@LeeHurstComic Hang the billionaires as they’re no bloody use any more.

Question for all socialists. You get your wish and tax the rich. In fact you take every penny from every British billionaire (£185 billion). Your UK NHS budget is £206 billion. You are £21 billion short. Next year you have no billionaires to steal from. What’s your next move?

@Murk441 Flog the little sod

my son did this to my chair.. what should i do??😭😭😭😭

@michaelnixon70 @KiMcGuinness @Keir_Starmer @Heidi_Labour Because you hardy sons of the north can cope better, anyway you aren’t allowed whippets on the bus.

Why does London get free travel for over 60s but on Tyneside we have to wait to 67 ? @KiMcGuinness @Keir_Starmer @Heidi_Labour

@jacksonhinklle Communism with Chinese characteristics isn’t communism, it’s just authoritarianism.

🇨🇳 If Communism doesn't work, then WHY is China the MOST advanced country on Earth?

I am all in favour of electoral reform. Some kind of PR. And an IQ and income test for the franchise. Anyone with an IQ below 85 or without paid employment shouldn’t be allowed to vote for MPs. Maybe they can vote for the town council instead.

@acslambert @AdamJSchwarz Charles is the scion of a thousand years of royal breeding, he’s unlikely to be in awe of a jumped up shit stain like Trump.

@AdamJSchwarz Charles is in awe of the greatest US president in history.

Trump is trying his toxic beta-male handshake, and Charles is having absolutely none of it.

You have ONE front row ticket 🎟! Who are you gonna see? Hmm 😒 🤔?¿

@mokhanhim Does anyone remember the tale of the boy who cried wolf?

Why does it seem almost nobody believes or cares that somebody allegedly tried to kill Trump?

@rshereme European countries should launch a determined asymmetric campaign to detach Belarus from Russia. Play Russia’s campaign to detach the USA from NATO back at them with a dose of their own medicine and some good old Cold War tactics.

An attack on the Baltic states is entirely plausible, and here’s why. There are at least three reasons. First and foremost: russia risks nothing. No matter how events unfold with the occupation of the Baltic countries, things will not get worse for russia. Sanctions are already in place. Europe no longer buys its oil or gas. Weapons are being supplied to Ukraine. From a purely military perspective, russia also risks nothing. It has nuclear weapons, so if it wins and occupies the Baltics, or even parts of them, no one will be able to push it out. And if it loses, it will not lose its own territory. It will simply retreat to its borders, and NATO will not invade russian territory because of those same nuclear weapons. So why not try? Second reason: the goals of the war. The objectives of russia go far beyond the occupation of the Baltics. Above all, russia is interested in weakening or dismantling NATO and the EU. From this perspective, any territorial gain in the Baltics would count as a victory. Even if russia does not capture Vilnius or Tallinn, but only a few border villages, that would still be a win, because it would demonstrate NATO’s inability to defend its members. So again, why not try? Third reason: russia has sufficient forces and resources in the potential conflict zone to carry out military objectives and achieve an acceptable outcome. In the Leningrad Military District, there is a combat-ready army of around 70,000 troops, which can easily be reinforced with reserves from the Ukrainian front. This army is mechanized, with around 700 tanks and a large amount of armored equipment. Separately, I would highlight the drone component, which has no real equivalent in NATO and could significantly shift the balance of power in the event of an invasion. If the forces are sufficient, then why not try? Thus, as of now, we are facing the following situation: russia has enough forces and resources to achieve its goals in the Baltics, and it does not face a bad scenario under any development of events. The situation is very similar to the one before the invasion of Ukraine, especially considering the law that allows putin to “protect russians abroad,” which was quickly introduced in the State Duma. The Baltic states have helped us more than anyone else, so I sincerely hope our friends will not face war. But to preserve peace, one must prepare for a major war. It is very good that our Baltic friends have learned from Ukraine’s mistakes and have built defensive lines and fortifications to repel an invasion. I very much hope that russia will break its teeth on the Baltics, just as it did on Ukraine. Source: translated and adopted from Serhii Marchenko

@mark_slapinski Yep

Serious question Do people ACTUALLY THINK Donald Trump would fake an assassination just so he could justify building a ballroom And to distract away from the Epstein files?

@mark_slapinski He has got history.

Serious question Why is literally half the internet saying Saturday's attempted assassination on Trump was 'staged'?

@JacquiBart70748 You clearly brought your daughter up well.

@dailybritainonx And she cheats her taxes.

She grew up in Stockport, left school at 16 pregnant, worked as a carer, became a union organiser and rose to be Deputy Prime Minister. She is the bookmakers' 6/4 favourite to be the next Labour leader. She is ferociously effective at PMQs, has genuine roots in working-class communities, and connects with voters that Starmer visibly struggles with. Is she the future Labour needs?

@ma1ybe Yes, pain relief risks the future mental health of children

Honestly, Do men deserve a say in how their baby is delivered? Pain meds vs natural and what not?

@shouq_al90149 Poole in the UK, we stood outside with a crowd watching it on the TV in the window of a shop.

Where were you on September 11,2001 when the twin towers went down??

@Matt_Pinner Read a book of course

Before cell phones, what did people do on the toilet?

@john24byrne66 @bmay Think it’s a bloke called Ray Nock - used to be a conservative councillor at Sandwell Council. Few bits short of a full ticket.

@bmay Who's the fella on the left?.

It’s as if all their candidates were rejected by a clown academy but allowed to keep parts of the costumes.

@FUDdaily How about increase minimum wage, cut NI, cut in work benefits?

Five immediate changes I would make to boost jobs: 1. Scrap the minimum wage 2. Cut NI 3. Remove any cap on university fees. Let the market sort it out. 4. Cut universal credit 5. Drop degree requirements for most public roles What else needs to happen?
