UK Labour Member. We won. Now let’s deliver. But taking money off vulnerable people is not the answer to the country’s problems. So let’s not do that 🫑

Gas price increase has multiplier effect. It increases transportation cost of goods. It raises electricity and natural gas prices. Adverse impact everywhere on consumers. We are left holding the bills and emptier bags every time Trump makes a move.

Farage is pitiful.

β€œI never said that”
β€œA tax cut can be not putting taxes up”
β€œI didn’t put it on the leaflets”

Oh ffs. You said it. You didn’t do it. And now you’re lying and blaming someone else. Same as you always do.

If only our media were significantly better at pointing that out.

Soon as this genius thinks he's "won enough", world can go back to trying to recover from this crisis AND the last one, caused by his previous brilliant idea: tariffs.

Meanwhile, he's at his golf club taking selfies and Congress - only body with the power to stop this - continues to enable him.

Rachel Reeves has announced that the energy price cap WON'T be raised in April. Clearly Labour have decided to protect consumers and let the energy companies eat the increased costs. πŸ™‚

Hilariously Elon Musk himself said in 2022, one of the first things he'd do when he bought it was to get rid of the bots.

Then he added billions more and even verified the bots, and even showed you he was using a racist AI called Grok (MechaHitler) to run the bots heaping endless praise on himself.

Public support for US attack on Iran down 10 points since last week. 59% oppose to 25% support. Tory supporters now evenly split. Another Keminaissance triumph.

Another day, another Tory frontbencher grandstanding and point scoring rather than showing national unity during this crisis.

Shame on James Cartlidge, especially for being tone deaf on the impact of Tory cuts to the military.

Labour are spending more on defence than we've seen for decades.

So Farage couldn’t gain access to the Chagos Islands last week.

This week he couldn’t gain access to Donald Trump.

What a load of air miles he’s clocked up for his donors.

Farage is a complete waste of space. Can’t organise his own visits let alone run a country.

I cannot believe that the Whitehouse says "It doesn't really matter " that Russia is helping Iran target US military personnel. Is there anything, ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING, that Putin can do where Donald Trump will criticise him?
He would rather see US troops die than upset his boss!😑😑

Among the urgent questions and ministerial statements in the Commons today, there are two of particular note:

Middle East β€” Economic update (Chancellor of the Exchequer)

Middle East β€” Defence update (Secretary of State for Defence)

I would estimate now that these won't start before 4pm.

Nigel Farage invests Β£215,000 in Kwasi Kwarteng’s bitcoin firm Reform UK leader strengthens ties with crypto sector with stake in former Tory chancellor’s company Stack BTC

🫠 Good to see politicians committed to public service rather than their personal bank accounts.

Farage made a big song and dance about flying to the US to lobby against our national interest. He wasn’t even given the time of day. Unpatriotic and pathetic.

What happened to the precedent of loyal opposition standing behind UK interests abroad? Farage is undermining them.

The jump in gas and heating oil prices is just the start, wait until the "transportation surcharges" start to hit on just about everything.

Oh, this one's a classic:

One shoe, two shoe,
Stop blowing up brown children with my fucking healthcare money, you murderous ghouls.

I do not like it in a dump.
I do not like it by a trump.
I do not like it over there.
I do not like it anywhere.

Yes exactly. The relationship β€œcooling” implies both sides just aren’t that into it any more.
Not true. Farage remains feverishly passionate about being Trump’s British poodle. And Trump couldn’t give a shit.

This is the week to get behind our Country. That means getting behind our PM. Whatever your preferences he is the man doing the tough job.

This is our livelihoods and lives it’s not a time for personal favourites. Our country must come together. Blitz mentality required.

True. Also, Yaxley is the new man in town. And Musk supports Lowe. I think Farage has really damaged himself over Iran.
