@LornaBaker1 @ThePujaTeli @MatthewTorbitt @Fantastic @MatthewStadlen I think the word you are looking for is sorry.

@ThePujaTeli @MatthewTorbitt @Fantastic @MatthewStadlen I did long weekend come on without glasses.

Never normally do this but I’d advise anyone to steer clear of @Fantastic cleaners. We’ve had a cleaner since Sharon was pregnant to help out a bit. Their cleaners leave early, last week after only 20 mins as seen on the doorbell footage then refuse to refund and argue the toss.

All the hate Boomers & Gen X are currently copping for having the audacity to have paid tax & NI for years, saved for the future and dare to own homes in areas they enjoy living in. Seemingly we should all give it up for the younger generations who are terribly hard done by 🤷🏻‍♀️

@andy147 @kokeshimum Indeed you do.

@kokeshimum @AliceSLondon House ownership isnt London centric, get more for your money buying elseware

In 1991 35% of 16-24 year olds had a mortgage and bought their own home. Today it’s 1%. And absolutely nothing is being done to fix this.

@lukerobertblack @Stewart09322559 But it seems it’s ok to say Boomers & Gen X should sell up & move to cheaper areas away from family & friends so they don’t have the need to claim a state pension.

@Stewart09322559 So this theoretical graduate (whose parents live in Torquay) should move to a region of the UK that’s even further away?

POV: You are 22. You’ve graduated from Exeter Uni and have a grad job at NatWest in Liv Street. Your parents live in Torquay. You rent a room in a flat share with 5 randoms. If you scrap your premium Netflix, you will save £18.99 a month. Good luck saving for a deposit.

@RachelReevesMP You’re bankrupting the country

Today we are lifting 450,000 children out of poverty with the end of the two-child limit.  This Labour Government is achieving the biggest reduction in child poverty over a Parliament since records began.  Change promised. Change delivered.

@rosie_eats You (& she presumably) also get almost 29% tax payer funded pension contributions vs an average private sector employer contribution of 5%.

My only response to boomer housing discourse is that my nan on her final salary teachers pension gets the same monthly income I get as a teacher on the inner London pay scale

@LBC We had no youth hubs when I was a teenager. We did hang around in gangs in the park & streets. We did not carry knives or steal or threaten old ladies (or anyone). My parents set boundaries for where I could go & when. I abided by them otherwise I would have been punished.

First wave of new youth hubs to open in anti-social behaviour hotspots lbc.co.uk/article/new-yo…

@RachelReevesMP You could deliver a letter to your own home address. You’re absolutely clueless.

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/…

@TheGreenParty supporters in a nutshell instagram.com/reel/DWx-f8ZDq…

@karol You need better friends. I know not one European who would have found that confusing or pointless.

After 9/11 I had European friends confused that we would spend time, money and effort digging up the bodies at Ground Zero. What's the point, they said. But it's what Americans (and, ahem, Israelis) do. We love life, we care about our dead, and we don't leave anyone behind.

@PatrickChristys What do you think 3 or 4 officers can do with regards a mob of goodness knows how many, possibly with knives or other weapons, who are intent on thuggery? Really c’mon.

What is the point of the police just standing there doing nothing?

@ayeshaijazkhan If it’s so great in Iran, why do they choose to live in the UK?

So I was at a cafe in central London today and at a table right behind me were 3 Iranian women. I could hear them conversing in Farsi. Somehow we got up to leave at the same time, and they asked me if I was from Iran. I told them that I was from Pakistan. One said, “Pakistani people are so nice.” I asked them if everything was ok with their families in Iran, and they said, no - the bombing is incessant. We all cursed Netanyahu together and I told them Iran was putting up an impressive fight. They said they were proud of their country. It was a touching moment of solidarity among complete strangers. Specially since at first I thought they may be part of the Pahlavi diaspora. But they were actually genuine Iranians abroad, concerned for their country and family.

@MothinAli Challenged? Not something either you or your loony leader are happy to face yourselves. You celebrated the Hamas atrocities of 7th October. You called a Rabbi an animal. Your party supports violence and terrorism.

He's not going to get a free run anymore, Farage and his band of scam artists are going to be challenged at every step, there is now a credible opposition to the far right! join.greenparty.org.uk

@flyabout7 Congratulations to you all 💕

I have some good news. Something lovely happened today. I became a Grandad for the first time to my beautiful Granddaughter Sophia Rose. Both my daughter and baby Sophia are doing well and to say I’m chuffed is an understatement. ☺️

@lukerobertblack @alan_dvdsn Choices.

@alan_dvdsn What if a young person wants to live in London?

Ah yes - Sandy. A young and aspirational graduate, say, with a job at the Barclays in Canary Wharf, should definitely move a 3-hour commute away from London - to a place where they have no friends, no family and no support network.

@al32302 @Variety It’s disappointing that a woman would come forward making up allegations of abuse. It helps no-one.

@Variety It disappointing that a woman coming forward to report abuse can be made to feel this way.

A judge has thrown out 10 of the 13 claims in Blake Lively’s sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, including allegations of harassment, defamation and conspiracy. He allowed three claims to proceed to a trial, including claims of breach of contract, retaliation and aiding and abetting in retaliation. variety.com/2026/film/news…

@linmeitalks Can I ask why this generation make such poor decisions? Money spent on pointless degrees, money you don’t have frittered away on traveling & buying newest tech. Wanting 4 bed detached “starter homes”. Thinking others should pay for your children. Rethink your expectations.

Can I ask why, if a pensioner has worked all their life, they only have the state pension to rely on? Didn’t decide to save ? Put away for a rainy day ? Sounds like poor planning to me. And yes if your children have flown the nest and you, or you and your spouse are knocking around in a 3 or 4 bedroom house you bought decades ago- SELL it. You’ll have more than enough to live on.

@DroptheAlpha @linmeitalks So she paid in? Good for her. Envy really isn’t an attractive trait.

@AmitKar @linmeitalks Better plan better.

Not to mention , most were defined benefit pensions. This generation and next would never get a state pension of they die before 70-75. Mark my words. And the defined contributory pension means they will be poor unless they put a lot more than 15% ( personal plus employer) . The way stock markets are being manipulated by US powers, the pension pot would never rise the way you think. 400k would mostly get you to 700k in 20 years.and of ofcourse there is AI taking away the junior level jobs that uni grads would have normally gotten into. Things dont look rosy for us and our children
