@TomasZdechovsky @donaldtusk No they’re not. Orban is standing up for Hungary’ legitimate interests, not those of anybody else, as any proper statesman should.

Hungary is and will be in the European Union. Victor Orbán and his foreign minister left Europe long ago.

Hungary never left Europe , just refused to kneel to Brussels open borders, mass migration, and endless wars. Orbán defends the sovereignty, culture, and future while you cozy up to globalist elites who turned parts of Europe into no-go zones. Real Europeans protect their nations, not sell them out. HUNGARY FIRST.

@donaldtusk The EU is not Europe. Victor Orbán and his foreign minister are acting in Hungary’s interests, unlike the EU.

@donaldtusk The war in Ukraine was caused by NATO expansion and Russia’s needing to stand up for its own legitimate security interests, you idiot. NATO should have been disbanded in 1991. It should never have been expanded eastwards. Ukraine should not be in the EU or NATO ever.

The threat of NATO’s break-up, easing sanctions on Russia, a massive energy crisis in Europe, halting aid for Ukraine and blocking the loan for Kyiv by Orbán - it all looks like Putin’s dream plan.

@DavidMcGregorBN The minimum wage increase has caused people to lose their jobs. Not so great at all.

From today, Labour has increased the minimum wage to £12.71 an hour, cut energy bills by £117, frozen prescription charges, expanded sick pay and brought in day one rights at work. Not bad for a government that’s supposedly “no different”.

So the minimum wage just went up and the government is very proud of itself. Here is what they are not telling you. Your wage goes up. Your tax goes up. Your National Insurance goes up. HMRC takes its cut before you see a penny of that £1,500. Now your employer is paying more for every single person on their books. They are not absorbing that. Nobody absorbs that. So prices go up. The coffee you buy on the way to work costs more. The lunch you grab costs more. The haircut costs more. All of it costs more because the people serving you are now on higher wages too, and their employers did exactly the same thing. So you got a pay rise, and everything got more expensive at the same time. Almost like it cancelled out. If they actually wanted workers to keep more money they would cut their tax. That's it. That's the whole idea. But that would mean the government collecting less. So instead they raise the minimum wage, taking a cut on the way in and benefit from the price rises on the way out through VAT, and call it a historic day for working people.

The countdown clock started 2 hours ago for a $4.2 billion 10-day trip where nobody gets out of the car. Artemis II will fly four astronauts around the Moon and back. No landing. No orbiting. A flyby. The last time humans did something similar was Apollo 8 in 1968, when the entire Apollo program's per-mission cost, adjusted for inflation, was roughly $2.8 billion. NASA is now spending 50% more per launch to repeat a less ambitious version of a mission it pulled off 58 years ago. The math on this rocket is staggering at every level. SLS has cost $29 billion in development since 2011. Add Orion at $13.8 billion. Add ground systems. Total bill before a single astronaut boards: north of $44 billion. The rocket was supposed to launch in 2016 for $5 billion. It launched its first uncrewed test in 2022 for $20 billion. The crew mission arrives in 2026 at a per-launch cost the Trump administration's own budget called "grossly expensive." Now compare. SpaceX's Falcon 9 costs $67 million per launch. That's 63 Falcon 9 launches for the price of one SLS. SpaceX's internal cost per reused launch is closer to $15 million, which means NASA could fly 280 Falcon 9 missions for what it costs to send four people on a 10-day loop. SpaceX flew 165 orbital missions in 2025 alone. SLS has flown twice total across its entire existence. The heat shield is the part that should keep you up at night. Artemis I's heat shield spalled so badly during reentry that NASA spent years investigating. Their solution: fly the same heat shield design but change the reentry angle to a steeper trajectory. The crew will hit Earth's atmosphere at 25,000 mph, temperatures exceeding 5,000 degrees, with a shield design that already failed its only test. Wednesday at 6:24 PM Eastern. 80% favorable weather. Four humans in a capsule built on shuttle-era engineering, riding the most expensive rocket ever constructed, testing a heat shield that cracked last time. The Apollo astronauts did this with slide rules and 4KB of RAM. We're doing it with $44 billion and a prayer.

Action. Wonder. Adventure. Artemis II has got it all. Don't miss the moment. Our crewed Moon mission will launch as early as April 1. Learn how to watch: nasa.gov/ways-to-watch/

@Keir_Starmer NATO should have been disbanded in 1991. There is no Russian threat. Russia is defending itself from western aggression, its own legitimate security interests and the ethnic Russians in Ukraine persecuted by the Bandera Nazis, Britain and America put in power.

We will be defined by our ability to stand up for British interests in this volatile world. To make our country more secure and resilient. To give working people a fairer deal and deliver more opportunities for their children.

@lukejcr @Ed_Miliband But Luke there is no cut, that which consumers do not pay, went onto taxpayers, which is bonkers! People should pay for the energy they consume. There will be a massive increase in energy bills in June, due to Mad Milibands stupid energy policy's

That's total rubbish 1. The cap level is only down £79 since the General Election 2. This has been achieved by moving about 75% of the Renewables Obligation from bills to taxation 3. This is adding £7-8 billion to the tax burden You're not lowering energy costs, you're just changing who pays for them PLUS the price cap was a major factor in the failure of HALF of suppliers in 2021-22 which cost consumers £2.8 billion (c£100 per household) This was predictable: the exact same thing jaooe in California when it introduced a retail price cap in the 2000s Research shows that price caps lead to tariff concentration... Everyone prices to the cap. They also inhibit competition... Consumers see no reason to switch since the regulator is already ensuring they have the "best price" So the cap is a bad thing and consumers would be better off without it

@lukejcr @Ed_Miliband Classic sleight of hand, nothing more. The “cut” is being paid by general taxation. People need real cuts to their energy bills, not gimmicks. That can only be achieved by removing all the subsidies on the fake renewables. Abandoning Net Zero; exploiting the North Sea & nuclear.

Back in 2013, @Ed_Miliband proposed an energy price cap. David Cameron called it “Marxist.” Today it kicks in, cutting £117 a year from bills, perfect timing given the conflict in Iran. Turns out someone was right all along. Cheers, Ed. ⚡

@UKLabour No it’s not. This Labour Government doesn’t care at all about the white British working-class. That’s what really matters, not someone claimed background.
