@DanielJHannan @abbeylinegold Unfair. There really is no comparison between a professional vocal bore and a one-off expression of genuine feelings. Don't fall into the trap of thinking politicians should be exempt from forceful criticism.

@abbeylinegold Indeed. I had that halfwit shouting in my face only on Tuesday. The people who cheer hecklers who happen to agree with them, but disdain others, are always going to be in the majority, human nature being what it is. That is why I predicted that my position would be unpopular.

I sense that this is out of temper with the times but, for once, I am on Rachel Reeves’s side. Civility matters in politics and, if we stop policing the boundaries, things slide very quickly. I’m afraid I don’t see it as remotely brave to shout at a woman while you drive away.

@Danjsalt Might be poorly paid (relatively) by the state, but they increase their wealth massively (donations & fees). So they are in it for wealth and power. I think it's great to see an ordinary person getting a chance to tell it like it is. No threats. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

It's funny but I also don't like it We need to aim for a politics where politicians are held to account but not unpleasantly like this I'm the biggest critic of many of them but it's a crap job which they aren't paid enough for

@DanielJHannan @davidberens She's not "a woman" she's the CoE. He was direct, not rude. She chose public life, he took probably his only chance as a "hard working person" to give direct feedback. Oh, and "while driving off"? No doubt he had work to do to pay her tax rises. Boundaries yes, ivory towers no.

@davidberens Yes, we are a dwindling minority. Still, if only for the record, you can support free speech unequivocally and, and the same time, choose not to exercise that right in deliberately obnoxious ways. This does not make you unmanly, Marxist, a cuck, etc.

‼️I am staggered at this post from a PM who has watched hate filled matches on our streets every week for 2 years. And has never spoken like this. Today, he labels every single person in this country, black, white and all shades in between, who are concerned about social cohesion and cultural erosion, as Racist and thugs. It is unforgivable 🚨

@Artemisfornow More than enough for someone on the right to have been sent to Prison for 12m+ and thus be unable to stand as an MP. Let alone PM.

This is Wes Streeting … The man who believes he has the talent to be the new Prime Minister. The man who stands firmly against hate speech… And these are some of the posts he has made on X Always keep the receipts. (Verified by Grok and reported in the media)

@AngelaRayner Which experts advised you to pay standard rate SDLT?

I welcome HMRC’s conclusion, which has cleared me of any wrongdoing. I have been exonerated by HMRC of the accusation that I deliberately sought to avoid tax. When purchasing a home of my own with a mortgage, I did not own any other property and had no personal financial interest in the court-instructed trust set up to manage my son’s financial award. I was advised by experts that I should pay stamp duty at the standard rate. I set out to pay the correct amount of tax. I took reasonable care and acted in good faith, based on the expert advice I received, and HMRC has accepted this. I have always sought to act with integrity, and I believe politicians should be held to high standards - that is why I resigned from government and cooperated fully with HMRC.  I wanted to ensure that I paid every penny that I owed, and have done so. I am relieved that my family can now move on - and that I can get on with my job.

@GaryStevensUK Carlton Palmer's account @CarltonPalmer sent exactly the same message. Wondered if he was leaving Lucy and setting up home with you 😀

HACKED !!!!!! My account still appears to be in the hands of someone else who has posted another inaccurate post ! I’ll get this sorted …. 🥊 💪

Pass it on if you feel the same.

@rodbishop15 Shomrim, possibly?

Good to see a member of the public joining in. Hopefully the #Met will understand why this scumbag needed a few head kicks. #GoldersGreen

@thecoastguy Try Money Saving Expert Parking Forum.

This was one of those ones where there was a sign at the entry to a business park, that I missed, about different coloured bays for different businesses. Would you pay it?

@VeronicaJoPo Went last Friday. Our first visit too. Stunning. But your photos do it more justice than ours!

Sunset this beautiful Thursday evening at the Tapping Tulips in Norfolk 🌷🧡🌷 An amazing first visit 🥰 #norfolk #tulips #spring #tappinghousehospice

No, it stands for English civilisation winning. You stand for putting treacherous lawyers who collaborate with criminals in charge of lawfare against the SAS. A future regime will jail your mate Hermer and RICO through your network RETWEET IF AGREE

Hey @Morrisons I will never buy ONE thing from you ever again unless this guy, trying to stop shoplifting, is reinstated. RETWEET IF YOU AGREE

@ArchRose90 @SuellaBraverman Some Tories. And Andrew Boff.

Back in 2023, @SuellaBraverman highlighted that asylum seekers pretending to be gay was "absurd and unsustainable". She was vilified, attacked by some fellow Tories (Andrew Boff heckled her), Yvette Cooper accused her of “scapegoating”. She turned out to be right, again.

@georgeachillea AND - he admits that Refs don't give a 2nd yellow for an offence that would get a 1st. Judge each on its merits, surely. Never mind that this could have been BBs 3rd or 4th.

This has wholeheartedly made me mad again… “If the keeper wasn’t there” what the fuck are you talking about? It’s BECAUSE the keeper is there is what makes it dangerous as Brobbey sees him approaching so PURPOSELY pushes Romero into Kinsky to cause them harm in the hopes of an advantage If Romero did the same in reverse I guaranteed you every media outlet would be saying he deserves an 8 match ban. Embarrassing.

