Happily retired aircraft engineer. Love my kids and Grandkids and hoping for a healthy retirement, health is crucially important. Labour man, Keir supporter, Celtic man, humanist, Trump & Farage are abominations. Not interested in Bit coin shite. No DM’s.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

#Farage promised freedom and left us chained to debt.
Covid bonds, weak trade, lost investment, now the budget bleeds.
Every tax rise should carry his name. #faragetaxes
He wanted sovereignty. He delivered insolvency. He lied, He walked away. #RejoinEU is the solution not ReformUK.

When will the biased Fiona Bruce be dropped by the bbc? I haven’t been able to watch bbcqt since she took the chair. It’s absolutely shit with her hosting it, isn’t it?

The Conservatives don’t care about homelessness.

But the British people do.

This Labour Government is giving people the dignity of their own front door and a secure roof over their heads.

Most people seem to have missed who retweeted this picture of Farage in Gill’s office a few days after Gill began receiving his first bribes from Oleh Voloshyn (Oleg Voloshin). None other than…

A costly Russian electronic warfare system was destroyed by a Ukrainian FPV drone worth just $500. The strike occurred approximately 30 km from the border, inside Russia’s Belgorod region.

🚨 NEW: Rachel Reeves is set to blame Nigel Farage for tax rises in the Budget, saying he delivered Brexit with “easy sloganeering” and then walked away

Reeves will say that without Brexit, the economy would be stronger and taxes lower - and that Farage is to blame

#Farage is great at protesting but not at planning, at complaining but not coordination, at criticism but not consideration. For years he led the cry for #Brexit bur never had a plan Then the Brexiteers went to negotiations with nothing. No plan, no purpose, no clue. #RejoinEU, not ReformUK.

I've been to Dubai for work a few times. It's like the world's biggest airport lounge. Utterly soulless. Can't imagine wanting to live there whatever the financial benefits. (That's before you get to the ethical issues...)

Katie Martin @katie0martin.ft.com · 14h

People keep telling me the UK is so over and they're going to move to Dubai and, like, fine. Go on then. Would you like directions to the airport?

You definitely shouldn't move to Dubai, writes V&A director Tristram Hunt on.ft.com/46MfW1t
