  1. The cynic in me notes that 'being dead' removes you from the waiting list...

  2. Stop theatening me with nice things!

  3. ​ @vincentblack7467  this is the nature of a free and open society - even idiots are free to voice an opinion Doesn't mean we have to endorse them though!

  4.  @davidedwards1336  were you paid to say that, or are you genuinely insane?

  5. and "more powerful" is marketing spin. Designs have improved a lot since then, so often you're not getting better cleaning with the high power model, you're just racking up a bigger electricity bill!

  6. ​ @terrysmith5168  The Tories are a massive security risk. We should worry about that one first!
    7
  7. The EU, where you get arrested for corruption? Sounds like something we should try in the UK!

  8. Sewage is now a party political issue, and the Tories are on the side that wants more of it

  9.  @colinjenkins4213  They are cashing in everything that isn't nailed down and keeping the money for themselves and their chums It's what they always do, but usually they are sneakier than this

  10. Too many people think democracy is something you do once every 4/5 years, rather than a continuous process
    7
  11.  @hoxtondave9619  what did Blair do that Thatcher didn't?
    7
  12. ​ @mike-A299  that's very admirable for the one or two that did work their way up, but in truth most CEOs are where they are because mummy and daddy opened the doors for them

  13. ​ @sovietspaceship we see the real skivers now - people who do no work, while expecting someone else to work to pay their mortgage, plus a bit extra!

  14.  @PhilBaxter  is he a hardline Brexiteer though? He's saying we have to make being out work, and that's just reality. We will rejoin, but it's definitely not going to be in the next parliament. Even the hyperEuropean LibDems aren't promising that!

  15. It's wierd. The Daily Mail is one of the least trusted publications in the world, even among many of it's readers, yet people keep giving it their money and time People are wierd

  16. Here we are, still talking about Palestine The people who wanted the story to start and end on Oct 7th haven't got what they wanted, and that's the point
    7
  17.  @TheDom277  if they manage to find someone shivering and munching on bread as even toast is too expensive, who sincerely and honestly says "yeah, but it would be worse under Labour", I don't know if I'll laugh or cry
    7
  18. You will definitely enjoy a very nice standard of living, but it's not oligarch-rich. Rich is one of those awkwardly fuzzy words We should tax the 100k rich a little bit more. We should tax oligarchs a lot more

  19. ​ @TonySwaby212 evidence would have been great! Shame the Tories buried any attempt to look for any 🙁

  20. Can I get my Brexiteer Bingo card ready, and predict that most, maybe all the wishlist turns out to be nothing at all to do with the EU?
    7
  21. ​ @DarkHelixia  there's disagreeing on whether it's a drizzle or a shower, and there's standing in a downpour insisting that it's glorious sunshine We have too many willing to do the latter, and too many letting them get away with it
    7
  22.  @PFB-yo6wi  when the choices are a slightly flawed plan, and a spectacularly terrible plan, what can you do?
    7
  23. Respect to all of you! We need pull together to fix things. No point going over the past unless it gives us lessons for the future!
    7
  24. 100 quid wouldn't cover the increase in most people's bills. Costs are shooting up
    7
  25. Clearly Tim Martin hasn't given up enough Netflix and avocado toast yet!

  26. Nationalism, like all authoritarian systems, is all about wanting someone to take all the scary complicated decisions away. While other politicians make things complicated and difficult (because that's the reality), the authoritarian makes it all sound simple I am trying to word this as diplomatically as possible, as I mean it as an observation not an insult. There's a natural synergy here. People who want complexity to go away won't be inclined to dig into the situation enough to see through the lies. There will always be a proportion of the population receptive to a plausible and upbeat lie

  27.  @huberticusrex  firstly, they didn't give her chance to, and secondly, would they have that authority? We do not want a state where police can move anyone they like from anywhere on a whim
    7
  28.  @jamjam2833  trade volume is reduced due to red tape. Adding red tape to trade is always costly
    7
  29. @Ben bear  are you threatening people with easier foreign holidays? Interesting threat, there!
    7
  30. @Ben bear  is that tinfoil hat comfortable? I imagine it's a bit toasty now the weather is warming up!
    7
  31.  @terryboland3816  we did build on excellent existing foundations! This point still stands though - why undo our proud and worthwhile addition that we added to this legacy? I thought Global Britain was about celebrating our achievements and successes!

  32. Tice reminds me of every ignorant, arrogantly clueless manager I've had the misfortune to work for He thinks talking loudly solves everything, but actually knows nothing
    7
  33. Either 'lie' or 'taking credit for things other people did'
    7
  34. To everyone saying "we just like the trade", would you be happy with being in the customs union and single market without a set at the table setting the regulations for that market?
    7
  35. So being an EU member did bring money to the country, but the problem was it wasn't distributed productively So this man says we should cut off the money, rather than use it better 🤔
    7
  36. I wish we had actual economists. All we have in parliament are gangsters
    7
  37.  @TonyMaronie  I keep doing that! The wrong spelling just feels more phonetic to me 🙁
    7
  38.  @mattd5073  if you work somewhere with expensive housing, 40k isn't anything special at all
    6
  39. and let's not forget 5% is still pretty high. Are you expecting a 5% pay rise this year? If not, you're getting poorer, again 🙁

  40. ​ @johnrussell3961 "far left"? Macmillan would be called "far left" by current standards...

  41.  @pauljames5079  I'd rather my taxes go to help refugees than go in Baroness Mones offshore account
    6
  42.  @cupguin  Oh definitely, Starmer is better than what we have now! But he's a small step. I won't relax and say "job done" if he is leading the government. There are still so many problems he's turning a blind eye to
    6
  43. ​ @rjfrjf6121 oh no! People might send strongly worded tweets - the horror!
    6
  44. ​ @HoveMania because when there is a legal route, small boats are genuinely illegal
    6
  45. ​ @arthurharrison7675 most of us want a brighter future than turnips and cap doffing. When did our great nation of explorers become so timid and insular?
    6
  46.  @Iazzaboyce  there will always be problems to address, but I am not aware of anything existential inside the EU
    6
  47. ​@Try telling the truth. They clearly saved enough, until Brexit moved the goalposts
    6
  48.  @trytellingthetruth.2068  They said they had plans to retire there. That strongly suggests they know what was needed before their plans got smashed into bits
    6
  49. Could be worse - could you imagine if she was here this week 😦
    6
  50.  @YA-hm5zy  so what you're saying is we have to get rid of Tories and Russian Oligarchs all at once? 🤔
