John Healey has announced Ukraine will receive £10bn in additional economic and military support "We called him this morning... he told us we made his day"

🚨NEWS: Today is the 362nd Birthday of the Royal Marines Thank you for your service 🇬🇧

"Today, this Labour government is abolishing standing charges on gas bills." It is not. It is asking Ofgem to. In 2027, or as soon as possible after. Abolishing is a verb for a thing you do. Asking is what you do when you cannot. The arithmetic, from their own department. £108 a year for the typical household. Treasury estimate of the saving, £45. For 60% of households with a gas account. So four in ten get nothing, and nobody gets £108. The charge is not deleted either. It is folded into the unit price. Which means the standing charge, the one part of the bill that never punished you for being cold, now does. Heat the front room all day because you are eighty four and cannot move, and you are the heavy user paying for the fairness. And it arrives after January, when bills are forecast up £276. £45, later, for six in ten of us, against £276 on now. That is a sixth of the increase, paid in instalments, to some people. She is the new face on it, not a new government. Her predecessor promised £300 off bills. He had the department for two years, left the standing charge exactly where it was, and was moved to the Foreign Office in July. The pledge went with him and the charge stayed put. "Tackling affordability is my first priority." It has been their priority since 2024. In that time the standing charge has survived every day of them, and the £300 is still dated 2030. Now £45 to six in ten is being offered as progress toward it. Making bills fairer, they say. The standing charge was the fairest line on the bill. Everyone paid it, the same, whether they ran a bath or went to Tenerife. They have not made the bill fairer. They have made it a different shape, and charged the shape to the people who feel the cold.

Wishing a very Happy 362nd Birthday to the @RoyalMarines from the Falkland Islands. 🇫🇰🇬🇧 The Royals have a long history of extraordinary service in the Falklands and so to all - serving, veterans and cadets - we sincerely thank you. #PerMarePerTerram

The majority of British pubs will not fall into the Chancellors Business rate reduction. For me, this was a move to get headlines that they’re trying to save pubs. Extra wage increase will be the final nail in the coffin for many struggling. THEY ARE KILLING PUBS 🍺

Under Labour you energy bills are set to surge by 27%. Reform UK will take £250 off your annual energy bills in our first 100 days.

While the UK suffers

362 years and still hoofing 🎂

We can’t help our elderly, we can’t afford police stations in our towns, we can’t afford to allow our armed forces to practice war game scenarios, we can’t afford new prisons or hospitals… and our taxes are at 85 year highs. BUT £10 BILLION FOR UKRAINE - F**K OFF

So... as expected, despite resigning as Defence Secretary because Starmer wouldn't commit to spending 3% of GDP on defence, John Healey is going to wait until next year to start funding our defences properly. He's a busted flush. #CareerBeforeCountry

Alexa… show me a horror show

BREAKING: The OBR predicts households will be worse off in every single year of the 5 year forecast, compared to March. It will take until 2029 to get back to 2019 levels of prosperity. Labour’s handling of the economy is screwing working people.

I am fed up that we have to live like this.

HAPPY 362nd BIRTHDAY TO THE ROYAL MARINES! 🫡28 OCTOBER 1664 - 362 years ago today, during the reign of King Charles II, a new military regiment was formed. Its name was the Duke of York and Albany's Maritime Regiment of Foot. Today, we know its successors as the Royal Marines. Originally raised to provide soldiers capable of fighting aboard ships and on land, the regiment began a military tradition spanning more than three and a half centuries. Royal Marines have served in some of the most significant conflicts in British history. At the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, Marines fought aboard Royal Navy warships as Nelson's fleet confronted the combined French and Spanish forces. They subsequently served through the Napoleonic Wars, the First World War and the Second World War. During the Second World War, the Royal Marines played an important part in the development of Britain's commando forces and amphibious warfare. In 1982, Royal Marines Commandos were central to the campaign to liberate the Falkland Islands. More recently, they have served in Iraq, Afghanistan and operations across the world. 🎖️The Royal Marines' famous cap badge features a globe and the word Gibraltar. Gibraltar commemorates the capture of the Rock in 1704, while the globe reflects the Corps' worldwide service. Their motto, Per Mare, Per Terram, means By Sea, By Land. From their beginnings as maritime infantry to today's highly trained Commando Force, the Royal Marines have built a reputation for determination, courage, discipline and professionalism. Today we celebrate the men and women who serve, those who served before them, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. 🇬🇧 362 years of history. 362 years of service. Happy Birthday and my upmost respect to the Royal Marines! #RoyalMarines

Brits have more sense than their stupid politicians.

A massive hypocrite

You should only have laws that you are willing to enforce. Otherwise you look weak and pathetic And you encourage more law breaking.

Any other bright ideas a please write to 10 DRowning St 🤣 We now have a gherkins and marmalade 🤣😅🤣

🇬🇧🌹 THE FALKLANDS 255 – FOREVER REMEMBERED. 255 British servicemen who never came home from the Falklands War in 1982. Not just a number. They were sons, husbands, fathers, brothers and mates. They sailed thousands of miles from home, leaving behind families who prayed for their safe return. For 255 families, that reunion never came. Their courage, sacrifice and the lives they never got to live must never be forgotten. Different uniforms. Different services. One shared sacrifice. 🌹 Stand easy, lads. Your duty is done. 🇬🇧 WE WILL REMEMBER THEM. 🇬🇧

I’m fed up of Westminster treating us like fools. £45 a year off gas but it’s being added on to unit prices Plus price rise in January adding potentially £200 a year. It’s a big con which Government think we can’t see.
