Chagos deal was a terrible one, but Tories wildly exaggerate cost at £35bn over 99 years; it was approx £10bn, adjusted for inflation

So our wonderful government @UKLabour is getting a tax windfall of up to £25 million per day yet won’t do anything to support the people of our country unlike the Polish or Spanish. The @hmtreasury rubbing their hands with glee yet their short-termism will cause serious economic damage, I do despair sometimes!

@HoratioNelson0 Perhaps Matthew could get his Westminster colleagues to actually do something as they sit on the Government benches?

Easy for you to say, Matthew. You're not running or working for a transport business. In fact, you and the rest in Stormont got a pay rise while being absolutely useless. No one in Stormont is worrying about paying the bills.

⚠️⁉️NEW fuel crisis: 'People have a right to protest, but not to disrupt people’s lives. There needs to be a plan to support people.' 🗣 @SDLPlive Stormont Opposition Leader @MatthewOToole2 has hit out at “Executive leadership” for its “inexcusable silence” on tackling rising household energy and fuel costs. 🎥Speaking to Chief Reporter @jamesgould23, he said this is not about political point-scoring and that the @SDLPlive will announce plans to address the situation on Monday when Stormont returns. This comes as protests are reported to be taking place in different locations across Northern Ireland today and into next week. Protests in the Republic of Ireland have been ongoing for several days, with vehicles including tractors and lorries blocking roads. Fuel duties in Northern Ireland are a reserved matter for the UK Government and are not controlled by the Stormont Executive.

@grahamck63 We are paying between €2.04 ~€2.13 for diesel in Andalucia yesterday. The figures for Spain being banded about yesterday for Spain, were actually for the Canaries who have a different tax to mainland Spain

For everyone getting their knickers twisted about Russia sending subs into our waters, I was following the buggers all over UK waters around 35 years ago I can still quote the ring gear mesh rate of an Akula sub 🤣 Calm down, it’s nothing new bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Absolutely pathetic. Irish Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan was just interviewed on RTE and he doubled down on his suggestion that Irish farmers are being manipulated by a British man who lives in Spain. The Irish government has lost the PR battle and they're now flailing about like eejits.

@GBNEWS What about the tax take for the Treasury? What about the jobs in Aberdeen? What about energy security? These people are as thick as mince with their stupid net zero mania

‘It would be wrong for people to think that drilling is going to bring down oil prices.’ Labour Peer Baroness Hayter dismisses claims that if Labour opened up new oil and gas fields in the North Sea, it would lower the cost of energy bills.

@Eyeswideopen69 Ah you mean Leprechaun economics…….ask why the young people all want to leave? As regards the UK, interesting all those doctors, engineers and scientists we have imported in their millions don’t seem to have done much for our GDP per capita!

The liberal center is “consistently wrong about everything”. But the Brexit right have demonstrated their political judgement since 2016 by • taking the UK of out the EU • championing Boris Johnson • remaining silent on Trump or Nethanyahu’s domestic policies and foreign wars • amplifying Trump and Musk’s insults to Britain and Europe - Ten years. More to come. And we can see the world their judgement and predictions are willing into being.
Oli Dugmore@OliDugmore

Rory Stewart tells me that the Brexit right and far right have been proven “catastrophically wrong” about Brexit, Trump, and immigration. “But their brilliant trick is to say the liberal centre has no judgement.”

@grahamck63 @DavidPintoD @StephenFlynnSNP Stephen Flynn who with his SNP buddies abstained from the Westminster vote to open oil and gas fields? He can fuck right off! Waster’s more interested in scamming freebies to football than protecting Aberdeen jobs!

.@JohnCleese - What would Christian “culture” look like if you represented it with 1 Sam 15:3 Josh 6:21 Deut 7:1 Deut 20:16–18 Ex 17 - Deut 25 Psalm 137:9 etc? How about actually meeting some Muslims and listening to them instead of demonising a religion you know very little about with selective quotations…
John Cleese@JohnCleese

This is complete nonsense To criticise a culture whose holy book advocates the killing of all the people they disagree with...is not racist It's culturalist And this criticism seems wholly justifiable to me Oh ! There's the door bell. Must be the police...

@lukejcr APD has been a money making Green scam for the Treasury since it was introduced. Study after study has shown that the impact would encourage economic growth and an increased tax take.
