Brexiters should be rejoicing at Burnham’s speech. They can campaign on all the ways Brexit has improved our lives and the fortunes of our country. They can set their case out clearly and with facts for all to see. Bet they can’t wait.

So if you drive a van with a bunch of empty barrels near an RAF base - you’re a terrorist. But if you break into an RAF base and damage military equipment, you’re a peaceful protester?

Oh no how will we ever cope if billionaires are forced to pay taxes on their life destroying business and stops advertising on “the sport of kings”

Today, we honor the memory Colin McRae, one of the greatest rally drivers. I never had the honor of watching WRC back then, but what I've since heard and learnt about him. He was an incredible talent. Rally In Peace, Colin!

Just been paid £364 from my solar FIT for the last 3 months, that is power I have been paid for and freely consumed reducing the money paid to my supplier. Tell me again how net zero is pushing my energy bills up???

More reasons to like #Costco bought something last month, then a few days after ordering it they discounted the price, instead of having to return the item and buy at the new price they refunded the difference

It’s a dark day… I have bought my son a golf club… hopefully this isn’t the top of a slippery slope to him becoming a golfist

This stopped me in my tracks. An independent study by @qmul.bsky.social has found that after ULEZ was introduced, children’s lungs grew faster in Central London and have now caught up with children outside of the capital. Incredible.

Air pollution stunts children’s lung growth. New Queen Mary research found that improvements in air quality after the introduction of London’s ULEZ are associated with accelerated lung growth in children. Read more: shorturl.at/Jx86o

What going on with the express and Badenoch complaining about water companies, they were supporting the massive greed, pollution of rivers and lakes, sewage in the sea and loss of billions of gallons of water while increasing consumer prices

As the oil prices have dropped below $80 a barrel, I expect that petrol prices will drop as quickly as they went up, given how keen the oil companies are to show they aren’t ghouls out to bleed everyone and the planet dry.

This has nailed it. The instant gratification generation wants everything all at once with zero consequences, nothing else is acceptable.

They have absolutely no idea how things work. And yes. The entitlement is off the scale. “I don’t want to join the EU unless it’s tomorrow.” Banning X takes two weeks? “Too late. It doesn’t count.” Two child cap? “You should have done it before you were born.”!!! And on. And on.

Without any sense of irony this is the front page of the express. Do they honestly believe that Paul Terry is happy with the politics the Express is supporting in the UK is aligned with his actions to free the UK and the world in the 1940’s?

As Trump talks of a “deal” with Iran (most likely an unconditional surrender by Trump) oil has dropped to closer to $90. Guessing Trump has done the insider trading deals for now.

Brilliant to see Lewis taking P2 in Canada and passing Verstappen around the outside of T1 along the way. He’s been outstanding all weekend and was deservedly driver of the day. His best Grand Prix result for Ferrari. Hope he can maintain this form! #F1 #CanadianGP

Just had the joy of rejecting a car from cinch. Plugged my diagnostics in and it showed over 50 errors. Why do car dealers think it’s acceptable to sell cars with electronic faults?

Starmer has struck a trade deal with six Gulf states, something the Tories could never get over the line. The deal will offer £3.7bn worth of opportunities for exporters, double the original estimates, in the food, luxury car, defence, aerospace, hospitality industries & other services.

Arsenal have won their first premiership title in 22 years. This happens because Starmer a life long arsenal supporter, has been in power.
