"Many people in the sector have made the point to me that they feel taxed enough. I do not know that we would want to add any more to that." This was what the then-Tourism Minister said to me in September. 1/2

Yesterday the Prime Minister confirmed that he's delaying the planned fuel duty hike, saying, "We are backing drivers by extending the freeze in fuel duty for the rest of the year." @Conservatives and I have been calling for this since the start of the Iran conflict. 1/2
Labour is now spending more on welfare than it is raising in Income Tax. In the 2025/26 financial year, the Treasury raised £331 billion in Income Tax. In the same year, the Government spent £333bn on welfare. As I and many others have pointed out, this is unsustainable. A 🧵

Constituents have written to me about the sudden increase in the cost of heating oil, for example from 55p per litre to 132p, with minimum order quantities also increasing from 500 litres to 900 litres! Yesterday the Chancellor came to the Commons to talk about the rising energy costs. 1/4
Last week, I asked - once again - when Labour will publish the Defence Investment Plan (DIP). We were told it would be published in Autumn 2025. Since then, Ministers have been asked numerous times when the DIP will be published, only to respond: "it is getting close"...
Ahead of tonight's vote on whether to refer the Prime Minister to the Privileges Committee, I closed my speech with the words of Keir Starmer in 2022 when he was calling for a privileges referral. I hope Labour MPs follow the position that Starmer set out in 2022.
Danielle Smith: "Kicking the can down the road only prolongs a very emotional and important debate and muzzling the voices of hundreds of thousands of Albertans wanting to be heard is unjustifiable in a free and democratic society."

Not confirmed officially. But I think it's a safe bet . This would make an easy payday of at least $59M for the Trump family. I can see this dragged out for years in court. Regardless, take it away, Bobby D!

In 1977, the retail world was caught in a clunky transition. While we think of "swiping" as a 1980s phenomenon, the groundwork for the electronic credit card era was laid right in the middle of the '70s.

If that's what I think it means, we agree 100%. Our brain uses the sensors so-called "senses" (hearing, touching, smelling, tasting, seeing) to perceive and capture, then process and elaborate creatively: computational power can't do that, since it needs banks of data previously stored by us.

It’s surreal to watch Trump’s relationship with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz evolve over these past 7 weeks. Describing his behavior as unhinged is an understatement. It is giving off alzheimers, senile, dementia, erratic, narcissist vibes. #trump #alzheimers #iran #straitofhormuz #25thamendment
When a chatter asks Matt Taibbi why he thinks the Epstein story is "boring", he's immediately interrupted by his crazy co-host Walter Kirn ranting about COVID "concentration camps". Matt does not come back to this question for the rest of the episode.

Ukraine is strong. Ukrainians are brave. But resilience is not infinite. In Odesa, I see businesses closing, people leaving, and growing fatigue after five years of war. Even bamboo snaps if bent too far. The world must stop confusing courage with endless capacity. #Ukraine

A Florida art teacher was suspended after video showed a Black baby doll hanging inside her classroom. That is not “poor judgment.” That is racist imagery carrying lynching, humiliation, and anti-Black violence into a space where Black children are supposed to be protected.
