@kelvmackenzie Labour have gone full Communist. The only thing that saves us is a General Election.

Reform 40%. Restore 7%. Burnham 43%. The Sunday Times poll for Survation at Makerfield shows the split right will bring in our most Lefty Prime Minister ever. Grateful if Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe would put down their swords and pick up the phone.

@CurtisDaly_ If it’s not Austrian economics, it’s not economics. Discuss.

Imagine saying “learn economics” whilst pushing the economic illiteracy of thinking the country can go “bankrupt”.

@lembitopik @clim8resistance Don’t come around here with your common sense!

If 30 Celsius in UK needs a “Red Heat Alert,” why hasn’t everyone in Spain left or suffered health problems?

@NoFarmsNoFoods Wouldn’t it be quicker to just have a massive bonfire? We can all bring our belongings and just set fire to it all.

Andy Burnham says land in the UK is ‘undertaxed’. Yet more financial punishment awaits British farmers - who are already at breaking point.

@VJSaunders It’s always the fans that suffer.

Feeling a bit sad this morning, should be excited getting ready for Wembley instead it was robbed from us 😫

@itsrichwilliams I think the EFL should have awarded a 3-0 win to Boro in the 1st leg to prevent any misunderstanding that Boro lost.

Gotta say, if I was a Hull fan, I’d be pretty fuming. Surely if a team gets expelled from a competition, the protocol would be that the team they were due to face get a bye to the next round. Or, in this case, promotion. I get the EFL want the game played… but doesn’t sit right.

@meadwaj Wasn’t it Von Mises who instantly knew that communism would fail because nothing was costed correctly? Absent a functioning market, everything becomes inefficient and inevitably leads to bankruptcy. It’s never ‘different this time’

Nationalise Morrisons, use it as the foundation for a new, publicly-owned grocery store selling high quality, affordable food. National-level version of the Mamdani plan in New York. Need to think big in a world with repeated, major shocks to essential supply systems.

@Channel4News At this stage in the game, it’s just a random assortment of words. No meaning. Lost interest.

"Just because you’ve got a flag in your van and you scream at people in the street doesn’t make you a patriot." Chancellor Rachel Reeves tells Channel 4 News' Economics Editor Helia Ebrahimi that being a patriot is about "loving this country and treating other people with respect", after being heckled during a previous interview.

@AnnaClarke_____ In your world, what happens when we can’t buy food on international markets?

Attempting to grow all our own food would be the fastest way to food insecurity - a drought or bad harvest one year, and people would starve.

@raven_brah I remember my step dad saying how heartbroken he was when he got his first years mortgage statement- he owed more than when he started. That would be mid eighties. Lots of beans on toast for us kids.

Boomers seem to forget that fast food used to be a normal, everyday expense for them because it was affordable. You could get a burger easily on minimum wage, it wasn’t some fancy treat you had once a year as a reward for pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.

@Saintsfire @SouthamptonFC The penalty for league competition is a points deduction - which you got for spying during the league competition

Out of interest, what would the punishment be for @SouthamptonFC if we had finished mid table and got found out? #Saintsfc

@JustSaints_ A fine just becomes a cost of business. It has to be a sporting sanction.

Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker have both argued that #SaintsFC's removal from the Championship play-off final was unduly severe, suggesting a hefty fine would have been a far more fitting penalty.

@SaintsExtra @talkSPORT Time for some reflection, maybe?

🚨 Southampton players including Taylor Harwood-Bellis are said to be ‘raging’ at having their shot at a place in the Premier League & the lucrative salaries & status that come with it snatched away #saintsfc @talkSPORT

@VirgilHilts01 @pjcboro It a cluster f**k for sure

@X_Will_R @pjcboro It would be hard to argue that Boro's preparation time has been ideal. Far from it.

Things Southampton and other rival teams still aren’t understanding about the EFL decision - Middlesbrough have done nothing wrong - expulsion is the correct sporting sanction in a knockout competition, points don’t matter - since they also broke the regulations in the league they’re deducted points - Hull and Middlesbrough have had equally (if differently) disrupted preparations Well done the EFL

@SargetheSaint Bottom line is, Southampton management created this problem. Everyone else gets caught in the cross-fire.

I was replying to some Boro fan with this and I think this sums it up. The irony is, those three games, we lost to Oxford, drew to Ipswich and drew to Boro. We literally gained nothing but lost everything. Feel so sorry for our fans. #SaintsFC

@pjcboro That said, not all of the training is specific to the team you are playing

@pjcboro Boro have been training in the expectation that they would be in the final. Maybe not full throttle but nevertheless they have been training since Monday.

@MyLordBebo @LeilaniDowding This is what happens when hurty words are prioritised over violence.

🇬🇧 ENRAGING - BRIT STABBED BY THE SIKH COURT VIDEO BITS: Mr Nowak can be heard saying “can’t breathe.” Police put handcuffs on Mr Nowak, who was lying on his side, telling officers he had been stabbed and that he could not breathe. The officer told Mr Nowak that he was under arrest for suspicion of assault. Mr Nowak repeated that he had been stabbed. A male voice said: “I don’t think you have, mate.” -> He drowned in own blood, as his lungs filled with blood … and died while the cops handcuffed him for racism.
