@paulmotty Unfortunately he did not have the charisma that the press had started clamouring for.

Gordon Brown remains the only British PM I was actually proud of. A rare voice of reason, intellect and decency in a dystopian century.

@JDVance Stock market has done pretty well this year. And since Biden took office.

This moment could set off a real economic calamity around the globe. It requires steady leadership--the kind President Trump delivered for four years.
Kamala Harris is too afraid to answer media questions and cannot lead us in these troubled times.

@paulmotty If you do a poll for your followers I’m sure that you’ll see that it’s closer to 95% 🤔
English
I still get the feeling that no more than 5% of Brits are aware of the likely imminent catastrophe awaiting us.

NEW: Donald Trump is considering a reduction in intelligence sharing with members of NATO, which depends on the U.S. for the type of information that has helped Ukraine fend off Russia, according to foreign officials informed of the plans. politico.com/news/2024/07/1…

@RosieisaHolt Sadly I think you need to consider your career choice as your opportunities in the political circus may now be quite limited

The people of Ackenfield West have spoken! Thank you for re-electing me as your MP. I will serve you, again.
After great consideration I have decided to cross the floor to Labour, as their values better reflect mine.
English
@ElectionMapsUK @paulmotty @focaldataHQ Is there a tendency for people to switch from Labour to Tory as they get older, or does this suggest that Tories could be almost dead and buried in half a generation’s time?

@RishiSunak Quietly forgetting that the tax burden is the highest it’s ever been…
English
You have 4 hours to stop a Labour supermajority that will put up taxes for the rest of your life.

In hospital having tests after getting chest pains last night. I'm told just a mixture of stress and extreme heat.
But I think it was the shock of seeing the media cover Farage's position on Russia.
Truly, once in a millennia stuff.
Whatever next? Trump? Cummings? Firtash?

@ATRightMovies And FWIW, i think Die Hardnisba great film and one I could watch at any time of the year.
English
@ATRightMovies If you would happily watch it at any time of the year then it’s not a Christmas movie.
Proper Christmas movies are those that you would only consider watching in the days/weeks you have your decorations up.
English
We know this gets asked every year but, for an upcoming podcast, IS DIE HARD A CHRISTMAS MOVIE?
Give some reasoning in the comments if you can 😃🎄

@Miss_Snuffy @marksandspencer Won’t somebody please think of the children

I am sending this complaint letter to M&S @marksandspencer
We should all be complaining.
This is a fight for everything we should believe in.
Do not sit this one out.
Write a letter of complaint about that advert!!

@DaveTindallgolf Great place to go, have had many a good evening in there.

@CitizenSnippy @fascinatorfun 28. You were lucky! In the ice age, we’d have to wake up int middle of night, see off a woolly mammoth, and if we survived that then have to hunt down same food that the sabre tooth tiger pack were after. We’d be happy if we saw out our teenage years. Never complained though.
English
@fascinatorfun In the 980s our houses was always raided by Vikings who'd stab & rape us, then set fire to all the stuff wot they didn't nick. Never had no roof or food. Life was tough but we just got on with it & didn't blame no one else just died of malnutrition at 28.

@hilarybennmp On a scale from 0 to 100 then I guess 15% is closer to nil than 100. Virtually nearly right!
English
“The cost of getting out will be virtually nil” claimed Boris Johnson on 6 March 2016. Today the OBR assumption is that total UK imports and exports will be 15% lower than if we had remained in the EU.
Gareth Thomas MP@gareththomasMP
And this from the @OBR_UK on the very limited impact of the Free Trade Agreements Ministers have been negotiating (Japan, Australia, CPTPP etc) just underlines how underwhelming the Tory ‘leadership’ on trade has been to date. Jobs, prosperity, soft power all taking a big hit
English
@MattikOtto @GarfieldTony @markcartercamb @patrickkmaguire That’s precisely what all the cabinet members get
English
Hearing cabinet at which abolition of Covid regs supposed to be signed off was cancelled with less than ten minutes' notice this morning. Ministers, some of whom were already at No 10, a bit baffled...

@powerlanguish two different words today?? I had agora, my friend had aroma. I thought it was the same word for all

@heliaebrahimi @Channel4News @ConorBurnsUK @cathynewman Sounds like something straight from Little Britain. Next he will say in trying to leave the party that wasn’t a party in a hurry, he stumbled and accidentally ate a whole slice…
English
The Prime Minister was “Ambushed with a cake”
Amazing line 🍰🍰🍰
@ConorBurnsUK tells @cathynewman
Channel 4 News@Channel4News
"He was ambushed with a cake." A Conservative MP says that a birthday celebration held in Downing Street for Boris Johnson wasn't a "premeditated party". Conor Burns tells @cathynewman that he supports Boris Johnson and that "the public will ultimately judge".
