@HouseofCommons And still @Keir_Starmer didn’t answer the questions! Maybe it’s time to bin the charade

Diesel is nudging towards 173p a litre. Filling up a family car now costs the best part of ninety pounds. UK energy costs are four times higher than in the United States.
Factories are shutting. Investment is leaving. Jobs are disappearing. And the Ministers responsible for our energy security want to ban new diesel vehicles by 2035. No credible plan. Just a deadline and an ideology.
In terms of logistics, the RHA surveyed over 500 firms last year. Seven in ten HGV operators have no plans to add zero emission vehicles to their fleets. The costs are enormous and the EV charging infrastructure does not exist. These are not fringe voices. These are the people who move Britain’s food, medicine and materials every day. Ask manufacturers, farmers, construction firms too. Battery electric technology, at the scale this government is mandating, is simply not ready. No subsidy changes that. What subsidies do is funnel taxpayer money into a market that cannot function and pretend that counts as governing.
Reeves, Red Ed and Labour shut down our own energy, they’ve blocked North Sea drilling, and forced reliance on expensive foreign imports. They then act surprised when bills explode. This is not climate policy, it’s national economic self-harm.
Other nations back their own energy, keep costs competitive and get on with it. Britain punishes its own industries and imports from the very countries it lectures on carbon, and leaves its own rich reserves untouched.
That is not leadership. It is ideology. In times like these, every UK family is paying the price.

Should opposition MP’s refuse to attend PMQ’s until the PM is forced to answer questions?

The moment you finally realise you’re leading the most authoritarian government in our country’s history:
1️⃣ Introducing an official definition of “anti-Muslim hostility” that silences legitimate criticism of religion — 18 years after Parliament abolished such laws.
2️⃣ Removing the right of most defendants to have a jury trial, in the biggest assault on English liberty in over 800 years.
3️⃣ Requiring pub landlords to monitor customers’ private conversations to protect staff from remarks, comments, or jokes they may find “offensive”.
4️⃣ Clamping down on lawful social media posts, arresting an Irish comedian for gender-critical tweets and even threatening to ban access to X in the UK.
It’s not a great look, is it, Prime Minister…

@DPJHodges But @Keir_Starmer turns it into a farce every week when he refuses to answer a question! More MPs should walk out
English
I’m not sure you can accuse the Prime Minister of a “disgraceful performance” at PMQs when you just flounced out of it.
Sarah Pochin MP@SarahForRuncorn
Yet another disgraceful performance from the Prime Minister today at PMQs. Why won’t you answer the question, @Keir_Starmer?
English
@Keir_Starmer They only believed that you should have said yes to their initial request to use the bases, which they are now! Also we have been attacked in Cyprus & Diego Garcia, so we are fully justified to retaliate!
English
Moments like this tells you about leadership.
The Tories and Reform would have rushed us into the conflict in the Middle East without thinking through the consequences it would have for British people.
My Labour government will always make decisions in the national interest.
English
@BenObeseJecty What’s the point of being there when @Keir_Starmer never answers a question🤷 just reads off his pre prepared script to every question! Maybe the @Conservatives should do the same
English
Absolutely pathetic from Reform UK MPs as they stage a mass (well, eight) walkout of #PMQs.
Obviously pre-rehearsed but very much reflective of their thin-skinned demeanour in Westminster.
Rare to see them in the chamber at all to be fair.
English
@MarieTidball @Nigel_Farage @reformparty_uk I think like the rest of us, they see no point in #pmqs when @Keir_Starmer never answers a question! Makes the whole thing a farce
English
I’m absolutely livid.
@Nigel_Farage and his @reformparty_uk MPs just walked out during my question to the PM about keeping snooker in Sheffield and getting a tram-train extension to Stocksbridge.
Farage and Reform don’t care about constituencies or communities like mine.
English
@lukejcr @Keir_Starmer promised no rises, not one penny! His exact words! Mine has just gone up 4.99%
English
A year ago Reform promised to lower council tax, full stop.
Now it’s just “lower rises.”
Clear as daylight. Say one thing, deliver another.
BBC Yorkshire@BBCLookNorth
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has promised lower council tax rises for voters. He spoke to BBC Yorkshire at a pub in Wakefield ahead of the party's rally at the First Direct Arena in Leeds.

