Why?
Limited vaccine eligibility, waning immunity, lower priority by leaders, mixing in poorly ventilated, cramped spaces. Scant use of face coverings.

Mixing in poorly ventilated spaces?
There's a government plan to *boost* this contributor to COVID spreading, by having pubs open for longer hours!

Yes you do.
Here’s a hint - tell Starmer to bin his Brexit red lines.

We’re tired of suffering economically, politically & socially from this failed Brexit.

Look at the polls. They’ll tell you that.

Someone just sent me this - and it should be a lesson to everyone to never count your chickens before they’re hatched.

And on that note, I shall continue what is referred to as a “dedicated & unrelenting character assassination campaign” against the

If the Donald gets the Nobel Peace Prize today, I'd like to dedicate it to all the followers of @BearlyPolitics (who's no longer on X) for his & their dedicated & unrelenting character assassination campaign against the greatest POTUS in my living memory. Tough shit,

How about a good start for the weekend.
Donald didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize.
He didn't come in second, third or fourth.
He didn't place at all.
Oh, by the way, we are still waiting for THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Over to you Keir. Which side are you going to choose for sovereign UK?

The side of the EU and the "green crap", or the side of your great friend Agent Orange?

Its insane that they don't tweak the laws to make it mandatory for employers to use HVAC, i believe it is around £15k for a HVAC set-up, but the overall cost of incapacity en masse is far greater and yet affects customers/workers alike. Disastrous policies = disastrous outcomes.

‘Brexit is a tragedy and it will be reversed.’ 💥

#Heseltine is the best political communicator by a long way.

His emphatic call for rejoining the EU cuts through the noise, grounded in truth, while the counterarguments cling to a dwindling minority of Brexit believers.
