@narindertweets @andyburnham Perhaps find another pandemic to cull anyone of retirement age ? Commandeer their houses, suck up any private pensions and rake in plenty of death taxes #triplelockangst

Everyone goes crazy when I say it - but the writings on the wall - the Triple Lock pension is simply unsustainable and must go! @andyburnham has got to have the guts to admit this and abolish it. thetimes.com/article/1d15c2

@Jeremy_Hunt @thetimes ITS NOT A BENEFIT! The government collected it for our old age. It’s our money!

Really good discussion of why we need to reform the triple lock in today’s @thetimes We can’t afford the pension triple lock (and we all know it) thetimes.com/article/1d15c2…

@MartinSLewis I’m curious why ’taxing the rich’ won’t work- there’s been lots of posts about it turning businesses away to tax havens because the percentages on various taxable monies compound to a very high percentage- is it because anyone very wealthy is always set up as a business?

TELL US: What is it about money, personal finance & consumer rights you just can’t get your head around? It's back to basics... pensions, debt, student finance, energy, broadband & more. Tell us what you want a briefing on and why, & podcast producer Simon will collate

Activist: "Your cow uses fifteen thousand litres of water for one kilo of beef." Farmer: "Where do you reckon that water comes from?" Activist: "Doesn't matter where. It's fifteen thousand litres." Farmer: "It's rain. Been falling on that field since before the Romans turned up." Activist: "The point is the cow consumes it." Farmer: "It falls whether the cow's there or not. You want me to post it back up to the cloud?" Activist: "You could grow crops instead. Uses less." Farmer: "On a thirty-degree Welsh hillside. Go on then. Plant something." Activist: "That water could go to people who need it." Farmer: "How are you piping Snowdonia rain to a tap in London?" Activist: "It's still a lot of water." Farmer: "It's weather. What's your plan for the weather?" Activist: "..." Farmer: "Mind the gate on your way out. It's about to do it again."

Whoever came up with this deserves a standing ovation. 😂😂😂 “Stop the bungs” with Count Binface standing on the beach while Nigel Farage rows away in a boat full of cash… satire doesn’t get much better than this.

@MarinaPurkiss It’s beyond me how people gloss over ALL the evidence against him, it’s like the Boris turdorama all over again … Keep chipping away 🙌

So there’s me… State schooled, working class, yet I’m supposed to be “the establishment” Or Nigel Farage, Dulwich College, City trader Or…Richard Tice, Uppingham, grandson of a property tycoon Both getting £££ bungs from the aristocracy Which is the establishment again?

@K4rmaRules It’s not like they even need to be subsidised- is that part of the benefits bill

Instead of subsidised food and alcohol in the House of Commons, I think that only vouchers should be given out. We'll call them dinner tickets - and abolish the alcohol. That's how they want to treat disabled people, and that's how we should treat ableist politicians.

My brother posts this every year in the family chat on the 4th. Still hilarious.

@K4rmaRules @BladeoftheS Does Nigel know he’s missing out on this bit of grift

@BladeoftheS Let's stop subsidising MPs food and booze in the HoC. Eligible members of the House of Lords can claim a tax-free daily attendance allowance of £371 for each qualifying day they turn up and perform parliamentary duties. £185 per day for casting a vote or speaking remotely. ffs

Every panellist on Question Time tonight was peddling the lie that we have to cut Welfare to spend it on Defence The Welfare budget is the same percentage as it has always been, the military budget the highest in 50 years Tax billionaires or make do, like everything else has to

@sookio @hoffman_noa AI doesn’t have a uterus …

@angiefuz @hoffman_noa Why would you employ women if you knew you'd have to give them 7 weeks' extra paid leave a year - it's so obviously unworkable

EXCL: The Green Party is considering giving ‘all workers who menstruate’ an additional 36 days’ paid leave a year, The Spectator can reveal. Under the proposals, businesses would be forced to allow staff to take three days off every month during menstruation. Employees would not have to present a doctor’s note, and the time off would not be recorded as sickness absence or deducted from annual leave. The plan is laid out in a motion for Green Party Conference. The motion - which specifically refers to ‘workers who menstruate’ rather than ‘women’ - has been submitted by a male party member. It could become official party policy in October this year.

@sookio @hoffman_noa 💯

@sookio @hoffman_noa As I said- crazy! We’ve spent all our careers trying to get actual equality in the workplace and this just doesn’t help! Even all the female bosses I’ve worked for would bin this idea! Compassion for any debilitating health issue yes, but not this!

@angiefuz @hoffman_noa I really do wonder if they spoke to any actual businesses or actual women before coming up with this one! 🙄

@MarkHam80780803 Put her in a bag

Thank f**k for that😂

@rorysutherland Thanks for the giggle 🤭

One strange feature of high-end hotels is that they're paranoid about bringing back your dry cleaning if there is the slightest discolouration. fraying or bobbling. I'm not bloody Anna Wintour. Provided the clothes aren't smelling of piss, I chalk it up as a win.

@sookio @hoffman_noa Yes! It’s crazy! ‘Unclean!’ I have friends who did suffer badly but only a few so a contingency is nice idea. And I would never have wanted a man to think I couldn’t do my job as well as him at any time! It’s bad enough you didn’t get promoted in case you ‘ran off and had babies’

Female business owner here. I've always worked on the basis of compassion, allowing time off, working from home if needed (pre-pandemic), keeping the loos stocked with products. None of us need this, you may as well put a bell round our necks. And it's just making women unemployable in the first place - excellent!

And remember we also have one of the worst pensions in Europe. One of the very least generous in the whole G7 👇🏼👏🏻

If you are old enough to have driven in Britain in the 1980s, you remember the windscreen. By July you could barely see through it. A run from Leeds to London in August finished with a bumper that looked like it had been to war and a sheet of glass you scrubbed with a sponge at the services while the engine ticked as it cooled. Moths in the headlights. Flies in the wing mirrors. The grille packed solid. Nobody thought it remarkable. It was simply the price of moving through a country that was still, in living memory, heaving with flying things. Drive that same road today. Stop at the same services. The windscreen is clean. Spotless. You could very nearly eat off it. We have the numbers, for those who want them. The Bugs Matter survey, run by Kent Wildlife Trust and Buglife, has had volunteers counting the splats on their number plates since 2004. Britain's flying insects are down by roughly four fifths in twenty years. Gone in a single human lifetime, while the rest of us noticed nothing at all. The birds went down with them, because the birds lived on them. A child born this year can grow up in the English countryside and never once hear a turtle dove, for the simple reason that there is almost nothing left to do the calling. And none of it, not one acre of it, happened on the grass. It happened in the arable fields, where the hedges were torn out for bigger machines and a single crop was sprayed over and over to keep it upright. The herb-rich meadow grazed by cattle still hums. The beetles, the pollinators, the ground-nesting birds, all still there, just about, on the pasture our ancestors never stopped grazing. So when someone tells you your steak is emptying the British countryside, ask them what grew on that field before it was drained and ploughed and sprayed to raise the oats for the carton in their fridge. It was grass, and there were cattle on it, and back then the windscreen needed cleaning.

@BladeoftheS That’ll kill off all the pensioners as they couldn’t even pay it so the government will save even more money. Bit like Boris thinking we shouldn’t be vaccinated against Covid.

The first thing Nigel Farage will introduce if he is elected is Health Insurance. The NHS correctly costs £200bn a year. In the USA Health Insurance is £14,000 a year per person £14,000 x 50m adults is £700bn a year. £500bn a year profit If you can't afford that you are dying
