@PolitlcsUK @JessfromW It’s years since I used a bus.

🚨 NEW: The Government says bus passengers in all of England will be able to start tracking their bus in real time through Google Maps from tomorrow

@PolitlcsUK What war? We’re not at war.

🚨 WATCH: Keir Starmer's full address to the nation "It is now clear the impact of this war will affect the future of our country. So today I want to reassure the British people: no matter how fierce this storm, we are well placed to weather it"

@shipman_stuart May God spare those who dare.

What do you think ?

@romfordroy @ReemAmirIbrahim Yep, scrap it.

@karlmac1 @ReemAmirIbrahim While you're at it why not do away with all the progress made in the UK? Go back to rickets and low life expectancy?

The state pension costs working-age Brits over £150 billion a year. Is it fair for young people to pay the highest tax burden in British history to fund every single pensioner? Especially when 25% are millionaires?

@YFIHQ Maybe the Busa saw a Blackbird in the hedge?

Unfamiliar road? Go fast as you can!

@ynwalfc2006 @ReemAmirIbrahim Evens across the playing field across the private & public sector & removes the pension liability from the tax payer long term.

@karlmac1 @ReemAmirIbrahim Then why say scrap public sector pensions ?

@RobertMidgley07 @macnahgalla So why has the whole scheme not been scrapped? It’s not in our national interest.

For the first time ever, the true cost of the Chagos Islands Deal is now in legal writing UK taxpayers would pay at least £50bn to give away the Chagos Islands and rent back our own territory of Diego Garcia Not Starmer's £3bn Not £36bn Not £46bn But £50bn+ Let that sink in

@ynwalfc2006 @ReemAmirIbrahim Fine, pay 23% into your own private pension.

@karlmac1 @ReemAmirIbrahim Idiot. I pay 23% into my public sector pension. How much do you pay into yours?

@BasilTheGreat Reform are not going to help us.

🚨BREAKING: Reform UK's Zia Yusuf CONFIRMS they would NOT BAN Muslim Mass Prayer on streets of Britain “I would like my legacy to be a way of creating a cohesion amongst a country which does have a lot of Muslims in it, obviously, right, does have a lot of Hindus in it, does have a lot of Sikhs, obviously does have a lot of Christians." But would he as home secretary ban mass prayer? “Would we ban praying in public? No, we wouldn’t ban that,” [@politico ] Disappointing from Reform... AGAIN.

@liz_churchill10 Ok, but they’ve not left the EU yet.

EU COLONIZERS JUST GOT THEIR ASS HANDED TO THEM: Hungary didn’t just ‘remove’ the EU flag…they threw that symbol of Brussels BETRAYAL straight out of Parliament. The Globalist Vampire Squad is getting its’ tentacles chopped off one nation at a time…

@JohnCon72636524 Not really, I would’t be able to ride my bike.

All the guys with electric cars are absolutely creaming their crotchless panties in the hope that the country runs out of petrol and diesel

@any8607 @BrianRoemmele That's a banger

@BrianRoemmele I think the other version of her song is much better 😁

“Many engines in my factory” WARNING ⚠️ listening to this song will make you hear it for 72 hours rolling in the back of your mind.

@blaiklockBP Norway has the highest proportion of electric cars, their roads are mint. 🇳🇴

I note my post had content added. The question is why they are suddenly much worse: The case that EVs contribute to road damage: The main mechanism is weight. A University of Leeds study compared the weights of 15 popular electric cars to their petrol-powered counterparts and found that the electric cars were, on average, 312 kg heavier, mainly because EV batteries can weigh up to 500 kg. Using the "fourth power formula" — a method adopted by highway engineers — the analysis found that the average electric car puts 2.24 times more stress on roads than its petrol equivalent, and 1.95 times more than diesel. Larger electric vehicles weighing over 2,000 kg cause even more damage, with 2.32 times more wear applied to roads. Such stress causes greater movement of the asphalt surface, which can create small cracks that eventually develop into potholes. Residential roads and rural lanes — often thinner and less robust — could see accelerated cracking and potholes as heavier electric SUVs and saloons become the norm.

@Alex_steamD6 @MikeSouthWestUK That is not correct. They are legal. I've used them for years, zero issues. You need to use your common sense and only use in the repairable area. Also at the end of the day you as the driver are responsible for making sure your car is safe & road worthy.

@karlmac1 @MikeSouthWestUK As far as I understand these kits for repairs are not legal in the UK. Use a tyre dealer who will valcanise a patch from the inside.

I’ve never done this myself but has anyone patched a hole in a car tyre and had good results ? Any tips? This is my tyre. Decent tread left.

@AutoPap Buy a pre 2017 Tesla, free public charging for life.

You can't own an EV without a home charger. FULL STOP. Public charging is a rip off which negates the point of having one. Dealers need to be more transparent about this before they take your money.

@ActivePatriotUK Blame the government, every time they increase the cost or requirements on a landlord that cost must be passed on.

🚨 Everyone has their limits and breaking point A Nottinghamshire man blew up his house after his rent was increased by £80 😔 David Howard warned multiple friends he was going to blow his house up after his rent was increased by £80. The 53-year-old had lived at 26 John Street in Worksop for 11 years when he caused a fatal explosion - which resulted in his and his dog's death - on April 12, 2025. On the same day, he had received a letter from his landlord, Sarah Reilly, to inform him his monthly rent, which was mostly paid by Bassetlaw District Council, was going to go up by £80 to £540. At about 3pm, he began telling a number of friends that he was going to "blow the house up", saying "you wait until the end of the day", an inquest into Mr Howard's death was told on Monday, March 30. One of his friend's accounts of the events on April 12 was detailed by DC Daniel Akehurst during the proceedings. Shanelle Williams told officers Mr Howard had told her on the day that he was "p****d off and could not cope anymore" due to his rent going up. Ms Williams described Mr Howard as "in a mood and depressed". The woman was then called by Mr Howard at around 3pm, when he told her "he had pulled the pipes" and made comments about "blowing up the house". In another call at 3.29pm, Mr Howard told Ms Williams "I’ve done it, I’ve pulled the pipes off the gas. It’s going to go with a bang." The latter call lasted 42 seconds and was ended by Mr Howard before Ms Williams could say anything. Before this, Mr Howard had told friends he had been up for three days with no sleep and was "very upset" about the rent increase". A friend tried to give him advice but he wasn’t listening, with Mr Howard saying, "you watch, you wait until the end of the day" and "you wait to see what happens". The inquest was told Mr Howard had made similar comments before April 12. Around 3pm, Mr Howard locked the doors to the property he was renting after two of his friends left to go to a shop, which was described as "strange". Upon returning, the two friends were told by Mr Howard to "go, I don’t want anyone else to get hurt. Please just go". Asked by his friends if they could at least take his dog, Roxy, Mr Howard said: "Roxy is staying with me." The hearing wasn't told any of the friends made any attempts to notify emergency services of the events.

@energygovuk Oh great another government mandate & layer of bureaucracy. 😐

1/2 Our Fuel Finder scheme mandates all UK petrol stations to report their prices, helping households with a car find deals & save around £40 a year. Apps & websites are now displaying real time fuel prices, so drivers can find the cheapest fuel at their closest station.

@ZackPolanski I don’t want any of that ta.
