@Suffragent_ My God. What planet is she living on? Anyone with the slightest understanding of economics knows that open borders condemns working people to poverty.

"Diversity is our greatest strength," says Rachel Reeves. “Jim Ratcliffe's comments were unacceptable and do not represent modern Britain. Nobody wants less immigration." 🇬🇧

@StandUpForTrmp Megalomaniac halfwit. Hands off Greenland. Uk should slam tariffs on US exports if US does it.

DESCRIBE PRESIDENT TRUMP USING ONLY ONE WORD…

@euromove Are you blind? Those FBs in Brussels have been screwing us rotten for the past 25 years. That is why we now have a massive trade deficit with the EU, most of it suffered when we were in the SM. In 2000 our trade was broadly in balance.

@zarahsultana Most are a figment of your imagination.

Fascists aren’t welcome in our streets. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever.

@narindertweets @AntiRacismDay Correct. Very few people are racist. However they fear for their jobs, displacement, culture amd laws. The most stable countries in the world have one single dominant culture together with full employment amd housing.

There's gotta be around 50,000 ppl here. The vast majority of Britain says NO to racism and a big middle finger to Robinson and Farage @AntiRacismDay

@narindertweets @CamillaTominey @KirstieMAllsopp Look at staff turnover rates, Naurinder. They will tell you the rate for the job. Very low and they are adequately paid already. Focus increases on those genuinely underpaid so we get better staff stability in the public sector.

Imagine sneering at the people who haul themselves out of bed at 3am to keep a city moving, when the hardest shift they've ever done is from the sofa to the studio. Nauseating privilege @CamillaTominey @KirstieMAllsopp Give your heads a wobble

@implausibleblog @Keir_Starmer Nothing right-wing about improving efficiency, though a table of funding per patient would also be relevant, perhaps by ailment and age.

@Keir_Starmer Pointless PR exercise Your swing to the right is a disgrace

Every patient in this country deserves the best possible care. That’s why we're launching NHS league tables, ranking every trust in England. Delivering on our promise to drive up standards in our health service. Our Plan for Change in action.

@Iromg We all knew he is bonkers. Now he has confirmed it once again.

Absolute plank…

@narindertweets As usual you are making it up. Yes PIPs should be cut as they are self-assessed payments for medical conditions. At least some of the savings should be used to provide them with the medical and social support they actually need.

I mean seriously...how can you defend this?

So, the Greens have found themselves a new Big Mouth. To join all the other useless BMs we have in politics. Quote: Water companies are pushing up prices IN ORDER TO pump more sewage into our rivers. So how is he going to modernise the industry? Silence.

The Pope seems very confused. In what way does paying money to Mauritius in any way help Chagossians displaced by the building of the base help them return? The money should go to Chagos not Mauritius which is hundreds of miles away.

@LukePollard Not wise with prices rising.

Interest rates have now been cut five times in a row since Labour was elected in July last year. Labour is returning stability to the UK economy. 🌹🇬🇧

@BestForBritain @RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret Not much of an answer. Brexit has not done any harm at all. We have simply failed to capitalise on it.

@snb19692 Not surprised. They screwed us before and would like to again.

Most people in France, Germany, Italy and Spain would support UK rejoining EU, poll finds! So what's the delay then? 😀 theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

@Wokewaster @ukipwebmaster In the private sector support staff payroll is seldom more than 25% of total. NHS should enforce the same.

The starting salary for a qualified nurse in the NHS is 31k pa Or you can be a ‘Diversity tsar’ in the NHS for £250,000 pa The NHS isn’t broke - It’s Broken

@zarahsultana That’s not very polite. Or accurate.

In 2029, the choice will be stark: Socialism or barbarism.

@DanielPriestley Agreed. It would make more sense to exclude private businesses and family farms as IHT, but tax legacies in the hands of beneficiaries with same reliefs. Tax is payable on withdrawals or sale.

To be crystal clear - if the UK implements a wealth tax I am leaving. It is completely unmanageable as an entrepreneur to pay tax on unrealised gains. Any entrepreneur trying to raise money on an equity valuation puts themselves and their investors in danger of a massive tax bill based on the theoretical/unrealised value of the business. It also tips the risk-to-reward ratio of building a business in the UK out of kilter. It makes the prospect of building wealth in the UK so much worse than anywhere else. Leaving the UK is not hard for a digital business. It will be harder to find the right house and school than to move my business abroad. If I leave, the amount of tax I pay in the UK will drop to zero. Once I move, it's unlikely I'd be back for a long time - so all future earnings, spending, employment and capital gains would be out of the UK.

@JeremyVineOn5 Foreigners should only be able to claim any benefits against insurance bought by their sponsor on arrival.

Should foreigners be banned from claiming disability benefits? That's what Tory leader Kemi Badenoch is suggesting. Benefits claims by households with at least one foreign national have doubled to nearly £1 billion a month. Is this ban necessary, or is it cruel?

@MarkVipond @sandieshoes @ZiaYusufUK It would be better to add one child tax credit to every adult UC to remove completely the incentive to procreate and close the dual welfare function at the Treasury. That way a two parent two child family no worse off and existing large stay on old system.

@ZiaYusufUK So why is Reform proposing to remove the two-child welfare cap, leaving hardworking parents having to subsidise people like this? Now that *is* silly.

Politicians in this country have made people playing by the rules feel silly.
