@ChristOnABike0 @miriam_cates What you mean is, he spent the money he should not have touched. Does a saver with a bank account lose entitlement to their savings because the bank manager steals the fund?

@bhhsek @miriam_cates Gordon Brown abolished the ring fence around National Insurance when he was chancellor. The NI Act is worthless now.

No one has ‘paid into’ the state pension. NI payments are spent by the government of the day, not put into a pot with your name on. Using these terms just perpetuates the myth that the state pension is a contributory scheme. It isn’t. It’s a non-means tested universal benefit paid for by current taxpayers.

@BWoodzy99 Please refer to the National Insurance Act t of 1946 and the stated objectives of the contract between the state and the citizen. The fact that the government recklessly spends the money invested does not alter the right of the citizens.

Your taxes (including NI) didnt pay into a state pension they paid for day to day spending, you have no automatic right to one The current non-means tested triple lock pension is both unaffordable and immoral. Time to get a grip.

@miriam_cates There is also the additional point that the government chose to fritter away the NI contributions of the citizens. They could have been saved and invested. Don’t blame the people for the state’s greed.

@miriam_cates @miriam_cates. Please see the National Insurance Act 1946 which provided a “cradle to grave” social insurance system, tackling the “five giants” as a contract between the state and the individual, based upon contributions not means testing. It seems to contradict your assertion

@aDissentient @YvetteCooperMP Happy with corporal punishment where the outcome is likely to be positive. Also see the value of exemplary punishments to deter others. The present idea of short term removal intended to promote better behaviour is demonstrably a failure.

@bhhsek @YvetteCooperMP In terms of getting law and order fixed, corporal punishment is going to be cheaper, easier and more effective than capital punishment.

My statement with France, Germany and Italy on our united opposition to Israel’s death penalty law. The death penalty is wrong and we oppose it around the world. gov.uk/government/new…

@NormalIslandNws You people are just incredibly childish! Is it time you had your nappies changed? Is that why you are petulant?

BREAKING: Israel has confirmed its soldiers will not be joining the US in the ground invasion of Iran, due to the concern that they would have to fight grown men, rather than unarmed women and children

@BenJamalpsc @JohnWRees It really is time that you and your dim-witted supporters were banned from protesting in favour of terrorists

This is a disgraceful decision. The Nakba commemorative march always takes place on the Saturday closest to May 15th and invariably culminates with a rally in Whitehall or Trafalgar Square. This is a deeply political decision which overrides the rights of British Palestinians.

@RasenMail Are Lincolnshire Coop still banning Israeli products? Then they can keep their business!

Want to support local food suppliers but still need convenience – here’s the answer! #AD #LincolnshireCoop #BuyLocal #ShopLocal #Lincolnshire #Groceries #SupportLocalShops trib.al/OoyOTPA

Not pleased with @superbikefactor . Bought a Honda Forza 350 2023 on 15th March. Waited 12 days for delivery. Arrived, not very clean, with a battery so decrepit that it won’t start. Attempts to contact the business by phone, by email, see absolutely no response. Annoying!

The British people were sold a lie on a pledge to cut bills by £300 at the election. Labour are just moving the cost onto general taxation. This is a sleight of hand to cover up the cost of Miliband’s disastrous Net Zero policies.

@DaveAtherton20 @DavidLammy Rather in character then…..

Deputy PM @DavidLammy waxing lyrically about Lord Mandelson. "A man of considerable expertise. The right man to be our Ambassador." "Looking forward to presenting his credentials to Donald Trump." That worked out well.

@zarahsultana @Prisoners4Pal @DefendOurJuries It would be tempting to say that this outcome is an indictment of jury trials, but that would be an error. The outcome is patently unjust… that is a risk in a judicial system that allows decisions to be reached by peers, - possibly ignoring evidence.

Today’s acquittal of six Palestine Action activists is a huge win against attempts to criminalise protest and resistance to genocide. After 500+ days in custody, the Filton jury returned not guilty verdicts on aggravated burglary for all, and no convictions on any other counts. Elbit Systems arms Israel’s genocide in Gaza and this Labour government enables it. Solidarity with all who took a stand, and all facing repression for speaking up for Palestine. We will not stop! 🇵🇸✊🏽

@DaveAtherton20 Clearly the countryside is “too white”..

The Environment Agency is trying to get more ethnic minorities into the countryside. Meanwhile at the Stepping Stones in Dovedale in the Peak District, we have Muslims in hijabs & burkas fighting with weapons.

@mikoh123 Because even the dogs on the street know that Tommy Robinson is not the far right extremist the incompetents in government and the media want to portray. Listen to the man! Fallible yes, but generally correct in his views..

Danny Kruger says it’s Reform party policy to distance themselves from far-right extremist Tommy Robinson. So why has it been 4 days and counting since Matt Goodwin was asked to distance himself from Robinson and he still hasn’t done it? #politicslive #GortonAndDenton

@johnmcdonnellMP This is no huge victory for the policewoman injured by these activists ignorantly campaigning for a terrorist movement. This is no justice. The fact that you celebrate an abhorrent jury decision indicates your own total lack of morality.

This is a huge victory for the Palestine activists, whom I visited in prison, seeking to end the complicity of arms manufacturers in genocide. BREAKING: Six pro-Palestine activists linked to Palestine Action have been found NOT GUILTY for breaking into an Elbit Systems factory.

@WilliamJHague William, Sorry,you have obviously missed the key point of a democratic system if you think that suppressing dissenting views is a good thing.

Social media is becoming incompatible with a healthy democratic system.

@marcowenjones As a “Professor of Misinformation” you appear to be true to your job title.!

Perhaps one or two communication issues, but make no mistake, he is another victim of the Israel lobby - ultimately didn't want violent thugs on the streets of Birmingham and paid the price.

@JimfromOldham Given your significant moral stance on the abuse of social media, I am certain you must be in absolute support of a national inquiry into the systematic rape and abuse of young white girls by recently arrived residents in your constituency

@DaithiDoolan Pity Dublin seems to insist on taking the wrong side whenever an option is available. From immigration to Venezuela there is a mob who do not/cannot understand where their support should go.
