@RachelReevesMP “Free”

Good news for families - every child aged 5-15 in England will travel free on buses this summer, with unlimited journeys, no registration required, and no cost to families. Our economic plan is the right one. Tackling the cost of living and building a stronger Britain.

@Chris_Jack89 Wild how below expectations he was. Fair play for the structure of the deal letting us cut and run though.

🚨 Exclusive: Rangers will not pursue a move to sign Andreas Skov Olsen on a permanent deal this summer. Rangers had an option to extend the move for the Danish international beyond an initial loan. rangersreview.co.uk/news/26126115.…

@LNallalingham They do understand. They don’t care because they’re ideologically possessed, on this topic.

🚨 Net migration has fallen to 171,000. But the underlying numbers tell the real story: 🇬🇧 British nationals: -136,000 🇪🇺 EU nationals: -42,000 🌍 Non-EU nationals: +349,000 So the “drop” in migration is largely being driven by more British and EU nationals leaving the

@PaulJohnDykes Physically assaulted or not, what took place at full time is indefensible.

“One or two got assaulted.” This is a bold accusation that Bloom will need to back up with evidence. Hearts have embraced the pseudo-victim role here because they blew it. Leaving the stadium looking like a stag do of full-kit wankers was nothing more than performative.

@jackprandelli The tax cuts this funded. What was their economic impact?

Norway and the UK drilled the same North Sea. 🇳🇴Norway got $2 trillion. 🇬🇧The UK got tax cuts. Same basin,Same era.... Completely different outcomes. Norway captured $30 per barrel in government revenue. The UK captured $11. That gap, compounded over 50 years of production, is the entire difference. Norway's model was simple: tax heavily (78% marginal rate), take direct equity stakes in fields via the SDFI, own part of Equinor, and put everything surplus into a fund invested abroad. The Government Pension Fund Global now holds over $2 trillion in assets. That's $390,000 per Norwegian citizen about 1.5% of all listed equities on earth. The fiscal rule: only spend the 3% annual real return. Never touch the principal. The UK started producing earlier, at lower prices, with a lower tax rate (40%) and no saving mechanism. North Sea revenues flowed straight into the general budget. Economists estimate the UK missed out on roughly £400 billion compared to a Norwegian style regime. The windfall largely financed tax cuts in the 1980s rather than a fund. Where things stand in 2026? Norway's petroleum sector will generate $63 bn in net cash flow this year alone feeding a fund already large enough to cover 10-15% of the national budget from returns alone. The UK is a net energy importer. Since 2021 it has paid countries like Norway more than £100 billion for gas. One country treated oil as a finite resource to convert into permanent financial wealth. The other treated it as income. image source:eia

@andrew_lilico Ban something that’s Tory coded.

Let's assume there's zero scope for a new Labour PM to spend more, because there's no room for more borrowing or taxes, but such a new PM would have to do something "left wing" to appease the Party. What would that "left wing" thing be?

@TheSalesBull1 That’s what uncapped liabilities that are legal obligations gets you. The gutting of everything else.

£3,000 a year in council tax Still potholes, closed libraries, fortnightly bins and a town centre full of scumbags Taxation becomes a mugging when nothing gets protected

@heraldscotland Absolutely incredible article 😂

'This is where St John Ogilvie was publicly hanged in 1615 for refusing to disavow his Catholic faith. These celebrations aren’t just about Celtic winning another trophy; they also commemorate a long journey travelled in which their people overcame discrimination and cruelty.' 👇

@talkSPORT The answer is “yes, they should just stay put. They should especially not goad or confront opposition players”

🔚 "When we scored the third goal, the game essentially over!" 😤 "There's obvious excitement... we've just won the league! So the fans should stay put?" Martin O'Neill launches angry defence of #CelticFC fans invading the pitch during their title decider vs Hearts! 😡

@andrew_lilico You'd know you had sex with the goat. You would always know.

My son raised an interesting revealing dilemma today. Would you rather: a) Everyone believed, with certainty, that you had had sex with a goat. b) Actually have had sex with a goat, but no-one knows.

@JoshuaBarrieRR @RangersReview55 It is what it is. Suspect they’ll regret that but the squad is the most important thing.

🚨 Andrew Cavenagh says #Rangers are backing Danny Rohl heading into the new season. "We believe that Danny gives us the best chance to win the league next year." Says focus is on building a winning team to support him. rangersreview.co.uk/features/26113…

@ChrisBarrie75 The politics are, indeed, not attractive. But really it’s surging onto the pitch goading opposition players, then rampaging round the streets attacking the police. Add that to the moral grandstanding about being the best fans and you have the necessary ingredients.

We're seeing a hysterical reaction (and a fair bit of hatred) to a football club winning a Championship largely because they don't like the politics of the fans of that club. Let that sink in.

@Rossco76 A real unexpected upside of this season was them burning their brand to the ground on the global stage.

@ell_watt00 Up the road son

Unbelievable season, what a group and what a club🧡

@AngelaHaggerty Celtic are a great club and most of their fans are great people. But there’s a shameful element. Ludicrous student politics. Anti semitism. Anti western. Pro hamas. Views normal policing as “oppression”. You don’t have to defend it just because you’re a Celtic fan.

Ah Celtic. The fairytale football club founded by poverty-stricken Irish immigrants to feed their hungry children in a country hostile to their presence has become so successful against all the odds that folk think we're the establishment club. We've come a long way lads 🤣🍀

@JohnWight1 😂 is it aye

The sheer scale of the venom being directed at Celtic and their fans is more than just about football. It is rooted in Scotland's baleful legacy and history of anti-Irish Catholic racism and bigotry. We were on our knees as a community when Celtic was established in 1888. In 2026 we stand tall. And the reason we do stand tall is largely because of Celtic, and how the club has provided us with a sense of pride in an identity that is rooted in defiance not compliance.

@ScotlandSky Who wrote them off 😂

🗣️ “What a season. Down and out, everyone wrote us off... A special, special group of people.” Celtic captain Callum McGregor reacts as they retain their Premiership title ⤵️

🧡 It’s Matchday! We head to Falkirk Stadium for our final fixture of the season.

@Fitzy__07 The people that cross the line and threaten referees are responsible for their own actions. As are we all. Regardless of who says what I will not threaten another human being over a sporting decision. Pin responsibility where it lies.

Two things: - the likes of Derek McInnes & Kris Boyd should be fuckin ashamed at how they fuelled this. McInnes should be subject to formal action - the replies are exactly what you'd expect. People's opinions are based wholly on which team they support.

@andrew_lilico The Cassandra Phase surely

There should be a name for the phase of a nation's decline where the people with the answers have given up hoping anyone will listen to them & are just waiting for the collapse or crisis to come.
