@GeoffBuysCars @harrym_vids It's called working the system, if there is a grant to apply for. Go and get it.

I got this email, and thought I'd share it. If you are a car guy, you love @harrym_vids. We all do. But... We have questions.

@wheat_daddy @wass74 @LincolnCity_FC @RhondaT40 Get well soon.

@wass74 @LincolnCity_FC Morning Nigel. Afraid I won’t be going, but @RhondaT40 will! 5/6 weeks on crutches so that’s my season over. 😢

Cheers and good morning Championship Bound #Imps to a home @LincolnCity_FC match day 👊🔴⚪️ #UTI

@cattlefinishers Hydrogen?

What's this in't yard? Somebody is ticking a box. Psst, it isn't me! Trucking hell or...

@gone_to_Turkish @AudiUK Go to An independent audi garage. Just as good and cheaper.

@AudiUK It does not take an hour to “diagnose” a broken spring. It did not take an hour when I had a broken spring last year. In fact it did not require any diagnosis at all by the repairing dealer. It sounds like “gouging” !

@audiuk. Can you tell me why an audi dealer needs to charge me £180 “diagnostics “ before they will quote for a broken spring identified by another Audi dealer during a routine service ?

@RachelReevesMP I have to work today.... Things are tight here. No rest for me on bank holiday. It's your fault.

Today we are lifting 450,000 children out of poverty with the end of the two-child limit.  This Labour Government is achieving the biggest reduction in child poverty over a Parliament since records began.  Change promised. Change delivered.

@UK_Compounder What small holding have you got?

A little post about me for anyone who's interested, as there's lots of new followers and I haven't done one of these before! I'm 36, married with 2 kids. I'm an M&E engineer by trade but now work in the financial side of construction, and have a small-holding at home that keeps me very busy. 🐐🐓🐑🐣🐕 I started full-time work at 16 because I knew I wanted to earn asap, but I only started investing at around 30. This came about a year after I met my wife and when things started getting serious, I quickly realised I needed to sort my finances out!! I had always earned well, and while never terrible with money, I had no plan and didn't know about investing. So, my money did nothing for 14 years. Actually, that's not true, I bought, renovated, and sold properties in that period. 🏡 This really set me up. So I had decent equity for my age, but... no liquidity or diversification I initially discovered investing through @DaveRamsey shorts and then got curious from there. While I don't agree with all his views on debt, I'm grateful that this was the start of my journey. Budgeting, increased earnings, regular investing, and a partner that shared my goals, have led me to my current portfolio in the space of around 6 years (not including property equity). Though this does include a couple of small workplace pensions I consolidated. Things were going well, and then I was made redundant in 2022 💀... This happened a few months after moving house and a few months before getting married. We had stretched to buy the house and get married in the same year, so we had £3k in savings, less than one months living expenses.... Squeaky bum time!! This was a wake-up call to step up my game... New job and upped my salary by £25k ✅️ 6 months emergency fund saved ✅️ Min 20% invested a month ✅️ Secondary source of income ✅️ Cleared all debt except the mortgage ✅️ Helped my wife negotiate a £10k rise ✅️ My life became a montage for a couple of years 😅. Plus, whilst financially recovering, my wife fell pregnant too because we enjoy playing life on hard mode. Anyway, it all worked out, and I decided to start posting on X in January 2026. This is because I had made all the usual financial and beginner investing mistakes, and so decided to share my journey to hopefully help others avoid the same. Plus the fact I didn't really know about investing until I was 30 is mental, and that was the main driver in creating this account, to hopefully help make others aware of how easily financial freedom can be achieved if you start young enough and keep it up consistently. When I first started X, my aim was to be strictly educational and almost show know personality. However I realised quite quickly that not only is that boring to keep up, but that X is all about community and connections, and that's what I've come to enjoy about it. It's been great getting to know everyone. That's enough from me 🫡

@UKLabour The country is a mess. Potholes and litter everywhere.

Pride in Britain, everyone who calls it home, and our place in the world. Vote Labour on 7 May.

@AndrewTaylornb @SawyerWhisler @TheFarmingForum

If you had to build one revenue stream on your farm that had nothing to do with the commodity market, what would it be? Not a trick question. Genuinely trying to figure out what people are thinking about.

@EssexgoonerMr They haven't talked about the black hole this year?

