@Keir_Starmer Why don't we just call boat people mariners that's a skill.

Net migration has fallen 82%. I promised to restore control to our borders. My government is delivering. I know there’s more to do, we’re introducing a skills-based migration system that rewards contribution and ends our reliance on cheap overseas workers.

@sa_mufc @henrywinter The ball didn't just come off his arm it practically stuck under his arm.

@henrywinter Off his thigh onto his arm. Teammate scoring. Not handball. Still time to correct yourself @henrywinter

How on earth is that accidental!! It’s handball by Mbeumo. VAR was trying to bring some justice to the initial decision, invites ref to think again, to check the monitor. Ref sticks with his earlier aberration. Bizarre. Nottingham Forest rightly furious. #MUNNFO

@onlyeckles @henrywinter Player catches the ball under his armpit.

@henrywinter 🤷

@GaryLineker Surely not.

This might be the worst VAR decision I’ve seen (and there’s a lot of competition). Extraordinary given the significance.

@MatchDCentral If you could get players to stop cheating refereeing might be much easyer

🚨💣 West Ham believe the Premier League is working against them and fear the club is being pushed toward relegation this season. People inside the club think Tottenham’s bigger commercial and TV value could be influencing decisions in their favor. West Ham are now considering legal action over refereeing decisions, with several incidents from this season being reviewed internally. The club is also looking into matches involving rival teams, with growing belief that the mistakes are more than just “human error.” [@Mercado_Ingles]

@AngelaRayner Ingnorance is no excuse I'm told

I welcome HMRC’s conclusion, which has cleared me of any wrongdoing. I have been exonerated by HMRC of the accusation that I deliberately sought to avoid tax. When purchasing a home of my own with a mortgage, I did not own any other property and had no personal financial interest in the court-instructed trust set up to manage my son’s financial award. I was advised by experts that I should pay stamp duty at the standard rate. I set out to pay the correct amount of tax. I took reasonable care and acted in good faith, based on the expert advice I received, and HMRC has accepted this. I have always sought to act with integrity, and I believe politicians should be held to high standards - that is why I resigned from government and cooperated fully with HMRC.  I wanted to ensure that I paid every penny that I owed, and have done so. I am relieved that my family can now move on - and that I can get on with my job.

@Ed_Miliband It's the straits of north sea that's blocked is it.

After the second fossil fuel crisis in five years, it's clear that clean power is the only route to energy security. The Energy Independence Bill is the next step in our mission: tackling the affordability crisis, creating thousands of jobs and delivering energy security.

@Keir_Starmer Kier you pay 25million for Jewish security but pay the French .600million to let antisemitis into the Country. Can't you take your mate Macron to the human rights court.

I am deeply concerned about the terrorist attack that took place today. This is not an isolated incident. It is the latest in a spate of utterly vile attacks on the Jewish community. I’ve just chaired an emergency COBR meeting and tomorrow I’ll be bringing together criminal justice agencies to ensure we have effective and swift justice.

@Ed_Miliband With the farce of a parliament we've got, mps should forgo there extortionate pay rise don't you think.

We’re banning bonuses for energy company bosses who break the rules. For too long our energy market hasn’t worked for families and businesses. We’re changing that. lbc.co.uk/article/energy…

@Ed_Miliband How is a solar panel on a roof top secure energy when drones can easily focus on these fields of solar and wipe them out.

Energy security is vital for our national security and economic growth. Looking forward to addressing the National Growth Debate next Tuesday.

@AMGbadebo @NJ_Timothy Thought it was a christian country, my mistake.

@NJ_Timothy Nick, did you call the 2024 Trafalgar Square Outreach by christians a 'mass ritual prayer' and 'an act of domination'?

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

@bphillipsonMP Perhaps if you got all those religions to pray together it would be a little more impressive.

Christians, Jews, Sikhs and Hindus have all prayed in Trafalgar Square. Nick Timothy singled out Muslims, then had the brass neck today to sit on the front bench. He should be sacked. The Tories are following Reform into the gutter. Neither are fit to govern.

@premierleague No offsides at all

If you were granted one Premier League Wish, what would it be? Tell us yours, and it could be the one we make happen 💌👇

@EdwardJDavey Are the greens working you Ed.

