Labour MP in no realising that hammering businesses with more tax means some go bust shocker! This is entirely down to you and your financial illiterate government.

I am concerned that US investment firm Gordon Brothers is seeking to breakup Poundland, putting 12,000 jobs at risk. Including the jobs at the Glasgow Fort shop in Easterhouse.
The Prime Minister has said that the government stands ready to support the workforce. I have written to the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade @jreynoldsMP to express my concerns about the future of Poundland and to ask that @UsdawUnion are involved in discussions 📨👇
You really need to learn your history.
Britain kidnapped millions of Africans. Trafficked them to forced labour & death camps. Enslaved them intergenerationally for centuries. And got very rich.
"We led the world in abolishing slavery"-PM
Haiti did. But Britain can lead enslaver nations in repairing the damage done.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The claim that Britain “kidnapped” millions of Africans misrepresents how the transatlantic slave trade worked.
European powers like Britain primarily purchased slaves from pre-existing slaver kingdoms such as Dahomey who were willingly involved in the trade.

A racist phrase by the war criminal Campbell here. Imagine the outcry if someone on the right had used this?
I have heard it from far better people than you and they were wrong too. What I enjoyed was seeing you running away from an argument about Brexit because you would rather talk about anything else. And I loved the smile being wiped from your face when the young woman tore apart your net zero BS. You’ve not nice suits and nice shoes but you’ve got
more chance captaining the Sri Lankan cricket team than you have of becoming Home Secretary.
Another clueless Labour MP not realising that increasing NI and taxing business even more means job losses. How are these idiots elected?
This MP managed to keep a straight face when typing this, despite knowing full well her corrupt government have taxed businesses to the hilt and beyond. More companies will fold in due course.
Poundland has filed to enter administration, putting 11,000 jobs at risk just weeks before Christmas, including here in Brixton.
I stand with Poundland workers and @UsdawUnion.
The owners must engage with workers and ministers, exploring every option to save jobs and shops.
You've all been caught lying (again) so you continue fabricating your bollocks. If what you say was true, she would not have posted this video which shows nothing whatsoever.
And no, I do not vote Reform.
I was a witness to the incident between Farage and
@CarolineVoaden
(his pathetic excuse for not attending the budget yesterday).
For the avoidance of doubt and for the information of everyone making all sorts of silly statements: the incident happened BEFORE this footage.
Er, is it just me or does this show nothing happened?
Exclusive:
Nigel Farage's "physical altercation" during the State Opening of Parliament was with the Lib Dem MP Caroline Voaden - and has caused an major row between Reform and the Lib Dems.
Lib Dem sources say Voaden was left "shocked and shaken" after he "shoved" her to secure a place in the procession of MPs to the King's Speech.
Video from the Commons Chamber that day shows Farage and Voaden making their way down from their benches together.
Voaden reported the incident to the Serjeant at Arms and says Farage was asked to apologise - but hasn't.
A Reform spokesman denies any wrongdoing by Farage, saying "it was the Lib Dem MPs being aggressive towards Nigel". Lib Dems say that is "utter nonsense"
Farage said yesterday that the "physical altercation" was the reason he didn't put up a fight to be in the Chamber for the Budget after his prayer card to save a space was removed.
He said he thought that after the row with Voaden, it was "better to avoid conflict".
But in a further twist, a Commons spokesman says Farage's card was only removed because it didn't have a date stamp, which are required to reserve a spot.

Sam Curran proving once again he is the most overrated player and he also proves he has precious little between the ears. #ENGvSL
A fantastic example of having a massive chip on your shoulder.

So how many of these guys do you think will be voted in for the first try into Canton? @NFL @ProFootballHOF

This Baseball vs Cricket debate feels so personal because I used to be a professional American baseball player.
I played Single-A before moving to India for some business work. I had to stay in India for a long time, so I started watching live cricket. Once I understood the game, I decided to try playing it at a small ground.
A baseball player like me, who thought he could smash every ball for a six, struggled to even hit one. I got bowled twice in my first three balls. I managed to connect with a few full tosses, but you rarely get those deliveries because bowlers usually bowl them by mistake.
Yorkers, bouncers, everything felt like I was putting my life at risk. 😭
I became so fascinated with cricket that I eventually opened a cricket-related page.
Hitting a pitched baseball and hitting a cricket ball after it bounces are two completely different things.
If even half of India's cricket-playing kids started training for baseball, they could give America some serious competition.
You have no idea how difficult cricket actually is until you step onto the pitch.
Fuck me. "The people gave off that vibe tha they'd been victimised".
Talk about irony!!!
A disappointingly sour recollection of Stoke and the people of Stoke from James McClean in his new autobiography.
"Stoke turned out to be as grim as Huddersfield. The people gave off that vibe that they’d been victimised and were owed something." stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/fo…
Reminder. Jimmy Anderson took 50 wickets at 17 last season. He is not the reason Lancashire are so shit. Decisions like this are the reason. What a disgraceful way to end the career of one of the greats.
Lancashire Cricket can confirm that, following a remarkable 25-year association with the Red Rose, Sir James Anderson’s playing career with the Club will come to an end at the conclusion of his current contract.

That's Tom Curran for you. A legend in his own head. A massive bellend who is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is. An arrogant dickhead.
One of the Most Ridiculous and Craziest Moment in Cricket! 🤯😂
Tom Curran kept doing his run-up on the same pitch where the match was going to be played. Even after the umpire repeatedly told him to stop, he refused to listen
Finally, the umpire stood right in the middle of Curran's run-up. Both of them refused to back down. Then Curran charged in again, making it look like he was about to kick the umpire, forcing the umpire to quickly move out of the way! 😂
Because of this ridiculous behavior, Tom Curran was suspended for 4 matches. 🤯😂
