@fesshole Found it! youtu.be/Aq5WXmQQooo

18 years ago, I went skydiving in a very thin and low-cut top. That video is that skydiving company's most viewed clip. I look matronly these days but that view count and "I'd hit it" comments pick me up when I'm low.

@LBC @TomSwarbrick1 Imagine if they focussed as much on the Uber wealthy.

’You can access £60,000 of benefits for a medical condition without a diagnosis.' ‘Make that make sense.’ @TomSwarbrick1 believes ‘something’s gone wrong’ with the UK’s welfare system.

@BenKentish Probably because he's done nothing.

What’s mad about this is that he hasn’t actually done anything particularly unpopular. Yet he’s more unpopular than Blair after Iraq, Cameron after austerity, Johnson after Partygate and Truss after, well, Truss.

@SangitaMyska @mikecmorgan I'm on the left but still think the sentence was excessive same just stop oil etc.

Lucy Connolly was not a hero, nor was she a political prisoner. She is, however, a case study in the psychological disorder of fake victimhood created and manipulated by politicians with a far right agenda. (Screen shot via @mikecmorgan)

@Telegraph Less for more. Wonderful.

🚨 The average family will see council tax bills go up by more than £100 in April, the Government has announced. Read more here 👇 telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…

🔴 Donald Trump is considering offering the UK a special deal that would exempt British exports from billions of pounds of new tariffs #Echobox=1731141802-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/20…

@PolitlcsUK @RossLydall This is why you need a union.

🚨 NEW: Tube drivers have been offered the following deal by TFL to get them to call off strikes: - Four-day week - 4.5% pay rise - ⁠Paid meal breaks - ⁠2.5 hours a week less work - ⁠35-hour working week - ⁠Extra week's paid paternity leave [@RossLydall]

@LBC @IainDale Nobody's all good or all bad normally. Usually we see what we want to see.

“You can’t dismiss people, everybody has the right to a view.” Discussing the idea that ‘stupid people vote for Donald Trump’, @IainDale compliments the President-elect’s skill of selling his message to voters.

@Dr_BellaR I would wish for unlimited wishes.

@BenKentish I served in Afghan but we can't police the world.

This is what the West enabled when we handed control of Afghanistan back to the Taliban. And now, silence. No outrage, no protests, barely a condemnation.

@NoContextBrits Surely the toast wouldn't last the cooking time?

@wiseconnector My mind talks to itself. Sometimes it feels like I'm doing it.

I do. You?

@krskipp @c_dodson_thatch It's a difficult balance. I do think we would have far more shootings if all police were armed.

@Madz_Grant Tbh it's about time those with assets pay the same percentage tax as people who work. Even if they do/have both.

If you work hard but don't have constant financial worries, or if you work full-time but happen to have assets or savings, then you are not a "working person" in the Prime Minister's "mind's eye" Proper Lewis Carroll logic here

@LBC @NickFerrariLBC People that work....

'I think I might terminate this interview.' Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury James Murray refuses to draw answer on what he believes the Prime Minister means by 'working people'. @NickFerrariLBC is not impressed...

@paulabearthe2nd Well yeah you said you work full time.

@lukerobertblack @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour Why should you pay less tax on them though?

I work hard, often quite late and at weekends. I also have invested for many years - in fact my Stocks and Shares ISA is how I got on the property ladder. But according to @Keir_Starmer and @UKLabour I am not a “working person” and my contributions to the economy / society are clearly not needed. But evidently my wages and my gains are - gains that I took a risk on through buying assets when the economy was plunging due to COVID but has now recovered. @Keir_Starmer you are anti growth, anti business, anti aspiration and you aren’t up to the job. We will all be worse off because of your ideological hatred of risk takers, aspirational people who want to do better in life and want to work hard.

@c_dodson_thatch I think the officer used reasonable force but tbf if they weren't armed police what would they have done?,

@NoContextBrits It's a timeless piece of fashion tbf.

@GMB Has he lost his anonymity? Nobody knows what even looks like.

'An honest up-right police officer does exactly what he's trained to do and loses his anonymity and yet a team of gangsters that go into a nightclub to shoot a rival gang member are allowed anonymity.' Should there be more legal protection for firearms officers?
