I can't say for certain if either of the gentlemen are 54, but I can say with a degree of certainty, that neither are female. BB is a 54 year old female. And the fact they are unloading food into a burger van tells me something is amiss.

@PhilipProudfoot So the cleaner who just wants to do a few hours to top her pension gets a raise, so the shop floor workers want a rise, so their team leader wants a rise, so their manager wants a rise so the group manager wants a rise so the directors want a rise. not sustainable?

@toobaffled I'm well known in our family for always having a bag of buttons in the car. Said to my daughter last week they don't taste good any more, stopped buying them now.

Cadbury’s ‘Dairy Milk’ got banned from being called chocolate in 27 countries… because it’s no longer chocolate. 🍫
They swapped the expensive cocoa butter for industrial oils and petroleum vanilla, then added PGPR to stop it separating. All done in sneaky little 1% changes so you’d never notice.
You’re not eating chocolate anymore – you’re eating a flavoured wax bar with a fancy wrapper.
Check the ingredients. See ‘vegetable fats’ or ‘PGPR’? That’s your sign it’s fake.
Real chocolate has 5 ingredients max. Everything else is just expensive processed junk.
They’ve been robbing your taste buds for years.
What’s next – ‘milk’ without the milk? 🥛

@Lea_EFC There's contact but it doesn't cause him to fall, he could have continued running. It used to be a contact sport but this type of cheating has ruined it, supported by soft referees and VAR.

@BGatesIsaPyscho So, concerned about dog inbreeding but not about human inbreeding?

🚨🇬🇧 Meanwhile in the UK
The British government are now considering BANNING 67 Breeds of dogs from UK streets ‼️
There is also plans to ban Dogs from parts of the English countryside.
Why?
The cover story is that it’s animal welfare, however the real reason, is simply, that Muslims consider Dogs to be ‘Haram’ in Islam - and are applying constant pressure to have the animal banned entirely.

@models_by_Russ Well put. As it's for the ones that don't initially leave voluntarily, I'm just waiting for the surprise when none leave voluntarily.
English

Dear Prime Minister & Home Secretary,
I hope this letter finds you well, fully caffeinated, and in possession of a calculator.
I’m writing with what I believe is a modest, fiscally responsible proposal. I understand the Government is offering up to £40,000 to certain individuals to voluntarily leave the United Kingdom. First of all — bold strategy. Nothing says “strong borders” quite like a cashback scheme.
Now, I regret to inform you that I am, in fact, a fully tax-paying, law-abiding British citizen. I know — awkward. I appreciate this may disqualify me from the premium exit package, but I’m willing to negotiate.
I would like to formally apply for £35,000 to leave.
You see, unlike some applicants, I haven’t broken any laws to get here. I didn’t arrive by dinghy. I didn’t require processing, housing, or legal appeals. I’ve actually been funding the whole operation through PAYE for years — which I believe makes me a loyal shareholder in this enterprise.
Given that you’re prepared to offer £40,000 for someone to depart voluntarily after entering illegally, I feel £35,000 for someone who’s been here legally all along represents excellent value for money. Think of it as a “Buy British, Get One Gone” discount.
For £35,000 I will:
• Leave quietly.
• Not require a press conference.
• Not demand a diversity officer to wave me off.
• Even carry my own suitcase to the airport.
I may also tweet a polite thank-you note on departure, praising the efficiency of the scheme.
Frankly, it feels like I’ve misunderstood how incentives work in modern Britain. All these years I thought obeying the law, paying taxes, and contributing to society were the winning strategy. Turns out the real pro-move is to arrive unlawfully and wait for a loyalty bonus.
Who knew?
While British families are juggling rent, energy bills, and the weekly food shop like contestants on a dystopian game show, it’s reassuring to know the Treasury has located a spare £40,000 per head for voluntary goodbyes.
May I ask — is there a points card? Ten years of National Insurance contributions and I get a free exit bonus? If so, I believe I’m overdue.
In the spirit of fairness and fiscal responsibility, I am not even asking for the full £40,000. I’m trimming £5,000 off to help balance the books. That’s the kind of responsible budgeting I was raised on.
If successful, I promise to:
• Leave via a scheduled flight (economy is fine).
• Not stage a protest on the runway.
• And refrain from re-entering on a small boat to see if I qualify twice.
All I ask is equal treatment. If departure is now a funded career pathway, I would very much like to submit my CV.
Yours in hopeful relocation,
A slightly confused taxpayer

@SkyBetChamp @SouthamptonFC Hmm Leicester 3 up and losing 4-3. When's that happened before? 🤔

@KNEECAPCEOL Why are they playing in swimming pools if it's so cold?
English

Unpopular opinion: I know it's a low bar, but Starmer has already achieved more than the corrupt, inept tories did
Reason he's so unpopular is in part down to the media, which of course Laura Kuenssberg, Chris Mason, Robbie Gibb & co have contributed to

Thousands child care saved.
No increase inc tax
£150 off all energy bills
Frozen rail fares
6 interest rate drops reducing mortgages
