A sensible and embarrassing U-turn by reform. No doubt Chris Mason will be all over it on BBC News tonight.
Robert Jenrick@RobertJenrick

The Iranian regime is wicked, but this war needs to come to an end as soon as possible because it is making Britain poorer. Reform are a party for working people, not drawn-out wars in faraway places. The liberal interventionists of the early 21st century failed our own people, leaving them poorer and more exposed to mass migration, not to mention the brave British men whose lives were lost. The British people have had enough of them. It’s time to be realists and put Britain first. That’s why Nigel Farage immediately ruled out suggestions that the UK might deploy boots on the ground. Nor do we see why British aircraft should become involved in offensive action. In just a matter of days, people are feeling the side effects of this conflict. The cost of filling up your car or van has already risen sharply. Those who rely on heating oil to heat their homes are feeling the pinch. And very soon household prices will rise more sharply. The fact is that the longer this war continues, the more damage it will cause to British families, businesses and manufacturers. We must channel Palmerston and ruthlessly pursue our national self-interest. That means being steadfast in our defence of our people and bases in the region. But it also means being clear that a prolonged conflict in the Middle East will see prices spiral here and hurt everyone in their pocket. The only war the Government should be waging is on the malign Iranian influence here on our own soil. The radical Imams Tehran funds. The extremism they promote. The agents they send on small boats. The IRGC needs to be proscribed, the funding cut off, and our porous borders sealed shut. Illegal migrants from Iran must be removed. If those egging on British military involvement in Iran were as eager to secure our border we would be a much safer country. And as everything becomes more expensive, Starmer should be making life easier for people. I warned the Chancellor on Tuesday that a rise in fuel duty at a time when prices are already rising by 20 per cent was a terrible idea, yet she has doubled down. So too has Ed Miliband, who refuses to grant new oil and gas licenses against all logic. At a time when our country is broken and in need of serious repair, we do not need distractions. Our sole interest must always be in making the British people safer and more prosperous. There is no time to waste.

@HasanHussain777 Thanks for telling me her role, I genuinely didn't know. I'm even more baffled now though given how little she understood about, frankly, anything.

Bushey Conservatives are pretending to be the green party now. At least they're not hiding their lack of honesty and integrity. And Seamus Quilty wants me to get in touch, perhaps if he'd bothered to reply when I tried before I might.

@ROBANDTHEMOB @JamesMelville Actually beer *is* about the location - it's 90% water, change the water and you change the drink. Big brewers buy up smaller ones, move production and use additives to try to make the water and the drink taste the same

@JamesMelville TBF why should they keep a virtual craft brewery.running at a loss, when they have so much capacity at their other, more modern UK sites ?🤔 The secret’s in the recipe and ingredients, not in the manufacturing location. 😉It’s not like it’s a fine wine or superior spirit ! 😳

Sad news: The Cornish brewery that makes Doom Bar ale is to be closed by its US owner. The drinks company Molson Coors said it plans to shut Sharp’s Brewery in Rock, Cornwall, saying it was “no longer financially sustainable”.

@strong231977 @ClownWorld I thought that first. he actually just picks it up and turns it over to look at, then puts it down again. The timer starts when he picks it up the second time.

Have you ridden, or even heard of “Crush's Coaster”? It’s an inexplicably popular “wild mouse” coaster in the dreadful Disney Studios Paris park. The park is changing, but this ride will remain untouched. Will it still get multi-hour waits for what is basically a carnival ride?

It's amazing how many accounts based in Nigeria have accidentally bought too many Harry Styles Wembley tickets and need to sell for face value. Be careful out there people.

@angus_hugo @jon_trickett @UKLabour Why? Labour were clear in their manifesto and in briefings at the time they were not planning to 'compensate' if you can call it that. Same with the Tories, neither said they pay and rightly so.

I've just spoken in the House of Commons to put on record that I think the government has got it badly wrong on the WASPI issue. If they think their announcement puts the issue to bed they are mistaken. The fight goes on.

@MaggieM88936496 None, hopefully given labour didn't. It was only the lib Dems that said they would. 2024 manifestos are available online if any of them would like to have a read. Their case is entirely without merit.

Tokyo Disney is spending hundreds of millions on the new Tomorrowland attractions and they all open up in 2027! Meanwhile in Anaheim, they still have a construction fence up with a fading piece of concept art.

@OctopusEnergy I understand that Tracker prices track wholesale prices, my question is why people signing up to tracker now pay so much more than people who signed up last year. They both track the same wholesale price so should be the same. Unless you've increased your margin?

Octopus Energy@OctopusEnergy·
Hey there 👋 The wholesale prices have increased since last year, so the rates used in our formula have changed to reflect this. We review our Tracker formula regularly to keep prices fair for our customers. You can find more on this here: #whatistracker" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">octopus.energy/blog/is-octopu… or pop me a DM with any questions. 🐙 t.co/mdLjkMMxIf

@OctopusEnergy I've just renewed Octopus Tracker (SEP 25) and you've increased my electricity price by 10% compared to my old contract (Dec 24). despite tracking the same wholesale price. Am I wrong to be feeling ripped off?
