On Truss & Kwarteng in ‘22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: “a genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism".
These men will now be paid actual money for their analysis of today’s budget.

The PM being asked in an interview about scandals in Reform & Farage's (lack of) response.

"He hasn't got the spin to call it out" - criticism of Farage for the failure to call out racism within Reform & the failure to explore the links between Russia & Reform.

Why won't Farage clean up his party?

Hadn't heard much about this - only the crypto side, not the organised crime at street level.
I'm pretty sure Brexit helps smugglers get drugs into the country too!

This video blew my mind! At first I didn't agree with his premise but after watching experiments it did seem to be largely true - an aeroplane's weight is felt by the ground.
What really gets me is that the weight is transmitted effectively by sound!

I didn't think there was such a thing as an SMR yet. I know they are in development but I know nothing about who is doing this. Perhaps their SMRs are not as small as I think.
North Wales to pioneer UK’s first small modular reactors

Anglesey set for thousands of new jobs as PM confirms Wylfa will host UK's first small modular nuclear reactors.

This is excellent news and, if we are serious about reaching net zero and tackling climate change, an absolutely essential step.

Just absolutely classic BBC. You've just broadcast the most successful programme of the year, uniting Gen Z kids online and Boomers on broadcast in a return to appointment television. And instead of celebrating, your DG reigns due to a made-up right-wing scandal.

Currently enjoying the Witcher season 4 but I've noticed that all these 'old' books and manuscripts they are writing are actually brand new because they are currently writing them and yet they look 300 years old.

Seems a total slam dunk that owners of private jets should pay fuel duties. Doesn't it?

The answer is annoying.

Thread:
Private jets don't pay fuel tax. Now I don't either.
You pay fuel duty. Why don’t billionaires? This week, we launched WeWingAnyCar.com to help you qualify for the same tax breaks that private jets get. Because tax loopholes shouldn’t just be for…

only in the small print of this article do they make clear that the pensioners paying an extra £2,500 of tax would have to have
“earnings over £125,140”

I know many pensioners are asset rich but how many have income at that level?

I saw an advert on Facebook for "Sublimation set-up".
After googling I get "You'll need a sublimation printer, paper and ink, heat-resistant gloves and tape, and a sublimation oven or heat press. And, you'll need sublimation blanks that you'll transfer your designs to."

If you want to find out what the Labour Government in the UK are ACTUALLY doing, then you need to be following them on social media.

My lists are updated (but still not complete).

They cover Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Youtube and I'm even starting with Tiktok!

No - the school classrooms were NOT used to teach “adult migrants”

Your own article explains this TWICE - and yet your headline…?🙄

I covered this yesterday in a thread when it was just RW accounts lying on Twitter

Now the DM are on it, let’s go again!
