By the next GE Farage will be gone, he will stand down. Why, because he will now be held to account, his attendance in Clacton his voting record. He will have to work for the next five years. He will make excuses always has, but now he has to deliver something he has never done.

@ScaryEurope Game changer only four PMs have been born outside the UK and two was Ireland. Muppet.

🚨🇬🇧BREAKING ALERT: NІGЕL FАRАGЕ has just unveiled a massive game-changing bill that could redefine exactly who is eligible to lead Brіtаіn. His rаdіcаl proposal would legally restrict the office of Prіmе Mіnіstеr and all seats in Pаrlіаmеnt only to those born on Brіtіsh soil. It is a ruthless but bold move meant to secure leaders with an unbreakable, lifelong bond to the nation's founding values. Do you think Brіtаіn's highest leadership should be strictly locked to those born in the UK? Is this the ultimate solution to safeguard the homeland, or does it cross the line? Drop your thoughts and join the massive debate right now!

@JamesMille16848 @ukboomers @SymondsSally It's a parody account.

@ukboomers @SymondsSally Let’s hope you both pass away sooner rather than later then he don’t have to be mocked no more and gets all his inheritance Clueless

The other day we were on a cruise and our grandson rang asking for a bit of money. He's just started at the NHS full time, earns £28,000 a year. That's what we paid for our house. I said love, if you're earning a whole house a year and still struggling, that's not a money problem, that's a discipline problem. I'd help but I'm afraid of spoiling the boy. Our neighbour David was a doctor for 35 years, never complained once. Five rental properties now. Lovely man. I just hope the boy sorts his finances out. If we keep bailing them out they'll never learn

@albieamankona The stupid is strong in this one.

For every £1 boomers pay in tax, they will receive £1.20 in benefits. The state pension should be scrapped. No ifs, no buts, scrapped.

@DominicMcGregor Grow up and grow a pair, you are clueless when you reach pension age 30k will only be the same as today's pension. You are being mugged by today's politicians who will retire on gold plated pensions whilst you will work till you drop.

I’m 32 years old and I want to change the state pension. With the triple lock, based on historical growth (4.5%) when I reach my pension age. The state pension will be £30,100 a year. This would account for £512bn a year. The current government budget is 1.2Trn. This would be 3x the current NHS budget. The triple lock is unsustainable. Now the debate, no one is saying that pensioners shouldn’t recieve support. That goes without saying. But there shouldn’t be a non-means tested, non contribution based pension which gives everyone blanket support. Especially when you consider 1 in 4 of over 60 years are asset millionaires. My view is, we need to have a means tested only state pension. Which is reassessed every 3 years. There is no “pot” people pay into, national insurance is just a tax - there is no ring fenced fund for a state pension. It comes directly from taxation ever annum. Without changes like this, young people will suffer while older people - who receive their pension and political protection because they actively vote - will continue to have a glorious quality of life.

@justaphag6 The stupid is big in this one.

I think it’s time we had a serious conversation about the poor planning of the generations before us. Those who tell us to cut back on coffees, holidays and meals out, should have done so themselves for the past 50 working years to save for their retirement. Sell your mansions.

@CrowdControl2k8 @linmeitalks No it does not if you sell your main property not tax is applied.

@linmeitalks If sell a 500k home and buy another for 200k that means I have 300k in cash. That 300k will be hit by 40% tax. I will only have £180k to distribute. Say I have 2 kids that's 90k each. THEY TOO WILL PAY 40% on that 90k and left with 36k each. So, 300k turns into just £72k.

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.

@linmeitalks Why do you think you are entitled to a penny of your parents money or assets. Why should they even consider selling there house. You are an adult get on with your life and let them. The only selfish person is you.

@MattGubba @x_J_E_M_x Only driven by politicians testing the water, what policies gets them votes. Issue of the triple lock and state pension only comes up when inflation is high. Nobody gave a toss for the ten years before Ukraine low interest rates low inflation. Pension stagnated Nobody cared.

