This you, Fred? 👀

BetFred may claim to have only made £500,000 in profits last year... but they had revenue of over £1 billion, and the owners' personal wealth grew by £500m.

They can find the money for the gambling tax.

Sorry, but this was weird and very chilling.... and not because a young husband has just been tragically killed.

These people know nothing but escalation, division and hate in every circumstance.

Our equivalent is the thorougly dignified Brendan Cox. That's who I'll be thinking of today.

Sky News says police are "overwhelmed by the numbers". Met coped perfectly well with 2x as many at the pro-Gaza rally, 5x as many at the anti-Brexit march, and 15x as many at London Pride.

They're not overwhelmed by the numbers. They're overwhelmed by the ratio of violent thugs in those numbers.

Brexit was a referendum on whether the UK should leave the European Union.

The UK has left the European Union. Referendum fulfilled.

If the people bleating about "Brexit Betrayal" wanted the Referendum to enshrine their pet policy preferences, they should have included them in the question.

Just a reminder, the EU has been operating a naval mission in the seas around Yemen to keep freedom of navigation open "at great cost" since 2008. A number of non-EU countries have contributed, including Ukraine... not the US though. I guess you could call that American free-loading. eunavfor.eu

The solution here is Simple’s.
Either
A) describe bird flu a ‘hoax’ and just use your own eggs
Or
B) blame Biden for the price hike
”Finland can’t solve the US egg crisis”

The US has asked at least Finland, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands for eggs amid the growing bird flu-induced egg shortage in the US. Responses have been rather lukewarm.

The audacity of first imposing tariffs and then asking for help is kinda pathetic
