@PeterStefanovi2 @NatashaC Is it fair that people who work pay for those who won’t get off their backsides and get a job?

'It's not right that people who don't go to university are bearing all the cost for others to do so.' Rachel Reeves tells @NatashaC that the student loan system is 'fair' following backlash over ballooning debts.

@afneil The fact they were late for the last 2 world wars doesn’t mean they have to be early for the next one.

Oh dear. Trump’s pal Putin will not be happy with this. Russians have always been clear they think they did more than anybody else to defeat the Nazis.

@GBNEWS If they stop paying out to all those people who have never contributed a penny to the welfare pot they would have more money to pay pensions to those who have.

State pension age increase could 'be brought forward' amid funding concerns gbnews.com/money/state-pe…

@cspan @pdoocy @PressSec Well if Trump gets his way we’ll all be speaking Russian in Europe soon. 🤨

.@pdoocy: "Is President Trump going to send the Statue of Liberty back to France?" .@PressSec: "Absolutely not...it's only because of the United States of America that the French are not speaking German right now. So, they should be very grateful, to our great country."

Former President of Poland Lech Wałęsa wrote the following letter to Donald Trump: 1/n

The best response to a bully is to stand up to them. The best thing for Europe and the UK to do is to step up, fund our security properly ( not with Treasury tricks and spin) and be prepared to use all means possible to ensure Putin fails in Ukraine. 1/2

@StigAbell This is pathetic, and shows that Trump didn’t even have the balls to meet Zelensky without someone to hold his hand. The USA is rapidly becoming the laughing stock of the world.

We can all pretend Trump and Vance are some sort of inspired geniuses. Or we can see two soft bullies haranguing a man who has been fighting a war to save his country for three years.

This is utterly repulsive! Trump and Vance just tried to humiliate Zelensky live on American TV, smugly demanding gratitude while openly mocking him like playground bullies counting favors. My respect for Zelensky—and my embarrassment as an American—just surged off the charts. I’m beyond disgusted!”

Very disappointed to hear the panellist and the host of the @haveigotnews show on Friday 8 November referring to what was clearly a chimpanzee as a monkey. Would have expected more from the supposedly educated people involved.

@TRobinsonNewEra If you’re old enough to murder, you’re old enough to be named.

@BorisJohnson And you promised us that voting for Brexit was the only way to stop the hoards of illegal immigrants coming to this country. That was a lie too.

If Labour wins big, the Commons will be crammed with Palestinian-flag waving Corbynistas - and it won't just be the rich getting soaked, it'll be everyone. Voting Tory is the ONLY way to stop Starmergeddon dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…

@Peston I don’t see any incentive for pensioners, since he is offering a cut in NI which pensioners don’t pay.

Sunak’s election strategy is old-fashioned. It’s a promise (bribe) of tax cuts for pretty much every demographic: employees, the self-employed, families with children on above-average incomes, pensioners, and first-time house buyers. His hope is that significant numbers of them, who may be thinking of voting Labour or Reform, will instead put an X next to the Tory candidate’s name, once they are in the privacy of the polling-station cubicle and where no one can ever know what they’ve done. “It’s a slightly cynical bet on human nature” said one of his closer ministerial colleagues. He’s right. But as I put to the PM in my question at the Manifesto launch, the strategy only works if voters believe the actions of the Tories in government for 14 years, where they’ve been raising the burden of taxes to levels we’ve not experienced since the late 1940s, are an anomaly, and should not be seen as a signifier of things to come. It is all about the credibility of jam tomorrow, and the credibility of Sunak as the jam maker

Spoke to council again today. Assured it would be done today. Guess what? Still not done. What a crap service @WodcNews provides. Well done @Conservatives You’ve really created a country to be proud of.

Glass recycling not collected on Wed. Recycling bin emptied and all neighbours’ recycling taken. Contacted @WodcNews Told it would be emptied within 2d. Still not emptied today, so I called them. Told it would be done today. Still not emptied. What am I paying council tax for?

@afneil This statement could be misleading. Whilst the government took back ownership of the infrastructure (eg track, signalling, etc), rolling stock and motive power remains privately owned, in some cases by foreign companies.

In fact most UK railway assets are state owned.

@David_Cameron So has @RishiSunak missed the point with regards to recycling?

The Prime Minister has asked me to serve as his Foreign Secretary and I have gladly accepted. We are facing a daunting set of international challenges, including the war in Ukraine and the crisis in the Middle East. At this time of profound global change, it has rarely been more important for this country to stand by our allies, strengthen our partnerships and make sure our voice is heard. While I have been out of front-line politics for the last seven years, I hope that my experience – as Conservative Leader for eleven years and Prime Minister for six – will assist me in helping the Prime Minister to meet these vital challenges. Britain is a truly international country. Our people live all over the world and our businesses trade in every corner of the globe. Working to help ensure stability and security on the global stage is both essential and squarely in our national interest. International security is vital for our domestic security. Though I may have disagreed with some individual decisions, it is clear to me that Rishi Sunak is a strong and capable Prime Minister, who is showing exemplary leadership at a difficult time. I want to help him to deliver the security and prosperity our country needs and be part of the strongest possible team that serves the United Kingdom and that can be presented to the country when the General Election is held. I believe in public service. That is what first motivated me to get involved in politics in the 1980s, to work in government in the 1990s, become a Member of Parliament in the 2000s and put myself forward as Party Leader and Prime Minister. The UK’s Foreign Office, our Diplomatic Service, our Intelligence Services and our Aid and Development capabilities are some of the finest assets of their kind anywhere in the world. I know from my time in office that they are staffed by brilliant, patriotic and hard-working people. They have been well led by James Cleverly, with whom I look forward to working in his vital new role. It will be an honour to serve our country alongside our dedicated FCDO staff and provide the continued leadership and support that they deserve.

This is the man who shouted approvingly that Hitler knew how to deal with the Jews. Has it ever crossed his mind that in a Nazi world there would be no room for him either, except perhaps as slave labour? It is right that the police are looking for him.

@bbcstrictly is a complete farce. If @TheAngelaRippon has any sense of fair play she should do the right thing and stand down from the competition. The judges’ decision was clearly rigged.

Absolutely ridiculous. Adam was far better. #strictly #StrictlyComeDancing

#StrictlyComeDancing An utter fix how can Angela STILL make mistakes and None of the judges grow any balls to tell her !! Got through on reputation only I’m so sorry Adam u deserved to go through ! Just coz it is bloody Blackpool next week ! Sort it OUT BBC !!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
