This is the warning on the blood pressure monitor my dad just got.

Exceptional work. Anybody know what the fuck it’s supposed to mean?

Last line is especially ominous

The Tories oversaw the degradation of UK gas storage capacity - 2010 to 2017.

Thatcher privatised the gas and oil industry - 1982 to 1986.

Thatcher closed the collieries - 1986 to 1991.

This woman is an idiot - 1960 to 2026

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

Excellent.

I think western influencers need to be clear about why they seem to be posting messages that so closely align to a coordinated campaign by the autocratic UAE leadership.

Trump’s illegal war is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills for British families.

This visit should not go ahead.

I've never had the opportunity to partake of the fine cuisine at Spud-U-Like Clacton, but I know for certain I'd enjoy it infinitely more than dining at Trump's gaudy residence.

Here's Farage full of self importance a day before he flew talking about his big trip at a Guido event.

I wonder if that slightly dismissive throw away remark made its way to the president.

Or whether Trump now grasps that Farage has zero influence on UK policy.

But, rather than receiving a formal
invite to meet Trump, Farage was in
fact invited to Mar-a-Lago by a
member of the club, according to
multiple people briefed on the matter


They said Farage had hoped he would
be able to catch Trump for a
conversation as the US president was
scheduled to travel to Mar-a-Lago that
evening. However, Trump had a
change in his itinerary and decided to
stay instead in Doral, about an hour`s
drive away


The Reform leader's failure to secure
an audience with the US president
underscores a weakening of ties
between the two populist leaders who
famously formed a close friendship in
the vears before and after the 2016

Massive humiliation for Farage, who tipped off the UK press that he was flying to Florida to have dinner with Trump... only for Trump to decide he had more interesting things to do when Nigel arrived.

If I understood their policy correctly, you're only allowed to free to your closest safe country, which for Iran definitely includes the UAE. I'm sure she'll be proud to use some of the money she would have paid in tax to make sure they settle in safely.

No doubt she would welcome refugees to Dubai. Think it is Reform policy refugees should be near to their home country.

Trump is insulting all those, including British families, worried about his illegal war driving up their energy bills.

Enough is enough. Keir Starmer must show Trump the UK won’t be pushed around and call off the King’s state visit.

Cor, sure would feel great right now if we were self-sufficient in renewable energy, and laughing at all the rubes reliant on global oil supplies. We'd have a bit of a swagger in our step today.
