@beverleyturner @POTUS Ridiculous conspiracy theory you are hinting at here, Bev.
The trial will take many days. Possibly weeks. The date was set many months ago.
The first day is never very interesting.
There will be plenty of opportunity for you to report on it, long after Chas has left the US.

The trial of the Ukrainian men (bizarrely) accused of setting fire to Keir Starmer's property is the same day as the much-anticipated King's State Visit to see @POTUS
The eyes of the world will be fixed on the usa. 👀

And after they shot her (fired from inside the embassy) we let them walk out and board an aircraft out of the country.
Shameful.
RIP Yvonne.

Remembering WPC Yvonne Fletcher aged 25, shot and killed 42 years ago on April 17th, 1984, whilst policing a protest outside the Libyan Embassy, St James's Square, London. Lest we Forget this brave young lady killed in the line of duty 🇬🇧

@Doorespect @CutMyTaxUK Exactly - the wealthy are famously far less able to move themselves and their wealth around the World than the poor. Mostly because other countries just will not welcome them, they simply don’t want their wealth and their businesses. They truly are always stuck. 😉

The Green’s new salary control policy would cause an immediate tax loss of more than £50bn.
Using the Green Party’s policy pairing of a 10:1 pay ratio with a £15/hour minimum wage, the implied annual income cap is about £292,500. This would affect the top 0.36% of income taxpayers, who account for 19% of total income tax & 8.5% of total salary.
Roughly two-thirds of that group’s pay is above the implied cap, meaning that the tax that would be lost is about £52bn a year, made up of roughly £41bn income tax, £1.3bn employee NI, & £9.9bn employer NI.
Of course the real loss would be much larger, as significant chunks of economic activity moved out of the UK and necessary skills would not be able to be found.

Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek)@magyarpeterMP
I have arrived at the Sándor Palace to meet the President of Hungary. @DrTamasSulyok is unworthy of representing the unity of the Hungarian nation. He is unfit to serve as the guardian of legality. He is not fit to serve as a moral authority or a role model. Following the formation of the new government, Tamás Sulyok must leave office immediately.

Labour have crashed the economy... in only 22 months... quite a feat, even for them.

This is the reason why we can never reform healthcare in the UK — or even have a sensible debate about it.
The moment anyone suggests alternative/additional ways of funding health Labour rushes out privatisation smears and claims US private health insurance is being proposed.
Labour has been doing it for decades. It explains why the NHS is effectively beyond reform.
The two worst health systems in the rich world are in America and the UK. It’s why nobody has ever copied them. It would be mad to go from ours to theirs (or vice versa).
But Europe is awash with health systems that can call on several sources of funds, including many with compulsory public health insurance schemes. They have better health outcomes than the NHS. They are free at the point of use (like the NHS). Most of them are better funded.
But Labour puts them out of bounds, refuses even to discuss or consider. So patient care suffers. NHS struggles on.
Labour is always telling us we need to get closer to Europe. It’s where we belong. But not when it comes to health, where it insists no lessons can be learned. Pretty pathetic, really.

Nigel Farage's plan to move to an insurance-based healthcare system would leave you to pick up the bill.

@PFr1end @AllisonPearson Our corporation tax contributions for 2024-25 ⬇️ 50%; my self assessment tax contribution 2025-26 ⬇️ 16.6%. Laffer in full flow.

@AllisonPearson Rachel Reeves proving the Laffer Curve is just a relevant as ever
Ed Miliband proving a nation needs to produce coal, gas, oil, food, fertilizer, chemicals, CO2, manufactured goods
Keir Starmer proving he,s totally useless

Shameless Rachel Reeves hiding her hideous incompetence behind the Iran war.
She is the worst Chancellor of modern times.
UK is the G7’s weakling because Labour don’t have a clue how to run an economy.

This insane amount could triple the size of the Royal Navy.
Yet, Starmer is trying to run down our navy and squander this money/territory.
There's a word for this.

For the first time ever, the true cost of the Chagos Islands Deal is now in legal writing UK taxpayers would pay at least £50bn to give away the Chagos Islands and rent back our own territory of Diego Garcia Not Starmer's £3bn Not £36bn Not £46bn But £50bn+ Let that sink in

Hi @BellRibeiroAddy
I’m one of your constituents. Sorry to disturb.
In the last 24 hours you’ve posted about Endometriosis, twice, transgender rights and the ‘far- right’, obviously.
Would you mind letting me know your thoughts/ actions on the feral youths completely running riot where we live?
Thanks so much.

A second night of mayhem in Clapham. These are not angry young people making a political statement. They are thugs, pure and simple. There should be mass arrests.
