@ccpwillbanu @Heccles94 Old system - people who actually pay taxes and pay for their houses, pay more for people on £100k a year who don’t want to buy a house and instead sponge off others.

@Heccles94 Old System: Councils build houses and rent them at affordable rates.
Present system: You Build 'affordable housing' . People with a lot of money (Landlords) buy them. Then they rent them to people with very little money at
un-affordable rates.
English
“Without Landlords you would have no houses”
Nope, you still have houses, just no landlords…

@judeinlondon It’s always nice to see mentally retarded individuals being allowed out to post drivel, so they can be incarcerated again having proven how much of a moron they are and why they should be kept in a straitjacket.

I think private rents should be capped at social housing rates.
£160 - 1 bed
£240 - 2 bed
£300 - 3 bed
£400 - 4 bed
£500 - 5 bed
Doing this would save billions in housing benefit, disincentivise B2L properties, freeing up homes for 1st time buyers and adjust the market
Mr Spontaneous With The Vibes@real_amos
Do you think these are good rates? Minimum wage doesn’t even cover the monthly payment
English
@Heccles94 Okay, so let’s cut the number down going to university to 15% a year as it used to be
English
Most graduates aren’t on 100k a year.
Nurses graduate with 50-60k debt and are on 30k a year.
Abolish tuition fees.
Luke Charters MP@lukejcr
I’m an MP with a Plan 2 student loan myself, so I know exactly how millions feel about interest rates. Capping them at 6% is a clear signal: Labour is on the side of hardworking graduates and is tackling the cost of living head-on. 💪
English
@DuncanStott Graduates havent contributed much to the economy in their entire life. Amd you don’t want to pay anything ?
English
Pensioners get 4.8% added to their state benefits.
Graduates get 6% added to their debt.
It's not exactly subtle what they're doing.
Good Morning Britain@GMB
More than 12 million pensioners will see their state pension rise 4.8% today under the triple lock. But the government has been accused of doing too little for working-age households so is it time to scrap the triple lock?
English
@FionaParker66 And now few will bother to employ anyone else. Explain to your kids why they are unemployable.

Labour is, has always been and always will be the party of the working class 🌹 🌹 🌹
Paul Nowak@nowak_paul
Today millions will get sick pay for the first time, and from day one Paternity leave from day one Ending the two-child benefit cap will lift hundreds of thousands of kids out of poverty. Union campaigning & a Labour government making a difference. Progress made. More needed.

@justaphag6 @podcastandrei You are obviously too shit to get one. Nobody will give people like you a job.

Remember that you could cut welfare spending ENTIRELY by 15% if you didn’t give pensions to millionaires.
MTZ@Tobeech
Welfare spending has overtaken tax revenue for the first time in UK history. The Treasury raised £331bn in income tax last year, while the state spent £333bn on welfare.
English
@justaphag6 @ChiefPieEater The select few ? You mean my children i work to support and not your crotch spawn you want others to pay for ?
English
@ChiefPieEater put it back into the system so everyone can benefit. not the select few children and grandchildren of the elite.
English
@lukerobertblack Wrong. Pensions are a payment which you get if you make payments for about 50 years. It’s not a benefit but a paid for entitlement.
English
Wrong. The state pension is a social security benefit paid for by today’s working population. It is funded by general taxation.
No one has “paid into” a pot. Comes out the DWP budget like all other benefits
Russell Quirk@russellquirk
You mean state pension? That’s not a ‘benefit’. It’s a right, paid into for decades by working people.
English
@annaroseridgway Bollocks.
Pensions are effectively paid for by 40 years of contributions ao are not a ‘benefit’.
You dont ask people to pay for 40 years and then tell them they can’t have their pension and instead give it to the people who didnt bother to save.
English
25% of pensioners are millionaires. 55% of welfare spending goes on pensioners.
Why don’t we:
1) means test the state pension, millionaires don’t need benefits.
2) increase the amount we give to the pensioners who need it the most.
3) stop the unsustainable triple lock.
English
@Pepper64780244 @PrimroseViews @Clainy6 That’s from the same people who moan fhe State Pension is too low.
English
@PrimroseViews @Clainy6 I’m really keen to understand what people would replace the triple lock with or are they just having no increase forever?
English
@AndyMcDonaldMP And less money for those actually having to work to pay for it.
English
Minimum wage rates go up this week, giving a pay rise to 2.7 million people.
Money in your pocket, thanks to a Labour Government and the New Deal for Working People. 💷➡️👖

@BrianMcHugh2011 @LordBalthazar85 @ret_ward Show me an economically competent climate scientist then. Economics is a big part of the puzzle which climate change idiots ignore.
English
@LordBalthazar85 @ret_ward It's really not. You are claiming to know more than leading climate scientists.
When asked for a smidgeon of your expertise, you can't.
Thank you for saving my time.

@BrianMcHugh2011 @ret_ward That’s because they talk shit so they get it thrown back at them.

@ret_ward It's noticeable on this platform that those who argue for Net Zero as a necessary path are targeted and bombarded with nonsense

@Andy03556233560 @catmomo1498286 @JRB___2 @blaiklockBP They don’t live on benefits you bell end. They live in pensions that they have paid the price of entry to receive.

Over-55 homeowners have £3.4 trillion of property wealth.
£321,213 per household.
76% have no mortgage.
1.6% of under 40's own a house with no mortgage.
English
@JRB___2 @blaiklockBP So you think someone working for a few years should have more money than those who worked and saved for five decades No wonder people call you thick.
English
@blaiklockBP Absolutely horrific stats. Young people have been betrayed by older generations for the sake of preserving their wealth.
