SHOCKING: 65.9% of voters in South Shropshire don't have the MP they voted for. That's 34,025 people with ZERO voice in Parliament.

@octopus.energy tomorrow at 2.00 I’ll be plugging in my two EVs and getting 10kWh of free charge - worth about 40 miles of travel. Put that in your internal combustion engine and weep, petrolheads!

Outrage at a few hurty words,but no outrage for a genocide. It takes controversial lyrics to bring it to the attention of the world. Pure hypocrisy.

It is difficult to read today’s news of massive Russian strikes against Ukraine today as anything other than evidence of betrayal by their former friends. This is a day that will live in infamy.

One week in the life of Kemi Badenoch
She might be the single worst opposition leader we've seen in our lifetime. She makes Michael Foot look like Barack Obama.

The “growth plan” for Brexit was that it would “unleash” UK from the “shackles” of EU.
And therein is the clue why there has been no growth.
The plan was no more substantial than vivid words deployed in some newspaper column or political speech.
Flimsy boosterish rhetoric, and nothing more.

WORLD’S RICHEST MAN BUYING OUR DEMOCRACY! Elon Musk is set to pump £78m into Nigel Farage’s party—a sum that would allow Reform to flood our politics with targeted ads. Maybe other countries allow billionaires to buy elections, but not here!

I’m confused. What did the blanket do?
It's hard to think of a better use of a preemptive blanket pardon than when the incoming president is hiring a slew of people openly committed to targeting the people you are considering pardoning

1/2 Must watch: this remarkable speech from Bliss, who decided uni wasn't for her & became a plumber, now installing heat pumps for customers. We’ve created 3,500 such jobs this year alone.
Bliss had the huge honour of addressing the PM, 100s of VIPs & media at the govt’s Plan for Change speech.
