Flying to another country to co-host a VIRTUAL summit. You couldn't make this stuff up. 🤯

@BBCBreaking Of course not. It’s never anything to do with him. It’s always someone else’s fault.

PM was not aware Lord Mandelson failed security vetting for US ambassador job until this week, UK government says bbc.in/41D0z8g

@ukhomeoffice You’ll do nothing in reality, just like all the other lies you’ve told.

Asylum handouts and accommodation will be removed for illegal migrants who abuse Britain’s generosity.

@bob_wilson63 @ReturnofColin2 He didn’t tick any of the required boxes.

@ReturnofColin2 Love listening to Nick Ferrari, great knowledgeable broadcaster. He should have been offered the question time job when David Dimbleby left.

When Nick Ferrari is in the mood, he's one of the best in the business. And he's usually in the mood 💯💥

@Keir_Starmer You are irrelevant. Please understand this.

I welcome the ceasefire agreement reached overnight, which will bring a moment of relief to the region and the world. Together with our partners we must do all we can to support and sustain this ceasefire, turn it into a lasting agreement and re-open the Strait of Hormuz.

@itvnews Any chance to leave the country. Starmer is a total embarrassment to the UK and no one cares what he says or does in the international scene. Worst PM ever.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is travelling to the Gulf to reiterate the UK's support for the newly agreed ceasefire between the US and Iran. He will hold talks with Gulf leaders on “practical efforts” to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. itv.com/news/2026-04-0… ITV News Political Editor @Peston is travelling with the PM

The nut zero zealotry of Ed Miliband. A new occasional series. [feel free to add]. Fertiliser prices and shortages are soaring because the petrochemical industries of the Gulf states are major global suppliers but the Strait of Hormuz, through which they export, is closed. Not good for the spring planting season. Undaunted the UK will introduce a levy on imported carbon-intensive fertiliser as part of its costly obsession with cutting emissions, even when the impact is slight. At a time when we should be increasing food security government policy is to penalise farmers further.

@wesstreeting The power to stop the strikes in in your hands so you say. What a shambles you lot are.

The Tories refused to negotiate. We have negotiated - with BMA officers, who agreed it and recommended it to their committee. Their committee rejected it and have refused to meet me repeatedly. There is fault here, but it’s not the Government’s. It takes two to tango.

@emilyhewertson You should go to watch the nativity play they put on each year.

Fantastic but emotional to witness The Passion of Jesus today in Trafalgar Square. Two performances with a packed crowd. Things we love to see. ✝️

There's not enough oil under the North Sea to affect oil prices... ...But there's enough to destroy the climate. ??

@daveatherton This is all produced and paid for by @WintershallPlay through donations. They get no funding from the mayor of course. Please donate if you’d like to see this maintained.

Trafalgar Square right now.

@RebeccaCait04 @daveatherton The Mayor provides no input and no funding for this. It’s all paid for and produced by @WintershallPlay .

@daveatherton happens every year. put on by the MAYOR OF LONDON

So the minimum wage just went up and the government is very proud of itself. Here is what they are not telling you. Your wage goes up. Your tax goes up. Your National Insurance goes up. HMRC takes its cut before you see a penny of that £1,500. Now your employer is paying more for every single person on their books. They are not absorbing that. Nobody absorbs that. So prices go up. The coffee you buy on the way to work costs more. The lunch you grab costs more. The haircut costs more. All of it costs more because the people serving you are now on higher wages too, and their employers did exactly the same thing. So you got a pay rise, and everything got more expensive at the same time. Almost like it cancelled out. If they actually wanted workers to keep more money they would cut their tax. That's it. That's the whole idea. But that would mean the government collecting less. So instead they raise the minimum wage, taking a cut on the way in and benefit from the price rises on the way out through VAT, and call it a historic day for working people.

@Ed_Miliband Absolute bollocks. Youre dangerous.

From today, energy bills will fall by 7% for families across the country. We took the decision in the Budget to ask those with the broadest shoulders to pay their fair share, and today we see the result of that. Vital cost of living support delivered by this government.

@GBNEWS 🤔🤔🤔

In the UK, part of illegal migrants welcome package is free driving lessons which take place at their taxpayer funded hotels. They are offered many different benefits like gym membership, karate and judo classes as well as free driving lessons to name a few. In 2025 British taxpayers spent £4.5 billion on illegal migrant men and have already spent over £900 million in the first few months of 2026 with hundreds more migrant men arriving each day.

When they say "the UK is a services economy", it used to mean things like finance and hospitality. Now it means this.

The battery capacity to provide Britain with 2 weeks of electricity during winter would cost more than £2tn. Which is 20x the cost of building enough nuclear power stations to provide all the UK's electricity needs.

Having worked in the public sector, I can confirm it operates as a mafia. A giant holding pen for mediocre people with mediocre degrees to wear suits and create work for each other so they can steal an ever larger chunk of taxpayers' hard-earned money. Of course they spent £180 million deciding not to build a road tunnel. When I worked in public sector management consultancy, we were tasked with finding efficiencies in the IT department of a large government agency. One man we spoke to had two laptops on his desk. He said one was for forex trading and the other one was to monitor his chicken farm in Ghana. There was no shame as he told us this, no realisation that he was actually being employed to do a job that didn't involve forex trading or managing a chicken farm in Ghana. We were struck by the number of people sitting around doing nothing, even for a public sector organisation. Then we discovered that the man running the IT department also owned an IT recruitment consultancy. Every man he hired into this IT department from his recruitment consultancy put money in his own pocket. So there was a huge incentive for him to just hire as many men as possible to get as rich as possible. Never mind being prosecuted over this - I don't think he actually lost his job. And there's an incentive in the rest of the public sector to hire as many people as possible because the more people you manage, the more important you are, the bigger budget you get, and the greater your salary. (On the plus side, as a management consultant, finding efficiencies in the public sector is a piece of piss.) When you hear about public sector investment, this is money taken from the real economy and given to people to produce very little. This isn't "investment" any more than a bank "invests" in bank robbers. It's not done to make a profit. It holds the real economy back, not just in terms of the tax burden, but also in the huge numbers of workers tied up in this false, public sector Potemkin economy. Those workers should be in the real economy producing something of value. Britain could be a paradise. We could all be rich. There's no need for mass immigration. The workers we need are already here doing nothing, on benefits or in the public sector. We just need to fire everyone in the public sector and scrap all benefits.

The Government will collect £331bn in income tax this year, and spend £333bn on welfare. In other words, we now spend more on people not working than we raise from those who do. And the cost? Debt per person has risen from £11.5k in 2000 (inflation adjusted) to over £41k today.
