Are you looking for a thread on the trade deal between the UK and India and the lies some people are telling about it, from a cat? If so, you're weird but in the right place...

Yesterday the UK and India announced a new free trade agreement, which it s estimated will add £5bn a year to the UK economy

gov.uk/government/new…
India has the largest population of any country on Earth, is currently the fifth largest economy and is forecast to have the third largest by 2028. A free trade agreement means Indian consumers can buy more UK products without the tariffs that Donald Trump is so keen on. Americans are looking on enviously
amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/05/06…
The deal has been signed after years of negotiations between the countries, including lots of work by the previous Conservative government. Former Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden recognised that yesterday:

That cheeky scamp Nigel Farage and his Reform bros have got themselves into another pickle - incredibly this one involves Islamist terrorists being allowed to return to the UK. Image
The sorry state of affairs begins with an interview with ITV's @harry_horton where Nige got splinters in his backside from sitting on the fence so rigidly. You can watch the exchange for yourself here:
As you can see and hear, Farage agrees that our government needs to consider the issue of Islamic State terrorists returning to the UK. Which seems weird given his view on this has been clear in the past: "We shouldn’t let anyone back in this country who is an enemy of all the values we stand for,” he stated unreservedly in 2019

On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me, a partridge in a pear tree.
Ate it. Image
On the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.
Ate them. Two turtle doves, shortly before being devoured by a hungry cat
On the third day of Christmas my true love sent to me, three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.
Ate them. Oh-la-la. Image

I want to tell you a story about an old man, with a silly name and ridiculous hair, who was born in New York, became a media personality and then a right wing politician. 🧵
He told a lot of lies. So many lies. That many lies that he doesn't actually recognise the truth anymore and nor do many of his supporters. Needless to say he's had multiple failed marriages having had numerous affairs.
His handling of the pandemic meant a lot more people died than should have done. He's not very healthy so ended up in hospital when he caught covid and only then did he seem to realise how serious it was.

Today an early release scheme has begun which will see some offenders released from UK prisons after 40% of their sentence rather than 50%. This policy is in reaction to the current prison population almost surpassing the current prison capacity.
bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
This regretful step is necessary because prison capacity hasn't been increased to meet the UK's requirements. This is a good piece from 2023 explaining how and why the Conservative government failed to deliver the required prison places
amp.theguardian.com/society/2023/s…

Why am I tweeting about this? Two reasons, it's good to understand why it's happening so those responsible can be held accountable and we can avoid the same mistakes - the new Prisons minister @JamesTCobbler has only been in the job a matter of weeks; he's certainly not to blame but he's responsible for ensuring the situation improves and it looks like he plans to do that in part by reducing reoffending

As a high profile cat I've suddenly had messages warning me about Haitians eating pet cats in Ohio. This seemed weird so I assumed it was something to do with the Trump campaign; sure enough:
So what's the actual story? There was an incident last month were a woman was arrested for allegedly killing a cat and eating it. Her name is Allexis Telia Ferrell. There's no evidence she's Haitian, just that she's from Canton in Ohio and is a registered voter
kptv.com/2024/08/21/wom…
So how has that horrible incident resulted in people tweeting me saying that Haitians are eating house pets? The short answer is that right wing accounts are falsely telling people that. These pieces have good details on the specific accounts
