@Averagejeff2 @DPJHodges 50-70% of of the white English race have ancestry that pre-dates the Anglo-Saxon invasion. The Angles, Saxons and Jutes were the originally boat people, invading our English shores.

@DPJHodges Kier starmer is passive aggressively threatening the genocide of white British Anglo saxons. We are a race. He's guilty of planning genocide
English
I still don't really understand Keir Starmer. He finally decides to be publicly critical of Trump. But he chooses as his main point of attack energy prices, rather than him threatening genocide against an entire civilisation.
English
@PlanFluor @PaulEmbery You clearly live in an Alice in Wonderland world. It's an affliction of those who rush to the defence of Trump.
English
@gecantab @PaulEmbery You're talking crap even if you are, in fact, a Maxist

Trump's actions contributed directly to the defeat of right-wing parties in general elections in Australia and Canada. Outside the US, he is very unpopular. That is a fact that the people at the top of Reform might like to consider.

@DavidMcgre79677 @ElectionMapsUK I agree bills shouldn't be a melange of different issues, but as the assisted dying bill shows there are a myriad of details that have to be covered for any single, important issue.
English
@gecantab @ElectionMapsUK Again a bill should be one subject. If you look at the children's online safety bill .There's sections on illegal migrants in there !! This is what we would call out ! Current bill pending is governments full access to our devices.We are private citizens,this we should have a say

@PlanFluor @PaulEmbery The UK right is overwhelmingly supported by national newspapers, who also set the political agenda for the BBC. The BBC is so scared of being accused of being biased against Farage that is gives him coverage as though he and his "party" were the official opposition.
English
@PaulEmbery I think that's an oversimplification, Paul. The 'right' has been demonised by so many for so long - that's the real problem.
English
@DavidMcgre79677 @ElectionMapsUK This might work for second readings of bills, but the devil is in the detail, and there's no way we can expect voters to have studied ever clause in a bill.
English
@gecantab @ElectionMapsUK This modern hi tech age we live in ,Any number of online or telephone prompt voting at constituency level to be independently verified naturally. Then the mp votes in parliament inline with their constituants. As per their title or parliamentary representative of our .

@DavidMcgre79677 @ElectionMapsUK Tell me the precise details of what you want, and how it would work. I'll then be able to assess whether I agree with you.
English
@gecantab @ElectionMapsUK Are you anti democratic process?

@PeterCroydon @premnsikka In fact I think the govt didn't eventually get round to restricting the mechanism, but by then the horse had bolted.

Private equity controls our lives from the cradle to the grave.
Profiteers by owning hospitals, nurseries, housing, care homes, undertakers.
Business model - high prices, low staffing/wages, high debt, asset-stripping.
Profits for few, misery for many.

@archer_rs Other than the fact that Wilson has been a
appointed as an ambassador your claim is blatantly false.
English
@Fox_Claire Why do you tweet in response to a tweet that is blatantly false, other than the appointment of Wilson as an Ambassador.
English
Blatant. Undermining Brexit now a top Labour Government priority. Over to voters to express their views on that...
English
@JohnRentoul Lib Dems, and before them the Liberals, always had more in common with Labour than the Tories. However there has always been a strong authoritarian streak in Labour that often prevents greater cooperation.
English
@JoshMitte @JohnRentoul And how many voters sympathetic to the Lib Dems voted tactically in seats Labour won?
English
@JohnRentoul Note it says 2024 LD voters, so how many of them are Labour folk that voted tactically?
English
@JohnRentoul Put another way 74% say the UK should be less involved or got the balance right. Only 11% say we should be more involved. There are statistics, and John Rentoul's spin on statistics.
English
And I missed this one: more (45%) say UK should be LESS involved in Iran conflict than (40%) say more involved or balance about right

Last year there were 14,651 murders in America involving guns.
Britain? 32
So I suspect even you can see where the problem is.
And we’re nowhere near an Islamist abyss.
James Woods@RealJamesWoods
Our friends, the Brits, went from relinquishing their right to bear arms in 1997 to standing on the edge of the Islamist abyss today. Our Second Amendment is not about the right to go duck hunting, folks. It’s about keeping power in the hands of The People.

@OutlierBlackBox @PaulEmbery For decades during the Cold War western democracies tolerated terrorist regimes in Eastern Europe, the USSR, China, and much of South America.
English
@PaulEmbery Not that it matters or anyone cares what you think, but how exactly would YOU talk to a terrorist regime that hung people from cranes??? 🤔
No wonder the West has become so weak. It really is in a state of delusions of grandeur.
English
Jeez, what an argument. Basically amounts to: "Yes, the most powerful man in the world threatens mass violence and invasion on a regular basis. But, hey, he often lies, so just chill out everyone." Like it's all a big game. Like it's perfectly fine for the president of the US to behave in such an aggressive and erratic manner, and anyone who expresses concern about it is overreacting. Lordy.
Ben Leo@benleo444
Feeling bad right now for those who take Trump at his every word. A few months ago it was invading Greenland. Everyone lost their minds. Now he shitposts about end of civilisation and everyone takes the bait. You’ll probably see a deal struck soon. Just enjoy the ride 🍿

@GavinBarwell Few homes were started because developers don’t see enough projects as safe and profitable. Until some constraints ease - interest rates, planning speed, regulatory costs, or sales demand - we won't see a strong recover. Some of these are within the Mayor's control, some aren't.

Remind us all how many homes were started in London this year?

@DavidMcgre79677 @ElectionMapsUK We certainly can't get into the concept of having a local referendum on how its local MP should vote on a bill in the HoC, so what precisely do you want to change in the current arrangements? 2/
English
@DavidMcgre79677 @ElectionMapsUK I'm unclear what you're expecting. We currently restrict referendums to major constitutional issues, and in any case the views of individual constituencies are overridden in a national ( and sometimes regional) referendum. 1/

@JohnWil63561415 @premnsikka The dividends were actually quite low. The money was extracted through interest payments on debt to foreign financial institutions.
English
@premnsikka Borrowed beyond their means, obtained taxpayers money, paid out excessive dividends (mostly overseas), poured shit in our rivers and onto our beaches, went bust. Privatised capitalism at its best. Let them go into liquidation and buy back for the nation.
English
Effective rate of UK corporation tax (CT) is lower than the headline rate because of tax reliefs and subsidies.
We are told that low tax rates boost investment, but UK is at or near the bottom of the OECD investment league.
Water companies paid dividends, neglected investment.
