English
@OctopusEnergy you were meant to sort my Electroverse out on Tuesday. It still is not working via app or card. I am in France and cannot call your customer service. Sat at another charger with low charge.

@williamnhutton @JEyal_RUSI HMS Elizabeth took 9 years from order to commission.. I don’t know what magic wand you expect to suddenly double the size of the fleet

Those responsible were fired in July 2024. The government should now issue defence bonds, including some inheritance tax exempt with low coupons to attract new buyers, to turbocharge our defence readiness.

The current state of the Royal Navy: 2 aircraft carriers — neither operational. 6 Type 45 destroyers (our most powerful warships) — one operational (in Cyprus). 7 Type 23 frigates (less powerful, much older) — three operational 5 Astute class nuke-powered subs — one operational (in Arabian Sea?). Surely those responsible for this appalling state of unreadiness (a national embarrassment if ever there was one)— political, civilian and military — should be fired/charged. Their incompetence has effectively left us without a navy. Quite an achievement for an ancient island nation.

@Manning4USCong @ryangrim The white British gangs and the Pakistani gangs ?
English
@ryangrim Yes because we know the British are very upfront about the ethnicity of the people doing crimes. Hey Ryan, why did the UK police often hide the ethnicity of the people doing the rape gangs, and what was their ethnicity and religion?

CBS News exclusively reported that a shadowy terrorist group linked to Iran had burned Jewish ambulances in the UK. The story made no sense on its face but @bariweiss went with it anyway.
It now appears to be falling apart. UK has downgraded the charges from terror to just "arson" and won't release any information about the "UK nationals" they caught.
If they were actual Iran-linked terrorists they obviously would be behaving differently

@SkyNews @skynewsniall Is UK helping with Iran like we ( the USA) helped Europe with Ukraine?
English
Why weren't Britain's ships ready for Iran quicker? Could the U.S. not have seen this coming? Will we have to ration petrol?
On #ThisIsWhy, @skynewsniall puts your questions about the war in Iran to our defence and security analyst, Michael Clarke.

@IsabelOakeshott My favourite thing about living in a tax free petrostate built on a vast graveyard of dead slaves is when disabled teachers run the gauntlet of falling Iranian bombs.

You’re expecting a severely disabled, wheelchair-bound man to get on public transport to come teach your young & able-bodied daughter whose mother is also able-bodied.
Your pre-edit post stated he was going to use “public transport”
Now in your post-edit it’s a “special vehicle..” he’s taking, with his wheelchair.
Wow
Dubai “spirit” is wonderful, hey.

There’s a VERY good reason asylum seekers get circus tickets and Amazon parcels.
But the Mail on Sunday was never going to tell you that.
Here’s the crucial detail they left out: 🧵

@ChristofferPhil @HJMKent @BladeoftheS It’s one of the best things that’s driven wage growth in the last 20 years
English
Minimum wage doesn’t make you richer — it just makes money worth less.
Raise the pot washer’s pay, the chef wants more, then the manager, then the owner hikes prices. Customers pay more, need a raise, put their prices up too. Round and round.
End result? You’re still broke, just on £12 instead of £10. Nothing’s changed.
You earn what you’re worth — and you’re worth what you earn. Work for nothing, be worth nothing.

They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, and paid holiday and sick leave.
It would make them tens of billions a year.
But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

@Squirrels19689 @Theo_Griffiths Ha so funny you can’t work sleeping and writhing and pooping at a computer or maybe they will make us
English
@Theo_Griffiths In a world where so many jobs can be done from home, on a computer, there is zero reason for 99% of people to claim work related disability benefits.

@ohioanon69 @supertanskiii @ATipplingPhilo I think you are a little confused, your great fuhrer said ‘I’ll sell out Britain, sell off the NHS and give it a US style health system.. just like Thatcher sold off our water, utilities and transport.’
English
@supertanskiii @ATipplingPhilo Reform are still leftwing socialists by modern standards.
They support the NHS for goodness sake. You can’t get any more socialist than supporting welfare programs!
