We're doomed
Hilarious Andy Burnham vox pop on ITV News. “It would be great if he could do something for working people. Like an increase in pensions”.
This is similar to Sunak’s Tobacco and Vapes Bill during his final months. A PM that knows the clock is ticking, so rushes through poorly thought-out policy to create a “legacy” - all at the expense of individual freedoms.
🚨 NEW: The UK social media ban for under-16s will be enforced through facial recognition, digital IDs, credit cards, open banking, passports, mobile provider checks or email age estimation
It is literally insane simultaneously to think that 16 and 17 year olds are mature enough to vote but not mature enough to look at Instagram at 8:30pm. This is comically absurd.
🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer will introduce nightly social media curfews for 16 and 17-year-olds as part of the Government's social media ban [@thetimes]
Wanting to compensate the WASPIs is disqualifying for sentience, let alone No 10
NEW: Andy Burnham has hinted at a new multibillion-pound spending commitment if he becomes PM, saying that more than 3.5mn women “deserve” compensation over what he regards as a pension scandal Earlier I attended a Makerfield hustings event hosted by @MENnewsdesk, in which
It’s your 17th birthday. You’re finally out of your state mandated car booster seat and pass your driving test albeit it is going to be another 2,930 days until a friend can accompany you anywhere. You enjoyed voting last year and are now off to the shops to get hyped up on your first ever legal can of MONSTER. It is still 365 days until can buy scissors, ask Claude a question or send your first tweet.
Over the past few weeks, the Bacta Charitable Trust is proud to have partnered with MPs across the UK to support some outstanding local charities that are making a real difference in their communities.
Labour's Welfare Secretary admitted to Peter Mandelson what he won’t tell you. Labour raised your taxes to pay for more benefits.
Much of left wing politics requires you not to understand how it would work in practice so you can maintain support in principle. If you understood how it worked you'd have to abandon the idea.
Three cheers for that audience member. And deft moderation by @StephenJardine. “So wait a minute… we pay the supermarkets to lower their prices… is that what you’re suggesting?” An unusually entertaining and illuminating 90 seconds from last week’s #bbcdn
Ten years that will live forever. Thank you for everything, Pep 🩵
@the_olliedean @ConHome @reporterboy @anguswyatt Congratulations Ollie, incredibly well deserved! 🥳
Rent controls are indeed common in Europe.
Labour are refusing to bring in rent controls which are common across Europe. End the affordability crisis. Introduce rent controls. Vote Green on 7th May 💚
Great to work with @patrick_hurley to deliver a £2,000 donation from the Bacta Charitable Trust to @kingsgardenssp Friends of King’s Gardens Southport do vital work in the community - we're very proud to support their continued efforts. 👇
Anyone with a pulse should brace themselves. I am no fan of Starmer but he is the last man between Britain and full-fat socialism (Burnham, Rayner). They will raise borrowing and taxes and we’ll get to a depression quicker than you can say Laffer Curve.
Banks brace for tax raid if Starmer is ousted ft.trib.al/E3npDPO
🎠"Amusement arcades are at the heart of the Great British seaside." Bacta members spoke to @BBCRadioKent about the value of seaside arcades to local communities, alongside the pressures they face from rising costs and declining footfall. 👇
Our members spoke with @BBCNews about the pressures facing seaside arcades. Despite generating £804m and supporting 14,000 jobs, the sector has seen a 25% real-terms decline since 2015, with rising costs and outdated regulations squeezing margins. 👇 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
@yarwoodwilliam @the_tpa Congratulations Will! 🥳
@CentristDad5 @AaronBastani If you’ve ever used the DLR you’d realise that the doors are pretty much the only thing that the TfL staff on them control.
At a @CommonsForeign session in November 2025, I directly asked Sir Oliver Robbins whether the FCDO had a different view of who should be recommended for the posting of US Ambassador. His response? "It was clear that the Prime Minister wanted to make this appointment himself."
The NHS isn't free - it's paid for by taxpayers. Meanwhile, countries like France and the Netherlands use social insurance models, spend comparable amounts and outperform the UK on many health outcomes. This should be about results, not dogma.
Nigel Farage's plan to move to an insurance-based healthcare system would leave you to pick up the bill.
Our @the_tpa Town Hall Rich List 2026 - the 20th edition of this research - reveals a record 4,733 council employees received over £100,000 last year, including 320 who were paid more than the Prime Minister. 🧵
