Labour is crushing businesses but some muppet has decided it’d be a good idea to tell the MPs to tweet that they’re concerned it’s happened (again) 🤦🏻♂️

I am concerned that US investment firm Gordon Brothers is seeking to breakup Poundland, putting 12,000 jobs at risk. Including the jobs at the Glasgow Fort shop in Easterhouse.
The Prime Minister has said that the government stands ready to support the workforce. I have written to the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade @jreynoldsMP to express my concerns about the future of Poundland and to ask that @UsdawUnion are involved in discussions 📨👇

For the Westminster bubble, Campbell getting challenged on BBC Question Time is treated like political pantomime and studio theatre.
For those who lived through the consequences of the 2003 invasion, there is nothing entertaining about it.
One hundred and seventy-nine British service personnel came home from Iraq in flag-draped coffins. Thousands more returned with shattered limbs, catastrophic brain injuries, and minds destroyed by blast trauma.
While New Labour spin doctors were massaged in Downing Street corridors and redrafted intelligence dossiers to manufacture a pretext for war, young British soldiers were sent into meat grinders like the siege of CIMIC House in Al-Amarah and the streets of Basra—patrolling in lightly armoured "Snatch" Land Rovers that ministers knew were death traps against shaped IEDs.
From the desert wastes of Iraq to the legendary brotherhood of the SAS—where British and Commonwealth operators like New Zealanders in 22 SAS fought and bled shoulder to shoulder, from the harrowing evasion of Bravo Two Zero to black-ops counter-terror raids in Baghdad—our soldiers fulfilled their oath with unmatched courage. They fought for the man on their left and the man on their right. They did not die for corporate reconstruction contracts, Downing Street vanity, or Blairite messianism.
For over twenty years, Alastair Campbell has enjoyed lucrative book deals, fawning media platforms, and podcast respectability lecturing the country on "integrity in public life".
Calling him to account on live television isn’t a political stunt. It is the absolute bare minimum owed to 179 dead British troops, their grieving families, and the generational destruction unleashed in our name.
@ZiaYusufUK said to his face what millions of veterans and citizens have wanted said for two decades. #bbcqt
When the 40% tax band was created, it was meant for the top 3.5% of earners - bank directors and senior executives.
Now it’s 22% of taxpayers 😳

🇬🇧 The OBR just dropped 200 pages on Healey's first Budget.
I read it so you don't have to.
Tax is at a record 37.9% of GDP by 2027-28, past the old high of 37.2%.
Then it climbs every single year to 38.6%.
Frozen thresholds are doing way too much to workers since they get a pay rise, hand more of it over.
1.8x the national minimum wage now classes you as a higher tax rate payer - what the fuck?
Borrowing @ £133bn this year. In March they said £115bn. Seven months later it's £18bn worse. And it's higher than March in every year of the forecast because neither the OBR nor treasury has a clue what they’re doing.
Debt interest at £39bn in 2019-20.
£109bn last year 😩
£160bn by 2031-32 😩😩£15bn of this year's bill is extra bc inflation's pushing up index linked gilts, and we know the uk has a structural inflation problem, partly due to the relationship between treasury and BoE.
Headroom is £14.5bn, down from £21.7bn at the last Budget.
Keep the fuel duty freeze going and it's £10.2bn.
The OBR gives Healey a 56% chance of hitting his OWN FUCKING rule.
Debt will peak at 97.3% of GDP, still 95.6% in 2031-32. Five years and it barely moves which is completely against his fiscal demands.
How it affects you?
Growth 1% next year with gdp per capita basically the same as it has been since 2019
Inflation 3.4% when March said 2%.
Zero real pay growth in 2027.
Living standards in 2030-31?
Just 2% above pre-pandemic.
But don't worry. You're getting a £100 council tax rebate.
Jesus Christ.
Being glamorous on the outside doesn’t make you a good partner, it makes you a trophy than can be replaced.
For people to say she doesn’t look glamorous enough is on them, not her.
Straight to the comments 😂
Tonight, Cardiff Castle will light up green to mark Dwarfism Awareness Day. 💚
The illumination celebrates diversity and helps raise awareness and understanding of dwarfism. orlo.uk/S4Qel

Normally you can pick a Walt but if he didn’t this is utterly vile!
Because of the trust and loyalty we have with each other we share experiences with each other that would be unfathomable.
A Reform member in Portsmouth who served with distinction as a Royal Marine in Afghanistan and Iraq was told by an ITV undercover reporter that they shared the same military background.
That was a lie.
The Marine, believing him, took him for a drink. They spent hours talking about their 'shared' service.
He shared deeply personal stories from the front line.
He thought he was talking to a friend who had been through the same things.
He has since learned that the man across the table was an actor with a hidden camera, sent by a television company to damage the party he volunteers for.
He said he feels VIOLATED.
A man who put his life on the line for this country had his most private memories extracted by deception for a TV programme.
This just shows you how SCUMMY the mainstream media are.
Monty has a chest infection 😒 I rung the vet and he said does his cough sound hoarse?
I said no it sounds dog!
