Walk done, rain (just about) avoided. Sitting have a beer and about to start this @guywalters …

Ahhh, the travails of the present Government. The gift that keeps on giving…

What would you do if were bimbling along in Poland in 1944 and found an entire V2 in a marsh? Leave it alone? Hide it before the Germans arrived? Or spirit it away to Britain? Found out what really happened in my new @HoZ_Books book coming out Thursday, Stealing Hitler's Rocket!

The sun, the sea, the sand and the sound of the waves. Oh, and the sound of fighter jets overhead… #Cromer

Another #Norfolk road trip…

If the problem is you're borrowing too much, that arises because you're spending too much. If you're spending too much, you must reduce your spending...It's a very silly person that says, "I'm going bankrupt the way I am but I can't afford to cut so don't ask me." [...] You know 30% of the people in council houses have higher household incomes than 45% of the people in owner-occupied homes. And yet, the people in the owner-occupied homes are having to subsidise some of that 30%. You don't cut subsidies to those people who need them. The trouble now is they're right across the board. And where do subsidies come from? Not from the government, but out of the taxpayers' pocket.

Very good…

This is absolutely Brilliant!…🤣🤣🤣 Well done @Adamstoon1

If I hear one more time @BBCRadio4 explaining what net migration is I’m going to go mad. It’s been at least 4 times in the last 75 minutes. We are not fools, we know what it is…

Good morning @USPSHelp need help. Trying to trace a tracked letter sent from UK to Greensboro NC on 7th April. It was released from US Customs on 16th but still not arrived at final destination. Have tracking number but there’s nothing after 16/4. Pls contact me for more details.

As someone with a worm’s eye view of the legislative process, it really irritates me that Starmer’s spin for the poor local election results is that his Govt hasn’t been moving fast enough. There were 40 bills in the first parliamentary session and there are 37 in the second, as set out in yesterday’s King’s Speech. Starmer has created 96 peers – a higher rate per year than any previous Prime Minister. He could not be going any faster. The fact that the legislation the Govt has rammed through has not delivered growth or reduced the tax burden on working people or lowered the cost of living – delivered the ‘change’ that Labour promised – is because they’re not designed to do that. They’re designed to placate the Party’s ‘stakeholders’ – backbench Labour MPs, trade unions, NGOs, think tanks, lobby groups, allies in the legal profession, cheerleaders in the media, etc. It’s been bleedin’ obvious to everyone on the opposition benches – and probably some on the Govt benches too – that the legislation was introduced in the last parliamentary session – particularly the Employment Rights Act – will impede growth, not accelerate it. We’ve told the Govt’s ministers this in the chamber again and again and everything we’ve predicted would happen has happened – rising unemployment, rising inflation, accelerating borrowing costs, an unmanageable welfare bill, exodus of high income-earners, thereby increasing the tax burden on the rest of us, etc. The idea that if the Govt had been going *even faster* – which is just straightforwardly impossible – the country would be better off, is for the birds. Even as a piece of spin, it’s pathetic. The reason we’re in an economic doom spiral is because this Govt is only interested in pandering to its ‘stakeholders’ and their only motive is to line their own pockets and advance their own narrow sectional interests. Changing the leader will make no difference. We need a Prime Minister and a Govt who are going to prioritise the national interest. I don’t see anyone in the pack of hyenas stalking Starmer who’s going to do that.

Bang on Matt…

Love it…

Absolutely perfect - I must rewatch the whole thing
