Afternoon Britain… let’s stop pretending this is normal. The welfare system isn’t just under pressure — it’s getting out of control. Year after year the bill climbs. Year after year the demand increases. And year after year the answer from the people in charge is exactly the same: “Just keep paying.” Work harder. Pay more tax. Ask fewer questions. Because apparently that’s the only lever they know how to pull. Here’s the part they don’t like talking about: We now spend so much on welfare that it rivals — and at times outstrips — what’s brought in through income tax. One of the country’s biggest revenue streams… and it’s being swallowed whole. And still — no control. Because instead of fixing problems, we fund them. Low wages? Top them up. Housing crisis? Subsidise it. Stuck out of work long-term? Maintain it. Have more kids than you can afford? The taxpayer will pick up the tab. Because somewhere along the line, responsibility became optional… and the bill became everyone else’s problem. Add in illegal immigration placing even more pressure on housing, services, and support systems already stretched to breaking point — and the whole thing doesn’t just grow… It snowballs. More demand. More cost. More strain. All loaded onto the same people every single time. And no one in charge seems willing to grip it properly. No serious reform. No proper enforcement. No line in the sand. Because that would mean making difficult decisions — and that’s something modern politics seems terrified of. So instead, the system grows. And grows. And grows. And who carries it? The same people every time. The ones who get up early. The ones who go to work. The ones who pay in, follow the rules, and expect — not handouts — but fairness. And what do they get in return? Higher taxes. More pressure. Less return for doing the right thing. That’s where the anger is coming from. Not from a lack of compassion — but from watching a system expand without limits, without control, and without any serious plan to make it sustainable. Because let’s be honest… A safety net is there to catch people when they fall — not to become something the country leans on permanently. And right now, it feels like we’re not just supporting a system… We’re carrying it. So here’s the question no one in charge wants to answer: How much more are the people doing everything right expected to take… before someone finally gets a grip of this?

Today, a mere FOUR WEEKS prior to the Senedd 2026 elections, @TheGreenParty in Wales published their manifesto. Some highlights: ❌No mention of upholding the Supreme Court judgment or protecting single-sex spaces. ❌A commitment to a ‘rights-based approach to women’s health’. But what on earth does that mean? ❌Concerningly, there’s a ringing endorsement of puberty blockers too, which given the current ban is either incredibly naive and ignorant, or is deliberately using children as collateral despite the health implications.

Reform Are Not Your Friends - the anonymous activist group promoted by Carol Vorderman - has written this message, claiming it’s had “coordinated bot pile-ons” from “the Reform hardcore”. Sounds like projection.

I’m really looking forward to being able to vote Reform in the council elections on 7th May. Who’s with me? #VoteReform #ReformUK

All very well. But when it was the Tories having to deal with the hard-left resident doctors’ leaders, Labour pols like Wes Streeting said a deal could be reached if only the Tory government negotiated with them properly. So what’s the excuse for no deal now?

Remember that virus that was only deadly when the tv cameras were on?

David Lammy and Labour are passing a law which means that existing graves can be exhumed and the bodies cremated so that they can be re-used by others. So who benefits from this - the religion that insists on burials and no cremations?🤔🤔🤔

Oi! @WelshGovernment, @NPTCouncil, @WelshLabour, what happened to the Afan Valley Adventure Resort, and the thousands of jobs promised?

Every week we learn more about Plaid’s extreme candidates. Plaid candidate ‘called for Rishi Sunak to be put down’ telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

Plaid are enthusiastic backers of the Anti-Racist Wales Action Plan. If they win, expect more of this.

Made me laugh.