Given Trump's illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills, Keir Starmer should advise the King to call off April’s state visit to the US. A state visit should not be given to someone who repeatedly insults and damages our country.

@MartinSLewis @Ed_Miliband Surely we should be both , our own oil while milligan gets his project up and running properly .

Just got off the phone after @Ed_Miliband called to discuss in detail the problems people are facing with domestic energy bills and heating oil. Here's what I fed through - your feedback would be useful... 1. HEATING OIL: This is the most immediate concern as many, often in rural areas or N. Ireland, are refuelling their tanks. Prices have rocketed, a few even suggest they've nearly doubled in a week. My biggest concerns are... a) Those who can't afford the new price b) Lack of specific regulation as heating oil isn't covered by Ofgem (though that's a longer-term issue) c) Some have anecdotally reported existing booked-in orders being cancelled, and being asked to rebook at much higher prices. I want to firm up whether this is widespread... I'd like to hear specific examples of how much prices are rising, especially of point c) and will pass them through to the Department for Energy. 2. CONSUMER GAS & ELECTRICITY BILLS: This is less imminent, but a potential ticking cost time-bomb. I'm focused on the Eng, Scot & Welsh system here... - In the short term: Most bills are protected from the spike in wholesale energy prices as the Energy Price Cap is set based on a significant time-lag. In fact it is locked in to DROP 6.7% in April. Those not on the Price Cap are mainly on existing fixes (which, due to unprecedented prior policy changes, will see most suppliers cut existing fix rates on 1 April, typically by 7% to 9%) so are also price protected for now. One current concern is the lack of availability of cheap fixes. While that's frustrating, in the short term it means those whose existing fixes are ending, will just (hopefully temporarily) need to move on to the Price Cap. There are also a minority of homes who are immediately affected, eg, those on time-of-use tariffs. These include Octopus Agile & Tracker, which move half-hourly or daily with wholesale rates. These are sophisticated user tariffs, and if necessary people have the short term option to switch back to a Price Cap tariff (though do check for restrictions on how long before you can switch back). So while none of that is great, it isn't crisis point. - The end of May is likely crunch time: This is usually when the next Price Cap (July to Sept) is announced. It currently seems very likely it will rise, though just how much all depends on how long lived the current energy price spike is. Yet the key is whether wholesale rates have dropped back down or not by that point. If they have, while the Price Cap rise will annoy many, it won't be critical for most for two reasons i) The July to Sept Price Cap is usually the lowest use period. So, even if typical use rose £200/yr, in practice this'd just be, at a guess, an extra £30 to £40 paid over the period. If by then wholesale rates are down, a substantial cut would be expected for the next (Oct) Cap. ii) The rate new fixes are set at is based on wholesale rates, so if wholesale rates have dropped by then, the big push should be to get people off the Price Cap and onto fixes which could possibly look to be 20%+ cheaper, avoiding any price hike. That should then leave only those unwilling or unable to switch paying more - the latter is an issue the govt would need to concern itself with at that point. Yet if rates haven't dropped back down by May, and it looks like it'll stay high so the October Price Cap will rise too, and no cheap fixes are available, then things get into real problem territory. The government needs to be (and I suspect is starting to) planning now for that eventuality in case more hard-core intervention is needed. Martin PS I said I'd be off socials for the weekend, as normal, but thought this was worth coming back on for. I'm now resuming my weekend break from socials.

@BorisJohnson Oh just piffling .

Starmer has made Britain something worse than a laughing stock - he's made us a piffling irrelevance mol.im/a/15621837

@TalkForestTv What methods.

Which player has adapted quickest to Pereira’s methods? Gibbs-White / Lucca / Hudson-Odoi / Other 👀 #nffc

@Wrightyswinning @cosmo_nffc Very wise.

@cosmo_nffc He should wonder how to create a chance, score a goal and take a set piece first. Perhaps get a shot on target too. Good player but I dont want to see him in an England shirt. Much better out there.

do you reckon anderson ever sits and wonders what ever happened in his career to find himself playing with such incompetent retards

@TalkForestTv Erm.

Which young Forest player has the potential to become a fan favourite in the next 5years? #nffc

@walshynffc He certainly huffed and puffed a bit more than others

Jota Silva was better than all our signings #nffc
