A Salty Dog

@Pete_Bassist @BBCPolitics Yep, even exported to Norway! 🥳

@Worcs @BBCPolitics For one day.

Will the PM approve licences for Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields in North Sea? Kemi Badenoch asks Keir Starmer says “oil and gas is coming out of the North Sea 24/7”, the only way to take control of energy prices is through “renewables” #PMQs bbc.in/47UF06x

@Miketu72 @BBCPolitics Electricity: National Grid. grid.iamkate.com

@Worcs @BBCPolitics I’m assuming that’s Electricity supply/demand which is only 18-20% of UK energy demand. What about the rest? The millions of uses in plastics etc derived from oil & gas?

@Ramma_____ 😂😂😂😂😂

🤷🏻

@Ethan__Todd2 It was our best attacking move of the season. The midfield passing, Xhaka spotting Sadiki in space, LeFee on the overlap to the touchline and Brobbey move to the front post. Brilliant move

So, so much to love about winner vs #NUFC, ans shows what Sunderland must do more of ⬇️ THIS is what our attacking can + must keep being - fast, line-breaking passes w 2 8s (LF and Sadiki here) crashing space to support Brobbey Lethal play #SAFC

@Lord_Talbot64 @daniellismore An Idiot Responds.

@daniellismore Immigration is the problem. An increase in the population of 10 million since the year 2000. almost entirely due to immigration is the cause of the housing crisis.

They keep saying migrants are the reason you cannot get a home. Sit with the numbers for a second. There are 242,000 people in England facing the worst forms of homelessness. Around 32,000 asylum seekers are in hotels. That is the figure they want you to picture. That is the image they repeat. Now look at what they leave out. There are 998,000 empty homes in England. Over 265,000 have been sitting empty long term. Entire streets. Entire blocks. Locked up while people are told there is no space. Then there is land. Not green fields. Not the last bits of nature left around towns. Brownfield land. Former industrial sites. Places already built on and abandoned. Reports show almost 1.5 million homes could be built there. So the truth is uncomfortable for them. This is not a shortage created by migrants. It is a system that leaves homes empty while people sleep in temporary accommodation. It is a choice to ignore brownfield land while threatening green space. It is a failure of policy not an invasion of people. The numbers do not support the story they are selling. Every person in temporary housing and every asylum seeker in a hotel could be housed without touching a single piece of greenbelt. The capacity already exists. The land already exists. The homes already exist. Blaming migrants is easier. It is louder. It gets headlines. Fixing the system would require actually doing the work.

@TerraOrBust @JackWDart @MikeFay44 🥳 Another post where you are unable to argue against any point in my post. Silly know nowt incel. Everyone one knows you are a trolling habitual liar. And keep proving it! 🤣

@Worcs @JackWDart @MikeFay44 Aw sweetie You still struggling with facts and reality? There there sweetie. There there.

Brexit cost this country £180 billion a year in lost economic output, enough to build 140 new hospitals every single year. The people who did it are now asking for your vote again. #Brexit #NigelFarage #ReformUK

@TerraOrBust @JackWDart @MikeFay44 You don’t do facts daft lad. 🤣 You’re a proven deluded liar and that’s why you can’t counter what I posted. The thickest of the thick .👍

@TerraOrBust @JackWDart @MikeFay44 You’ve been called hundreds of times for posting bollox and now you are posting jessop. 🤣 In the real world trade has got lower, poor trade deals , costs increased, businesses have transferred to the EU including City jobs. The only argument you have is how big is the damage.

@JackWDart @MikeFay44 HAHAHAHAHAHA Sort Jack but neither you, nor your garbage numbers, pass the smell test. x.com/i/status/20347…

@KeyworkerMan @reformexposed As a reformer and fagash apologist you could have stopped after the first 4 words.

@reformexposed I have no idea what the Express is referring to here? 🙄

Total chaos.

@05ryan_ Are they wearing some kind of bondage bra?

Next stop - Liverpool 📍 Tomorrow we go again this time in my own city 😏 Let’s show them unwashed minty anti facist without a pot to piss in Liverpool is a White City white & proud we do not condone multicultural here in Merseyside Power to the white man !!!

@danny__kruger Lot of words to confirm your bigotry when the first severn were enough.

