Make the Boomers do it for their state pension. Getting out would improve their physical and mental health. Which would also save the NHS money…

@cleanupbritain Most households on UC are in work. Do these people now have to do a second job picking litter too?

The spectacle of Keir Starmer pretending to be the leader of a global coalition securing navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, when the Royal Navy does not have a single reliable destroyer in the region, is quite something.
ITV News@itvnews

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

Of course it does! Who wouldn't? It has just seen the UK needlessly hand out enough billions of dollars to literally allow an entire country to abolish income tax. The leaders in Nicosia aren't stupid: they will pursue exactly the same process. Who wouldn't? Now, because of our foolishness, egged on by a small number of human rights lawyers from Matrix Chambers, we are going to have to -- at the very least -- use diplomatic capital to put out these fires. The EU will support Cyprus, magnifying its power by many times. Gibraltar next, folks.

Our political class is insane. A war in Iran is escalating and threatening serious damage to the global economy, while the Channel migrant crisis carries on unchecked. And what are the talking heads in SW1 focused on? Kanye West. It’s absurd.
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer

Kanye West should never have been invited to headline Wireless. This government stands firmly with the Jewish community, and we will not stop in our fight to confront and defeat the poison of antisemitism. We will always take the action necessary to protect the public and uphold our values.

Energy isn't the only thing we should worry about when thinking about the war in Iran. We import 3/4 of our medicine, and NHS medicine shipments also have to navigate through the Strait of Hormuz... New piece from me in the @Telegraph👇

Sam’s right and the American YIMBY assault is wrong. If we want to quintuple the size of Cambridge a design code people actually like will be key to liftoff. This miserable-look holds us back.

We could use this money to defend our country and secure our future prosperity by increasing defence spending, investing in R&D, or developing a space programme. Instead we waste it on bungs for boomers. Time to abolish the Triple Lock.

Ironically this Labour government banned advertising for chocolate and Pringles, but MPs can still create their own videos promoting them. Lucky PepsiCo!
stellacreasy@stellacreasy

As another birthday rolls round, I become ever more grateful to be able to get older with the people I love and for time with my friends and family. And if this video triggers the GB News crowd, wait till they see me make this Pringle roll and add orange marmalade …
