@nickofnz Have you always been clueless or did you have to work at it?

The biggest driver of societal collapse over history has been wealth inequality. We must tax billionaires out of existence. #TaxTheRich

@DaleVince Usual nonsense from Vince Tax relief is not subsidy Rosebank will provide lots of well paid tax raising jobs directly with lots of others indirectly.

Shell are only interested in profits - the claim that new drilling will bring more tax is false - Rosebank needs a £3 billion tax subsidy, to it’s Norwegian owners, to produce oil that will not even 'set foot' in our country - it’s a scam on British taxpayers. New drilling only makes sense for companies like Shell, it makes no sense for the rest of us.

@MrLukeGeorge Very bad idea

The UK should rejoin the EU and join the Euro! Let's take back our seat at the decision making table! 🇬🇧🇪🇺

@AvonandsomerRob London

Name ONE British Town or City you'd advise a friend NOT to relocate to?

@Rainmaker1973 Free? I don’t think so

Luxembourg is the world’s first nation to offer free public transport for all, tackling traffic and climate change in one bold move. Luxembourg has pioneered a bold new era in urban mobility by becoming the first nation on Earth to eliminate fares across its entire public transport network. This groundbreaking policy covers every bus, tram, and train route nationwide, offering free rides to residents, cross-border commuters, and visitors alike. Financed through general taxation rather than ticket sales, the initiative was designed to tackle the country's severe traffic congestion—once among the worst in Europe per capita—and to sharply cut carbon emissions from road transport. By removing the cost and hassle of tickets, Luxembourg effectively turned public transit into a basic public service, as essential and accessible as clean water or electricity. The impact has been profound and measurable. Ridership surged as people left their cars behind, leading to noticeably less road traffic, shorter commute times, and a meaningful drop in urban air pollution. While first-class rail options remain a paid upgrade for those wanting extra comfort, the standard second-class system is now truly seamless: hop on, hop off, no barriers. Luxembourg's experiment has demonstrated that removing financial obstacles can drive a genuine shift toward sustainable travel habits. It has also served as an inspiring model for other countries and cities grappling with sprawl, gridlock, and climate goals. In an age when radical solutions are needed to address the mobility-climate crisis, Luxembourg proves that treating public transport as a universal right is not only feasible—it can be genuinely transformative.

@TomK_Brit1993 @mssassysally Taking the job

What do you think his biggest mistake was as Prime Minister?

@TomK_Brit1993 NO NO NO NO

Would you support Britain rejoining the EU?

@DaleVince Ratcliffe made his fortune by taking risks unlike you milking subsidies.

@OperaSocialist 2041 will be fine

Pointing out that Brexit has failed and that Farage and others lied about it is not a "betrayal" nor is it patronising. The overwhelming majority of the electorate now want to reverse Brexit. It's "the will of the people"...

@AndyBurnhamGM This “man of the people” crap isn’t going to cut it. You are an average politician with big ambition. That’s a dangerous combination.

Politics isn’t working for places like ours. I will change that. #AndyBurnham #ForUs

@Adrewzz @acjenky The EU Commission is broadly the equivalent of the UK Cabinet. The Prime Minister and his/her Cabinet Ministers are always elected MPs with the very occasional exception of someone from the HoL. The Commission is appointed

@johnstretch @acjenky The EU COMMISSION WORKS FOR THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT - NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND!!! Of course they initiate legislation when asked or instructed to - that is their skill set, but it has to meet Parliament's requirements and be approved by the Council.

Why are Brexiteers so afraid of democracy? We know so much more now. 10 years after making the worst mistake in UK history it is time to review the 2016 decision. If the Brexit cult are right (😂) they’ve got nothing to be afraid of.

@Adrewzz @acjenky Only the EU Commission can initiate legislation. None of them are elected. The President is chosen behind closed doors.

@johnstretch @acjenky What rubbish. The EU has more effective representative democracy than our arcane system in UK, if you understood either. Here the majority do not get what they vote for. We have minority rule after minority rule with special privileges for the monarch. How marvelous!

@Smithgeoffrey59 @hol40900 @MarinaPurkiss Not even close. The HoL can’t initiate legislation. The EU Commission is the only body that can initiate legislation. Do buck up

@johnstretch @hol40900 @MarinaPurkiss A bit like the house of lords then?.

.@MarinaPurkiss exactly. The real question isn't "should we rejoin?" It's "why on earth wouldn't we?" £100bn lost in trade. GDP 4% smaller. Food bills up 25%. And the crown still costs £138m. The Tories broke it. Farage cashed in. The crown watched. And you paid.

@Deborah77129964 @hol40900 @MarinaPurkiss The HoL cannot initiate legislation. The EU Commission is the only body that can initiate legislation. Do buck up

@johnstretch @hol40900 @MarinaPurkiss Who did you vote for in the House of Lords ?

@matthewdmarsden What we call Streaky Bacon is just as good as yours.

American bacon is better than British bacon. No contest.

@hunter_bad56811 @PGAChampionship I would ask him how he sees himself. My guess is sees himself as a British Indian.

@PGAChampionship He’s not Englishman lmao, he’s a Indian 😂

Aaron Rai makes history at Aronimink. 🏆 He becomes the first Englishman to win the PGA Championship in the stroke-play era. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #PGAChamp

@acjenky Test it? How? Referendum? 2041 will be fine. Looking forward to it

@johnstretch Let’s test your theory. Up for it, or too frightened?

@ShakerMaker2 @dave43law The price given never includes backup generation or cost of additional infrastructure.
