors for treatment of hemophiliacs, immunoglobulin antibodies for treatment of a range of immuno suppressed conditions and albumin. But BSE meant it could no longer use UK plasma. .

A reminder that Jeremy Hunt, when Health Secretary, sold the state-owned NHS blood plasma supplier - Plasma Resources UK - to Bain Capital, a US company co-founded Mitt Romney, in a £230m deal. Bain Capital then sold it on to the Chinese Creat Group. For £820m.

@WASPCommander @DIG60 @alanferrier @IanMartin DCI, the US plasma collection business was purchased in 2002 by the Blair government. It did this because BSE meant it had to ban the National Blood Authority (now NHS Blood and Transplant) from using UK donated blood plasma in BPL it's plasma fractionator.

@WASPCommander @DIG60 @alanferrier @IanMartin You are incorrect. Plasma Resources UK Ltd was a business formed by joining together DCI the US plasma collection business and Bio Products Laboratory an NHS plasma fractionation business wholly owned by NHS Blood and Transplant until 2011. I was the FD.

@Ant85370504 @AnnCope16 @wesstreeting Not surprising they moved their money as Labour introduced a top rate of income tax of 83% in the seventies and then slapped another 15% super tax on top of that on unearned income i.e. from interest on investments, royalties etc. Which meant being taxed 98.% on their music.

EXCLUSIVE: am not a millionaire. I grew up on a council estate and worked in the voluntary sector. And I’ve always paid my taxes!

@4wheelsgood2 @BHakiman @JonathanPieNews

@BHakiman @JonathanPieNews I fear Sue Gray is being rather lauded by Rees-Mogg and Johnson about how awesome and fair she is. Call me cynical but I can smell something a tad fishy.....

Every syllable from this man’s throat just drips with Essence of ‘Fuck you, plebs’.

@Ravenspoint2 @ColdJustice_ @edballs It's probably May as Carrie Symonds is holding their baby who was born in April and looks only a few weeks old.

@ColdJustice_ @edballs Where is the evidence of when it was taken or are you just going to believe Balls?

I'm pretty sure this is the view from the 11 Downing Street first floor balcony...

Clear sign at #pmqs that Starmer has found a line of attack that riles Johnson - “any promises from this PM (on standards, tax, hospitals etc) aren’t worth the manifesto paper they’re written on”. PM attacks “irrelevant drivel” & then talks about who invited to LOTO Xmas party

I feel the same way about Boris Johnson.

@sajidjavid @ECB_cricket I assume you would take the same stand and demand their resignation if someone compared Muslim women to letter boxes or said black people had water melon smiles or that gay men were tank top wearing bum boys.

“Paki” is not banter. Heads should roll at Yorkshire CCC. If @ECB_cricket doesn’t take action it’s not fit for purpose.
