Blaming asylum seekers for homelessness? What about the 720,000 empty homes in England, and the 1,627,450 second homes in England alone. Blaming asylum seekers for expensive food shops? What about the £3,100,000,000 profit Tesco made last year? Blaming asylum seekers for expensive energy bills? What about the £438,000,000,000 made by just 20 energy companies in profit? Blaming immigrants for not getting an NHS appointment? What about the 260,000+ migrant workers keeping the NHS going? And what about the 25% real term cut in NHS funding, think that could do it? Blaming people on welfare for a lack of money to fund the NHS? What about the £36,000,000,000 tax gap due to avoidance and evasion by the elite? It's time to realise it's not immigrants, asylum seekers or people on welfare causing you any harm, it's capitalism and the mega rich hoarding all the wealth.

@HillF1 @klaasm67 Waiting expectantly for your podcast with your views on the new season so far .

@klaasm67 Don't agree Saw some great brave racing today.

In Formula One, overtaking used to take big balls. Today it just takes a full battery. #F1

@elonmusk Do us a favour and stick to making ugly cars

This is the only way to save Britain. There is no other.

@McLarenF1 Where’s Zak?

@jeremycwhittle I think your wrong . As a sports commentator you have a responsibility to acquaint yourself with the facts of the matter before you comment .

@windandwaves I don’t agree with you, if that’s ok. I think athlete welfare was ignored (or at least sidelined and forgotten) in pursuit of ‘glory.’

Glad she’s recovering. However… What does it say about athlete welfare and those around her, that it was worth risking this level of catastrophic injury, just to compete?

@jeremycwhittle She wasn’t “flirting with amputation” before the Olympic , her injury pre Olympics was an acl tear, hardly life changing and not the cause of her serious accident during the Olympic downhill.

@windandwaves Tends to increase the risk if you’re flirting with amputation though. So you think ‘the hell with it, just be heroic’?

@jeremycwhittle If you had you’d realise every competitor risks “catastrophic” injury every time they race .

@windandwaves No.

California's Central Valley produces 80% of the world's almonds. Each almond requires 3.2 gallons of actual irrigation water to grow. Not rainfall. Actual tap water pumped from aquifers. One gallon of almond milk requires 162 gallons of irrigation water. Compare that to dairy milk at 8 gallons of tap water per gallon, with the rest being rainfall that falls on pasture anyway. But here's where it gets properly grim. Almonds bloom for exactly three weeks in February. During those three weeks, California needs every pollinating bee in North America transported to the Central Valley or the crop fails entirely. Commercial beekeepers truck in 31 billion honeybees. That's two-thirds of America's entire managed bee population, all concentrated in one valley for three weeks. The bees are packed into trucks, driven across the country, dumped into almond groves drenched in pesticides, worked to exhaustion, then packed up and shipped to the next crop. The mortality rate is catastrophic. Beekeepers report losing 30 to 50% of their hives annually. That's billions of bees dead. Not from natural causes. From being used as disposable pollination machines for your almond milk. The pesticides don't help. Almond groves are sprayed with neonicotinoids which scramble bee navigation systems, fungicides which weaken their immune systems, and herbicides which eliminate the wildflowers they'd normally forage on between almond blooms. Meanwhile the aquifer depletion is permanent. The Central Valley has sunk 28 feet in some areas from groundwater extraction. That water took 10,000 years to accumulate. It's being drained in decades for almond milk. Your vegan latte killed more bees and used more water than a year's worth of dairy milk. But it's got "plant-based" on the label so you're definitely saving the planet.

@masaccio60 @Absolutemtb1 It’s not the bike that matters , it’s the mountain .

@Absolutemtb1 I’m right beside you on this hill.

I’ve watched a few bike packing videos lately. In some of them they’ve been up in some proper mountains. Why do they still insist a gravel bike is the right bike? I’ll die on this hill, I think that a hardtail MTB would be a much better choice!

@campbellclaret % of losses of life vs troops deployed , UK & Canada 2 x more likely to die in combat during the Afghan war than US troops .

If it wasn’t for us Trump would be speaking Apache. His comments on NATO troops holding back from the front line, given his draft dodging and his general contempt for all but himself, is disgusting even by his standards. It really is time for George W Bush to say something about how countries like ours, and so many others, came to US rescue

@nadhimzahawi @reformparty_uk @Nigel_Farage Tosser!

Today I became the newest member of @reformparty_uk, because Britain is broken & @Nigel_Farage is the only person who is capable of building the team to fix it. Watch below to see more. I know in your hearts many of you agree with me, so join us here: reformparty.uk/join_member.

@jeremycwhittle One day you’ll write a positive story about British sport

Yet again, sacrificing booze-fuelled nights out seems to be a huge thing for British teams. Plenty of elite athletes in endurance sports manage it for weeks on end. Isn’t it reasonable to expect sacrifice as a key element of being a highly-rewarded professional??

@kwharrison13 What a tosser

Anyone surprised that Jeff Bezos’ New Years Eve party looks like a janky crypto influencer’s Miami weekend must have forgotten when William Shatner tried to have a human moment with him about his experience in space and Bezos went to shake a bottle of champagne instead…

@escapefrommelos Tacky

Jeff Bezos being led around by the **** to a “boozy brunch” with his “wife” its always startling to see stuff like this, the indignity and pettiness of it

@DaleVince There is a significant tax on flying . You are incorrect .

Drivers of Electric cars taxed for not burning fossil fuels - people flying pay no tax for burning the most per passenger mile - our approach to tax lacks consistency or logic.

@100Climbs @thepuncheur TNT coverage could be worse (only just tho) , at least we don’t have to put up with Carlton Kirby .

@thepuncheur Took me a while but banged to synch TMS on my phone with TNT pictures.

First day of the Ashes review. Muted TNT’s hundred style coverage within 10 minutes. Fell asleep listening to TMS. Woke up to see England in trouble and then fighting back. Typical day at the Ashes. Really missed the midnight start at the Gabba though. Traditions.

@felixwhite It’s the hope that kills you

What have I woken up to

@SkyCricket Bring back the Sky team , TNT amateur by comparison

We want to hear YOUR VIEWS after England were beaten inside two days in the opening Ashes Test in Perth 💭👇
