Torsten, when you find the fool who: 😱 Voted for 330 pages of employment red tape 😱 Hiked NI costs by £25 billion 😱 Jacked up rates on businesses do be sure to tell them precisely what you think.
Like many people across Swansea Bay, I’m deeply disappointed to learn that Admiral Insurance are to cut 500 jobs from its UK business. I’ve asked for an urgent meeting with the company to talk about what happens next - particularly in Swansea.

Perhaps @LukePollard can fool himself, but I doubt he can fool anyone else. Agamemnon is probably ~1 year away from being operational. And no operational SSN has been to sea for >100 days
A proud moment for Barrow and Britain. HMS Agamemnon is one of the most powerful attack submarines ever built and she's now heading to sea trials before joining the fleet. This is deterrence in action. 🇬🇧

I mean wow. Troops engaged in gun battles with the enemy every night and every day. Night after night. Week after week. Month after month (sometimes for years). Some people fail to realise that we sleep safely in our beds at night because these men and woman are constantly engaged in preventing attacks against this country. We should be focused on the sacrifices and their service not whether they swear at each other. We definitely shouldn’t compare their extraordinary roll to other professions.⬇️

The stalkers should be locked up. In the meantime, you can show your appreciation for the selfless @RNLI volunteers by making a donation at rnli.org/support-us/give-mon… or visiting the online shop at shop.rnli.org/
This is incredibly creepy - anti-migrant loonies stalking the Hastings lifeboat crew while they were saving a woman in the sea off St Leonards. Very thin ice as far as the law is concerned. theargus.co.uk/news/26574985…

OFFICIAL STATEMENT - Yesterday, I made a serious mistake while trying to register the domain name helpdanny.org, and instead of directing all web traffic from it towards an appeal to help the recently arrested Danny Tommo, all visitors were sent to my RNLI appeal for The Flying Farage instead and it’s jumped up to £397,173. Upon realising my mistake, I tried to log back into the control panel provided by the domain name company, but I couldn’t find the piece of paper that I wrote the password on. Upon further investigation, I learned that my eight-year-old had turned it into a paper plane and it had flown out of the back door and into the garden, where a waiting badger picked it up and then ran off to use it as bedding in his sett. They can be quite vicious apparently so I didn’t want to try and get it back in case it scratched me, and so I’ve been trying to guess the password. I’m pretty certain that it’s 26 random characters long but with the word ‘frenulum’ in the middle, but until I’ve figured it out the domain name will have to take people to my RNLI appeal instead. Thanks for your understanding in this matter.

#NewProfileDescription, proud of 15 years’ DV clearance, 25% of my practice being Treasury Panel work for the Foreign Office et al. protecting my country of birth’s security interests, accepting lifetime prohibition on holding a PIO card at 25% of my hourly rate and with zero Englishness 🙄

Swearing like troopers, latest
EXCLUSIVE: Special forces soldiers believe they are “untouchable” and not all of them are the heroes they think they are, according to a former female civil servant who worked alongside them. Monica Grenfell, who was employed at the Special Air Service (SAS) headquarters in Credenhill, near Hereford, for three years, said some of the elite troops were “feral” and it was “the nasty characters who really ruled the roost”. She has given evidence under oath to the Afghan Inquiry and has now been interviewed by @thetimes thetimes.com/article/5706a8a…

For several days, my timeline has been full of people doing a good impression of the Death Eaters from Harry Potter insisting only purebloods can call themselves English. No time to reply to all of them, but five quick questions for any who care to engage 1/6

Brilliant.
The annual ritual of reviving and then cancelling the Chagos Deal under a new Prime Minister whenever the Americans object to it was originally a pagan festival, actually

This really is nonsensical. Claims £14bn could be raised by increasing CGT to income tax rates. HMRC estimates that a 10% increase in CGT would *cost* £3.5bn. Exact magnitude can be disputed, but it sure as heck wouldn't raise close to £14bn. thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

There’s good folks in politics, but it does something to your soul. I changed what it means to be a veteran in the UK: if I can do it, so can anyone. Get involved in politics, whatever your flavour. It needs better people, and that means you. 📖 No Way To Run A Country📖
