This is really interesting. Can someone please explain why most women would vote for a party that most men laugh at or simply shake their heads about?

@JesusisChristX Probably ask him to help my wife and kids cope, make sure everyone has the strength to manage and make his presence known to them so they'd know we'd meet again.

if God arrived right now,
sat down beside you and said:
"your time here on earth is over."
what would you say to Him?

@AshfordLabour No, but demand for workers would and that acts as a driver of wages. Minimum wage is just maximum wage in the current set up
English
Make no mistake about it. Under the Tories and Reform the minimum wage would not have increased.
Workers on the minimum wage and getting a well deserved pay rise this week thanks to the Labour government.
Labour, rewarding working people while Reform voted against it.

@haveigotnews This is disgraceful, baseless and irresponsible. You should delete this immediately.

Kanye West has been banned from entering the UK to play Wireless Festival, as it would have been terrible to have a prominent public figure going round Finsbury Park condoning antisemitism

@WorldByWolf They're also known liars, which Rupert and restore aren't.
English
I don’t think enough Restore supporters realise how far the Tories and Reform have shifted on immigration.
They’re also promising to deport illegals and take benefits away from foreigners which means Restore needs to outline even tougher deportations plans in order to stand out.

Britons urged to ‘completely avoid’ eating cod as population plummets to critically low levels

@SandyofCthulhu Most people have said its utterly tosh and im inclined to agree but if you have evidence to your claims then im willing to listen

1) the Falklands were originally illegally seized from Argentina in 1833. BUT they have been British ever since.
2) throughout the 1960s and 70s, Argentina negotiated in good faith to trade ownership. They offered concessions, such as “Falklanders won’t have to serve in rhe army.” The British teams all recommended the transfer. Each UK government punted it to the next.
Was Argentina right to invade? Of course not. The Falklanders’ opinion should be taken into account! Plus the major reason for the attack was because the junta was looking for distractions.
But I can’t help but think that it would be cheapest for Argentina to pay each Falklander a million dollars (costing about 3.5 billion) to move away.
British Intel@TheBritishIntel
🚨 CHILE SIDES WITH ARGENTINA ON THE FALKLANDS Chile has officially declared its support for Argentina’s claim over the Falkland Islands. This came in a joint statement after a meeting between the two countries’ leaders. The Falklands are British territory - defended with British blood in 1982. Now more countries are openly testing us because they sense weakness in London. Britain must make it crystal clear: The Falklands are ours and will remain ours forever.

Everyone on the online right should be pressuring @RupertLowe10 to make a statement on the Iran War immediately.

@Aadam_Aziz @BMALondon @DrHWazir @DrNickDalmon @julietfthornton @BMAResidents @DocShivSharma @NorthThamesRDC @SouthThamesRRDC @callumjparr Should say "real doctor"
English
We’ve been working on new doctor‑specific lanyards and badge holders in our BMA UKRDC workstream, because doctors should be clearly distinguished from PAs and ACPs.
We’ll be handing out the first exclusive batch at the London picket at St Thomas’ tomorrow, 8am–12pm.
Hope to see you there!

@WorldByWolf No one is ever going to turn me against my elders. These people are our mothers, fathers, grandparents and one day will too,be you. These people have raised everyone who currently lives so do one. You'll never turn me against them.
English
One of the lines boomers use to defend the triple lock is Britain has an international low state pension compared to our peers.
There’s just one problem with that argument - it isn’t true!
British state spending on pensioners is actually well above the average among our peers.

I would be more concerned about why people in the world's sixth richest country can't afford cheese
Ben Graham@BenGrahamUK
Security tags on a block of cheese. This is where Britain is now. When basic food needs anti theft devices, it’s not just crime, it’s a collapse in deterrence and standards. A serious country doesn’t tolerate this.

@BenedictSpence These people raised you and are deserving of your respect and deference. Yet another attack on the normal way healthy societies consteuct themselves.

What makes a pensioner more deserving of protection from market forces than, say, a young family?
Sophie Corcoran@sophielouisecc
No. I don’t think pensioners should have to sell their houses to retire

Green Party co-leader Zack Polanski wants to slash Britain’s motorway speed limit to just 55mph.
The plan also includes hiking fuel tax, slashing parking spaces and forcing drivers to re-sit their test every five years.
Greens say it will save fuel, cut accidents and make people switch to buses and trains.
Tories slam it as “out of touch madness” and a full-blown war on motorists.
This guy hasn't a clue has he?

@TRobinsonNewEra Im inclined to agree with wolf on this one but i also think he's an agitator too. British establishment has arrested people for silent prayer but allowed your marches to go ahead?

@PeterStefanovi2 I want Britain to grind to halt. Our leadership has been as expensive as malignant cancer for decades.
English
Without migrant workers Britain would grind to a halt. That’s especially true when it comes to health and social care where more than a fifth of the NHS workforce in England is made up of migrant staff.
The Prime Minister’s immigration plan will keep people working in key industries like care in temporary status for a decade or more, it will keep people in insecure work, make them more easily exploitable, poorer and marginalised - when did that become the policy of a Labour government?
Peter Stefanovic@PeterStefanovi2
THE PRIME MINISTERS SHAMEFUL IMMIGRATION PLAN WILL CHANGE THE RULES FOR MIGRANT CARE WORKERS It will keep them in a temporary status for a decade or more, make them more easily exploitable, poorer and marginalised. WHEN DID THAT BECOME THE POLICY OF A LABOUR GOVERNMENT?

This is something all of us natives should get behind 💪🏻
The English, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish and Manx are the indigenous peoples of these islands. We've been here since the Ice Age, with deep roots, our own languages, cultures and bloodlines.
Time to stop the double standards. Ratify ILO Convention 169 and formally recognise Britain's native peoples.

Douglas Murray is a fraud and an ignorant fool. His fancy posh accent has allowed him to pass off as an expert on geopolitics, Islam, war and peace, and other sundry matters.
I just saw an interview with the BBC, involving him, in which he described Muammar Gaddafi as a jihadist.
Gaddafi was a sworn enemy of jihadism and all its works. His lodestar was the Arab nationalism and socialism of Nasser.
If Murray doesn't even know this, what else doesn't he know?
Wolf 🐺@WorldByWolf
I’m not sure most people realise that Douglas Murray’s only formal qualification is a third class bachelors degree in English Literature. By his own standards he isn’t qualified to talk about foreign policy, immigration, or Islam - all of which he’s built his career on.

@linmeitalks Can I ask why during covid you were desperate to protect your grandma but in old age you want them to be consigned to poverty? Do you not love them?
English
Can I ask why, if a pensioner has worked all their life, they only have the state pension to rely on? Didn’t decide to save ?
Put away for a rainy day ?
Sounds like poor planning to me.
And yes if your children have flown the nest and you, or you and your spouse are knocking around in a 3 or 4 bedroom house you bought decades ago- SELL it.
You’ll have more than enough to live on.
