@MartinSLewis It’s like they’re raising an issue that everyone will want fixing, gets everyone on their side believing they will fix it, then do nothing about it if they actually have power. Same process over and over with different issues.

You're right. I've been campaigning on this since 2007. Council tax (Eng&Scot) is STILL based on a flawed stop-gap valuation done by driving by homes in 2nd gear in 1991. The system is broken.
YET when I've asked about it, all parties, incl yours, have shied away from any change

A £24,000,000 mansion in London pays LESS property tax than a £240,000 pebble-dash semi in Lancashire. Council Tax is a joke. Let’s sort this out.

@pythaginboots Last thing he needed was a pile on, but you put out this post, back him, don’t criticise every average performance, he didn’t cost United today. He had a chance but Van de Ven made an incredible challenge. This post is just to pile pressure on and get attention. Do better.
English

Unfortunately Sesko cost Manchester United that result today.
Game was set up for him to bring it home, all the hard work done... just needed him to be precise and clinical as Spurs desperately searched for the equaliser.
His lack of aggressive confidence in the openings he got allowed Spurs to get back into the game with more vigour as they lacked the fear United were going to hurt them.
Shame as the last thing the lad needed was more of a 'pile on'... but that performance will get called out.

Didn’t deserve that… thought #mufc were the better team…. Basically lost to Stoke… 3 things I take from that.. Bruno doesn’t work as an 8, we need a new keeper… and Ugarte is absolute toss…

@FootyAccums A lot back handers and brown envelopes been passed about for this.

@uk_sf_writer @ZiaYusufUK @BernardMowle This doesn’t specify Kent though, so what if Kent is only 1% less? Would this be acceptable?

@ZiaYusufUK @BernardMowle In response to those saying WFH doesn't affect productivity:
".. productivity is way down. The public sector is 8% less efficient than in pre-Covid 2019, which means the taxpayer now pays more for less across a broad front of public services ..." Andrew Neil 21/5/25.

Kent County Council spends £100,000,000 of taxpayer money per year on employees that ‘work from home’.
Reform’s DOGE team spent several days there and the office was a wasteland.
Nobody working.
The CEO says these employees have monitoring software on their laptops but she does not “actively check” whether their employees are using them.
Kent Council is refusing point blank any analysis of the (anonymised) data.
I wonder why?
There is much, much more to reveal about just how much Kent Council is taking advantage of taxpayers.

@TheOldMan2003 @ZiaYusufUK @ramonagusta @Kent_cc @reformparty_uk @piersmorgan @CBItweets @CityAM @FT Is email traffic a sign of production? I can do lots in a day and send less than 10 emails. There’s a thing called teams now that has reduced internal emails.
English

@ZiaYusufUK @ramonagusta Mate of mine reviewed email traffic in and out of his firm amongst other things, On a Friday of those that wfh
He found a 60% reduction. That went up massively on the Monday
No surprise really. Why not do the same?

@MagsMagnoona888 @ZiaYusufUK So you don’t check to see if he’s lying?

@ZiaYusufUK So no one checks on these people to make sure are actually working?!

@benonwine Anyone who can’t tell this is AI, shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Simple as that.

@WilliamHill Lukaku left in 2019, and has been at Chelsea since then, what about all the other players that have left and won nothing?

@The_Forty_Four So wrong, you don’t get guard of honours for winning cups. Awful

@LeilaniDowding @KingBobIIV Not true though is it, it’s from a tv show

@KingBobIIV What a surprise they keep showing british men as perpetrators of crimes where statistically they aren’t
English

London Council has released a video showing a white man sexually abusing a black woman on public transport. It’s the same pattern we’ve seen before—crimes that, statistically, white British men are far less likely to commit are being deliberately misrepresented. Netflix’s Adolescence did the same when it turned a real-life case of a black boy stabbing a girl to death into a white boy doing the stabbing. It’s happening over and over again.
This isn’t about attacking ethnic minorities. It’s about accuracy. Either these adverts and films are made to warn and educate, in which case they should reflect reality, or they’re being made just to demonise a particular group. There’s no point pretending these are crime prevention campaigns if they’re pushing an entirely false picture.
In London, 56% of arrests involve ethnic minorities, despite them making up 46% of the population. Per capita, ethnic minority men are 1.5 times more likely to be arrested than white men. Knife crime, gang crime, sexual assaults—official figures show white British men are far less likely to be responsible. Yet, in media and advertising, they’re almost always cast as the villains.
This is about fairness. People should not be unfairly targeted in crime prevention campaigns—whoever they are. If a warning is meant to protect the public, it should be based on who is actually committing the crime, not on a narrative designed to shift blame.

@horseracerating @louloulou252 @LBC @TomSwarbrick1 If he’s earning in collectively 6-7k a month, I’m sure there are people much worse off than him. He may have a really bad condition, but if he’s earning a significant amount, should he rely on PIP regularly to fund therapy.
English

@DeanWedgner @louloulou252 @LBC @TomSwarbrick1 But we had no context as to how bad his condition was in the clip.
English

‘Why should the taxpayer pay for your therapy when you’re earning?’
@TomSwarbrick1 speaks to caller Daniel, who explains why he relies on PIP to help live with ADHD and autism.
English

@louloulou252 @LBC @TomSwarbrick1 But surely that’s the reason he’s picked them, he isn’t the average person and probably shouldn’t get PIP to pay for his therapy, when that would be better going to someone else, or spent elsewhere. How many others are like this?
English

@LBC @TomSwarbrick1 Have you spoken with someone who cannot work because of their disability? Or can only work part time? This is not a typical person who claims PIP. Your producer picked him due to that. In the past week LBC have also argued that ADHD is a scam. Until it happens to you though...

@lukesellers98 The youth team and women’s team won’t generate enough revenue to keep it running, should United pay to keep two 75k + stadiums running? Imagine how much that would cost.
English

Notice that our actual stadium isn’t there. Meaning no plans to keep it for the youth & women’s teams. Joke.

@markgoldbridge It’s his definition, doesn’t mean it’s right or wrong, stop pushing any thing they say into some negative. Just because you don’t agree with everything or anything they say. You’re an idiot.

Says the guy who had a season ticket at Chelsea....I'd also say any fan who's been getting up at 4am on other side of the world for the last few years to watch this shit is pretty damn faithful too.
(fan) Frank 🧠🇾🇪@FrankEra_
🚨🗣️ - Sir Jim Ratcliffe on the definition of a faithful supporter: "Faithful supporters are the supporters who've got a season ticket, and they go to the games. "And the faithful supporter is the guy who's got a season ticket, he goes to the top six games, but he also goes to see the other games as well. "He doesn't just pick the top three games and then sell his ticket on to somebody else for the other games. In my view, that's a proper supporter."

@UnitedStandMUFC Fuck off with your agenda, pushing every negative angle you can find, change doesn’t happen overnight!
English


@UnitedStandMUFC Once the glazers are gone, can you go also? One of the worst things to happen to the club in recent years is how much you push the negativity and agendas for clicks, and claiming you love Utd when you chose Utd for your business because it would make you the most money.
