This is surprisingly true

@RupertLowe10 @lorraine_teuten What about universal basic income? That isn’t reduced by work. This has been proven to be a massive incentive to work.

A Restore Britain Government will strip healthy shirkers of their benefits.

How ridiculous Gimmicks. That’s all it is. Not a solution

'fit note' experiment has been tried & failed. It helps no one, makes illnesses worse, costs £millions & puts lives in danger. An ill person going through an 'assessment' to override a Dr is utterly pathetic. We are the land of assessments by unqualified people & has to stop

I've seen posts saying that Hannah Spencer wasted her question on something petty. MPs drinking at a subsidised bar at work is completely revelant. It's about different rules for the elite. It's about people needing food banks while MPs get discounted alcohol. It's wrong.

Accusing women of "sleeping their way to the top" is admitting that most men abuse their power for s*xual favors. They don't wanna talk about that part though.. it doesn't suit their patriarchal narrative.

WHO: bacon is Group 2A. Possibly carcinogenic. Citizen: what else is in that group. WHO: hot beverages above 65 degrees. Citizen: tea? WHO: yes. Citizen: so my morning cup of tea and my breakfast bacon are in the same cancer category. WHO: technically yes but the public should focus on the bacon. Citizen: why. WHO: we cannot say. Citizen: who funds you. WHO: we cannot say. Citizen: I'm going to have a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea and you can have a quiet sit down.

Remember folks, If you are working and claiming Universal Credit to survive. You're not getting a benefit. You're employer and landlord are.

100% I have

Desperate single mother struggles to feed her only child? She becomes a prostitute. "Desperate" Afghan father struggles to feed his litter of 12 children, imposed on his wife's body because he couldn't control himself? He becomes a pimp — of his own female children.

When disabled claimants mistakenly go over a confusing threshold by a penny, are too unwell to answer the phone, miss a form, or are misunderstood by an assessor, sanctions come fast. But when the DWP f*cks up an entire scheme…

As an MP, I will not comply with Digital ID. I just won't do it, and I hope many millions of British men and women will join me. Send a message to Starmer - share this graphic absolutely everywhere. I will not comply with Digital ID.

We are at this stage of capitalism.

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit. British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit. Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit. It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.

Tesco are making £4bn a year in profit. About 50% of their staff are on Universal Credit. Why don't we crackdown on this unneeded benefit for billionaires?

@dontdelay There are so few now compared to a few years ago. Where I live Tescos have put all the local butchers and greengrocers out of business.

@RED660 Bring back? There’s lots of small businesses selling food They tend to cost more but they’re there if people want them

100% this. Bring back small businesses and remove the greedy conglomerates with ceos’s taking £10million yearly salaries

I have seen a lot of posts and videos in relation to the new MAFS BBC Panorama documentary, essentially asking why, if women were being mistreated on the show by their partners, they didn’t just leave. I was a police officer for many years, specialising in cases of domestic abuse and abusive patterns of behaviour. I thought we had got past victim blaming in relation to domestic abuse? People don’t leave abusive relationships, even short-term ones, for a variety of reasons. The person is not abusive 100% of the time. When they are kind and compassionate, it can become intoxicating, especially in contrast to when they are awful. This makes victims crave the good parts, and they are conditioned to believe that the bad parts are their fault. This makes them want to “try harder” and “be better” for their abuser, because the good times become the reward. There is also the fact that abusers can be scary, and they can play serious mental games with a victim. The victim literally may not understand that they are being abused. The victim may fear that they will not be believed, or that the abuser will create a smear campaign against them, making them out to be the bad one, and trying to ruin their life and/or reputation. Abusers deny that they have done anything wrong when called out, and are masters at turning the tables on their victims, convincing them that they are the abusers, not them. This is called DARVO: deny, attack, reverse victim and offender. Throw in a reality TV show with cameras, the promise of fame, and the impact of leaving a show and the reputational costs this can have depending on what is aired in your absence, and it creates the perfect scenario for abuse to breed, go unchallenged, and for victims to feel trapped with someone who is hurting them. Instead of asking ‘why don’t they leave?’ we need to ask ‘why does the abuser act like this?’ @Rachel_SUTDA
