@JohnCrookes7 Oh piss off John I've been paying close to 50% combined tax & NI for last 3 years. How much more do you expect me to pay you cunt Go and stick your tax up your arse.

There are too many wealthy tax dodgers in the UK and it’s particularly offensive to the low paid. Loopholes need to be closed so everyone pays tax in full on UK earnings.

@FurkanGozukara Over 30 irrelevant world leaders having an irrelevant meeting. USA, Iran, China, Pakistan & Saudi & a few others from that part of the world are the ones in the real meetings.

CNN's Melissa Bell reveals the world is completely bypassing the United States. Over 30 global leaders met in Paris to secure the Strait of Hormuz, deliberately excluding Washington. The international community is actively organizing to survive Trump's disastrous war.

@AndyGoldney @AndyatAuto Yes, anything below 2L ICE has all but disappeared... Only ICE now are monstrous SUVs & Lux end... Small, ecomomic ICE (low margin for manufacturers) have been hounded out by the volume mandates... They now only make expensive, high margin SUV & Luxury ICE

@AndyatAuto Probably because all the car manufacturers have given up making low cost ICE cars due to the authoritarian mandates. Ford has decided to pull out. No more cheap cars for the masses. Let them ride bikes?

This is a very significant milestone - from Autotrader - New electric cars now cost £42,620 on average, compared with £43,405 for petrol models. plc.autotrader.co.uk/news-views/pre…

@wendlingere49 What about the the targeted attack on Olly Robbins or is he just expendable cannon fodder to be scapegoated by Starmer and his mob?

@wendlingere49 FFS, Starmer his bunch of thugs have bullied a well regarded permanent foreign office head out of his job to save their own necks and this is your response??? Maybe give your head a wobble.

I've given LBC a complete miss today,as I absolutely refuse to listen to another marathon of defenistration of Keir Starmer.I'm old & remember the political scandals of the last 50 years but NEVER have I experienced the targeted daily attack on a PM that we are witnessing now

@welshroots @Cwwebz1 27 likes for the bot. Zero for your response

@Cwwebz1 Bot

We are on the edge of a World War and Right Wing Media go after Keir Starmer incessantly with Barage of Criticism Give the Bloke a break for a couple of days Never in my lifetime have I ever seen a Primeminster treated so badly If I was him I would tell the bloody lot of us to SOD OFF

@welshroots He literally does - every day. We've all had enough of it.

@BuckCllr I considered a PHEV for sometime, but agree your points - its a shitty compromise. Range on new EVs is really stepping up now.. PHEV will be pointless soon. I'm nearly there on EV adoption now Will keep ny ICE fun wagons though...

Why do I dislike Hybrid cars so much? From an engineering point of view, they are a massive and complex compromise. They require ALL of the components of an ICE (an ICE, a fuel tank etc) AND all of the components of an EV (battery, motor etc). All that engineering comes at a huge compromise, small ICE, small motor, small battery. All that compromise comes at a cost of performance, reliability, cost and simplicity. Hybrid’s most likely to catch fire and more expensive to maintain. As for the driving experience…..! On holiday ATM. Couldn’t get an EV, so settled for this. A new car and it’s frankly terrible. More switches and buttons than a SpaceX launch, bongs and bleeps every 10 seconds for no known reason, but the worst thing is the driving experience! It’s awful!! Every time you stop, the engine stops and when you go to pull away, it feels like it’s going to skate itself apart as it starts up again. Also awful to drive. Next time, I’ll get a straightforward ICE with auto box if no EV’s!

@sydney_ev I will likely buy EV in next 12-24 mths as the range & battery tech is now becoming viable... but i go in with my eyes open of the benefits & constraints. Posting this sort of uneducated garbage you do doesnt help things

@sydney_ev My gawd? Are you really a genuine EV supporter? Or a parody account? Your post is a joke, and per the replies, anyone with an iota of electrical or engineering nous is rightly pointing out you are an idiot. How about take EVs seriously instead of posting this bullshit?

" We cant have #Evs! the Infrastructure isn't there yet!!" where is the infrastructure going? from what I see, its already everywhere.

@auntrel01 Come on.. its been due since about 3 weeks after Labour got in. Its just a joke now

Very bored of hearing ‘Starmer needs to resign’ faux outrage every week. Good man does good job.

@CitizenBomber The photo is very apt. I cant stop thinking they have appointed a kid to two of the NZ govts most critical portfolios.

Is Simeon Brown’s frenetic hot mess social media performance a glimpse of how bad National’s Election Campaign will be? Simeon Brown’s sudden promotion to National Party Campaign Chair has seen a spastic eruption of content on his Social Media feed which is, at best, a bit much. #nzpol LINK BELOW ⬇️⬇️⬇️

@PhilMyers53 🤡🤡🤡🤣🤣🤣

If Keir believed he should resign, he's the type of man who would. The truth is he has the backing of the Labour Party and every single decent person in the UK The rest of you? You can piss off!

@JanejOL @ianrich15813274 Isnt the 25th sonething to do with incapacity? Like dementia & stuff?

@toolmaakersson @ianrich15813274 You are insane! America should implement the 25th Amendment!! He’s a deranged lunatic & very dangerous as completely incompetent, incoherent, impulsive

Whatever mistakes Starmer made over the whole Mandelson business, & clearly there are some big ones, I have no doubt he was seeking to act in the UK's best interests. In that case, I don't think he should leave office over this - Trump acts in his own interests, that's different!

@JanejOL @ianrich15813274 Ok, even if all of that might be true, he's still doing what he campaigned on (which is my point)... Thats a rare thing in politics these days.... the UK long ago gave up on that principle

@JanejOL @ianrich15813274 What part of my point was incorrect though? Even if all you point out is the valid, hes still going after everything he said he campaigned on ... and at pace as well.. execution & implementation may be all over the place is true

@toolmaakersson @ianrich15813274 Are you insane??? Trump is wholly inconsistent, a compulsive liar & deeply corrupt. Self interest is his sole motivation

@W98AB Yes, its very notable.. the average UK tax burden on population is quite similar to several other nations, but you are right.. its VERY progressive, to point you start losing the top 5-10% to other nations that spread that similar total burden more widely

@ianrich15813274 Trumps been in 15 months since late Jan 2025, but just look at how much he''s pushed on the big foreign & interior policy projects - Gaza, Ukraine, Venezeula, Iran, Tariffs, Immigration.. Joe would barely be out of bed by now. Its like a 5 year term packed in to 15 months

@ianrich15813274 Trump,more than any political leader i have seen in my lifetime, comes in and starts working through the list of big ticket items he campaigned on. We may not all like how he does it, but hes constantly going after that list

@Jenny_1884 Crude futures have come off quite a bit, but immediate physical crude in Asiapac is still in short supply, so be a while yet

I’m assuming fuel prices will come down as swiftly as they went up now the strait of hormuz has re-opened 🤔