@x_J_E_M_x Yes, it’s a shame. Some serious vitriol being thrown about at the moment.

There’s a lot of anger right now between young and old over pensions. Young people say it’s unfair. Older people say they’ve earned it. Both are right. And both are blaming the wrong people. The real problem isn’t pensioners. And it isn’t young people either. It’s the system. Let’s be honest. It is FAR harder to get on the property ladder today than it was in the 90s and early 2000s. Not because of interest rates. But because of access to credit. Before 2008: 100% mortgages. Sometimes even 110%. Minimal checks. Easy approvals. That’s what let people get on the ladder. It also helped push prices to insane levels. Now? Huge deposits. Strict income checks. Low borrowing limits. The drawbridge has been pulled up. No amount of “skip Netflix and coffee” is getting someone on £38k onto the ladder in the South East. That argument is nonsense. But forcing pensioners to sell their homes after a lifetime of work? That’s just as wrong. So we end up with both sides fighting each other… While the real issue goes untouched. There are only two ways out: More access to credit Or lower house prices (Or both) And here’s the uncomfortable truth no one wants to say: More people = more demand More demand = higher prices If we don’t deal with that, nothing changes. Blaming each other won’t fix this. Fixing the system will.

@montie Rubbish Farage was not standing at the last election until he realised what a cash cow it is. He is only interested in two things dividing people and making money out of it.

He can't leave his house without security. Despite credible death threats and being physically attacked on multiple occasions by morally fake, love-not-hate lefties he carries on. Already wealthy, famous and successful he could be enjoying his retirement now. He carries on because he hates what the Tories and Labour have done to our country and he is building a movement and party to reverse it. Happy birthday @Nigel_Farage! May God keep you safe 🙏

@LoftusSteve Bet you do not work in the public sector.

A super easy place to start with pension reform. If you get a public sector pension above £20,000 per annum you lose your state pension. This is easy for the Gov to track and should be phased in gradually so it's £20k for 2040.

Glad he is not the Manager

@Nigel_Farage @TheSun Firstly, I had no idea what was on the back of a fiver. Secondly, I can’t remember the last time I even saw one. Thirdly, I don’t care. What matters to me is the state of the country, whereas all that seems to matter to you is money and how much you can make Mr Cameo

New polling in @TheSun shows Brits of every age group want to keep Winston Churchill on the £5 note.

@huggan_anas Your name should be Anas Hole

@thecarolemalone They have they are putting animals on now starting with your impression of a horse.

The woke Bank of England bosses dropped Churchill from our banknotes because they’re ashamed of him and our history. Shame on them express.co.uk/news/uk/218199…

@IsabelOakeshott @TfL @policylaila Sod off to Dubai then.

THE tube. Saturday morning. Nobody seemed bothered. I tried to help this person. They were alive but dead to the world. No ⁦@TfL⁩ staff anywhere. London -amazing city; awful decline @policylaila

@Lea_EFC I am a Forest supporter and I would have screamed blue murderer for a penalty, so why did they not give it. Watch nothing but Harlands head on the shot from behind he changes his focus from the ball to Sels then his right leg goes towards Sel, so I think they he played for it.

This has to be the worst decision of the whole Premier League season imo ✅ Haaland beats Sels to the ball ✅ Haaland attempts to go around Sels ✅ Sels brings down Haaland ❌ No penalty The PGMOL are practically handing Arsenal the title 🤝

@henjohansen1 @forestmad80 To be fare I did a predictor a three weeks ago and that was my result, in general when you are in a relegation battle most teams don't move much from the positions and points could be +/- 4 points. At the moment i have Spurs safe but based on current form they could go down.

@nffc1966 @forestmad80 So CP will only get two more points? 😅

One question, one word answer. Do we stay up? Yes or no… #NFFC

@DanielChukwunw @forestmad80 Finish just above us 45 points

@nffc1966 @forestmad80 Spurs?
