@CFCCath Italy the same. People simply won’t pay big money for a coffee. This is the price list in a cafe at the top of a mountain in a ski resort.
English
Wonder how much profits these coffee conglomerates in UK are making charging £4 for a coffee as they don’t appear to pay tax … here in Paris eur 1.50 for a coffee and eur 2.50 for a chocolate and noisette eclair which was delicious .. #ripoffbritain

@sankuperis Yes. Also, Monaco asks questions about where the money came from.

@chitowngirl1982 @Arnold_Platon I have accepted the role of Dua Lipa’s date for tomorrow night.
English
Who did he accept it from? The Lady in the Lake? Did he pull a sword out of a stone?

@whitewall618431 If memory serves we never wore those yellow shirts with those blue shorts in any league or cup games. Was always yellow shorts.

Chelsea pre season Finland 1982. Photo with Chelsea players in yellow Phil Driver, Paul Canoville, David Speedie, Gary Locke. One of Chelsea's best ever shirts I remember wearing it a couple of weeks later at Cambridge.

@lilyslynch @JEyal_RUSI Stick me in pedant’s corner if you like, but Ceausescu didn’t rush back. It was a three-day trip that ended as planned on December 20.
English
Khamenei was the last leader Nicolae Ceaușescu met. In Dec 1989, the Romanian leader was visiting Iran when protests erupted in Romania. He rushed back to Bucharest to stage a rally, but the crowd turned on him on live TV. Ceaușescu and his wife were executed a few days later, on Christmas Day.

@JenniferJS_ So why doesn't Labour use that majority to actually do something?
English
Greens now have a whopping 5 MPs. Reform have 8. Tories have 116.
Labour only have 404. That's such a weak position to be in.
English
@DPJHodges Why does he need to 'fight' for change when he has a massive majority and could simply enact it? It's this total lack of ambition that has put his 2024 supporters off.
English
This is the problem with the whole "fight..breath in my body...fight some more..." line. You can only really do it once. And he played that card two weeks ago. Now it can just been seen for what it is. Empty rhetoric.

Sir Keir Starmer says he will not quit in the wake of the Gorton and Denton by-election He says the result is disappointing but that he will 'keep on fighting' for those who want change 'for as long as I've got breath in my body' He says it's easy for other parties to 'identify a grievance' but the 'hard yards' come in providing a solution and turning the country around He says that the Green Party and Reform UK are 'extreme' parties that want to 'tear our country apart' He said: “I will also fight against the extremes in politics, on the Right and the Left, parties who want to tear our country apart. “The Labour Party is only the party that can unite our country and our communities and we will line up together in that fight against the extremes of the Left and the Right for the values that we believe in.”

@jaunetom In its rightful place (ski resorts) it’s great. Outside my house it’s a pain in the arse.

@lisanandy @Keir_Starmer Our country is in need of change, so let’s stick with a PM who refuses to use his 170+ majority to enact any.
English
Our country is badly in need of change.
And we need change that puts our entire political system back in the service of ordinary people.
There’s a lot to do, and we are all behind @Keir_Starmer to deliver the change we promised.

@SuellaBraverman Did your parents not register with GPs?
English
No wonder it’s almost impossible to see a GP.
We have too many people in the country.
Only Reform will fix our migration system.
Centre for Migration Control@migrationCtrl
EXC: Last year over 750k people registered with a GP having just moved to the UK. That is greater than the total number of patients registered in each of the following areas: Liverpool, Newcastle, Leicester, Sheffield, Bradford. The NHS cannot cope. migrationcentral.co.uk/p/three-quarte…

@DavidLammy Winning a massive mandate is no achievement. Using that mandate to enact real change is. The government of which you are a part has done nothing, primarily because the PM is timid, lacking in ambition.
English
Keir Starmer won a massive mandate 18 months ago, for five years to deliver on Labour’s manifesto that we all stood on.
We should let nothing distract us from our mission to change Britain and we support the Prime Minister in doing that.
English
If Keir Starmer resigns, the UK can forget closer ties to the EU anytime soon.
He's slowly aligning Britain to the EU, and away from the US, it's a process that needs stability. Changing PM's would put that in jeopardy.
He's doing a great job with the situation he is in.

@sankuperis This is hugely important just after a baby is born. The baby gets brought gift after gift while mum usually gets nothing. Bring presents for mum too!
English
For my bf son’s school dances, I bought a bouquet for the kid’s mum. I think mums don’t get rewarded enough & I encourage everyone to praise mums in their circles. It can’t be easy to be one and many young women grew up watching their mums get nothing but more pressure in return

I visited the Orthodox sacred Mountain - Athos - last year and have put together an account - a story - of what the experience was like.
