@theguardianfeed What a load of total bollox, are we going to adjust the price of everything according to how “wealthy” the consumer is? Why is a hard copy printed guardian newspaper the same price for everyone? Utterly spasticated opinion piece

A third inflationary shock in less than a decade is coming: who will pay the price this time around? | Aditya Chakrabortty theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@L__Macfarlane Yeah why is that?🤔

Scotland is one of the least densely populated places in Europe. Not a single “small boat” has landed here. This is utterly absurd.

@anon_opin If only someone on benefits could start their own social media platform then we could all go on that one instead of this billionaire owned one 🙁

It's weird how a significant proportion of British people despise people on benefits who are apparently sponging off the state, but love millionaires who live offshore to avoid contributing to the economy.

Poll: Will the latest high level BBC noncery result in a licence fee increase?

@David__Osland Amazing. How do you come up with this incredible analysis? You must be very clever!

Billionaires say they can't afford to live in a Britain with a wealth tax. NHS workers, school teachers and retail and hospitality staff can't afford to live in a Britain without one.

@NormanLeedsPhD @ReemAmirIbrahim And most will conclude they can’t afford it. What then galaxy brain?

@ReemAmirIbrahim Scrap child benefit. If someone wants to have children they should first sit down and work out whether they can afford it. Not expect someone else to pay for it. And certainly not pensioners who have paid taxes for decades and are still being taxed.

Lots of people complain about high taxes in Britain, but those same people don't want to address what is driving up spending. Scrap the triple lock on pensions! Yesterday!

@Kelkmk2 @KHarveyProctor @AAFAI_org @LukeSGittos1986 Exactly: the bbc news website states “On Monday, it was announced that the former Radio 1 presenter had been sacked by the BBC over allegations related to his personal conduct” .The revelations about previous incidents have just been subsequently revealed. Two separate things?

@KHarveyProctor @AAFAI_org @LukeSGittos1986 It's unlikely the BBC sacked him for past allegations. He'd sue them, I would guess there have been new internal allegations made.🤷‍♂️

‘The BBC has made a mockery of due process in treating a police interview as proof of wrongdoing. ‘Yes, allegations must be taken seriously & investigated rigorously. But we must withhold judgment until the facts can be properly tested.’ @LukeSGittos1986 spiked-online.com/2026/03/31/wha…

Is nothing sacred in Britain in 2026? cc @NewsOrFallSong

@DPJHodges I thought he’d been sacked because of allegations relating to his conduct, and then the bbc news team learned he’d been investigated by police in 2018 or whenever ? Two separate things?

There may be other facts to come out. But if, as currently being reported, Scott Mills really has been sacked because of an offence that was allegedly committed 30 years ago, and that failed to even meet the basic evidential threshold for a prosecution, then that's insane.

@Beaulieu600 @Canellelabelle You’ve done *actual* research?

@abandonedgloves @Canellelabelle Rather than be the numptie you obviously are, go do some research.

This piece by Hugo Vickers new book revealing that Prince Philip had Pancreatic Cancer for the last 8 years of his life💔 The DM reports “In Queen Elizabeth II, serialised exclusively in the Mail on Sunday, biographer Hugo Vickers discloses that the then-Duke of Edinburgh was diagnosed with inoperable cancer in June 2013 during an 11-day stay in hospital.” “He died at Windsor Castle in April 2021, two months before his 100th birthday, with ‘old age’ listed on his death certificate”. Then this part was my favourite describing the spirit of the Man to the fullest: “On the last night of his life, Prince Philip gave nurses the slip and shuffled along a corridor at the castle on his Zimmer frame before pouring himself a beer and drinking it in the Oak Room, a sitting room”😄 Vickers added: ‘The following morning, he got up, had a bath, said he did not feel well and quietly slipped away.  'By this point, he had lived with pancreatic cancer for nearly eight years – far longer than the usual survival time from diagnosis.’👌🏽 Queen Elizabeth was not there when her husband of 73 years died and was said to have been upset that ‘as so often in life, he left without saying goodbye’.❤️‍🩹 A love like theirs… To the end, these two were fighters and they enjoyed living. it is not surprising to learn that the Duke would have beat the usual survival time from diagnosis of this type of cancer. He was always stubborn even in death❤️ #PrincePhilip

@Beaulieu600 @Canellelabelle Yes thanks for that insight random twitter user with 168 followers

@Canellelabelle I doubt that this account if the Duke’s cancer is accurate. The Duke may very well have had cancer, but it’s unlikely to have been pancreatic cancer. Once diagnosed, the vast majority of sufferers unfortunately live no longer than 6 months.

@MythoYookay Lol that’s Soho Road Handsworth driven past that millions of times 😂 what a hell hole cc @JamesTilsley

I’m going to Warsaw next week will I be able to get a KitKat there or what?

@trevgoes4th @an0n_Nic It needs sorting, because if it isn’t it WILL (and trust me on this) be the thin end of the re-nationalisation wedge

@abandonedgloves @an0n_Nic and the state sets all the rules you work under often including prices

If I wanted to start a water company today to compete with Thames Water and provide a better service to paying customers, I cannot. It is against the law. The problem is not that they are private, the problem is that the state has created monopolies with no competition.

"Hitler was a failed art student and a vegan who blamed all his problems on rich people and the Jews. "If he was around today, he'd be attending the Green Party conference' Superb @LeoKearse 👏👏👏

Lads doing a big thread on tax rates bless him

@PaulEmbery Mate, circa 1987, your average pub crowd on a random Thursday would be something you’d be lucky to see on New Year’s Eve now . Very sad!

When I was growing up, pubs would often be rammed until closing time (not so much during the week, but certainly at weekends). The bell for “last orders” would usually spark a rush to the bar. These days, even the most popular pubs seem to start emptying out around 8.00-9.00pm, including on Fridays and Saturdays. Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? Is there a reason for it?

@PaulDowson89788 @PaulEmbery 🙄 boring

@PaulEmbery Not all working class are racist like you.

If this happens, Shabana Mahmood (an excellent minister) should resign in protest. Labour would be kissing goodbye to any chance of winning back its lost Red Wall voters. Sheer madness.

@jeremycorbyn Lol you’ve been saying this since the 1980s

The problems we face are not caused by migrants or refugees. They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires. We are a mass movement for a kinder world. Together, we can take on the far-right — and win.
