@NotFarLeftAtAll Why do all women in the Green Party have pink hair 🤔

This is Kate. She is a British Green Party election candidate this May. Kate says we should 'abolish all prisons'. Thoughts?

@MikeTappTweets Let’s see how proud you are after the locals in May

I couldn’t be more proud to be serving in Keir Starmer’s Government. This is exactly the leadership our country needs in uncertain times. 🇬🇧🇬🇧

@THemingford @KevCarFixer He is the product of the people that voted for him same as this Labour government is the product of the people that voted this shit show in

@KevCarFixer Another product of Thatcher right there.

The cause of so many of the UK's problems today trace back to one person.

@triffic_stuff_ He is lying We had high prices before Trump bombed Iran

🚨STARMER BLASTS TRUMP: IT’S TRUMP’S FAULT UK FAMILIES HAVE SKY HIGH ENERGY BILLS! 😳 Prime Minister Points Finger Directly At Us President For Punishing British Households With Wild And Soaring Price Swings Whoa! Keir Starmer has taken the gloves off completely and is now openly blaming President Donald Trump, alongside Putin, for the sky-high and fluctuating energy bills hammering UK families and businesses. Speaking during his Gulf visit as oil prices surged above $110 a barrel amid escalating Middle East tensions and Trump’s strong rhetoric, the Prime Minister unleashed his frustration at global leaders he claims are causing the chaos. “I’m fed up with the fact that families across the country see their bills go up and down on energy, businesses bills go up and down on energy because of the actions of Putin or Trump across the world,” Starmer declared. This provocative swipe escalates transatlantic tensions, but critics are pointing to Starmer’s net zero obsession, refusal to allow new North Sea drilling, and heavy green taxes have left Britain dangerously reliant on volatile imports, making UK energy prices among the highest in the world regardless of international events.

@jessgill03 Sorry Mr Nobody who are you

@jessgill03 What do you think boomers did we saved we cut back we did not get chunks of money given to us by family to help buy our homes we had low earnings high mortgage interest. Last 10 yrs have had high wages and low mortgage interest. It’s not our fault you can’t buy

Too many boomers have this really toxic assumption that young people are unable to afford a house because they’re lazy and don’t work hard. Most young people I know are working full time specialised jobs, having the majority of their salary swallowed by renting (despite it being a flatshare) taxes and cost of living. It’s almost impossible for young people nowadays, without the help of their family, to afford a house. And then they get blamed for having a Netflix subscription or getting the odd takeaway as if saving that £300 a year would let them afford a £20,000 deposit.

@FFS_WhatNow Sound right to me. Set up your own trans sports events and build it up competitively competing against other trans

"I just got an email. Apparently, I just got retired. Not by choice, but because I am no longer allowed to compete, the DRA decided that trans women are no longer allowed in women's events." You're free to play in the open event with the men.

@albieamankona I have 2 friends who lived and paid tax in UK then moved to Jersey when they neared age 65 they were offered a two thirds pension if they paid £3000 to their NI to bring their contributions up. So tell me how NI is only a tax not a pension contribution

Nobody has a “RIGHT” to a state pension. It is a benefit paid for by the tax payers at the time you receive the benefit and it is subject to the same checks, balances and affordability criteria as every other benefit provided by the state. Whoever told you national insurance was invested in a personal pension pot for you, lied. It’s a tax, like income tax, VAT et al.

@NotFarLeftAtAll No change there then 🤥

Keir Starmer's sister says when Keir was at school he was that one kid that just constantly told ridiculous lies that no one believed

@miriam_cates Is it the new fashion to attack pensioners this system worked for YOUR grandparents it’s your turn to make it work for us if you need to make cuts start with foreign aid then the workShy the illegal immigrants civil servants pay/pensions MP’s pensions SORTED

“It’s as if a form of wilful blindness has taken hold of some on the right, preventing them from seeing the state pension for what it has become – a universal basic income for those over a certain age.”

@OliverJBradshaw You make it sound like we conceived the pension but we did what all the governments told us pay in and get a pension so we did and I do think your Gen are entitled lots of you do not have jobs don’t want jobs our Gen had more than one job just pay your way and shut it

