@TrussellUK Ummm it is not designed to make comfortable living. The idea is to get out to work again for a comfortable life. Those that cannot work with proven reason are well provided for by the state.

Some people think £98 a week Universal Credit is enough to live on each week. But after: Bills £34 Food £40 Transport £20 Toiletries and Cleaning products £15 It’s impossible.

@doqholliday All my 3 nephews and niece’s have got themselves onto the property ladder in their twenties, just as we did. It is entirely possible if you focus hard and make the right life choices involving sacrifices you will prosper from moving foward. Stop making excuses.

If you're a boomer in your 60s and 70s and you own property and are well off but your children are struggling and can't even buy a home, what the hell are you doin? Your time is over. It's their time. Help them. Be a good parent, do whatever it is you need to do... sell the house if you need to, give them some kickbacks to help buy their first home, etc. Life is short. Be a good parent and don't squat on stuff that doesn't matter. Give them their time.

@Sicloudstorm @Helen_Whately If you are able then you should definitely be working - I have worked for 40 years non stop and will have to claim disability very soon and feel I will be labelled with the lazy bastards.

Alarm clock Britain is sick of paying out for Benefits Street. Why bother working when you can get £30,000 or even £60,000 on benefits - untaxed. So what's the Government doing about it? Nothing.

@joshsimonsmp You the Labour party cannot agree on governing the UK. Plain and simple, there clearly was no agreed and effective plan having had 14 years to develop one. Scabbling around in a last ditch panic attempt doesn’t convince the electorate now.

I'm tired of politics driven by fear. Ppl are sick of managerialism, process and risk aversion. Always avoiding the worst means you may never achieve the best. I want hope back. Leaders who take risks, shoot for the best, because sometimes, we might just get there.

‘It may be noble puppeteering, but it’s still puppeteering.’ @Lewis_Goodall questions Labour’s Josh Simons over his decision to stand down as the MP for Makerfield, triggering a by-election for Andy Burnham to contest.

@JamesMelville Isn’t the main focus of British renewable energy to make ourselves self reliant and bring energy cost under control?

“Let’s spend £4.5 trillion on net zero over the next 25 years despite the UK only accounting for less than 1% of annual global CO2 emissions. Let’s increase taxes to pay for net zero. Let’s ban new oil and gas licences in the North Sea but spaff away £40billion buying North Sea oil and gas from Norway. Let’s buy coking coal shipments worth £7.2million from Japan but ban UK coal mining. Let’s plaster thousands of acres of farmland with solar panels but spend £50million on sun dimming experiments. Let’s give huge renewable energy construction contracts to China. Let’s give Drax an estimated £1.8billlion in taxpayer funded subsidies on top of the £11billion it has already received despite Drax burning an amount of wood equivalent to 300 million trees. Let’s give £1billion this year alone to wind power companies not to generate power from their wind turbines. And let’s spend £30billion of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines but put pensioners, farmers and the disabled into financial peril by claiming there’s a £22bn black hole.”

OK — you tell me — how do you nationalise energy, water and ‘housing’ (whatever that means) without borrowing tens of billions more to do so?
The Red Resistance (Keith Davies)@resistance_red

@afneil Are you happy with ANYONE trying to do something different Andrew. He has been a big success in Manchester. Maybe he knows something. You've derided any new ideas as the status quo fails catastrophically. Do you want the far right spivs with their huge medical bills policies?

@ZiaYusufUK A desperate move to martyrise Burnham as the saviour of Labour. He talks a good talk of fairness but the reality is Tax and Spend on a colossal scale. We just need serious GROWTH now that has to be the focus. Then we can do the soft stuff!

Andy Burnham abandoning his post as Mayor, and triggering an election in service of nothing other than his own ambition. Using the people of Makerfield as his pawns. Big mistake.

@joshsimonsmp He talks a good talk and presents a lovely concept of fairness. Problem is we are not in a financial position to make this a reality without tax and spend in excessive amounts. GROWTH is what uk needs all focus on now and in the years to come we can make the softer promises

For Westminster, this is a good summary of what people are saying on the doors in Makerfield. From a constituent of mine on a Reform page: "I'll probably get slated for this especially in this forum but hear me out. I've spent my whole adult life wishing that someone like me, from a working class background and from the North was leading our country. All I've seen in my lifetime is public school boys telling me how things are and to be honest, coming from a family of little to no wealth, it makes my blood boil. To have the chance of a prime minister who is born and bred in my neck of the woods. Understands the environment I grew up in if nothing else. And, more so, has a chance to take that top job and maybe, just maybe, make decisions that make a difference to people like me. That's what @AndyBurnhamGM represents for me. This feels like a one time in a generation chance to get someone in who isn't part of the establishment and may do things differently than has been done before. If people vote Reform, it won't put them in power. If they won it would merely be something to brag about but wouldn't make any fundamental difference to mine or your way of life. Alteratively, if Andy wins, it's likely he'll become our new prime minister and maybe, just maybe, we'll feel the difference. If not, vote Reform in the next general election and I'll join you. Peace out 📷"

Andy Burnham
Andy Burnham@AndyBurnhamGM·
I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election. I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics. Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic. Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures. However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people. Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place. I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that. Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again. ENDS

@Sicloudstorm @tolethorpe @stellacreasy Well, @tolethorpe has made some very strong points, but we also have a lopsided economy. 21% of the working-age population is economically inactive, and we have failed to address this for decades as well. Untapped markets aren't eluding us, they're remaining untapped.

If any of you have ever visited Framlingham here in Suffolk, you'll know the small town is always bedecked with Union and St George's flags and bunting. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 It's been like that since I've lived here, 22 years. And now? Some dickhead has complained. 🙄 The Town Council have said they'll try to make sure the flag display is 'balanced'. Whatever that means. But what sort of dickhead would complain? 🤔🧐

The State has failed our young people. By the age of 11, one in four young children are not sufficiently literate. As a result, many get no benefit from the next stage of education. We must restore meritocracy and give our young people the futures they deserve.

Yes we can cope with it on our own. We have a huge number of home grown and trained doctors, nurses and other medical professionals who can’t move on with their careers or even get jobs in the NHS because they’re given to foreigners. And yes of course we can thrive but we need a govt strong enough to provide the environment to grow, which we don’t currently have.
