Its Not Ideal

@Telegraph Wasn’t he being investigated by HMRC for a very large sum?

🗣️ JCB’s Lord Bamford: ‘You can’t get away’ with £60k benefit handouts The billionaire sounds alarm on welfare spending and warns Labour against a lurch to the Left 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

@ClaireCoutinho Can you cite a credible source and calculation please? And how many families are on that amount. If you can’t, it’s just hearsay

People can now get the equivalent of a £71,000 salary on benefits. Working people on £30,000 or £40,000 are asking themselves, why do I bother working so hard? This is not sustainable.

@BladeoftheS @_Lucibee I was removed from cardiology last year, failed a stress test, no treatment

Why are the NHS waiting lists going down? Because people are removed, and they are being paid to remove them. £33 per patient. That was £11,583,000 paid to do NOTHING just in March. That's nearly £150m a year, enough to hire 30,000 Doctors.

@KemiBadenoch You can’t even sort out your MPs spreading welfare amounts misinformation.

Labour are descending into chaos. And meanwhile the country is not being governed. That’s why the Conservatives set out an Alternative Kings Speech - our fully costed plans to start fixing Britain’s problems and get Britain working again.

@JeremyVineOn5 A good journalist would check those figures. And how many apparently received that amount Jeremy, and cite their source and calculation

Is the benefits system too generous? JCB chairman Lord Bamford has warned Britain "can’t get away" with people receiving up to £60,000 a year in benefits, saying soaring welfare costs risk a public ‘revolt’. Is he right? Is the benefits system out of control?

@__RiverSong @ABrokenBattery @AndrewG76201347 Same here as I attended the sleep clinic as have sleep apnoea too. It just gets worse when you have reverse sleep pattern and they try to force it back, it flips back again of its own accord to your normal. Makes you feel dreadful too

@ABrokenBattery @AndrewG76201347 Tried sleep hygiene for months and my ME insomnia got worse and worse. It’s been (and still is) one the most recommended things nevertheless. It’s hard to explain to ppl that what helps most worsens us.

Sleep hygiene can be just as “damaging as graded exercise” for patients with #MECFS Dr Nigel Speight describes a girl with severe sleep reversal. She walked into hospital and was carried out a month later needing to be tube fed.

Clip from the Post Exertional Mayonnaise podcast. ME and a history of disbelief with Dr Nigel Speight. The whole episode is well worth a watch. Thanks to @talmandaniel @pempodcast23. youtu.be/xwOaRAFwOxY?si…

@Caymanguy1234 @unojen_wood @ligomersall @KemiBadenoch They may have had tennis elbow, but it’s likely they had something else aswell. I have vitiligo, it will show up on my claim but it’s not the reason I get help, it’s just on your list of conditions 🙄

@Spook14xx @unojen_wood @ligomersall @KemiBadenoch Government figures

You can't LEASE a car if you have tennis elbow, you are deliberately telling these lies and disabled people are getting abused because of it.

@Caymanguy1234 @unojen_wood @ligomersall @KemiBadenoch Can you post your link?

@Caymanguy1234 @unojen_wood @ligomersall @KemiBadenoch Google AI can be quite misleading 🙄😆

@Spook14xx @unojen_wood @ligomersall @KemiBadenoch Its true

@Caymanguy1234 @unojen_wood @ligomersall @KemiBadenoch You would not earn enough points on mobility to get the higher rate, thus the car access with tennis elbow alone, no matter what Google says based on reports in the press. Look at the descriptors. If you have tennis elbow aswell as another condition yes maybe.

@KathyParr101 It’s not great as an app tbh.

Warning! NHS is aggressively pushing their NHS App to everyone who has not yet downloaded it! Started today. I have had both a text and a call from my GP this afternoon, masquerading as a survey and asking me to go online and download the app! I refused. Digital ID push???

@jamesbackagain @RachelD1892 @LadyJLondon If she was strong, she would sack Helen Whately for spreading misinformation but she doesn’t as it fits a narrative she supports on welfare. Spreading misinformation involving vulnerable groups of people isn’t a trait id want in my party

Yes. Not because she is a conservative candidate, but because she’s a strong, clear leader who has set out a clear plan in detail. For example, not just stating she would leave the ECHR but how she would do it. Perhaps it’s because I’m older and know of the consistent failures of Labour over the years. I just don’t trust Farage.

Kemi Badenoch has been performing very well in the Commons in recent weeks and months. Does this make it more likely that you will vote Conservative?

@Vocal_GenX @RachelD1892 A strong team? Helen Whately is spreading misinformation about welfare on a daily basis, without reprimand. Speaks volumes about the party

I never stopped I was waiting to see what Reform would actually do for British citizens but they are failing miserably because they don’t care about anything but their egos Restore is still just a concept so hasn’t earnt its stripes yet either New Conservatives are forcing U-turns on harmful bills and Kemi is building a strong team. It’s a no-brainer for me

@Annettewhatmou1 @RachelD1892 Helen Whately seems to be spreading misinformation and Kemi is doing nothing to stop her. Speaks volumes about integrity of the party

@RachelD1892 No because the others in her party worry me!

@RachelD1892 Ha ha no. And with Helen Whately in the party spreading misinformation definitely no.

@Helen_Whately The story, if you tell the truth is fraud, claimant error and admin errors. Be interesting to find out in what proportions. But you keep spreading & fueling negativity towards welfare claimants without full facts Helen, you are showing the nation you’ve got nothing else as an MP

Benefit cheats fuel £10bn in welfare overpayments telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

Almost £10 billion of benefits fraud and error last year…So much for Labour’s promised crackdown. The welfare system is being abused and gamed - but all we get from the Government is empty words and zero action.

@Helen_Whately Seen as Helen doesn’t post the truth about how mobility points are gained, I will, off gov website, section 2.4 activities 11 and 12. You may notice it doesn’t cover tennis elbow or acne! Try showing integrity Helen, it’s expected as an MP! gov.uk/government/pub…

Enough is enough. Britain can't be a cash machine for the world. No more gaming the welfare system. No more free cars for tennis elbow or acne. Welfare needs fixing, here's how we'll do it 👇

@GBNEWS If he’s any good, he wouldn’t ask for the others to step aside lol, comedy gold

'The Conservatives should withdraw from this race and give a clear run to Reform UK.' Reform MP Andrew Rosindell says the Tories should withdraw from the upcoming Makerfield by-election to block Andy Burnham being elected, which would allow him to run for the Labour leadership.
