Have you got the point yet Kemi?? @KemiBadenoch you were WRONG about @andyburnham on Googlebox
It turns out David Cameron, Gordon Brown, Boris Johnson, Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher & Harold Wilson all appeared on TV programmes.

I think BB should introduce viewer nominations for one week. Nothing would more unsettle the house
@bbuk
So true, Ali, Big Brother this year is back to it's most brilliant best. In my opinion far more gripping than the over hyped Traitors and Strictly xx

It is sickening that the USA is now lifting sanctions on Russian fuel, and transparently ridiculous to blame Ukraine for the spike in prices that obviously began with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Putin is murdering innocent Ukrainian civilians every day. The Ukrainians are fighting for their lives. And yet the White House is apparently determined to force American drivers to bankroll Putin’s slaughter. It won’t work and I doubt it will make much difference to the price of fuel.
If we want Russian oil and gas back on the world market then let’s end this war - with a free, sovereign and independent Ukraine.

I note that politicians and journalists have been falling over themselves in praise of Lord Jeffrey Archer who has died aged 86. I don’t share that view.
Back in 1987 Archer sued the Daily Star for libel after they reported he had paid for sex with a prostitute.
Thanks to his lies in the witness box he was awarded £500K in damages, a record at the time. Actually the paper was right he had had paid £6K for her services.
The editor, a talented Aussie called Lloyd Turner who had done a great job for the paper, was fired by the idiot owner who preferred to believe a politician than his own staff.
That verdict left Turner, according to his wife, a broken man, and he died five years later at 57.
So, he never had the pleasure, some six years later, of seeing Archer, being jailed for perjuring himself and forced to hand back the £500K.
Archer’s lies destroyed Turner’s career and hurried the end of his life.
Disgracefully, that story has been ignored by the good and great in the hagiographies.
Amazon deliveries are now so utterly poor that they have REMOVED the ability to rate the delivery. They continue to largely breach Sec 28.2 of The Consumer Rights Act additionally The Data Protection Act, where they incorrectly state items have been delivered to you
@AmazonUK
Sorry Rory, I have a huge amount of respect for you however your BLIND defence of HM King is bordering upon the sycophantic. Clearly Spencer is telling the truth. No doubt. They say Spencer is doing it for the money, HM has 13 castles one with 1000 rooms!!!

Britain is now at the stage where Burnham's government is openly declaring it plans to arbitrarily confiscate assets from his main political rival.
Passing retroactive laws to seize his rivals' donations which were perfectly legal when received is the behaviour of a banana republic dictator.
The fact the media is trying to normalise this is even more terrifying.
Know what time it is in Britain.
Haven't thought up another Tax over the weekend. Best tell your colleagues when citing Venice as justification for Tourist Tax, that VAT in Venice on accomodation is 10% in parts of France 2%. In the UK 20%. THE Tourist Tax is just another stealth tax, shameful.

Okay, perhaps you could ask Ed Davey why the Lib Dems took £1.4 million from a puberty blocker manufacturer Ferring Pharmaceuticals Ltd and then proceed to adopt the most trans activist policies of the main parties?
Cronkite AND Sophia Loren. Gyles you never ever fail to bring a little joy to our mornings. God bless x
@GylesB1
VAT on hotel accomodation in Venice and throughout Italy is 10%. Not the blanket 20% UK rate!! @DailyMail
@AngelaRayner @downingstreet @No10NorthGov @andyburnham we already pay enough through Income Tax, Nat Ins and VAT. NO TO THE TOURIST TAX @reformparty_uk ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
More STEALTH Tax. The Tourist Tax is ill conceived. There is ZERO comparrision with Europe given the VAT rates on accomodation are generally much lower there. HM treasury is also going to benefit from the VAT on the new tax!!! @reformparty_uk
@10NorthGov @DailyMail @KemiBadenoch
You FAILED to mention on the BBC News at One that the Tourist Tax is subject to VAT, so contrary to your report, not all the money stays in the area it's taken. It's another Treasury stealth tax which you failed to mention @KemiBadenoch
@BBCNews @DailyMailUK
Sorry to see your interview on @_daily_politics
@montie I think your contribution to @reformparty_uk has been a genuine and worthy attempt to be a honourable critical friend and you have a huge amount of experience that they would be foolish to ignore.
Probably need to keep @policylaila and @NadineDorries off the list of interviewees in future in defence of the alleged misconduct of some in the party. Their interviews on @BBCNewsnight and @Channel4News
was embarrassing and woefully inadequate Zia @ZiaYusufUK
cnn.com/2026/09/02/europe/ma… a truly remarkable gesture from our dear French friends. It is going to be such a successful event for the British People and particularly our children @EmmanuelMacron
Burnham urged to resolve infected blood scandal ‘injustices’ independent.co.uk/news/healt… @andyburnham this cannot be allowed to go on Andy. It's is frankly scandalous how the infected and affected are still being treated. The NHS still obstructing and in denial @YvetteCooperMP
