People do realise the current £2 #buscap was due to end in December. It was always due to rise, under the last government, it's great incentive but not financially viable long-term unfortunately. Its a "Cap" not all fares will reach that. So it's not a complete 50% increase. – at Brighton, England

I’ve actually witnessed people on here confidently stating that Jeremy Clarkson, a 64 year old man and ex smoker who smoked 40 cigarettes a day for 43 years, had to have heart surgery because he’s had the Covid vaccination. Never underestimate the stupidity on this website.

The biggest problems for #HS2 was underestimating costs, a typical issue in UK construction it seems. And the ridiculous shallow tunnels to appease the NIMBYs! – at Brighton, England

What happened to Nigel the fisherman’s friend? Reform UK haven’t mentioned the fishing industry once since entering parliament. Remember - when he was an MEP, Nigel Farage only turned up to one of 42 EU fisheries committee meetings.

Taylor Swift had escorts in other UK cities because of a risk to her life and terrorism threats. This constant pantomime from the right wing press is so fucking tedious. Just shut up you ugly, boring, gutter dwelling morons.

The most common word for Boris Johnson apparently was “Liar”. Unsurprising, given he’s the best documented liar in UK history. And here he is at it again. Here’s why the £350M line on the bus was a lie - it said: “We send the EU £350 million a week”. We never did. Because that’s the gross bill before the rebate (discount) that lowered that cost. So we actually “sent” them much less money - around £250M per week on average. If you buy a TV priced at £350 RRP, but discounted to £250 - then you never actually pay £350 for it and you would be wrong to claim to your family that you can take it back to the shop to get £350 cash back to go spend on something else in a different shop. It’s a straight-up lie.

Johnson tells LBC he has no donors paying for his suits…”you're on a perfectly good salary from the government anyway. And, you know, that looks greedy, right?” He must have forgotten a donor paid for his post No10 accommodation, his wedding and food deliveries to No10

Another Covid-era scandal emerges: Excalibur Healthcare, once awarded £160m in Covid contracts, has collapsed into liquidation with £22m owed to the taxpayer. Shady dealings, unpaid bills, and failed deliveries of PPE and ventilators expose another chapter of Covid-era profiteering. Investigations by HMRC and forensic accountants are underway.
