None of this happened by accident.
Strong growth figures show that this government has the right economic plan. And now, the IMF has upgraded the UK’s growth forecast.
This growth is driven by an activist, interventionist government that believes in backing British business.

Five-star story on How To Do Journalism from @HadleyFreeman in her Sunday Times column today. Trebles all round.

@MarthaYeats @LewisJonathanE @karenievers Especially one that killed an Irish soldier just 4 years ago
English
@LewisJonathanE @karenievers Are these people just brainwashed or stupid? Really incredible to see Irish people supporting terrorist orgs on the other side of the planet.

The Hezbollah flag on the streets of Dublin, Ireland
This wasn't a march for "justice"
This was a hate march

Fuck off, Mrs. Doyle - the trains will be equally shit, and we all know it.

In case you missed it: the Labour Government is getting on with bringing rail into public control - including GWR 🚄 This rail operator will be coming under public control on 13 December, and there are more to come!

Whenever I see Emily Thornberry, I always think she should be doing an Alan Bennett Talking Heads monologue.
"I see no.32 is out with her Waitrose bag again but we all know she shops at Lidl, and the whole street knows the butcher is giving her more then a bit of scrag end"

@JamesHeartfield It does seem that way. As does much in the Kings Speech.

I still cannot read the details of the atrocities committed on Oct 7th.
I get half way through the first sentence of one and that’s enough. It’s a visceral reaction. Sheer horror that anyone can even contemplate such things, let alone carry them out.
The unutterable evil of those who not only did this but filmed them and filmed themselves revelling in them, is just that…
Evil
Demonic
You may doubt the existence of God but that human beings can become so possessed by wickedness and cruelty must surely convince you of his antithesis. And that he/it is a power that takes over the being of someone
who willingly places himself under its power.
As for those who deny or justify such things here in the West, I can only say that their action is stain on the history of humanity, not least because of the perversion of their claiming the moral high ground in the face of such unbelievable evil.
The Persian Jewess@persianjewess
It’s hard to believe we live in a world where western feminists think the terrorists who drilled nails into the private parts of Jewish mothers and gang raped underage girls until their pelvises broke are “freedom fighters.”

This....
On top of all that they have about the same energy content as cabbage
You wouldn't fuel yourself only with cabbage unless you were trying to lose weight fast and it's crazy to think you can fuel a country with it

Energy expert Dr. Lars Schernikau: It sounds simple… until you do the math. • 1 GWh battery = 700,000 tons of mined materials • Takes 450 GWh to build (450x its capacity) • Stores as much as 400 tons of coal Hours of storage. Massive mining, degradation & risks. This doesn’t fix intermittency, it multiplies the destruction. ‘Batteries are an environmental nightmare’.

@Poppy_yyyyyyyy @Ersatz_F Very good time! 400 is a sprint with an extra topping of pain!
English
@Ersatz_F He’s so pleased. He normally does 400 but they needed a stand in so he volunteered and knocked a second off his time!

Proud mum boast but my 13yo son just ran an official 11.8 second 100m. He’s absolutely buzzing and it’s so wonderful to see normally stroppy teen actually excited about something.

@ThatFloWoman @London_W4 When I first lived in London in Gloucester Place back in early 80s used to go to a pub with booths right on the bar. Barley Mow I think it was on Dorset St W1.
English
@London_W4 I love those booths in pubs but they’re few & far between nowadays. So cosy, you could easily settle down for the night there.
English
Got a booth for me and my brothers today in one of my favourite London pubs. Love these booths. Incredibly quiet here today. It’s in the City of London in case you wondered, with this area being very quiet at weekends and very busy in the week. Many places here don’t even bother opening at the weekend.

“We asked 48m voters ‘What would make you vote for Labour again’
You said - Gordon Brown
If it’s up there I’ll give you the money myself”
English
David Bernie retweetledi
It's genuinely funny that Labour's response to the collapse of its vote is to arrange a speech by the PM, when his inability to speak in a way that doesn't sound like an android attempting human is one of his main problems, and then to announce the return of Gordon Brown, who was booted out of No 10 because he was such an awful PM, and Harriet Harman, who thinks women can have a penis.
It's almost as if we are governed by a bunch of clueless idiots.

@DavidHe97294863 @SartorialThug My French teacher had a DFC and bar. Arthur Aldridge.

@SartorialThug Five of my teachers had served in WW2, we respected them and they were very good teachers.

Imagine trying to gain the respect of pupils after they have seen you dressed like this. There would be no coming back from such a thing at my old school.
Patrick Christys@PatrickChristys
This is insane. Teachers wearing keffiyehs and draped in Palestine flags are out on strike. The pupils tell them to get back to work

@absent_angler @wallaceme @gettingworse666 And who is the arbiter of their rights and who appointed them to this role?
English
@wallaceme @gettingworse666 But that doesn't mean the resulting state has a "right to exist". It means a collection of individuals have the right to seek self-determination by trying to establish a state. A concept (e.g. a state) does not have rights, not least because it doesn't actually exist in reality.
English
So, er, Palestine doesn’t have a right to exist? Am I doing this right?
Peston@itvpeston
.@Peston: [Does Israel] have a right to exist? @ZackPolanski: I don’t believe any country has a right to exist The Green Party leader says getting caught up in semantics about countries’ right to exist results in “gatekeeping” #Peston

@Fox_Claire Something about some of those old School films. Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and Goodbye Mr Chips too.

God, I loved that film
Ladytron Fan Account@Lady_FanAccount
"To Sir with Love" was written especially for the 1967 film of the same name with Sidney Poitier. Lulu, who was only 19 years old, not only sang the track but also acted in the film (it was her film debut, playing one of the rebellious students). She hated all the theme options the producers had chosen and practically forced the composer Mark London (husband of her manager) to write the melody within minutes. The result? The best-selling single of 1967 in the US (5 weeks at #1 on the Billboard charts), but curiously it was never released as a single in the UK.
