Shittin’ hell, does this grifter ever tell the truth? Did he invent electricity too?

Jenrick on Falling Net Migration: “I Secured the Very Changes That Are Making This” order-order.com/2026/05/24/jen…
English
@RobertJenrick yes let’s use the word ‘graft ‘
a lot, ‘working people ‘etc just to appeal to van man Britain - I can’t think of anyone who sounds less sincere spouting it apart from Faragexwho can’t even be arsed to turn up to his own constituency - still Bob I guess you sniff an opportunity !
English
A Reform government will scrap tax on overtime.
English
@PolitlcsUK Has Farage no sense of irony? Clearly all that time in America has affected his sense of this rather British personality trait .
English
🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage has accused Elon Musk of splitting the right wing vote in the Makerfield by-election by supporting Restore Britain
“This is a party that’s one man with a social media account. Quite what he’s trying to achieve, I have no idea”
English
@RobertN51219021 @BritishBastardX Way too intelligent, pragmatic and non black and white for most posters here !! - actually make very good MPS -
English
If you vote for Labour nothing changes.
If you vote for Greens you get Sharia.
If you vote for Reform you get demographically replaced.
If you vote for Restore Britain you send shockwaves through the establishment and put them all on the back foot.
Use your vote wisely.

@Heccles94 @roller18202802 Farage is in cuckoo land as doesn’t understand the love of Brits for finding a loophole- Greenszare in a cuckoo land too where people will be satisfied with a room in a houseshare, cycling, never much leaving the UK and living like a student at 47
English
The Greens would make sure your right to earn a decent wage without going over 40 hours is protected.
We should reduce the working week to 30 hour while increasing prices and stopping tax dodgers (like Farage) and ending vulture capitalism.

🚨Important policy announcement: Britain was built on the hard graft of people who go the extra mile. A Reform government will ABOLISH income tax on hours worked beyond 40 hours a week, for incomes below £75,000 a year. It’s time to REWARD hard work, not punish it! 🇬🇧
English
@Matt_VickersMP Red tape!! That’s amusing - thexred tape created by Brexit for anyone with a strong EU link be it import or export or mail order is massive - energy bills were huge from 2022 onwards - you were still in power for 2 years - business rates is not dictated by gvt as you well know
English
🚨 Britain isn’t working under Labour.
In the last month, 100,000 fewer people have a job.
Why?
Because Rachel Reeves has battered our economy.
The Jobs Tax.
Red tape.
Soaring business rates.
Sky-high energy bills.
We’re all paying the price for her failure.
English
@RobertJenrick Hello Robert!! Anyone at home! You were elected on a Tory ticket , the party in for 14 years and what you may not realise by enticing pensioners and alarm clock Britain as you call it is that plenty of your support comes from the very people you are talking about
English
It’s really very simple:
In their deeds, even if not always in their words, every other party is for shirkers.
Reform is for workers.

🚨Whilst out canvassing, @RobKenyonReform let slip to potential voters he prefers an insurance based healthcare and 'his' new hospital would provide two tier healthcare, with NHS patients treated differently.
English
@AlanShort686957 @GBNews23653867 @LiviaAugusta10 @RobKenyonReform I completely disagree with that - people can pay privately now if they so wish - that’s simply a 2 tier system
English
@esotericvicky @GBNews23653867 @LiviaAugusta10 @RobKenyonReform Yup that's Germany, this will be both insurance and NHS, giving people the choice to do either and cutting waiting lists. Good plan.

@NJ_Timothy Strange that because I’m old enough to remember the Tory’s ‘care in the community’ when shutting a load of mental health institutions -
English
Labour have chosen.
To keep dangerous young thugs out of prison.
To let 60,000 criminals out early.
And to abolish short-term sentences altogether.
They cannot be trusted to keep us safe.

