@safx41 Finally a shop within walking distance for the fan base!

lfc store launch in london, brazy.

Country in decline. A genuine national embarrassment

This is literally straight out of the Love Islanders talent show episode ffs utter 🐶💩

@TheHughAnthony This is literally the housing crisis in a nutshell. Knock-on effects of delaying/preventing young couples starting families

Foreigners are buying up houses to rent them out to other foreigners with government funding. They don’t see us as a nation, they see us as an economic zone. Disgusting and should be worthy of expulsion from the country. DEPORT.

Two men live in Zone 2 London. Both are around 30. Both sleep in a one-bed flat. But only one believes he has a future in the city. James was born in London. He went to university, got a degree, found a decent job and now works at a marketing firm near Old Street. He earns just under £60,000 a year. On paper, he is doing well. But every month James opens his payslip and watches a third of it vanish before he ever sees it. Income tax.National Insurance.Student loan.Then comes the rent. Nearly £2,000 a month for a small one-bed flat with mould around the windows and a landlord who only renews the tenancy six months at a time. Every evening James scrolls Rightmove looking at tiny flats he cannot afford in the city he grew up in. Even the cheapest one-beds near him now cost around £400,000. The deposit alone feels impossible despite earning more than most people in Britain. His parents bought their first home younger than he is now. James still does not know if he will ever own one. So he keeps renting.Keeps waiting. He watches friends delay children. People earning what used to be considered “good money” still checking every direct debit before payday. Now meet Shaheed. He arrived in Britain recently and was granted refugee status. He does not work. He lives in a one-bed flat in East London. His housing costs and council tax are largely covered through the welfare system. He qualifies for free prescriptions, dental treatment and eye tests. He does not spend his evenings worrying whether the next rent rise will wipe out what little he has left at the end of the month. And this is the part driving so much public anger. James works full time, pays a fortune in tax and still cannot see a long-term future in the city he was born in. Shaheed does not work, yet has more housing security than the man whose taxes help fund the system. That is how a city loses its young people, because they stop believing hard work leads anywhere. London has to become a city where the people who work, contribute and build lives here can realistically afford homes, raise families and feel secure again.

Zarah Sultana, Your call to boycott Eurovision is the latest, predictable emission from a mouth that has never found a cause it wouldn’t defend. You wrap yourself in the flag of Palestinian solidarity, but everyone knows the truth. You are a political parasite using British taxpayers’ money to champion foreign wars and the groups who wage them. Let’s not pretend this is about some sudden moral clarity. This is the same Zarah Sultana who reportedly endorsed “violent resistance” against Israelis. That is the exact language used by groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. This is not an MP speaking. It is a spokesperson for extremism, rattling slogans from a script written in Tehran and Gaza City. You have expressed solidarity with antisemitic murderers while drawing a salary paid by the very people they would see destroyed. You stand in Parliament, a building that represents a democracy you clearly despise, and lecture the rest of us about morality. You use the privilege of your office to defend the indefensible and to smear a nation’s right to defend itself against barbarism. Every word you speak is an act of betrayal against the people of Coventry South and the United Kingdom as a whole. You are not a champion of the oppressed. You are someone with divided loyalties, drawing a wage from the state while actively working against its interests. Your loyalty is not to this country, but to the violent, extremist ideologies that seek its ruin. Make no mistake. Your days as a mouthpiece for extremism are numbered. When the cowards and traitors are finally removed from positions of influence, your kind are next. You will be held to account for the poison you spread. So take your boycott, your hashtags, and your thinly veiled hatred of Israel, and know this: we see you. We see you for what you are. A disgrace to the office you hold and a danger to the nation you claim to serve. You are a rotten stain on our politics, and your time is running out.

3x the 2022 views despite: -UK not performed yet -We don’t have a big name -Expected to come last Boycott? What boycott?

@EssexPR He’s u-turned on a u-turn! This’ll go down like a cup of warm sick in the red wall

No one voted for DIGITAL ID - no one. They have NO mandate for this. It wasn’t in their manifesto. MILLIONS showed their feelings on a Government petition. Expect protests. Big protests…

@eurovisionbets My first thought as soon as announced. How do you think this new intel may factor into SF2 Qs?

Just a thought for the moment since we don't have access to the votes, but 🇧🇪 might be the first country that was helped to Q because of the addition of the 18-25yo jurors. #Eurovision

@WillKingston Starmer wants to get closer to the EU… but bans its elected representatives from even stepping foot here?? Make it make sense

Dominik is a member of the European Parliament, for God’s sake. Some Johnny pencil pusher in the Home Office has barred him from entering the country, perhaps because he wasn’t canny enough to come via dinghy. This is absolutely insane.

Eurovision singer ‘Nemo’ says he’s very inspired by the ‘brave people’ of Gaza and dreams of visiting there one day. How do you think he would be treated there?

@Channel4News They won't have you believe it but this is the most-attended Eurovision post-pandemic. Eurovision is thriving

It's been going for 70 years, but this year Eurovision is facing its biggest boycott yet - due to whether Israel should be allowed to compete amid the ongoing war in Gaza. Russia was excluded after it invaded Ukraine - critics argue the same rules should apply to Israel.

@GoodwinMJ I'm in Austria right now and yesterday two locals asked me if England was really as bad as they've heard. Told them yes, and much worse than that. The Austrian people are aware of the dangers of following this path.

A new study in Austria has found that 41 per cent of young Muslims agree with the statement that their religious beliefs supersede the country's laws.

What is that and why am I paying for it

@Alexarmstrong I didn’t know you could hammer a massive, final nail into your own coffin while laying inside it but looks like Keir Starmer’s found a way

Starmer completely trashing Brexit. Signalling red lines will be ditched on the EU as he says “it is the Labour choice” to put “Britain at the heart of Europe”. A reminder to Labour MPs as to how the electorate are responding to these policies so far:

@lukerobertblack @DylanSmythUK How did you get on in Sutton?

“a few pockets” being Barnet, Hillingdon, Harrow, Bexley, Westminster, Wandsworth, K&C, Bromley and Enfield where we are the largest party. We even gained where we’ve struggled for well over a decade - in Brent, Greenwich, Ealing, Hounslow, H&F, Hackney, Waltham Forest.

@AwayDaysTips A lot of steps up to the away end but worth it when you’re there (and the view’s alright)

One of the best stadiums in world football. 🖤🤍 Right in the middle of the city, towering over everything around it… St James’ Park is absolutely iconic. 👏🏟️

@JuliaHB1 @DeniseMembery Incredible what a few Green votes in Hackney can achieve!

So impressive that they can do this, what with all the genocide and famine going on around them. The struggle is real ✊🏻

@EssexPR @GBNEWS You just alluded to it there — great shout: After Southport, Keir Starmer labelled normal people ‘far right’, slurs aplenty for caring about children’s safety I wonder how many who voted Reform yesterday took Keir’s words to heart. Stuck in their memory. A vote of revenge.

I’m on @GBNEWS at 9… I won’t mince my words on this shameless Prime Minister
