@ZackPolanski Europe cant defend itself.. look at ukraine. Europe is in rapid decline. Our defence capability is massively under funded, under staffed, and incapabable of defending itself.

The last 24 hours have shown what many have said for a long time.
Britain's role as an accomplice to Trump's America must end.
We must urgently decouple from a rogue US & seek security with allies closer to home. That starts with suspension of the US bombers on British soil.

@Keir_Starmer You allow far worse behaviour on a daily basis.. theres no consistency with this goverment.

Kanye West should never have been invited to headline Wireless.
This government stands firmly with the Jewish community, and we will not stop in our fight to confront and defeat the poison of antisemitism.
We will always take the action necessary to protect the public and uphold our values.

@justaphag6 And what young kids will buy their million pound houses? How would that even help? People work hard to be succesful.
English
The fact pensioners would rather plunge newborn kids and young children into poverty, instead of selling their million pound houses or stop receiving the state pension when rich, IS BONKERS.
English
@jessgill03 Because no other generations had compassion. Life is hard, always has been, always will be. Work hard, make good decisions and life will be alright
English
@jessgill03 Uni yes.. the degree young people choose is on them. Law, medicine, computer science all guarantee good wages. If some one does a degree with a poor income opportunity thats on them.
English
It’s really strange how some boomers are blaming young people taking “bullshit degrees” for the reason they can’t buy a house when they’re the ones who encouraged that if we wanted to be successful, we should get a degree.
Most 18 year olds are following the advice of their parents and their schools when they go to university - this is system that the boomers set up and now young people are being blamed for it.

@dave60776 Most teams go long and have a big physical striker up top that can hold up the ball. We dont.
English
@I_Scott_This So why can every other team in the championship play forward?
English
It’s crazy how much Marc Leonard is passing forward in this Hearts team. But it’s the players not the manager that’s the problem.

@RachelReevesMP Congrats. In 18 months youve marginally improved the life for less than 1% of people in the uk and made it worse for the other 99%. Thats some record.
English
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.

@ZackPolanski The rest of the world doesnt care about the UK. Stop believing we have any significance on international scale. Also, remind us when you become a specialist in energy?
English
A huge betrayal.
Won't lower bills. Won't give us more energy security. Won't insulate from price shocks.
And sends a clear message to the world that we are backing new oil and gas drilling.

@blaiklockBP Why is that? Goverment have high taxes, high NI, stamp duty. Taxes on banking, property tax, council tax! Regulations on building properties. Its goverments fault no one elses. Downsize goverment, stop ineffecient spending, give power to the people.

Over-55 homeowners have £3.4 trillion of property wealth.
£321,213 per household.
76% have no mortgage.
1.6% of under 40's own a house with no mortgage.

@OliverJBradshaw So young people should be upset with inefficient goverments not fellow citizens that helped build the infrastructure young people enjoy. Goverment taxed the life out of us which drove up prices. Lets reduce goverment and their spending and give the power to the people.
English
“Young people haven’t paid in.”
Absolute rubbish.
Young people today are paying more than ever, higher taxes, higher rents, less job security and unaffordable housing.
And the triple lock? It’s not paid for. It’s debt.
So young people will pay for it now, and will pay again later.
The message is clear. Young people are yet again expected to foot the bill.

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage formally commits to the state pension triple lock if Reform UK win the next election "The people to whom pensions are being paid, certainly compared to a younger generation today, are those who have actually worked and paid into the system"
English
@ReemAmirIbrahim All of the infrastructure you enjoy is paid for by the pensioners hard work, including those millionaires. Theyve earnt their right to be comfortable in retirement.
English
State pension: £146 billion
Asylum seeker hotels: £2.1 billion
Sophie Corcoran@sophielouisecc
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
English
@ReemAmirIbrahim Whats the welfare bill? Might as well scrap that whilst we're at it 🫤

@BCFCBible1875 Looks at the team ahead of us that miss out on promotion this year, and the teams coming down. Next year will be competitive. We have to improve our wingers. Further depth in midfield. Depth at RB, GK.
English
CD has spent about 50/60 million and yet he wants to spend more. A proven manager gets this team top 6 no questions asked.
Giving CD more money isn’t the fix. New gaffer & fresh recruitment team is.
May get slammed, people may agree. But for me, that’s the way forward. #BCFC

It felt very business as usual from Chris Davies at his press conference this afternoon. Davies has been in comms with Knighthead over the break - even discussing transfers - and wants a strong end to Birmingham City's season 🔽 birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football…
English
@andyrt1975 @jaacknffc Yes and thats jacks point, not mine! My point is that birmingham isnt a success story based on statistics and nothing else.
English
@andyrt1975 @jaacknffc No, i moved to a nicer area with a lower crime rate and less traffic. Nothing to do with "right wing" why would you even make that jump?
English
@I_Scott_This @jaacknffc Did you move having become a ‘radical right winger’?
English
@Keir_Starmer Im bored of these statements. Over 18 months in and i havent seen a single thing thats helped me as a working person or made me feel more secure.
English
We will be defined by our ability to stand up for British interests in this volatile world.
To make our country more secure and resilient.
To give working people a fairer deal and deliver more opportunities for their children.

@andyrt1975 @jaacknffc I lived in brum for 35 years and moved 6 months ago. The city has some positives but is mostly failing on every metric. Crime, poverty, homelessness.
English
@jaacknffc Lived in Brum for 16 years and you are very very wrong. Birmingham’s multiculturalism is one of its strengths and a reason it’s such a great city to live in. I only left for work and Forest reasons
