@GBNEWS Let me get this straight. Your defence is a kick to the head that happened after you assaulted a police officer? Compounded by the public outcry after everybody watched you assault a police officer. I'm not a lawyer, but a vetoed trial isn't innocence thugs

‘Orgy of race hate!’ Solicitor for Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad, Aamer Anwar, speaks outside Liverpool Crown Court following the decision to veto a third trial of the two brothers over the alleged assault of a police officer.

@BenGrahamUK turning the heating off while you visit Alton Towers would save more money

Rachel Reeves & Keir Starmer were bragging a few days ago telling Brits how they'll save £5-10 off a zoo ticket or a theme park visit. Today, families wake up to news that energy bills are set to rise another £221 a year. This government is offering discount days out while people struggle to afford heating their homes. How can anyone seriously trust them anymore?

@paulafr68963440 And look at you now, Quiche on a weekday. Proud of you

My Mrs.has just walked to our Co-Op, for a paper and a Quiche. The chap in front of her at the payout had four takeaway coffees. They were over £15. My first weekly wage was just over a fiver. ffs.

@bagshaw2112 MVE 823R - 1976 Mini 1000 paid £50 for it in 1988. Spent many hours and much ££ on it.

Can you remember your 1st Car number plate ? This was my car - A Simca 1100 BWB 852M - cost £600 and the wing was built out of the News of the World news paper (I kid you not ) #nostalgia - #memories #firstcar #numberplate

@lukejcr The Labour party are in government because the Conservatives failed. Their only hope of staying in Government is to gaslight the nation into thinking anybody else would be worse. The reality is, there is nothing worse. Deliver or be gone.

Reform UK appears to have a very, very big problem with misogyny. There are now so many shocking stories and incidents that it’s becoming incredible hard to ignore. Want to know about some of these stories? I’ve collated a few. And there’s LOTS more out there. Read this.👇 Last week, a man was filmed harassing and heckling abuse at Rachel Reeves from a van. Senior Reform figures’ response? Jokes about buying him a pint, about giving him a peerage. No condemnation, just laughs. This week, Reform’s by-election candidate for Makerfield was reported to have said women have abortions for “vanity purposes.” He also allegedly claimed he’d “rank higher” than a female presenter and former footballer because he’s played FIFA. I mean, seriously? But those are recent events. Let’s dig deeper. The former Reform candidate for Gorton and Denton was allegedly caught on video saying young girls and women need a “biological reality” check. Like something straight out of the Handmaid’s Tale. A Reform councillor reportedly told an International Women’s Day event that some women “should never have left the kitchen.” Really? Another Reform candidate before the last General Election allegedly referred to women as “thick tarts.” Outrageous. Another candidate for the last General Election allegedly replied to a post telling girls they could achieve anything they want by reportedly saying: “fertilising eggs and providing Y chromosomes.” Ridiculous. Inside the party itself, some women are walking away. Some councillors have reportedly resigned over what they describe as “misogynistic undertones.” At some point, you have to stop asking about these cases in question. You start asking what it says about the party that keeps being associated with people who show such behaviour. In some cases, apparently defending them, laughing along with them, and promoting them. Culture comes from the top, and this appears to be a deep and pervasive culture of misogyny. And don’t forget, a fish rots from the head down. You may remember Nigel Farage told a female journalist to “write some silly story” and when told he may have upset her, replied: “Good.” You may also remember he told a BBC presenter asking serious questions: “Listen love, you’re trying ever so hard.” Is that an acceptable way to behave? Don’t forget, Reform have also reportedly said they would repeal the Equality Act to protect against sexism. The thing is, if we normalise men shouting abuse at women in the street and the response from our politicians is laughter or mockery, we are in a very dark place. None of this is culture war noise. It’s a signal about what kind of country we become if these people win power. Reform want to run Britain. Think about what that means for your daughter. Your sister. Your mum. Stopping Reform isn’t just politics as usual. It’s a moral mission. The thing is, Reform have admitted before they’ve got a few bad apples. But there’s only so many bad apples you can find until you start to think that the whole orchard is rotten.

@rorysutherland I own several fire extinguishers. After a while, I replace them with new ones.

Most things we buy spend 95% of their time doing nothing. My kettle, for instance. Most of my cups and mugs. Most of my clothes. Total slackers, the lot of them. My house has been doing nothing since 1781.

@alphafox My ESP32 takes a bit longer to boot up.

This could come in handy: 😈

@thef1journal_ Schumacher was a spectacular talent. But capable of some cunning stunts.

OTD 20 years ago: Michael Schumacher was disqualified from Monaco qualifying after deliberately stopping on track to stop other drivers beating his pole time. #F1

@JohnSwinney This is not the week to be asking for control of any budget.

People across Scotland will be deeply worried by another rise in energy bills announced today. We produce enormous amounts of energy, yet despite Labour’s promises to cut them, bills keep soaring. It’s time Scotland had control of Scotland’s energy.

@mhmd_s09 It might have been a good idea for the person who put the camera there, to have warned the child about the explosive they'd planted and were filming. Unless, oh......oh. nevermind.

One of the most horrific scenes in human history has been revealed. The moment a small child carrying a water jug ​​to her besieged and thirsty family was bombed, killing her and shattering her body. A video the world must never forget.

@NathanPSI The different colour temps of those monitors would drive me up the wall

Going back to the past was fun 👌

@NipseyHoussle Hello, the 1970's called and they want you to return your point of view.

Interesting thing about being an American in Europe: Europeans don’t work weekends. Ever. You might think, well, nobody works weekends. But in the US there are whole industries built around it. Real estate agents. Car dealerships. Saturday and Sunday are the business. Not here. If you want to see a house or test drive a car, you take time off work to do it. Somehow this is normal. I don’t know how they pull it off. But they do.

@hewantswealth I work, I don't claim any benefit, not a pensioner. I still get free prescriptions, it's not an unreasonable question to ask.

Picked up a prescription today and had to pay £10. Woman asked if I get it free, to which I answered, how would I get it free out of curiosity? She said if I was unemployed, on JSA or any other income benefits…got me thinking. The incentive to NOT work in this country just comes with too many benefits! If you work, you pay…if you don’t work, you get it free! What’s the point, honestly? 😂 Can’t even save tax free in my ISA as of next year…very unserious country we live in the UK.

@HMBohemond If you built stone houses, there'd be a lot less wood flying about in the first place

Sorry but your poorly ventilated stone houses wouldn't survive a storm that can turn planks of wood into armor piercing projectiles either.

@petemorristwit A. Yes - dead B. You breathe out CO2, so evetually you run out of O2 and die. You alone in the room are your own downfall. You need a system to convert CO2 back into O2 to survive. If you exceed it's output of O2, you die This is not climate science

I'm not 100% on this...But. If you were locked in a room that contained 'only' CO2, would that kill you? Conversely. If you were locked in a room containing absolutely no CO2. Would that kill you? If the answer to the second question is yes.? So endeth the climate change net zero argument, at a stroke.

@thesundaysport I can equate to that

Thought I'd run this up the flagpole and see who imagineers it... dailymail.com/news/article-1…