This weekend, boomers have been calling my generation entitled, ungrateful, and straight up lazy for questioning the state pension triple lock. Apart from a barrage of playground insults, the same old arguments kept coming: “We paid in our time,” “It’s your turn now,” “Just move somewhere cheaper,” “16% of you lot are out of work,” and “Stop buying coffee and going out.” Here’s the nasty truth they conveniently ignore. You talk about a fair “pay-it-forward” deal. But back when you worked, there were roughly five workers per pensioner. Today it’s 3.6. By the time we retire, it’ll be closer to 2.5. You had far more people sharing the load. That contract got stretched thin on our backs. You say you worked harder, faced 15% mortgages, had no luxuries, and Uni was basically free. Interest rates were brutal, sure. But you bought houses for 3-4 times your wages. Ours cost 8-10 times or more. Over-60s now hold 55% of the country’s entire housing wealth, nearly £3.84 trillion, mostly mortgage-free. Many of you enjoyed full mortgage interest tax relief (MIRAS) until 2000. We pay sky-high rents with zero tax relief while real wages have barely grown against inflation for 15 years. My generation was sold a lie, study hard, get the degree, land the good job, buy the house, pay your National Insurance, and the system will look after you. I know friends and colleagues who followed that script to the letter, straight-A students, graduate schemes, full time work from day one. Now in their late twenties, they’re still renting, saddled with £50k+ in loans, watching every spare pound vanish into rent and bills, while being called “entitled” for noticing the numbers don’t add up. “Just buy a house somewhere cheaper!” Sure, in towns where property is dirt cheap and jobs are non existent. Good careers don’t magically appear out of thin air. That advice is pure fantasy. “Just cut back on coffee and nights out”? As if skipping a £4 latte can magically fund a house deposit when homes cost 8-10 times our wages. Our money has far less purchasing power than yours ever did. We spend nearly 30% of our income on housing (up from 20% twenty years ago), and under-30s households devote 70% of their budget to essentials versus just 56% for over-65s. We’re not splashing on luxuries, we don’t want to live like hermits just to scrape by, and nor should we have to. You throw out the 16% youth unemployment rate for 16-24 year olds and call us bone idle. That’s not laziness, it’s a brutal job market. Job vacancies have tanked. We’re stuck in retail and hospitality roles that get cut first when times are tough, five times more likely to be on zero-hours contracts. Nearly a million of us (12.8%) are NEET simply because the jobs don't exist. Many of us are already paying National Insurance from the first insecure job we have, yet we’re still expected to bankroll your guaranteed above inflation rises. Work in Britain no long pays. The state pension already costs £138 billion a year, the second biggest single expense after the NHS. The triple lock alone will add £15.5 billion extra every year by 2030, three times the original forecast. Pension spending is heading from ~5% of GDP toward 7.7% in the coming decades, with more than half the extra burden coming directly from the triple lock itself. Waste exists elsewhere and public-sector pensions are far too generous, but this locked in, exploding cost is the elephant in the room, and they all need reviewing. I’m not pitting generations against each other or begrudging anyone a dignified retirement. But the system you defend hands one generation guaranteed rises no matter what the economy does, while the shrinking number of us paying the bill gets saddled with a heavier and heavier bag. I’m not against pensioners. I’m against a policy that’s mathematically doomed and dumps the heaviest load on fewer and fewer contributors. The truly entitled position is demanding a blank cheque forever while slapping down facts as “division” or “whining” or pretending our small treats are the problem. So go ahead, tell me exactly where I’m wrong. But this time skip the playground insults calling me and my generation entitled and lazy. I’m done being polite about a system that screws my generation while you demand a blank cheque.

@linmeitalks Do you mean mean tested

It should be means tested!

@Skint_Eastwood1 I don’t know if Zack is male or female but he is definitely a dick

🚨It’s Bullsh*t, Complete Bullsh*t” – Piers Morgan DESTROYS Zack Polanski in HEATED “Woman Can Have a P*nis” Debate In a fiery exchange on Piers Morgan Uncensored, the Green Party’s Zack Polanski insisted that a woman can have a p*nis and claimed that people are not born male or female. Piers: “Can a woman have a p*nis?” Zack: “Yes.” Piers Morgan repeatedly pressed him on the point, eventually declaring: “There is not a cat in hell’s chance of you becoming Prime Minister if you don’t know what a woman is.”

@hol40900 We have one of the lowest pensions in the western world and you make it sound like we are getting too much I would say that the government is spending to much on other countries on benefits on illegal immigrants start on them before you pick on the retired of this country

12 million pensioners just got a 4.8% rise, paid for by £12bn in working-age welfare cuts. The triple lock's annual cost is set to explode to £15.5bn by 2030. So the young pay, the old vote. That's not a pension; it's a pyramid scheme.

@Clainy6 I was not a labour policy get your fact right

I hope all the pensioners on here who constantly slag-off Labour and how bad their policies are. WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING THE NEW STATE PENSION RISE TODAY. I mean they don't want to be hypocrites DO THEY !!

@RHHassall Ret’d does that stand for retarded 🤔

You've obviously never heard of a prime minister called Boris Johnson, you great dickhead! 😂😂🤣

@TrisOsborneMP Who is paying for this largess

Minimum wage rising 📈 State pension increasing 💷 Two child limit abolished 🏡 Child poverty falling 📉 Rights at work strengthened 💪🏻 Renewable energy ⚡️ Labour promised change. We are delivering change.

@GarethDavies007 Ffs 🙈 poor man

Colin has been married to Yasmin Alibi-Brown since 1990 Imagine being Colin

@PhilMyers53 @Keir_Starmer Your all on X today can’t you give us a break from your endless propaganda

The Tories originally voted against the national minimum wage Under @Keir_Starmer, two million people have just been awarded a pay rise! #VoteLabour on 7th May

@piersmorgan Can’t agree with you on this I think we are going to regret allowing so many Islamist in our country they are now entering local and our UK government and it will change our way of life as we know it

We have barely any gun crime, and are not standing on the edge of any Islamist abyss. Other than that, spot on. 👍
