@andy_cov93 my EV costs just went down to less than £4 for a full battery (around 300 miles) 😀 #choices

For every $5 a barrel that oil went up, petrol went up what 3p a litre INSTANTLY on every single forecourt. Oil price went - down - SIXTEEN PERCENT in the last 24 hours. Did you see a single petrol station lower their price today? Did you fuck. Money grabbing bastards

UK exports to the EU hit a record high in 2025, up 19% since 2016. There's no Brexit damage. Labour's EU Reset is a political choice, not an economic necessity. wp.me/p9GdkQ-a2b #Brexit

I have been forensically digging through these asylum contracts, and one stands out to me. It is absolutely staggering. Please read on. £1,593,535,200 for 'Provision of Bridging Accommodation and Travel Services’ awarded to ‘Corporate Travel Management (North) Limited’. According to the official record, they’re based in Bradford… Let’s dive into it. It’s related to the Bibby Stockholm, housing illegal migrants on a barge off the coast of Dorset. Bradford is certainly a strange place to base such an enormous contract. What is all of that money, OUR money, being spent on? All this information is taken from official documents, labelled ‘sensitive’. The illegals must be provided with a ‘varied daily menu’, taking into account all religious needs. If the illegal arrives late and missed the evening meal? They must be provided with a ‘light snack’. What about cleaning? A ‘cleaning programme’ must be delivered to the standards set by the ‘British Institute of Cleaning Science’. Routine cleaning must be provided, and their cabins are cleaned on a ‘twice weekly basis’. A ‘house-keeping laundry service’ is included, with a maximum '48-hour turn around’' Information on the local area is provided - including amenities and facilities. Illegals are assisted to make contact with a local GP surgery and dentist - they are assisted to do this. The illegals are to be taken and returned from medical appointments. A ‘programme of organised recreational activities' are provided, seven days a week. Activities available ‘morning, after, and evening each day’. Full Wi-Fi coverage is required, with a bank of mobile phones available '24/7'. Transport requests will be taken at short notice, all day every day. The transport must be ‘punctual’. ‘Adequate transport links’ must be provided to assist the illegals into the local area - and booking of transport services must be delivered for those ‘who wish to travel beyond the local area’. Warnings against ‘unconscious bias’ are made, and it’s adamant that ‘the interests of the Service Users are best served.’ It goes on and on and on. Are you happy that your tax is being spent on these services for illegals? For transport? Recreational activities? Shipping them into local communities to roam the streets? One of these illegal migrants was sentenced for sexually assaulting a teenage girl on a beach. There will be many, many, many others. 'Corporate Travel Management (North) Limited', based in Bradford, received this astronomical contract. A strange company name for such a service. What was the procurement process? How was this decided? I have put these questions to the Home Office, and I am demanding answers. The Bradford firm was told on the 24th of February 2023 that they had been awarded this £1.5 billion contract, excluding VAT (with an extension option.) Who was the Home Secretary at this time? Reform’s Suella Braverman. Who was the immigration minister at this time? Reform’s Robert Jenrick. They were the ministers, they were responsible. I want to know exactly why these outrageous contracts were signed off. It is scandalous. SO much more information on these contracts is redacted. I am going to find it... We should not be caring for these illegals, we should not be housing them, we should not be accommodating them. We should be deporting them. On an industrial scale. They are treated better than British citizens. FAR better. It makes me sick. The amount of OUR money that has been spent on these third world criminals by politicians (Reform, Conservative and Labour) is the biggest scandal of our time.

Remainer logic. Dumb then. Dumb now. You don't have to be subservient to your neighbour, to trade with your neighbour. Ask Bonnie if she thinks Canada should follow US laws under Trump, I bet I know her answer.

@slackson1 he's ex PSG and thinks he's showing them he can play... actually the opposite

Ekitike is shite all he wants to do is flicks that don’t work instead of doing the easy pass or holding it up #LFC

Starmer has immediately flown to the Middle East to emphasise his crucial role in the US-Iran ceasefire, which he didn’t broker, didn’t know was coming, didn’t participate in shaping and had absolutely no part in whatsoever

The @labour government just turned down £40-50million of revenue to the UK economy because one of the world's most popular music artists said some awful things about Jewish people which he has subsequently regretted, apologised for and offered to repair by meeting key Rabbis. Let that sink in... Terrifying times.

