@jo59412nl @DavidMcGregorBN why not both

@DavidMcGregorBN One school meal a day isn’t going to make a child obese. It’s the fizzy drinks, sweets, fast food at home. Families need to be given lessons on how to make cheap nutritious food and then maybe their money would go further if they weren’t buying crap that doesn’t fill you up.

People will be annoyed at this, probably call it woke. But giving a kid access to healthy food at a young age is crucial. I say that from experience, I was 17 stone at 16. I had zero experience or knowledge about the food I should've been eating.

@_SignalNotNoise @TheEverydayMan_ @PolitlcsUK they have been cooking it differently in most schools for decades tbf. i agree that the lifestyle bit needs to change and that technology plays a massive part in it. but dunno how you arrived at the conclusion that you should vote for a far-right party with views like that

@TheEverydayMan_ @PolitlcsUK No it’s a Friday thing man 🇬🇧 They don’t serve it daily do they? Either way they’re talking about banning it full stop. Maybe they could just cook it differently.

🚨 NEW: Fried food including chicken nuggets and fish and chips will be banned from being served in schools to reduce obesity Pizza and sausage rolls will be severely limited, and desserts will also need to be at least 50% fruit

@Conservatives nationalisation with nigel farage? am i losing my fucking mind?

We are the party of hard work and aspiration. On 7th May, Vote Conservative to Get Britain Working Again 🚀

Drug deaths have risen every year for 13 years. That’s 13 years of a failed “war on drugs”. Labour should be looking at legalisation, control and regulation - not playing politics with people’s lives. This is a public health crisis. Treat it like one. Not a game.

i will be performing my seminal piece 'opening my birthday cards in eastbourne wetherspoons' at quarter past four this afternoon

@Norma5387953815 Party on dude!

we've regressed so much as a society I don't even like telling 22 year olds how good it used to be because it's just so unfair

おはようございます☕️ 朝から静かな雨ふりです☔️ 先日買ったマンチェスターのナイスなインディポップで三連休スタート！ Slumberland Recordsは昔からいいバンドのリリースが多くて安心と信頼のインディレーベルなのだ☺️✨ youtu.be/vz121Esfoho Autocamper / What Do You Do All Day?(2025)🇬🇧

AutocamperのSpotifyでのバイオが「not anorak, not twee, not lucky, just pop」で良かった。アノラックってワードをジャンル名みたいに使うのって日本だけかと勝手に思ってたけど別にそんなことないか。

@technopopulist what the fuck are you talking about

I am sorry to say this, but I think the Greens are the most anti-British party in our history. I cannot think of a movement so dedicated to the impoverishment, immiseration and cultural degradation of our people.

An Observation on Angela Rayner and the Labour Government: One cannot help but feel a measure of sympathy for Angela Rayner. I know her well enough to say that she came into politics for the best of reasons: a desire to serve, a determination to improve the lives of people whose struggles she understood from her own experience. But the further up the ladder one climbs in politics, the more insistent the temptations become. This is not simply about individual weakness or personal failing. It is structural. Over the past 40 years, Britain has built a society in which consumption, status, and proximity to wealth have become defining features of the political class. The gravitational pull of money is now so great that even those who arrive in Westminster with the clearest sense of purpose find their heads turned. Angela’s story is not unique. She came from humble beginnings, but the wealth that circles political life today is more concentrated, more brazen, and more intrusive than in the past. The old checks and balances, party rootedness in mass membership, trade union accountability, a press less entangled with oligarchic interests, have all weakened. Where once honour, public service, even a sense of historical duty could command respect, today those values are dimmed in comparison to the pursuit of material position. The mechanism is subtle but relentless. It is not corruption in the brown-envelope-under-the-table sense. It is the slow, almost invisible turning of heads. You are introduced to those who walked this path before you, former ministers who now sit comfortably in boardrooms or on the payroll of consultancies with six and seven-figure salaries. You are invited to corporate boxes at sporting events, to private dinners, to concerts and premiers. Lavish clothes or spectacles can be “within the rules,” provided they are declared. But by then the damage has been done. The message is implicit but unmistakable: play the game, listen to us, and you too can enjoy more of this. The logic creeps into your personal life. You stretch to buy the house that can host the right gatherings. You measure your worth by the standards of a world that equates success with possessions and proximity to privilege. And once you are on that path, it is hard to step off. This is, of course, a simplification of a complex socio-economic and political process. But as someone who came from a council estate myself, I see it all around me in Westminster. And it is not going to be changed by media witch-hunts, the tutting of ethics advisers, or even the occasional burst of public outrage. As Gladstone once warned, “Nothing that is morally wrong can be politically right.” But in our current system, what is morally questionable is too often normalised, excused, and rebranded as “just the way things are.” Real change will only come from a collective decision to choose a different path: to stop outsourcing our state to private interests, to end the revolving door between government and corporate boardrooms, to challenge the idea that the role of politics is to serve vast concentrations of wealth. We can choose differently. We can once again put community, solidarity, and public service at the heart of our political life. We can insist that worth is measured not in the size of one’s house or the company one keeps, but in the contribution one makes to society and the integrity with which one serves. Until we do, until we decide as a polity to hold up those values rather than the glittering prizes of private gain, hese scandals will not just recur. They will define the very character of our politics.

was doing crosswords with the mafia in my dream last night and woke up in my parents house with no job

.@BBCNewsnight what the hell is this nonsense? you say palestine action are incomparable to other direct action protest groups and then it's straight on to cocomelon and mr beast vs piers morgan? who tf cares? lib dem was fine but @adamfleming @kateferguson4 you're both disturbed

The trouble with Thatcher is you eventually run out of things you don't own to sell off cheaply by calling it 'privatisation' to your billionaire backers.

@Keir_Starmer have you considered it's those companies tearing at the fabric of civilised, respectable british life and not the workers being exploited by them? fucking helmet

We’re cracking down on migrants working illegally as food delivery riders. We'll share asylum accommodation locations with Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats so they can take action if riders are staying there. We will do what it takes to ensure fairness for British people.

@Keir_Starmer surely you ought proscribe every water company as a terrorist organisation......

We’re fixing Britain’s broken water industry — tackling pollution and backing customers.   No more neglect. No more excuses.   We promised change. We’re delivering it.
