FFS. Felt like one of the Polish pilots in the Battle of Britain film while on a helpline call, repeat please, repeat please, repeat please. The only thing worse than an AI helpline is an Indian call centre!

Fucks sake! When the company you use for your accounts software tells you that you have to switch to a new app, then completely fuck up the migration, so paid invoices are showing as unpaid, invoices since 2024 are not showing, and you can’t send a new one, you pour a whisky!

‘Cash in’?!? Surely her experience being an utterly shit chancellor is only worth about £1.20?!?
🚨 NEW: Rachel Reeves is rumoured to quit as an MP to "cash in" on her experience as Chancellor It comes after she "secretly met" two City companies in the last fortnight [@MillardClothier]

The last two years the clock has gone back to the late 70’s, so this clown needs to pipe down!

I think this is due to a massive fail by the council(s) by tarmaccing right up to the trunks of the trees that are within the pavements.
⚠️ Traffic Alert: Another large tree has blown down in Southend and is blocking part of a road. The tree has come down on Prittlewell Chase, at the corner of Southbourne Grove. Southend City Council will need to arrange for tree contractors to attend to remove the tree.

So due to the continued incompetence from the Labour led Southend Council failing to meet housing targets for years, it appears that the government is now stepping in and forcing a huge swathe of green belt land to be turned to concrete for houses. Destruction of green belt

land for houses that there is no infrastructure to support. In an area where the sewage is dumped into the Thames on a regular basis without the extra strain on the infrastructure being added. This development that was supported by the leader of the council, but it was voted

out by cross party opposition. So this government intervention result would seem to be the exact one he wanted. Rat!

This would be the second correct decision he has made since the coup!

Won’t be the first time France has supplied the Argies with weapons, like just before the 82 invasion. Then refused to supply Britain with the technical data that could’ve neutralised the Exocet missiles that killed 46 service personnel, 18% of the total British Military losses

When the time comes @wesstreeting and his cohort can lead the charge!
So war within 1000 days. But our armed forces can’t train because there’s no money. We hardly have any navy, our army is stretched thin, our airforce is protecting a Middle Eastern country. What’s he going to do, raise a Fyrd?!?

No Rayner, it was a fucking lie!
Speaking with Anne McElvoy, Housing Secretary Angela Rayner says Labour’s promise at the last general election to build 1.5 million new homes was “always a stretch target”

So yet more debt for local councils, awesome work @andyburnham, but then with the £1.34bn of debt you left Greater Manchester I guess you think that’s just normal. Just another step towards the country being declared bankrupt!
🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham has announced Mayors will have access to a £1.5bn "borrowing facility" from 2028 to increase innovation locally