Funny how it’s gone very quiet about McSweeney’s “stolen” phone. As a security cleared person (and I assume/hope that Starmers' Chief Adviser was cleared at the top level) there are some basic responsibilities that an individual has. The devices they work on are subject to SC regulations, including, very importantly, what to do if they are compromised in any way (which includes loss or theft). There will be government protocols which very likely instruct individuals to report this first to the security office of the area they work in. In McSweeneys' case this, one assumes, is the security desk at No 10. The first step is NOT to call the Police and very much NOT to provide inaccurate information but to report it to your security desk. A Security Cleared person has a significant responsibility and it is not one to be taken lightly or with nonchalant triviality. So while MSM gets distracted by the phone call transcript with the Met Police the real question is: when did McSweeny report it to the security desk at No 10, if he did at all?

@markgoldbridge er hello, which defender (LB?) was ten feet back playing Diaz on..

Lovely goal by Bayern. Trent defensively shit again

We were promised VAR would improve accuracy and means we focus on the football. How the fuck can anyone think it's been a success? Killing the game. Killing the passion. Killing the spirit.

4,043 at seventh tier FC United of Manchester today. 8,200 at fifth level York City. Massive crowds at every level this season in England. 24k at third tier Bolton today. Good to see.

UNSUSTAINABLE

@jironsmt same in the #Ioniq5 and it has VTL to make breakfast

テスラを買うことにした決め手の一つは「キャンプモード」。専用マットレスで大人が2人楽に横になれ、EVなのでエンジンをかけることなく、24時間快適に空調が効いたホテルのような部屋になる。

By supprting rejoining the EU, Zack Polanski and the Green Party support reintroducing the mandatory testing of cosmetics on animals - as required by EU law, and removed from UK law after Brexit. Doesn't sound very Green does it. Be careful which hypocrites you vote for.

I voted Remain in 2016 Not only did I accept the democratic vote as 8% more voted Leave than Remain, but the data since shows Leave was a massive advantage We’ve not only done far better than all EU countries but we’d have at least doubled our debt by staying @TerraOrBust

@AndyBTravels drink more alcohol on the flight! 😀

AndyB must learn lessons! Long haul flying often leaves me with a cold that turns to bronchitis…. I do stay hydrated on flights - wha else to do?

Former Pfizer Chief Toxicologist Dr. Helmut Sterz just testified in the German Parliament on March 19, 2026. He straight-up said the mRNA COVID shots skipped proper cancer risk checks because of ‘time pressure.’ And for mass production? They switched to a bacterial process that left ‘significant contamination’ with bacterial DNA in the vials. He called the whole rollout a ‘vaccination tragedy’ and estimated tens of thousands of excess deaths in Germany alone. If even insiders from Pfizer are now saying it should never have been approved this way… what else are we still not being told? t.me/WikiLeaksOrgan… ✅️

National League clubs ranked on how near their nearest Tesco is by walking distance.

Just to remind people. The UK post-Brexit joined the CPTPP trade bloc with 11 other countries, of a collective size on par with the EU but actually growing economies not stagnant ones. The terms of the CPTPP deal are far superior to the deals the EU has with those countries.

Rory Sutherland made a quietly devastating observation about one of the biggest societal shifts of the last 50 years. He said the move to the double-income household started as an option but quickly became an obligation. The big winners? Governments (twice as many people to tax) and property owners (now two salaries were needed to buy a house). The big loser? The family itself, which lost roughly 35 hours of discretionary leisure time per week — with no real increase in living standards, because the extra money was largely soaked up by higher house prices and taxes. It’s a classic example of how something that begins as liberation can quietly turn into a new form of constraint. Longitudinal studies on happiness and time use (including data from the American Time Use Survey and OECD reports) show that the sharp rise in dual-earner households correlated with stagnant or declining leisure time for families, while subjective well-being metrics for parents have not risen in line with the additional income — supporting the idea that much of the gain was captured by housing costs and taxation rather than improved quality of life. It’s a reminder to look carefully at changes that society presents as inevitable progress. What do you think — has the double-income model delivered more freedom or more pressure for most families?
