@TfL please can I get this refunded? It's impossible to contact you!!

A young man or woman making their way in life, out of university, with a reasonable job is getting taxed SO much - particularly including the student loan repayments. 9% of their income over a fairly low threshold. 9%! All to just feed the interest... NI, income tax, student loan, council tax, VAT? Dividend and corporation tax, if they feel brave enough to start their own business. Ridiculous transport costs, especially on the trains into London. Madness. Stamp duty, if they can get a deposit together... That's a big enough challenge in itself. Renting is brutal. Just burning money, paying someone else's mortgage off. Meanwhile - wages stagnate, rents climb, and inflation eats what little disposable income they have left. It's a scam. A total scam. Britain punishes the people who do everything right. Study hard, work hard, pay their way. While rewarding a system that squanders their money and gives nothing back. Is it surprise so many are simply leaving Britain? The welfare bill is suffocating productive Britain. Why should young working Brits fund families who can't be bothered to work? All whilst they feel financially unprepared to have children themselves? Let's ban foreigners from benefits, reinstate the two child cap, scrap interest on student loans, and eviscerate the welfare bill in order to slash tax for working Brits.

@elonmusk The EU has done nothing for Europe other than oversee its downfall.

How long before the EU is gone? AbolishTheEU

@SBRLX81 To the tune of tequila by terror vision Matusiwa, he makes me happy Matusiwa, he's looking fine Matusiwa's got a massive tackle Matusiwa he's our number 5 The third line may need work.

Can someone base a chant for Matusiwa on Macarena? It would be class. 😂 #itfc 🚜

@Keir_Starmer Idiot. Higher labour cost will be passed on to customers - raising prices. You're just making it worse. Get out.

From April, we're raising the National Living Wage and National Minimum Wage. The cost of living is the number one issue people are facing, with too many struggling to make ends meet. I am determined to tackle it.

@IsabelOakeshott The GE date is just before the euro quarters, England will still be in the tournament, national spirits will be at an all time high, so will the FTSE. People out on the streets enjoying the long summer evenings. Positive employment data. Plays right into the little fellas hands

The REAL reason Sunak panicked into calling a snap election will come out very shortly

@ScottAdamsSays The UK was a good test case, just ask @trussliz .

No one who is good at math thinks our national debt crisis can be solved through normal business. We won't solve it by cutting expenses, shrinking government the way Argentina is, inflation, or growing GDP. We are waaaaaay beyond that. Your leaders are not telling you.

@jeremycorbyn If you end arms supply to Israel, the Jewish people will be wiped out in the middle east. Iran will walk through, take the holy land and create a Shia caliphate. Regional war will then break out between Sunnis and Shias. Shias will win and start their advancement west.

More than 34,000 people have been killed in Gaza. Instead of ending arms to Israel, governments around the world are trying to silence voices for peace. They cannot hide their role in genocide — and we will keep speaking up for the people of Palestine.

@jeremycorbyn There was a ceasefire on October 6th.

Millions of us have been calling for a ceasefire to stop the loss of life and prevent a wider conflict. Political leaders have chosen to ignore us — and their failure to facilitate de-escalation has endangered everyone. The world is in a truly perilous state. It’s time to listen to the voices of ordinary people across the globe desperate for peace. We must keep speaking out for a permanent ceasefire, for the equal application of international law, and for the only route out of this cycle of violence: an end to the occupation of Palestine.

Gazans rightly put the blame of their suffering squarely on Hamas.

@ScottAdamsSays 5:40 Luis Robeldo telling us exactly how he made it across

This only ends one way.

@Epic_Curios @Rainmaker1973 By number. A better metric would be by calories or volume.

@VivekGRamaswamy This just proves that Vivek is in it for power, not for his principles. Trump will make him his VP, embarrass him and destroy his career like he did his last VP.

@metpoliceuk What did the met police do before this lot were protesting every weekend?

Londoners will see a significant policing presence this weekend as the first significant protests of 2024 take place. Tomorrow there will be a march organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and others. It will set off from Bank junction at around midday, proceeding along Fleet Street and Victoria Embankment and finishing in Parliament Square. On Sunday a static rally in support of Israel will take place in Trafalgar Square from 2.30pm. 🧵🔽 news.met.police.uk/news/met-annou…

Dear Palestinians For more than 120 years,  you’ve been trying to get rid of the Jews in the Middle East. To borrow a phrase from Dr. Phil: “How’s that working out for you?” Let’s consider the answer. 1/25
