If you work at the Heinz factory near Wigan, do an hour and a half overtime every day, you’ll be *£1,000* a year better off.
Reform will make work pay again.
Cllr Rob Kenyon@RobKenyonReform
Reform will reward hard graft with fair pay. This policy to remove tax from overtime would have been a godsend for me a few years ago. It will help loads of people in Makerfield and Wigan.

.@ZackPolanski: "The 50 wealthiest families in this country own more wealth than 34 million people. That's unsustainable. The govt say there is no money left. There's plenty of money. It needs to be in our communities, both for the environment & for the people we serve"

@Glyph_of_Doom @suziegeewizz What were your favourite meals of hers?
English
@suziegeewizz My mom did cook from scratch. So do. Wtf are you talking about? You people are just dumb.

As boomers die, I beg fellow Gen X-ers not to fill the gap. Your dad did not fight a war. Your mum didn't always cook from scratch. Most of you had shoes, TVs, the odd meal out. You can't do, "do you remember Walkmans" *&* "we never went to Wimpy" at the same time.

@ii_analyze I thought unfettered capitalism was supposed to make everything better than it was for our parents.

... Isn't this how they said we would be eating under socialism though?

US Empire, the world's largest State Sponsor of Terrorism for all our lifetime has been humiliated by Iran. It is a victory for Civilisation over Western Military Barbarism. Long live the Resistance to Western Imperialism...
Speaker Mike Johnson@SpeakerJohnson
President Trump is the ONLY one who could have gotten Iran — the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism — to the negotiating table. We are greatly encouraged to learn a PEACE DEAL in Iran is underway — and look forward to learning more about the specifics. Under President Trump’s leadership, our nation is stronger, more respected on the global stage, and safer than ever before.

Jenrick: "..those people who are doing a 40hrs/week & then choosing to do extra hours to look after their family.. those people can do those hours without paying any money to the tax man"
Why not address the fact that people working 40hrs/week can't look after their families?

@HMillwall2414 @confidencenac They we’rent as ubiquitous in the rest of the country.
English
@confidencenac Not strictly true. I’m 65 and remember KFC (1st opened 1965) McDonalds (1974) Wimpy, Pizza Hut and other pizza places, pasta restaurants etc, all from my childhood.
English
Ageism and lies.
Never had a burger in my childhood. My mum cooked from scratch.
Fast food ?!!
Chinese was a treat, that’s it.
Raven@raven_brah
Boomers seem to forget that fast food used to be a normal, everyday expense for them because it was affordable. You could get a burger easily on minimum wage, it wasn’t some fancy treat you had once a year as a reward for pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.

@confidencenac This person is American- material conditions would have been different. When did diners/fast food joints become ubiquitous in North America
English
@GSpellchecker This person is obviously from North America. Maybe just MAYBE it was incomparable to the UK in the 80s and 80s
English
This is completely untrue. Growing up working-class in the late 80s and 90s, my parents never bought it for us. The only times I ever set foot in a McDonald’s were for someone else’s birthday party.
The housing market is undeniably broken, but at the same time, the number of luxuries this generation now considers basic necessities is on another level entirely.

@MadarsRazma @MvG180 So close! Don't be too hard on yourself. He is one of the greatest players and you should be proud.

Good luck @MvG180 the final day😉

As a ‘boomer’
There was no ‘fast food’ when I was growing up..
We had no fridge, freezer, central heating, washing machine, dryer, TV 📺, fitted carpets etc..
Until much later..like most families.
Nor a welfare state apart from family allowance for one child & limited ‘dole’ - no loitering on that !!
You went to school - then straight to work .. with the exception of the few who went to UNI
We didn’t starve, mothers were magicians… & managed to stay warm (in one room)
yet never thought twice about it 🤷♀️
and certainly didn’t have time to whinge 🙄
Fortunately, clever people invented clever things ..
Despite ‘free healthcare’ for 80 years, which isn’t free ..
there are now massive obesity & mental health problems
people too lazy to cook or get a job ..
there is no ‘poverty’ in this country 🇬🇧
but there is a welfare budget larger than the GDP of many countries ..
and ‘the left’ feeding that narrative.
I wouldn’t want to go back to that ..
but the pendulum has swung way to far in the wrong direction.
It’s all about me me me - too often
and never about personal responsibility !
Hasn’t really gone that well has it !

David Miliband is to grown-up sensibilistas as Reza Pahlavi is to bonkers Iranian expats.
George Foulkes@GeorgeFoulkes
Bumping into David Miliband in Westminster on Wednesday I realised again what might have been if his brother had not challenged him in what was the turning point for Labour. He would have led us to the same run of success as Tony Blair. Such is the effect of one political event.

Absolutely agree with every word of this
Greens need to be braver & bolder when it comes to challenging the Israel lobby & its well known psyops
If you think 'Israel lobby' is a 'conspiracy theory', soon to be ex US Rep Thomas Massie would like a word