@griffitha Well you didn’t 2 years ago !! You had 14 years at it

@ElaineC54590844 I came from working class mining town ,went abroad every single year from 1969 , didn’t go out for meals that much asthere wasn’t many places to go , did have coffee out every week though with my gran at littlewoods cafe - nonsense to say this is how life was - it was ‘for some’
English
This is exactly how life was, no eating out, no going for coffee, no restaurants and no holidays either. It’s just the way things were, there was no disposable cash and no ‘canned entertainment.’ The world of expectation is very different now.
Innocent Bystander@supertolerant
I was young in the 80s/90s in the UK. I don’t remember my parents ever going out to eat, except when we were on holiday (in the UK). I don’t think they ever took me to a fast food restaurant, or ordered takeaway food. People today have no clue how working people lived. /1
English
@alexbaynhambd I agree with all those - and I’m not even affected by them - when we lived in Denmark very reasonable childcare was available’ regardless ‘ of income because to be frank the high tax payers are subsidising lower paid tax payers to make it possible for all .
English
If you've got a few £bn to spend on tax cuts, there's some more egregious cliff edges you should get rid of instead;
-High Income Child Benefit Charge (53% to 62% marginal rate!)
-Personal allowance withdrawal (might even be fiscally positive)
- Free childcare hours withdrawal
The Telegraph@Telegraph
Nigel Farage has pledged to axe income tax on overtime as he vows to “make work pay”. If Reform UK wins the next general election, people who earn less than £75,000 and work overtime above a 40-hour week will pay no income tax on the extra hours. 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

@BhattiLaib9960 I like both - you’ve got a great face, so either works

-I'm 51 years old and I've been wanting a short haircut; today I took the plunge, but the people close to me don't like my new look and are giving me a hard time. Your opinion means a lot to me. Thank you so much ❤😍
English
@julianHjessop Strangely for people constantly pushing the alarm clock Britain/grafter kind of narrative- I actually don’t think they understand the mentality much of many people whose first thought will be ‘how could I fiddle this’ and that’s not just alarm clock Britain by the way. !
English
FYI, the Reform Party is proposing to end tax on overtime, but I don't this would work as intended... 🤔
Specifically, Reform would "institute a new UK-wide uncapped personal allowance for overtime above a 40 hour working week for those earning less than £75,000".
My quick take...
It is refreshing to hear any talk of tax cuts, but this proposal is a bad idea which would have lots of unintended consequences.
Incentivising some people to work even more hours is likely to damage productivity and harm welfare. Some firms might also spread the same total amount of hours among a smaller number of workers, meaning some lose their jobs.
Many firms already pay higher rates for overtime and that is a better market-led solution. If overtime is taxed at a lower rate, firms might just reduce pre-tax pay, leaving workers no better off.
The Trump administration has introduced a similar scheme in the US and it is already backfiring. For example, some firms are offering more hours at lower pre-tax rates, rather than boosting pay across the board. The US scheme is also proving to be a nightmare to administer.

@RopesToInfinity They’ve been told to use the word grafter etc appeals to their voters. Does Lee Anderson not think the average teacher in school at 8.15 or the air traffic controller doing weird shifts all week aren’t ‘grafters’ simply because they aren’t driving round in a van?
English
Fascinated by the way right-wingers have convinced themselves they're the only people who have jobs. Like do you want a fucking medal or something
English
@Khaledhzakariah Well khaled I think they will need it if oating £300 plus health insurance - in Germany state health insurance is 380 euros a month ( each) and compulsory -even pensioners and early retired who pay zilch NI at moment - pay in full -explain how overtime helps in that situation??
English
This is actually a brilliant incentive, and I think it's the first time a party has proposed something genuinely meaningful.
Whatever you think of Reform, they are genuinely trying to make work pay!
Robert Jenrick@RobertJenrick
Under Reform, hard work will be rewarded. No tax on overtime. You keep the extra money you earn. Not Rachel Reeves. Simple.

@jemmm85517813 @David__Osland Many could - I’m from a mining town in Notts originally - all the families I knew did most of this and all the time - and many still do - the idea most are in penury is ludicrous-
English
@David__Osland Many working people could not afford all of these luxuries.
English
I'm so old, I remember when Saturday nights out, annual holidays and the occasional takeaway weren't seen as the exclusive luxuries of the pampered sybaritic bourgeoisie