Today the Southport Inquiry published its findings. I’m not talking about the agencies right now. I’m talking about his parents. Because somebody fucking has to. I’m a former detective. 21 yrs in the force, I know what I’m looking at🧵👇

@miriam_cates Would you direct us to your campaign to make all public sector (including MPs) pensions fair, and less of a drain on the (rapidly dwindling number) taxpayer?

Is the state pension really so 'meagre'? Let's take a look... The basic state pension is just £12,547 a year. But... Only around 15% of pensioners rely on the state pension alone. The vast majority have other income from private pensions etc., which is exactly how our system is designed to work (and why the UK has generous tax breaks for pension contributions). The small proportion of pensioners whose only source of income is the state pension are entitled to other benefits in addition, including pension credit, housing benefit and council tax support. A pensioner with no other income, no savings, no disabilities, no care responsibilities and rent of £800 per month is entitled to £401.55 a week in benefits including state pension, which is £20,881 a year. For comparison, a full time minimum wage worker has an after tax income of £21,364. Unlike a pensioner, a full time minimum wage worker is not entitled to free travel, free prescriptions, a winter fuel payment or senior citizens discounts. £21,000 a year is not a lot of money. But the very poorest pensioners have similar incomes to low-wage workers. Given the greater costs faced by those who are working, it's perhaps not surprising that working age adults are now more likely to live in poverty than pensioners. And at the other end of the scale, one in four pensioners are millionaires and still receive the basic state pension, paid for by current tax payers (including those on minimum wage). No one (definitely not me) is suggesting that the state pension should be reduced for the poorest pensioners. But pension spending now accounts for half of the UK's social security budget and, given the urgent need to cut government spending, we must consider reforms like means-testing and scrapping the triple lock.

@grahamwfc @mjdaly57 @akaChivato Steady!

@mjdaly57 @akaChivato Someone has a sense of humour sending him spurs tickets

David Lammy has been the Labour MP for Tottenham since 2000. He is currently the Deputy Prime Minister, Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor. David has had a rewarding and successful career thus far. He has travelled all over the world in his roles as Shadow and actual Foreign Secretary. He is officially titled ‘Envoy Extraordinaire’ in his role at the University of Guyana 🇬🇾 and indeed, David’s career as an MP has been extraordinary on many levels. David has said that Margaret Thatcher was a ‘“visionary leader for the UK”.’ Whether David’s predecessor in Tottenham, Bernie Grant, would have agreed with him is open to question. David has described himself as a ‘“liberal, progressive Zionist”’ and is a member of the lobby organisation Labour Friends of Israel. The @ElectoralCommUK and Register of Interests show that David has received £752,849.60 in donations and perks. These include: £70,000 from Gary Lubner. £67,674 in 2 payments from the Trevor Chinn, Martin Taylor, Gary Lubner funded/Morgan McSweeney/Josh Simons run consortium @LabourTogether £12,500 from Lord Waheed Alli. £30,000 from Transilluminate Ltd. £5,000 from Samantha Hackett. £10,000 from @SilkRdConsult £2,500 from Clare Parsons. £7,000 from Lady Susan Woodford Hollick. £20,000 from Lady Jeanne Marie Davies. £7,500 from Richard Geer. £15,000 from Richard Lewis. £25,000 from one George Brown. (There is effectively no information on who this George Brown is or what he does as is the case with quite a few of David’s donors.) £24,739 from Conservation International do Brasil. 🇧🇷 £15,000 from Jonathan Stone. £10,000 from Stephen Fitzgerald. £2,500 from Tony Langham. £5,000 from Karen Blackett. £3,000 from @BuchlerPhillips £805 from the University of Glasgow to cover David’s accommodation, refreshments and transport when he received his honorary degree. 📜 David has a successful parallel career as a public speaker. He travels all over the world to speak at prestigious events: political and cultural meetings, literary festivals, Bilderberg conventions, war veteran commemorations and more. David is remunerated for these speaking engagements and has received approximately £78,896 to date. Another rewarding parallel career for David has been his stints on various radio shows. The Register of Interests shows that David has received approximately £110,145 from @LBC, Global Radio, @ITG_Ltd and other media outlets. 🎙️ Approximately £7,000 in tickets and hospitality from @SpursOfficial for ⚽️ matches and other sporting events. 🥊 £800 in tickets and hospitality from @getir for a match at @SpursOfficial ⚽️ With his approximately £200,000+ salary, expenses, donations, rental income, perks, speaking engagements, radio and media appearances, visiting professorships, his continuing ties as an ‘Associate Tenant’ to Doughty Street Chambers and his shareholdings in the Pomeroon Trading Company, there can be no doubt that David has enjoyed a very successful 26 years as an MP. And as an MP, David initially voted to retain the two-child benefit cap, voted to scrap the winter fuel payment, voted for the welfare changes that will impact people who are disabled and unwell, voted against an inquiry into grooming gangs and voted to scrap trials by jury. ‘The Labour Party - Working For You’. @DavidLammy @UKLabour #LocalElections2026 @_LFI #LabourDoorstep @LabourTottenham @Channel4News @BBCNews @AJEnglish @GBNEWS

@SBarrettBar @NewCultureForum Which pub?
