@caerdydd1904 Are any of the people that sleep on the streets veterans?

‘Veterans sleep on our streets’

@KirstieMAllsopp They’re not going to are they. When 10 year old Jayden turns up with a new IPhone 17, much to the envy of his friends, the other kids go home whinging, increasing social pressure and the other parents relent. It’s time for parents to say no.

When are people going to start listening?! Stop giving smart phones to kids, PLEASE. Social media as bad for young people as smoking, top doctors say - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@DMiliband Oh do FO.

Right now, there are three warning signs that this Ebola outbreak could be particularly difficult to contain:

@nostalgiabrit @RobKenyonReform At the least you could have used capital letters.

rupert lowe thinks he can just waltz in here with his silver spoon and lecture us on what's best for makerfield meanwhile reform is listening to local people and fighting for what we need, like a new hospital and sensible housebuilding lowe's restore party is just a distraction, splitting the vote and helping labour stay in power we need a champion for our area not some outsider trying to buy their way in.

I used to respect you Rupert. Restore have never wanted anything to do with this area. But now someone born with a silver spoon in their mouth is trying to lie about the only working class local man in the race. I want net negative immigration.

@CmdrSpace @TomCARR89143229 @KirstieMAllsopp 🎯We always discuss these types of purchases.

@TomCARR89143229 @KirstieMAllsopp I bought a coffee machine. A few hundred £ bean to cup one. *Before* I bought it, I asked my wife if it was ok and what the budget was. This is a normal marriage.

If Nicola Sturgeon didn’t question/notice expenditure in her home, in her own kitchen, then what the heck was going on with taxpayer’s money, did this reckless attitude to expenditure impact the entire Scottish government?

@JuliaDobsok1es @TheGriftReport Her heart says otherwise.

@TheGriftReport Thinks she looks lovely. Very nice costume 👌

Gemma Collins shows off her dramatic 3.5 stone weight loss as she reveals she was forced to stop taking Ozempic. The 46-year-old TOWIE star posted a confident poolside snap in the plunging one-piece, gold jewellery and shades, telling fans: “Wear the swimsuit darlings… Your body is not here to apologise. It’s here to live, to swim, to laugh, to glow.” Gemma admitted she had to pause the weight-loss injections after suffering a serious gallbladder attack and pancreatitis, common side effects of the drug. She has now lost 3.5 stone and is focusing on a more sustainable approach while still promoting body positivity.

@BBCWalesNews City Road is nice.

Should the Welsh first minister get an official home? bbc.in/4dNaBcE

@benhoobs Good. 👍

Great day to remind people that Reform don't believe in climate change and are already scrapping climate targets in councils they control.

@GavinBoby @FUDdaily I always feel like I have to justify why I don’t drink. I could drink with the best of them when I was young and enjoyed it but it makes me unwell now, even one drink, and I spend days recovering. It’s just not worth it anymore.

@FUDdaily If you tell people you don't drink, the look of respect in their eyes is surprising. Try it sometime, next time you're at a do with people you don't know.

I'm afraid I just don't know anyone with a healthy relationship with alcohol. Everyone I know who drinks can't even conceive of a social event without it, and can't even go to the theatre without a drink in the intermission. Whenever I go back to my hometown to look in on old mates, all they do week in week out, is piss their money away on booze, look twenty years older than they actually are, and have the health complications of an elderly pensioner. Meanwhile ALL the Prosecco mums in the district are on SSRIs with failing marriages. They will all go into town, wax a hundred quid on a Saturday night and eat takeaway food in the gutter that I wouldn't give to a dog, and will have nothing to show for it (not even memories because they can't remember anything). They then spend the rest of the week tired and grouchy (shrieking at their kids) while they recover, only to do it all again the following week because there's nothing else going on in their miserable lives. A healthy relationship with alcohol is basically someone who doesn't really drink, who doesn't even notice if they go a year without - where alcohol is limited to notable social events with a meal. That doesn't describe most drinkers. For some fucked up reason, we made getting paralytic a cornerstone of our social culture, and very few people actually enjoy it even if they say they do. They just don't have the strength of character to say "fuck this" and leave their boozehound mates to their boring stupor.

@timfarron @LaticsJosie @DPJHodges 🤔

@LaticsJosie @DPJHodges Merely inaccurate.

It is insulting to every working class family to suggest that it’s somehow part of our culture to be vile, nasty and sexist and that anyone appalled at the Reform candidate in Makerfield’s comments is somekind of middle class pearl clutcher.

@GordonDimmack My father was a well paid civil servant and we didn’t eat out. Chips were reserved for a trip to my grandparents, twice a year, near the sea. That’s just how it was, but youngsters ordering take away now is not the reason they can’t buy a house.

Geezer grew up in the UK but apparently his hard working middle-earning parents never bought him fish and chips. People doing this shit are doing state propaganda, just like our Boomer parents did. Stop listening to them. You're right to be angry about the cost of living.

@Hossylass Glad you understood it, sweetie!

@gilli_bee Oh sweetie I more than get it 😂 It works for the individual, but not for the country. Not very patriotic, is it?

Work the equivalent of a 6 day week - and get less than £20 a week extra? Is it me - or is this maths, frankly, wank?

@DavidHHeadley They’ll get someone else to do the donkey work like MTD.

Sounds attractive, but how would HMRC distinguish between normal earnings and hours worked beyond 40 a week for salaried workers, business owners, teachers, doctors, managers and anyone whose hours aren’t clocked? And how much would it cost the Treasury? It’s all bullshit. Like the rest of their announcements.

@Helen_Fields Just for balance, a lot of hairdressers just hire a chair and don’t work for the salon but are SE. If the salon is closed they can’t work as they usually would unless they go mobile or at home on a bank holiday.

@AndyFitchet £1000 plus the rate of pay surely.

If you work 9-6:30 every single day Reform will promise you an extra £1000. Is that it? What a waste of life for £1k. Go spend time with your family, do some gardening, go to the pub, enjoy your life. The extra £1k to run yourself into the ground is not worth it.

@DrHoenderkamp @chrislittlewoo8 @RestoreBritain_ These types of accounts are agitators. Designed to make anyone who would vote Restore look all the same. It’s all part of the game. Follow your convictions and don’t get sucked in .

@chrislittlewoo8 @RestoreBritain_ And yet look at these followers and there are plenty and worse. Because of these people I would never associate myself with Restore.

You see these are @RestoreBritain_ followers…. My mother can trace her ancestry in the UK to the 16th century… is that enough to stay in your ‘restored’ Britain?

@capaled Remember in the 90’s when all those grants were given to overseas companies for a period of 10 years, bringing jobs aplenty and then when the economy shifted they shut shop and fucked off back home leaving thousands of redundancies.

So pleased that we can promote our country to potential investors 😎

@Adamental2 I think about this often. It’s the creep of surveillance that I find most unsettling. The sense of freedom I remember that felt so calm.

Are there people out there who have been around since the 80s or 90s or prior who honestly think that the world is a better place now than it was back then? My kids are all teenagers, oldest turns 20 this year, and they think that it’s all in my head and that every generation thinks the time they grew up and was the best and that it’s just not true I’m not going to sit here and do a detailed comparison analysis, I’m just wondering if anyone out there who remembers those decades actually regards the world as progressing in the right direction ie that the world has become a better place since then? And if so, what drugs are they on? 😂

@Universality171 @London_W4 Proud to have been a barmaid.

@London_W4 I’m glad you referred to her as a barmaid and not some pc title like bar tender or bar person 👍

If I’m honest, I’m not entirely convinced by the presentation of my Coca Cola by the barmaid in the pub right now.
