When MOTD went ‘silent’ one weekend because all the pundits went out in support of Lineker for something or the other, it was brilliant, it was like watching a live match.

My dad never voted Labour my grandad never voted Labour my uncles never voted Labour so I will never vote Labour.

US President Donald Trump says an agreement with Iran has been "largely negotiated" and details will be announced soon. The deal would include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, he said on Saturday, without giving further details. Believe this when it happens

Fuchsias from @dobbies all from a six pack of plug plants in February the small pots are cutting from the side shoots of the standards. Bertie keeps an eye on them. 🐕

NHS waiting lists deliberately fiddled, Trusts paid £55 for every patient removed from waiting lists. 250,000 British & EU citizens left the country, replaced by?

It says a lot about z Starmer’s failed “smash the gangs”when the bbc does more than the British government. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5ye…

Burnham blames failed politics for leaving places like Ashton behind. Is he including the 13 years of New Labour govt in that? The years he served as mayor? He's more relatable than Starmer, but that's not hard. Cut through the spin and he's just offering more tax and spend.

He can talk much better than Starmer however policy wise what’s the difference … what are his views on women’s rights, EU … changed his mind again in that or has he? Wasted millions of tax payers money, Man City council in debt, homeless, grooming gangs, illegal migration

Why not just make council tips easier to use! … no booking, no jobsworths, they seem to take less and less items each year! … got to be cheaper and better overall!

Starbucks are banning pets so as to conform to their upcoming Halal accreditation.🤨 Absolutely disgusting.

Starmer meets ministers and warns any leadership challenge would 'plunge us into chaos' You have to laugh, is there no depths this man will sink to? He has long plunged us into chaos. He is in denial. Walter Mitty.

On a lighter note the Eurovision Song Contest is on soon. Anybody else not care 🤔🤣

Keir Starmer says he won’t walk away & plunge the UK into chaos. This man is so delusional & in denial not to realise we are already in chaos totally due to him. It’s extraordinary that he even shows his face. He has no shame 😳

David Attenborough turns 100 on Friday. This tribute in Richmond brought a lump to my throat. He’s one of few heroes I’ve met: just as generous & lovely in person as on screen. I wish every politician who calls him a national treasure wld act on his urgent pleas for the planet.

NHS to miss targets for cutting A&E wait times and performance in England Health Secretary’s pledges are in doubt as analysis shows the NHS will not deliver key improvements theguardian.com/society/2026…

Liar you put party before country or you wouldn't have voted for to stop starmer going in front of the privileges committee because he misled parliament we all know it

So where is the revered leader of the Labour Party? The Prime Minister? He isn't even in the country. He isn't bothering to electioneer. He isnt on the doorsteps. He isn't going around the country supporting his MPs. Is he? No. He is trying to look important to EU and Zelensky in Armenia!!! I'm sorry what was that? Country first? He isnt putting his party OR his country first. Sit down.

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

Does any company make a domestic lawn mower that will cut grass up to the lawn edge? Of not they are missing an usp. If there is what make are they?

All these Labour MPs are being whipped into extolling the virtues of the disastrous renters bill. Are they just plain scared or just plain stupid? Labour leaving yet another mess. Returning people to poverty. Rents will go sky high but they are too thick to see it.