⚠️ LABOUR - Would never have been elected if voters had be told the truth. And the truth behind the glossy manifesto actually looks like this - ■ Winter fuel allowance cancelled ■ Highest tax in 70 years ■ Highest electricity in the world ■ Fake £22 billion black hole ■ 22.3% pay rise for doctors ■ 15% pay rise for train drivers ■ Attempts to join EU by stealth ■ Closed the migrant barge ■ 4 more years of hotels for illegals ■ NI tax rises for businesses ■ £500 million to foreign farmers ■ £3.4 BILLION on consultants ■ Two tier policing at protests & riots ■ Crackdown on free speech ■ No deportations for foreign criminals ■ Let prisoners out early ■ Net zero madness spending ■ Carbon capture experiment ■ Solar factories on green belt ■ VAT on private schools backfired ■ Softer sentences, prisons are full ■ Scrapping Jury Trials ■ Free clothes for MPs ■ Free tickets for MPs ■ Rent free house for MPs ■ Free pass for Lord Ali for Downing Street ■ Introducing pay per mile ■ Ended steel production ■ Stopped oil and gas licenses ■ Refused to use huge new gas field ■ Refuse to Drill the North Sea for oil ■ Spaffed £8.3b on British energy ■ Energy bills went up TWICE ■ Palestine marches out of control ■ Ended free speech in universities ■ Increases in fuel duty ■ Said "free the sausages" ■ Fired his chief of staff ■ Fired his energy minister ■ Chancellor isn't an Economist ■ Gave millions more to Ukraine ■ Gave £50 million to Syrian militants ■ Invited Syrian Terrorist to Downing Street. ■ Scraped 'Rwanda Deal' ■ Largest number of illegal migrants recorded ■ Gave away the Chagos Islands ■ Revoked land wind farm ■ Banned Elon Musk from 'Investment Summit ' ■ Investigated by Electoral Commission ■ Lord Ali under investigation ■ Inheritance tax on farmers ■ Lied to WASPI women ■ Attempting to bring in blasphemy laws ■ Gave £500 million to foreign farmers ■ Chancellor turned out to be unqualified ■ Highest government borrowing in history ■ Reviewing blasphemy laws ■ Stabbings up ■ No Grooming gang enquiry NEVER be fooled by Labour again‼️

@mb_ghalibaf It's only a bit of metal. It can be replaced easily. So don't worry.

If the United States gets three more victories like this, it will be utterly ruined. 👏

@Met4CastUK First place i go to weather on here. Thanks for your time on here.

This is goodbye 👋 I have been giving this a lot of thought over the past couple of months and I’ve decided, due to changing circumstances that I will no longer be updating this account or any other accounts. It’s been a lot of fun over the past 8 years I’ve been on this platform and I’ve learned a significant amount about weather and forecasting, thank you for following along and joining in and I hope my updates over the years have proven useful. In my mind, the landscape for weather information is shifting and accounts like mine are becoming less useful or relied upon in the way they once were. The rise of misinformation and personal attacks directed by idiots, towards those who post “red maps” and discuss weather mean that this hobby is no longer fun, it’s become rather tedious and I’ve always said when it stops being fun then it’s time to stop. I will still be tracking and keeping an eye on the weather more privately, of course, my interest in that side of things is still very much alive and likely always will be! ⛈️ God speed ✈️ stay safe. Spend as much time in nature as you possibly can. Enjoy the weather, whatever it is. Thank you.

@Dual_identity @DaveTheRave070 @MrsLD10 They won't know at all at the mot station.

@DaveTheRave070 @MrsLD10 Won't pass a mot though with that deleted

Paid £425 this week to get this stupid bloody light fixed ...... Few days later it's back on!!!!..... I give up being an adult ... I give up on everything around me breaking, problem after problems 😢😭 #Problems #Broke #adulting

@TheSecretAcct Slow horse is brilliant.

Flying on your own. One thing I’ve noticed is how noisy everyone is. Even just people taking. Trying to watch Slow Horses on my iPad. I was going to buy some noise cancelling headphones but thought I’d stick to my Apple EarPods. This flight has convinced me to get some. Any recommendations? Thinking about @Bose

@2147mill And people on a boat want come here...

Paid £8.40 for two coffees in Richmond this morning. Money doesn’t go very far in the Uk. Spain that would be €4.50 for two and be considerably better coffee

2 years of winter fuel, a gym membership, and a heap of therapy… all sitting in one pile 👍💪 100% renewable, sustainable, zero miles, from winter fallen branches Labour and @Ed_Miliband, want to ban this Completely detached from reality, this is rural Britain they do not understand #Farming #Countryside #RenewableEnergy #RuralEconomy #EnergyCrisis #FoodSecurityIsNationalSecurity

@GeoffBuysCars I have got shares in that house builder.

Well it seems the momentum on the Hampson Auction videos is finally dropping off, based on viewing statistics. The snowball is now rolling and I know that victims are getting themselves organised, I'm told they've created a WhatsApp group so this thing can carry on with them! Lots more to come from disgruntled sellers, so I'm sure this isn't the end of the story. It's been a fun little video series. There may be another instalment yet, who knows? Right, on with another week, let's do Persimmon Homes next!

@RachelReevesMP @CMAgovUK But you have got a 10 billion black hole to fill in though.....

Unjustifiable price hikes for fuel as well as heating oil will not be tolerated. The @CMAgovUK have my full backing in using its powers against those seeking to exploit the current situation and its customers.

@_FinancialFox_ @2147mill I sometimes help make it. Not enough rain last year to make the grass grow.

@robotmilk2 @2147mill With a last name like Hayes, I’m not surprised you know the price

I just checked my dividends for February. £550 while I was working my 9-5. That's not retirement money yet. But it's 3 years of grocery bills I'll never have to worry about. The machine is building itself.

@_FinancialFox_ @2147mill Hay is expensive this year.

@2147mill What are you fucking eating, hay?

@BBCNews Couldn't give a toss to look after their own people.
