@ReemAmirIbrahim Explain what you mean here.
This isn’t a black and white argument.
Therefore, I need to understand what it is exactly you’re saying.
Is the benchmark here £1m i.e. anyone over this sell your house?

Why should young people have to pay for someone else’s retirement?
If you live in a million pound house, and you can’t afford to retire, sell the house. Or don’t. I don’t care. You just can’t expect young people to pay for you!
Sophie Corcoran@sophielouisecc
No. I don’t think pensioners should have to sell their houses to retire
English
@TheHughAnthony What about the 75% who aren’t… do we just ignore those people.
English
Reminder that 1/4 of pensioners live in houses worth over a 1 million pounds.
The average age for being able to buy a house in the 60s was 23 to 24 years old, with house prices on average being around £2.5k.
It is now 33-34 years old with average house prices being £268k.

There was a time when how a man spoke, dressed, and carried himself mattered.
This is The Ways of a Gentleman.
I write about bringing those standards back through culture, etiquette, and timeless values.
Give me a follow if you believe these standards are worth preserving.

@ReemAmirIbrahim @DeBarsham So we ignore the 75% who are not?
English
@DeBarsham 25% of pensioners are millionaires. Many are not living on the state pension. The state pension is a nice top-up that they spend on an extra holiday lol.
English
State pension: £146 billion
Asylum seeker hotels: £2.1 billion

Young people Pensioners getting a pension they can live off of after working their whole damn lives - is not an attack on us It is the hotel dwellers and those that can’t be arsed to work - that we have to pay for that are the problem That is the actual unfairness here

@DavidMcGregorBN Minimum wage is not the goal.
Every win here, is passed onto the consumer.
It perpetually inflates.
Energy bills have been cut for who exactly?

@ukhomeoffice Tremendous.
A good day for democracy.
Now please fix the organised crime of phone thefts for accessing peoples banks and emptying.

Police time will no longer be wasted investigating legal social media posts, freeing up officers to patrol the streets and tackle real crime.
By scrapping Non‑Crime Hate Incidents, we are balancing the protection of vulnerable communities while respecting free speech.

NYC Mayor Mamdani unveils free childcare for all government employees, calling it a major support boost for working families.
“It will be 100% FREE!!”

@linmeitalks True.
The only thing that is lacking is a plan.
Is the plan to reintroduce Steel works?
How do you bind the ‘man’ together - what are the new chains?
What were ultimately missing here is work. We need more work.

One thing The Green Party is good at is emotive emotional connection.
They didn’t put any other group down, they weren’t hateful in the ad. They didn’t try to divide…He just told his story and within that story he spoke of togetherness and unity.
Isn’t that what Britain should be doing right now… coming together?

Superb political ad. One of the best you’ll see. This is better, and resonates more, than anything coming from Labour or the Tories.

We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing.
We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work. – The Sora Team

@NotFarLeftAtAll The hypocrisy of this man and the party is insufferable.

Lovable just replaced your entire startup toolkit.
Founders used to need:
> Figma for design
> Canva for assets
> Excel for data
> PowerPoint for decks
> CapCut for video
Now they need one prompt in @Lovable.
Decks, animations, reports, websites, full web apps built from a single input.
The startup tool stack is dead.

@HJB_News__ They are there to disrupt and destroy.
It was the plan.

Parents shut down Zara store in Bristol yesterday after viral videos show a gang of black youth tormenting and attacking a lone white girl.
The staff, instead of helping her, forced her outside where she was beaten up by the feral scum.

This was the typical quality speaker in the commons up until only a generation or two ago. No notes, either. A verbal essay.
Note Lammy et al just laughing. That’s how far we’ve fallen. They don’t care for any of it.
