@RachelReevesMP More tax more tax and more money to Israel

The Budget this month will focus squarely on the priorities of the British people: cutting waiting lists, cutting the national debt and cutting the cost of living. Today I will set out the choices our country faces and the values that will guide my decisions.

@ArchRose90 Would need 7000 if they came

Remember, no Maccabi Tel Aviv fans will be travelling to this match from Israel and yet, 700 officers will be required. Israeli football fans were never the threat, the Islamist mobs are the real problem.

@George_Smooth @graeme_cobb @AutoExpress You know that at the end of the day is the customer that pays the tariffs ?

@graeme_cobb @AutoExpress Chinese industrial energy costs $0.11/kw coupled with much cheaper wages and its a non compete situation. The tarrifs should be higher to protect local production and jobs.

Interesting article by Phil McNamara from @AutoExpress that misses one vital piece of the puzzle. Back in 2019 an entry level VW Golf cost just over £18,000. Roll on to 2025 and an entry level Golf now costs just under £30,000. Inflation adjusted the Golf should cost approximately £23,000 today. This isn’t VW specific because the same is true with other legacy manufacturers. It means legacy manufacturers have left the goal wide open for Chinese manufacturers to enter - with a 10% import tariff applied - and still undercut on price. So they’ve [legacy] made themselves uncompetitive at a critical moment. The questions that need answering are: - Why are legacy manufacturers selling their cars well above inflation? - What has gone wrong to warrant high prices? - Why can’t they bring their MSRP prices down?

@WonPeople It’s rotten 😈. It’s a money pit

How to stop me buying this? £1,995 facebook.com/marketplace/it…

Never forget: In 2014, CNN was actually doing real journalism, exposing the true origins of the Ukraine conflict and holding the real culprits accountable—before the network sold out to the establishment narrative…

Everyone in their 20s I know is looking to leave. Those in finance are looking to Dubai, medics to Australia, coders to Lisbon. Salaries in the UK are too low, taxes too high, rent punitive. In a global marketplace, UK attracts unskilled young men and repels educated Brits.

@horsepower @MonsterEnergy New? Been on the market for minimum 2 years

I was looking for Pokémon cards with my daughter and found this new @MonsterEnergy flavor. I love anything apple flavored so I had to get one to try.

@AutoInfatuation What terrible cars they made. Especially the ones equipped with the notoriously unreliable 1.9 diesels. They only lasted for 8-900k miles, total junk

VAG couldn’t make a decent car between 2000 - 2010 🤔 But this chap is an industry expert……….allegedly. I’ll put it out to those of you who actually both like and know a thing or two about cars. Put some of these ‘bad’ VAG cars built in that 10 year period below 👇 I’ll start - Audi RS4 B7, built between 2005 & 2008. A notoriously terrible car with every reviewer giving horrible marks such as 4/5 and 8’s & 9’s/10 🙄👎

@1Percenterer Is that a manual???

Built on the same platform as the Bentley Continental GT, yet humble enough to have cloth seats and a manual gearbox. The base Phaeton proved that German engineering doesn’t need prestige to impress. Front-wheel drive, 241 HP, and craftsmanship that still feels Bentley-grade. A luxury car for those who didn’t care who noticed. Another weird thing, it's possible to convert any VR6 Phaeton into a manual.

Another relentless performance 🔋 Szobo is your @carlsberg Player of the Match 🏆 #Ad

@jammyapps @AutoPap Mhmm. Only difference is that the XF was released 4-5 years before the Tesla

@AutoPap Jag too

Amazing how Land Rover lives rent free in so many car companies ‘designers’ heads.

Imagine he had Bellingham's PR 😭

@MattTakeThree Time to have a 1789 moment I say . The quicker the better

@SaabEnjoyer Food, drink, 6ig salary, second home allowance, staff are family, claim back travel. But woah, someone on average UK wage?.fuck he can't have a vehicle that does exactly what it was designed for.

Anyone brighter than me care to explain why HMRC want P11D/BiK to the tune of £7-10k/pa for my mobile office. Yet, MPs who spend less time in HoC/pa than I do this, get subsidised food/alcohol at work, and their living costs totally covered? That's a week's worth/30hr

@EJ_AutoArt They have the space to drive that much 😁

Americans drive so much its crazy. Over here the general consensus is that 6000 miles a year is already pretty high mileage (80% of those miles is in traffic)

@CarSighting @funandprofitco Oh so basically the consumption is half considering the fuel is also half price haha

@funandprofitco That’s highway consumption, constantly at 130km/h without stopping 😅 I’m running on e85 though, but I’ll definitely change all the fluids and filters when I get home

Good news ! I bought a Volvo wagon Bad news !!!! The fuel consumption is criminal

That was off side af unfortunately

Verd be….@_SZD10

@TaraBull The rats

All animals suddenly gain human-level intelligence but retain their personalities. Which species starts the first war?
