@pkligerman "Driver is out of the car..."
My man, I think that happened five seconds earlier.

Reform would make an emergency cut in VAT at the pumps + scrap Reeves’s fuel duty hike.
Together that’d save you 18p and 20p a litre on petrol and diesel.
Labour are doing nothing…

@BenGrahamUK Output: Generally around 2-3 million tonnes per year, though estimates vary (some sources suggest over 5M tonnes in 2024)The UK salt extraction industry is a foundational sector for British manufacturing, with a market size projected to reach approximately £294.5 million in 2026.
English

The UK produces around 5–6 million tonnes of salt per year, supporting industries worth tens of billions, from chemicals and water treatment to food processing and pharmaceuticals.
The UK chemicals sector alone contributes £30 billion+ to the economy, and salt is a foundational feedstock for it.
It’s also used in 90% of medicines, underpins winter road safety, and supports thousands of skilled jobs across the North West and Yorkshire.
If domestic production collapses, we don’t just import salt.
We export jobs, supply chain security, and industrial capability.
Ed Miliband isn’t protecting the economy, he’s dismantling it, piece by piece

If you study the rise and fall of empires the two most important things are ships and salt. Now the UK barely has either.

@NBC789 so companies employ teenagers on f all and then young adults are unemployed?
English

My Saturday job when I was a teenager paid minimum wage, ~£3.50/hr. If that had risen in line with inflation it would be ~£5.60 today.
Minimum wage for teenagers is £8/hr from next week. Cash-strapped businesses can’t take many on for that cost!

@trevm_again @EndMassMigrate @BBCNews They will pay each worker ~£12 per hour. If Charlotte works less shifts she gets less money but she's not 'cheaper' for the company than Muhammed who works more shifts.

@trevm_again @EndMassMigrate @BBCNews No she's the same price per hour as Muhammed. And when Muhammed does the work of Charlotte and Daniel then you don't even need the hassle of hiring those two in the first place. Yes the cast is expanding now.

@AlanJenkins2 @KathrynPorter26 @calculus52 @lewis_goodall @Keir_Starmer Tories were tax and don't spend
English

@trevm_again @KathrynPorter26 @calculus52 @lewis_goodall @Keir_Starmer It really doesn't matter whether Starmer himself is Socialist,because Labour's policy is basically tax-and-spend. Rachel Reeves actually tries to be responsible,but her backbenchers won't let her make welfare cuts. Inheriting a high tax burden is no excuse for increasing it !
English

Hopefully @lewis_goodall and his disgraceful hit job on our PM will have the opposite effect to what he intended.
I have never seen so many people come out in support of @Keir_Starmer .
We are not all reform supporters Lewis, SKS is there because we voted for him
English

@trevm_again @EndMassMigrate @BBCNews When Muhammed says 'I can work whenever you need me boss' and Charlotte says 'I can only work on these days because of Uni', Muhammed gets the job every time. This is how it is now, if you've worked in corner shops etc in the age of mass migration then you know.

@ScipioAlpha @EndMassMigrate @BBCNews employers in these industries prefer zero hours contracts which are ideal for students but not for full time workers
English

@trevm_again @EndMassMigrate @BBCNews These immigrants work these jobs full/overtime. Young people who want to work part time to accommodate studies do not stand a chance by comparison.
English

@AlanJenkins2 @KathrynPorter26 @calculus52 @lewis_goodall @Keir_Starmer Keir Starmer isn't socialist. I don't understand this shit that is pumped out. Plus the Tories had the highest tax burden for 70 years and at the same time screwed public services into the ground. Which is what we are paying for now
English

@trevm_again @KathrynPorter26 @calculus52 @lewis_goodall @Keir_Starmer Labour are crushing our economy with taxes. I suspect that by the next election,they won't be a factor.How the other parties will stack up then,I don't know.Hopefully,people will have become sufficiently disenchanted with Socialism not to vote Green.

@LoftusSteve 7. About a year ago Steve said Thames Water wasn't in trouble.
English

Let me explain all the ways this is garbage.
1. From licensing to production take 10-15 years. The article says 2010-2024, but only a fraction of them are active.
2. Uplift, the people behind it, are a anti fossil fuel campaign group.
3. The article says "only 6 months". Six months of UK gas is an enormous amount of gas. About 40 billion cubic metres.
4. The vast majority of the fields are predominantly oil, with gas as a by product. The article ignore the oil production completely.
5. While the fields may not lower bills it brings in valuable tax revenue, creates jobs and helps considerably with the balance of payments.
6. It's The Guardian.
Caroline Lucas@CarolineLucas
Hundreds of licences granted for new North Sea oil & gas projects under the Tories have so far produced just 36 days’ worth of gas. Yet more evidence that a crisis caused by fossil fuel dependence can’t be solved by drilling for more fossil fuels in N Sea theguardian.com/business/2026/…

@AlanJenkins2 @KathrynPorter26 @calculus52 @lewis_goodall @Keir_Starmer the numerical result was a landslide. as I said Blair was a popular landslide and he only scraped just over 30%. Labour will get trounced in the local elections no doubt but it will interesting to see how people feel in a GE. I think it could end up a 'proper' hung parliament
English

@trevm_again @KathrynPorter26 @calculus52 @lewis_goodall @Keir_Starmer If you can call a 21% victory a landslide.If it was a landslide,I'd term it a default landslide.