We really need a local station back that has brewers focus throughout the week
Not knocking BBC RD because they give us a platform through 1116 but we’re just an addition; not a focus

@zarahsultana Surely if you are inclusive, diverse and welcoming, that’s means everyone of all persuasions are welcome at @IpswichTown 🤷I know you are a low bar MP but, even you must see the contradiction of your tweet?? Ps by-election now
English
Ipswich Town proudly backs "Together Against Racism" and calls itself "inclusive, diverse and welcoming."
Then it rolls out the red carpet and lets Nigel Farage turn Portman Road into a political photo op.
Pathetic.
Ipswich Town@IpswichTown
Following Monday’s visit by the Reform party and its leader, Nigel Farage, the club would like to issue the following statement: Ipswich Town Football Club has, over several years, hosted representatives from a range of political parties. The club remains apolitical and does not support or endorse any individual or party. The club will continue to engage with representatives from across the political spectrum as part of its role within the community. Ipswich Town is proud to be an inclusive, diverse, and welcoming organisation that supports all members of the local and wider community. This commitment remains unchanged.

@Ed_Miliband @Keir_Starmer get your arses in gear and listen to the people and not the crackpots
Stuey Beef 🇬🇧🏴@stuey_beef
Our MPs have just voted against new North Sea drilling at Rosebank and Jackdaw – in the middle of a gas supply crisis triggered by war with Iran. Unions are begging Miliband to approve new North Sea projects, but Labour MPs still march in line with his green dogma while household bills head back towards £1,800 a year. Turning our backs on domestic gas that could heat millions of homes isn’t “transition”, it’s economic suicide. They would rather import up to 80% of our gas by 2030 and ship in foreign LNG at wartime prices than back British jobs and British energy security. This isn’t a strategy – it’s Milliband’s lunacy. And Labour MPs just voted for it.

@AnnelieseDodds No, it’s divided the nation! It’s back door blasphemy laws are an affront to many of the “silent majority” and thanks to the @toadmeister fighting it

The PM makes it clear: whatever your faith, this Labour Government stands for unity.

Coventry City owner Doug King has confirmed in a recent BBC interview that the club will fully honor the special Premier League package purchased by fans back in 2023.
That package locked in frozen ticket prices for five years and included a key promise: if the Sky Blues achieved promotion to the Premier League within those five seasons, buyers would receive a free season ticket for the club's first year in the top flight.
With Coventry now on the brink of promotion, the club has officially confirmed that eligible fans from the 2023 package will indeed get their free Premier League season tickets next season.
With the price of away tickets capped at £30, that means they’ll technically be able to see every single game next season, home and away, for just £570. 😍
What a brilliant gesture to reward the 5,000 loyal supporters who backed the club early! 👏

@labourpress Sooner have @DrChrisParry in my corner than any of you clowns!

Nigel Farage should have booted Chris Parry out of his party months ago.
Here's a reminder about just some of the times he refused to 👇 (1/9)

What is happening to this bloody country!!! My daughter has been informed by school that her TWELVE year old daughter (my granddaughter) has been found on a 'stab list'. So the son of recent African immigrants, who has only been here maybe a year and has been caught at least twice with a knife at school, has now created a list of girls he intends to stab for shunning his advances. He is STILL in school. This madness has to end. Either the establishment are on the side of good people or good people will take things into their own hands. She's 12yo for gods sake and has to now walk around school with the threat of being stabbed at any moment.

Unions demand Miliband approve new North Sea oil and gas drilling amid Iran price spike - but green minister insists wind and solar is 'homegrown power we can rely on'. He is an idiot who will send us into the dark ages. mol.im/a/15673943 via dailym.ai/android

The puzzzle is...
Why on earth did they decide to come here, when there are 60 Muslim countries where their beliefs would fit in perfectly
Oh ! Possibly the easy money ?

🚨BREAKING: A new poll finds 48% of Muslims living in Britain feel they don’t belong in the UK. Many claim that the rise of “Islamophobia” is making them consider leaving Britain imminently. What do you think of this? [Source: muslimcensus]
