"Britain's future lies with Europe - and one day, back in the European Union."
Former health secretary Wes Streeting says the UK needs a new special relationship with Europe, as he calls Brexit a 'catastrophic mistake'.

The reaction from the British government to the Unite the Kingdom rally has shown everyone who they truly are. They hate their own people.
Labour are finished.
I’ll always champion peaceful protest. But the Unite the Kingdom march organisers are peddling hatred and division.
We’ve already blocked visas for far-right agitators who want to come here to spew their extremist views.
They don't speak for the decent, fair, respectful Britain I know.
@GBPolitcs It is a disgrace how Starmer brandishes our freedom of peaceful protest as extremism but is silent on:
Sep 25 Palestine Action 890 arrests.
Oct 25 Palestine Action 492 arrests.
Aug 25 Notting Hill Carnival 528 arrests.
Oct 22 Just Stop Oil 677 arrests.
LIAR BENEFITS ARE CAPPED
Benefit Cap - How much is the Benefit Cap?
The Benefit Cap is a limit to the total amount in some benefits that working-age people can get.
Last reviewed 29 October 2025
The UK benefit cap is a maximum limit on the total amount of welfare benefits most working-age households can receive. As of April 2026, the cap remains at £423.46 per week (£22,020 per year) outside London for families, or £283.71 (£14,753) for single adults. Higher caps apply in Greater London. [1, 2]
Weekly Benefit Cap Rates (April 2026)
Couples/Lone Parents (Outside London): £423.46 per week
Single Adults (Outside London): £283.71 per week
Couples/Lone Parents (Inside London): £486.98 per week
Single Adults (Inside London): £326.29 per week [1]
Benefits Included in the Cap
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) calculates the cap by adding together most major benefits, including: [1, 2]
Universal Credit
Housing Benefit
Child Benefit and Child Tax Credit
Jobseeker’s Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance (unless in the support group), and Income Support [1, 2, 3]
Exemptions
You are not affected by the cap if you: [1]
Are over State Pension age.
Receive specific disability benefits (e.g., PIP, DLA, ESA Support Group).
Claim Working Tax Credit.
Earn over a certain threshold (e.g., £793 a month in Universal Credit in 2024/25).
Have a 9-month grace period if your earnings were high enough previously.
The Universal Credit taper rate remains at 55%. This means that for every \(£1\) you (or your partner) earn over your Work Allowance, your maximum Universal Credit payment is reduced by 55 pence. [1, 2]
Here is how your earnings are calculated:
1. The Taper Rate
How it works: Your award reduces automatically as your wages go up. If your take-home pay increases by \(£100\), your Universal Credit is reduced by \(£55\).
No Work Allowance: If you do not qualify for a Work Allowance, this deduction applies to any earnings you make. [1, 2, 3]
2. The Work Allowance
If you are eligible, a Work Allowance allows you to earn a certain amount before the 55% taper rate is applied to your Universal Credit. You qualify if you are responsible for a child (or qualifying young person) or if you have a disability or health condition that affects your ability to work. [1, 2]
With housing costs: You can earn up to \(£427\) per month before the taper applies.
Without housing costs: You can earn up to \(£710\) per month before the taper applies. [1]
If a Housing Secretary can underpay £40,000 of stamp duty and not get fined by HMRC, then how could HMRC ever fine anyone else?
Especially as the underpayment was brought to light by the media, not anyone else.
I submitted my tax return to HMRC one day late.
I was fined £100. And I didn't even owe them any tax!
Angela Rayner tried to avoid paying £40,000 stamp duty for nearly a year and could have been fined £8,000 by the HMRC after she recently coughed up the money, (shortly after being gifted £50,000 from a refrigeration company for 'Office Expenses').
She wasn't fined a single penny. No fine. No penalty. No comeback whatsoever.
Is it any wonder that us little folk are getting so pissed off with these freeloading, opportunistic, money grabbing, holier than thou, two faced charlatans?
I welcome HMRC’s conclusion, which has cleared me of any wrongdoing.
I have been exonerated by HMRC of the accusation that I deliberately sought to avoid tax.
When purchasing a home of my own with a mortgage, I did not own any other property and had no personal financial interest in the court-instructed trust set up to manage my son’s financial award. I was advised by experts that I should pay stamp duty at the standard rate.
I set out to pay the correct amount of tax. I took reasonable care and acted in good faith, based on the expert advice I received, and HMRC has accepted this.
I have always sought to act with integrity, and I believe politicians should be held to high standards - that is why I resigned from government and cooperated fully with HMRC.
I wanted to ensure that I paid every penny that I owed, and have done so. I am relieved that my family can now move on - and that I can get on with my job.
If Starmer does go
Mahmood = Islamic takeover
Lammy = reparations and bankruptcy
Streeting = NHS finished
Miliband = insane climate war and bankruptcy
Raynor = bankruptcy as zero clue about anything!
We HAVE to FORCE a GENERAL ELECTION
WE CANNOT HAVE A SINGLE ONE OF THESE UTTER MELTS IN CHARGE!
Keir Starmer, 6th May 2022:
“This is a big turning point for us. We’ve sent a message to the PM. Britain deserves better.”
So when the Tories lost 485 council seats and 11 councils, Boris should resign.
When Labour lose 1,493 council seats and 38 councils, Starmer won’t. 🥴
Keir Starmer, 2020:
“When you lose an election in a democracy, you deserve to.
You don’t look at the electorate and ask them: what were you thinking?
You look at yourself, and ask what were we doing?”
Indeed @Keir_Starmer what are you doing? Just resign.
Let’s be frank, @Keir_Starmer you Lost because we HATE you. We hate you because of Southport. We HATE
you for attacking pensioners and farmers. We HATE you for allowing unvetted illegals of fighting age into U.K. We HATE you for dragging out mass rape inquiry. We just HATE YOU!
Oh it’s brilliant. This is Starmer in 2020
I suggest he watches this on loop
“When you lose an election in a democracy, you deserve to… You don’t look at the electorate and ask them ‘what were you thinking?’ You look at yourself and ask ‘what were we doing?’”
GLORIOUS 🔥
