@TCL_Brand I shall be on an airplane for the entire match and after recent results am ok with that- getting painful to watch 😩

European nights, quarter-final energy. Arsenal go head-to-head with Lisbon, chasing one more step towards greatness. Who's taking the win?

@UniteSharon @calliebh Unite really needs to back away from this government and quickly

It beggars belief that anyone thinks the answer to the #NHS's problems is fewer staff and more managers. These job losses will see women and BAME staff hit hardest as they are the ones furthest down the pay scales. Unite will continue to pressure the government to invest properly in our health service and not make the system and the service worse by cutting roles.

@TheGriftReport Bollocks - jabs all the way - why deny it ?

This Morning star Alison Hammond has dropped a staggering 11 stone, going from 30 stone at her heaviest. The secret? She ditched her “childish mentality” around food after a pre-diabetes scare (her mum had Type 2). Her favourite treat, toffees, is now limited to just a couple a day. Sweets and fatty foods are gone. She’s had a personal trainer for five years, does Reformer Pilates and boxing, and now eats everything in moderation. She claims it was NOT weight-loss jabs. 👀 thoughts?

@overlandertheb1 But when did it all become about insurance!! People always challenged shoplifters and the police prosecuted - the whole fecking world is turned upside down 😡

Waitrose's insurers will simply not accept employees being allowed to brawl with shoplifters. It's almost always about insurance in the end.

@CPAGUK Or Fags instead of Rollies Deliveroo Pizza every night for dinner Another couple of pints in the pub More money sent home abroad Sky and Netflix And the list goes on

Today the two-child limit is gone. Parents have told us what this means for their kids: A first-ever birthday party for a 10-year-old Better quality food Clothes that aren't completely worn out Going on the school trip without getting into debt A new mattress Swimming lessons

@Dan4Barnet What do we get if we report benefit cheats? PIP recipients who clearly are not disabled? Do we get 30% of the benefits we save you ?

As we enter the new tax year, here's a reminder of the action this government is taking to go after those who take people's money but don't pay the tax they owe: 💥 Supersizing our reward scheme for people who report serious tax avoidance or evasion to HMRC. Informants could get 30% of any additional revenue HMRC receives. 💥 Cracking down on umbrella companies used to underpay tax by extending liability further up the supply chain. 💥 Introducing a new power to ban abusive tax schemes immediately, bypassing convoluted court processes. 💥 Blocking promoters of tax avoidance from accessing essential banking and social media services. 💥 Simplifying the process for issuing penalties to those who set up tax schemes without disclosing them to HMRC. 💥 Boosting HMRC powers to eliminate fraud within the Construction Industry Scheme.

Why do young people blame the older generation for all their problems? Housing, jobs etc. I honestly don’t know wtf this latest shit is all about. Last week tax the rich, this week kill all the boomers ffs 🤦‍♀️

@JamesgerardFos2 @BenedictSpence Last week tax the rich - this week turn young against old - it’s a left wing agenda

@mrsaverage1 @BenedictSpence It seems to be a concerted effort on many fronts, I wonder who is really behind it.??

Pensioners may wish to consider that responding to working people’s struggles with contempt and vitriol, as evidenced in the replies, might not be a great long-term strategy if they want to keep their benefits.

@lukejcr wtf! We always had maternity leave - utter codswallop

Imagine holding your newborn child. And being told you have to go straight back to work, simply because you’ve just started a new job. That ends today. For all those hardworking parents who were denied those first precious days: Labour has delivered day one parental leave.

@annaroseridgway What in your opinion counts as a millionaire ? Should we all sell up our homes? Should we move into smaller properties, hence taking them away from first time buyers? Or should we all kill ourselves ?

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.

@RachelReevesMP Good grief they really do seem proud of the mess we are in 🤦‍♀️

Minimum wage rising 📈 State pension increasing 💷 Two child limit abolished 🏡 Child poverty falling 📉 Rights at work strengthened 💪🏻 Labour promised change. We are delivering change. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Didn’t take long to go from tax the super-rich to scrap the State pension and forcibly remove granny from her house where she’s lived most of her life. Political discourse is nuts at the moment.

@KavsKc1 @lsrlinda @IsabelOakeshott @InvictaRegina So tempting isn’t it? Wondering if we should ALL just do it!

@IsabelOakeshott @InvictaRegina There is a lovely Waitrose in our village. Good to know I can just get my fillet steaks and single malt whisky every weekend from now on and just walk out without paying. It will save me a fortune.

IN an extraordinarily stupid statement, Waitrose has just declared its stores are effectively a free-for-all. The company has publicly confirmed staff are told not to tackle shoplifters. How do they think this feeble policy will lead to less theft??

@JamesgerardFos2 @BenedictSpence Honestly really like him normally, not sure why he suddenly hates the elderly and thinks we are all millionaires 🤦‍♀️

@mrsaverage1 @BenedictSpence Hacked, bought or smoking crack. Once had a bit of respect for this lad.

@drhingram Honestly I admit I’m starting to get tempted!! Why should I not only be queuing and paying BUT overpaying to compensate for losses due to stealing. I am actually starting to feel like a mug 😡

Walked past my local Waitrose this morning and imagined what it would be like if all the pensioners decided one day to shoplift en masse to force a policy change. Bad people get away with bad behaviour because good people always toe the line.

@54JohnBull This is my situation - if we sold and bought a two bedroom after fees and expenses we’d be left with circa 60k so not really worth it

This post is spot on. My old mother has a 4 bedroom house and wouldn't mind something smaller. A decent 2 bed in her area would still cost at least £400k, plus £10k in stamp duty. There is little incentive for her to move.

To be clear, I want young people to have homes & work & fantastic lives. I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t. But this hatred of older people is not acceptable. And it IS hatred. Pure venom I have no idea where it came from but it will not end well, for anyone Change course.

@MatthewStadlen But Starmers friendship with Mandelson doesn’t? 🤔

Nigel Farage’s judgement in being “friends” with Trump surely disqualifies him from becoming Prime Minister?

@SandyofSuffolk @linmeitalks @ReemAmirIbrahim She’s just a troll 🧌 not worth the effort x

@linmeitalks Are you vying with @ReemAmirIbrahim for the title of most entitled whining b1tch on X?

There are boomers sitting in large houses who don’t even want to free up equity or sell their house to help their own children get on the ladder. This is the level of selfishness we are dealing with. Thank god for parents like my mother She would sell her house in Tottenham tomorrow if it meant helping me…. And I would do anything to make her life comfortable- that’s what family is about. An eco system of giving. These days many boomers don’t want to help with grandchildren or finacial assistance and children don’t want to help their parents - so much selfishness between recent generations and it will get worse.