Nick Timothy and Nigel Farage are right, and Sadiq Khan and Keir Starmer are wrong. Small groups of people, of whatever religion, praying in public places is fine. And as a Christian country we should allow a special privilege for churches to lead services in our national spaces, like the Palm Sunday celebration that happens in Trafalgar Square. What we don't want is mass ritual observances intended to claim the civic realm for another religion, or assert the domination of another culture over our own Christian traditions. What happens in our national spaces is not neutral. People use Trafalgar Square, for celebrations and demonstrations, to make a point about the kind of country they want us to be. The Palm Sunday pageant reminds us of who we are - not as individuals (many or most of us don't identify as Christians at all) but as a national community, with the roots of our institutions in the ground of the Bible and our most solemn communal moments, from coronations to funerals, mediated through the liturgies of the Church. A mass Adhan held there, or in any town square, is making a different point: that Britain is not a Christian country, and that - inshallah - one day it shall be Muslim. This is unacceptable to the British public and indeed incompatible with our constitution. As ever with these debates, the issue is partly one of kind and partly one of degree. There is an issue with Islam itself as a religion which in most interpretations does not admit of pluralism or freedom of conscience, and therefore is inherently aggrandising, including over territory. But with a bit of confidence and a bit of toleration we could handle that - if it were not for the issue of degree. It is the scale of Islam in Britain, and the ambition of its leaders for greater scale, that makes the problem. The numbers of people who assembled for the adhan in Trafalgar Square, clearly and openly claiming the territory for a faith with no connection (indeed, with strong doctrinal disagreement) with the model of Western liberal democracy that Britain has developed and exported to the world - that is the problem. The numbers, whether everyone there understood it this way or not (and I suspect many did), convey an explicit threat to the foundations of our country. Being relaxed about other people's religion is a good thing, a very British thing. I don't mind modern druids dancing around Stonehenge in my constituency (arguably, though the historicity is tenuous, they have a claim to the place). I don't mind small groups of Hindus or Buddhists or Muslims demonstrating the reality of Britain's religious toleration by worshiping in Trafalgar Square. But let's not kid ourselves about this adhan, or pretend that we're just seeing another harmless expression of Britain's religious diversity. We are seeing an abuse of liberalism, led by people who are not themselves liberal; or - let us imagine they are acting in good faith - who are themselves deceived about what they are doing. It should not happen again. And it would be good to hear the Church of England say so.

@Eyeswideopen69 Blinky firmly put back into his box 🤣

Starmer has more than halved net migration since you were in the cabinet Chris, and it is projected to fall to just 70K by the end of the year. One has to ask, what the fuck were you doing for fourteen years? Eating cake and partying we know about — what else?

@TheEventGB @Zero_4 But he did say EU payment should go towards hospitals. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

@Zero_4 Nigel Farage wasn’t part of that campaign. More spin and lies because their arguments are weak

Former Green MP Caroline Lucas: “Do you trust this man (Reform’s James Orr), I would like to ask you?” *audience laughs* Caroline Lucas: “Because I have a vision of a bus with £350m” *audience applauds* #bbcqt

@NJ_Timothy Could have just kept quiet and ducked the pelters but you had to double down. jewishnews.co.uk/thousands-defy…”%20Black%20said.&text=“For%20thousands%20of%20years%2C%20the,London's%20most%20visible%20civic%20spaces.

The wilful misunderstanding in this post says everything about the people behind the “Islamophobia” definition. The point is not that Sikhs have danced on Trafalgar Square. Or that the Passion Play has been hosted there. Neither is the point that Muslims gathered on Trafalgar Square. The point is that mass ritual prayer in public - in this case next to a church - is an act of domination. So is the public call of the Adhan, which explicitly denies other religions including Christianity. That is the difference. And yet neither Dominic - nor the Labour MPs who were instructed by No10 to attack me last night - will engage with the substance. Instead he claims he knows my personal views when we haven’t talked, and incorrectly describes me as a spokesman for the Free Speech Union. People like Dominic can’t work out why the ideological world they built is falling apart. They never pause to wonder if perhaps they might have got things very badly wrong.

@_GeorgeFinch What a great day for lad, survived by one vote, had a guffaw at a bit of casual racism and didn't get assaulted by pretendy people in the street.

The Greens, Lib Dem’s and Labour today attempted to remove me as Leader of Warwickshire County Council. They failed.

@NJ_Timothy Chanukah in Trafalgar Square. So much for British values of tolerance and respect of other religions. Nick Timothy stirring the hate pot again.

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

@NJ_Timothy Nothing polite about intolerance. We British are better than the content of your post

@1878BlueSoul @DaleVince Look kids! a racist

Just to be clear, tax dodging is the common term for tax avoidance (legal but unethical) as opposed to tax evasion (illegal and unethical).   Avoiding tax is not a good look from someone who wants to run our country. Using rare and complex methods unavailable to normal people - takes away this lame attempt to re frame the issue as not paying more than you need to.

@ukJ0N Hard of thinking caught not thinking again. 🤣

This is gold – Richard Tice took on The Times' criticism of his tax affairs straight away in this morning's press conference, then exposed the real dodgy dealings: Labour's massive £30 million property portfolio with ZERO corporation tax paid in 25 years. Hypocrites caught red-handed! @TiceRichard #ReformUK
