@BBCNews Oh dear. The easy life seems under threat at long last. The NHS and the defence of our country are much higher priorities.

Why are both BBC News and Sky News currently broadcasting Farage's speech live. They don't cover Ed Davey's speeches live and the LibDems have 10 times the number of MPs that Reform do. 🤬

Who was the manager at the time you first started supporting the club? 👇

@BBCBreaking So who do you think that penalty ultimately hurts most? The customers!

@MartinSLewis Why not use income tax rate as a test? Basic rate payers and below qualify. All higher rate payers don't. What's complicated about that?

Very pleased to just hear the Prime Minister has just said he wants more state pensioners to get Winter Fuel Payments (WFP) and they will work out what they're doing in time for the budget. As I've said since day one, there are two main problems with the way the means testing of WFP was done 1. The threshold is too low. Most need earn under £11,800/yr to get it. That's an extremely low income when typical energy bills are £1,800/yr 2. Using Pension Credit, a benefit that has been known to be critically underclaimed for years, as the mechanism to prove eligibility is flawed. It leads to, on govts own figures, 700,000 of the poorest and most vulnerable pensioners, people who have total income below £11,800/yr missing out. The issue that complicates WFP means testing is it's a household not individual payment. I have suggested to the Chancellor in the past that an imperfect but speedily workable solution would be to give WFP to all pensioners who are on pension credit or in homes that are council tax bands A to C. Hopefully they now have time to fix this frankly unpopular mess, that came from a rush job, and come up with something that works effectively for more people for the coming winter.

@BrettMendoza_ Consistency is key for me. He shows positive personality attributes sometimes. There is no i in team for me. A successful team is bigger than its constituent parts.

@DavidSheph20472 He does show leadership. Newcastle away in cup, Forest penalty shoot out I agree he comes across as a bit of a that sometimes, but he is an important part of this squad and a brilliant player too

It's mad some are right him off as not that good. We've got better replacements etc 40 goal involvements in 70 games is a great return. More premier league goals and assists this season than last. And in the big key match moments, he usually delivers.

A highly ungentlemanly and totally unnecessary response by NF.

@Jamestaylor2 @MartinSLewis @BBCr4today The cheats/frauds need to be weeded out.

Thank you to @MartinSLewis for raising #DisabilityBenefits on @BBCr4today “(These cuts) will cause pain and the government need to be aware of that” bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/li…

It's about CHOICE. Everyone who can, should be able to choose when they end THEIR OWN life. End of...

Totally agree.

James Milner? He was finished, as a player, before he even arrived at Brighton!

This terrible news. The UK press must reman sacrosanct to the UK.

@HowThingsWork_ A fine of at least £1k pp plus the full cost of all reparations and costs.

Environmental activists spraying paint over a Yacht in Ibiza. What should a realistic punishment be for this? 🤔

Actions speak louder than words.

A huge strategic own goal. Labour should not have launched their first attack on the most vulnerable, ie pensioners and the disabled. Start with the rich fat cats.

@Keir_Starmer Agree, but we have to stop the big public memorials and focus more on building international relationships for posterity very soon imo. At the latest, when the last WW2 sutvivor passes.

We owe a debt of gratitude to those prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice for our country. That's why we are giving veterans better access to housing, employment, health and welfare support. As we celebrate VE Day, we honour all those who have served in our armed forces.
