Badenoch is disrespecting the millions of heroes who died defending us from the Nazis. #newsnight
#newsnight is insulting the nation, bringing a tory on to criticise the government for the prison crisis his party brought about.
There are times Jeremy, when playing the Devil's advocate can make you sound very foolish. How many of our heroes died fighting the Nazi's. You disrespect them all. #jeremyvine
Well said, banks, oil, and energy are sucking the life out of the economy. Unavoidable costs are levied by these cartels. Whatever happened to the monopoly commission?
This is pure extraction of wealth from one group of people to another We urgently need: Windfall tax on oil giants Windfall tax on banks Both are creaming money off us during a cost of living crisis Even Thatcher had the balls to tax the banks Will you @andyburnham?
Badenoch's lies on #bbcbreakfast go unchallenged. She claims Paedophiles will be released early. They will not.
Windfall tax on colossal bank profits could raise £19bn in 2026. Result of profiteering and govt policies. Sufficient to increase frozen personal income tax allowance by nearly £2,000. Banks paid out £25bn in bonuses in the year to March, can easily pay more tax.

Once again, Farage and Reform come up with an idea straight out of Putin's head. Let's move naval operations from watching Russian activity close to our shores and concentrate all our firepower instead on unarmed immigrants. How much does Russia donate to Farage? #newsnight

So many problems: prisons, justice, health, social care, youth unemployment, nursery deaths, debt, wealth inequality...and many more. We have a societal problem and a failure of government and the capitalist system.
Back in Botha's South Africa, Musk's white neighbours were calling for Mandela to be hung and Blacks to be segregated in a vicious apartheid regime. It is Musk who is the racist. He was bred to hate colour.
Musk tweeted "Mass immigration of people that want to kill white people IS genocide" back in December, in support of Sam Melia of Patriotic Alternative. [Musk's calls for pre-emptive interethnic violence has premise of civil war having begun: many/most migrants & ninorities wamt to kill all whires]
If SME's weren't hit by crippling energy, fuel, bank, costs , they could afford to run apprenticeships #newsnight

I was hoping Burnham would burst the Westminster bubble, but he seems to have enlarged it, bringing our media "super stars" with him to Manchester. Are the young,new Northern journalists being overlooked? #bbclaurak
@jeremyvine.bsky.social You see everything the government does in negative terms. If they announce a cut, you say"it's not enough" "how will they pay for it". Or if they do nothing you complain about ,"the cost of living crisis" Your negativity is feeding the nation's mental crisis #jeremyvine
This is the truth that refutes "conservative" "supply-side" economic dogma in its entirety. All the wealth-creation done by "entrepreneurs" was done in response to consumer demand. Denial of this truth is how we get a parasite class of techbros inflicting garbage on us and calling it "progress."

Mel Stride is doing a good headless chicken routine Where's the money coming from? Where's the money coming from?????? #bbcnews
Re distribution of wealth!!!! Victoria soon stopped that line. Perhaps wealth taxes, later in the year. will pay for the VAT cuts. #newsnight
BBC journo's will have to get used to being ignored Victoria. #newsnight
Mel Stride claiming business is the engine room of growth. He is so wrong. The engine room of growth is the customers who purchase business products. When customers are skint, there can be no growth #radio5live #Burnham
