@GMB What a load of rubbish, why don't parents look after their own children instead of schools doing it for them

Almost half of parents are deciding which primary school to send their child to, based on whether or not they offer free breakfast. More than 3.4 million households do not have enough money for food according to charities, and the government is now planning to extend its provision of free breakfast clubs. @NickDixonITV reports.

@GMB Best thing the Beckham,s did was go to America. Its a shame we still see them on TV and in the papers

Victoria Beckham’s song Not Such An Innocent Girl has hit number one in the iTunes chart. Following the family fallout after eldest son Brooklyn accused his parents of controlling behaviour, could this surprise success be good for Brand Beckham?

@GMB No child should live in poverty but there parents should put their children first instead of buying new phones/cars etc .

The Chancellor has defended her decision to scrap the two-child limit on benefits, telling Good Morning Britain that all children deserve a "fulfilling life" regardless of "however many brothers and sisters" they have. Rachel Reeves said that many of the families receiving handouts were, in her words, "working incredibly hard". @LouisaJamesITV reports.

@GMB What a load of rubbish in the 1970s we went to school in 5ft of snow and nobody winged about it

With weather warnings across the country, the Trades Union Congress has said that, because of the risk and difficulty of commuting, workers should be able to work from home in the snowy weather. Should companies let staff work from home when it snows?

@GMB Definitely, people who turn up at A&E with none emergency problems should be charged and so should people who get drunk.

Should those turning up with non-urgent problems be charged a fee? New figures this morning show millions of people have gone to A&E for minor illnesses over the past five years, piling pressure on already overstretched NHS hospitals and services. Dr Alka Patel and Pharmacist, Thorrun Govind debate.

@GMB Should have gotten life

Paul Doyle, who drove at crowds "in a rage" ploughing into more than 130 people at Liverpool FC's victory parade, has been jailed for 21 years and six months. But is his sentence too harsh?

@GMB I think it's disgusting that junior doctors are always striking if they aren't happy then get a different job. They knew what the pay is when they trained

The Health Secretary is accusing doctors preparing to go on strike of 'playing games with people's lives' as flu admissions rocket. Should the resident doctors scrap their strike?

@GMB @SwainITV I can't remember a day of my secondary school where i wasn't called names and that was from my best friend who still is my best friend. Its about time this country looked forward not backwards

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has publicly denied that he ever - in his words - "directly racially abused anybody". It follows allegations that he made racist and antisemitic remarks while he was a schoolboy. @SwainITV reports.

@GMB @leicesterliz Renewable energy is a load of rubbish wind farms only last ten years then they have to go in land fill as they are not recyclable. The batteries for electric cars goes half way round the world in desiel powered vehicles before they even go in a car

'We need to listen very carefully to our scientific experts,' says @leicesterliz. She's asked how she would ensure that people are kept safe in future pandemics and emergencies.

@GMB @alexburghart I'm sorry to everyone who lost friends and family during the covid pandemic but I really don't think what ever the government did it would be wrong and with the amount of people who said it wasn't real. Let's put it behind us and hope it never happens again

'I don't recognise that description of what was happening in no. 10,' says Conservative MP and Deputy Opposition Leader @alexburghart. He worked alongside Boris Johnson as Parliamentary Private Secretary during the Pandemic.

@GMB @susannareid100 If people want more than two children then they should pay for them not the state

Former PM Gordon Brown is calling to 'totally abolish' the two-child benefit cap. He talks to @susannareid100 and Richard about his proposal of a gambling tax to fight child poverty.

@GMB @kategarraway I have never seen such a rude person in my life just another load of lies. We need to get labour out

@GMB @MelJStride Another crook running our country

'Rachel Reeves is in the market for blaming anybody other than herself for the terrible state the economy is in,' says @MelJStride. This comes as the chancellor has confirmed both tax rises and spending cuts are options in November's Budget.

@GMB We have two houses being converted to children homes and no one in the village knows anything about it

The Housing Secretary Steve Reed is promising more measures to help businesses, as he puts it, “build, baby build”. He is bringing forward plans to speed up the approval of new water reservoirs and onshore wind farms as a part of a shake up of planning laws. The new powers would allow ministers to prevent applications being rejected by local councils or stalled in judicial reviews. Critics say the move will have a devastating impact on local communities and that everyone will become vulnerable to huge developments on their doorsteps. @swainitv with more.

@GMB Why are all these warehouses and distribution centres being built and not a solar panel in sight surely that would be better than taking up farm land, its just another mess that this government has done

@GMB @susannareid100 Well done Susanna that put Rachel Reeves on the backfoot she looked like a rabbit in head lights 👏

'Can you rule out increasing VAT?' @susannareid100 challenges Chancellor Rachel Reeves to answer the question about whether VAT will increase when she announces the Autumn budget.

@GMB Well this government is only interested in looking after illegal imagrants and not there own

The UK risks failing injured veterans, that's the warning from the charity Help for Heroes, who say inconsistencies in the medical discharge process are letting down almost half of the service personnel who leave the Armed Forces due to injury or illness every year. Veterans say they feel discarded and struggle to access employment, housing, and healthcare. @polly_bartlett reports.

@GMB If you can't afford them you shouldn't have them

An SNP MP has posed a ten-minute rule motion in Parliament today calling for the removal of the two-child benefit cap. This could cost £3.5 billion, which would potentially reduce child poverty.  But is it time to lift the benefit cap?

@GMB @Anna_Firth @KevinCraigUK Kevin Craig is a complete idiot to support Starmer he needs to go and should not get the £160,000 or what ever it is now because he was pm. The whole labour party needs to go

Opposition MPs have questioned the Prime Minister's integrity after several members of his party have left just over a year in Government. Does Sir Keir Starmer prioritise his party over the country? Former Conservative MP @Anna_Firth and Labour activist @KevinCraigUK debate.

@GMB Enver Solomon talks a load of rubbish why should we have asylum seekers walking free on our streets. They should all be deported when they arrive

The Government is appealing a ruling that blocked asylum seekers from being housed in an Essex hotel. This morning, the Refugee Council says all hotels should close within six months, warning they’re costly and risk fuelling community tensions. 'Where would they go?' Chief Executive of the Refugee Council Enver Solomon shares details of a potential solution.
