If you can't tell it truthfully, don't tell it at all. I have opinions. I may be wrong.

This @UKLabour Government is on the side of pensioners.
This week, we have boosted pensions by up to £575 a year.
We’re delivering security in retirement and putting more money into people’s pockets.

@BowesChay The Americans will be very grateful for her council🤣

Europe and Britain are being run by people who would struggle to even be employed in the private sector.
How do these people crawl into power?

🚨🇺🇸🇬🇧 “90% of your Minerals come from the US, ah errmmm China” Low IQ UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves telling Sec Lutnick that America needs Globalism & China for minerals at The WEF is just embarrassing for her.

@SamanthaTaghoy To be fair, she makes a strong case for oxygen rationing😆

“Water, soil, and oxygen should not be infinitely accessible. They are assets that should be included in global economic balance sheets.”
This is not satire. The World Economic Forum wants to monetise breathing.

@RickSacrop @Jenny_Nice I think though, that they are going to tinker around the edges, but not make significant changes.

@Jenny_Nice @jeremy_average They are. I think at the end of April.

One of the reasons you often find elderly people, on their own, in a large house is stamp duty. If they downsize they get clobbered for tax so it isn't economically viable.
Abolish stamp duty on downsizers and we will see a huge shift in the market. And HMRC get Tax on the resale
English
@theipaper It was an absurd thing to say. Labour fail to understand that their disingenuous attacks on others, serve not to promote Labour, but to ridicule themselves and harm Labour.
Tragic, that we pay so much in salary, pensions and expenses to MPs of this calibre. We deserve better.

Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson says rivals would push more children into poverty by restoring the two-child benefit cap, as the Government confirms its abolition

How can one person get so much wrong in a tweet.
IHT estates are 1 in 20 - which is £325 k for a single person.
And the clown wants means testing - so can I opt out of NI contributions if I get no pension?
Dominic McGregor@DominicMcGregor
I’m 32 years old and I want to change the state pension. With the triple lock, based on historical growth (4.5%) when I reach my pension age. The state pension will be £30,100 a year. This would account for £512bn a year. The current government budget is 1.2Trn. This would be 3x the current NHS budget. The triple lock is unsustainable. Now the debate, no one is saying that pensioners shouldn’t recieve support. That goes without saying. But there shouldn’t be a non-means tested, non contribution based pension which gives everyone blanket support. Especially when you consider 1 in 4 of over 60 years are asset millionaires. My view is, we need to have a means tested only state pension. Which is reassessed every 3 years. There is no “pot” people pay into, national insurance is just a tax - there is no ring fenced fund for a state pension. It comes directly from taxation ever annum. Without changes like this, young people will suffer while older people - who receive their pension and political protection because they actively vote - will continue to have a glorious quality of life.

@GriftReport Idiots. If they want to do something useful, they can become carers. There is a shortage.

"After years of strain and neglect under the Conservatives, Labour isn’t just protecting the NHS, they are rebuilding it, modernising it, and securing it for generations to come."
LovethW - #TenYearKeir StandByStarmer🌹@LovethW13893
A defining achievement from Keir Starmer’s Labour government, this is what real leadership, real delivery, and real change look like. In under two years, Labour has turned promises into action, taking bold, decisive steps to rebuild and future-proof our NHS with record levels of investment. One standout example this morning, is the nationwide rollout of brand-new, state-of-the-art ambulances across England. Between April 2025 and March 2026, NHS trusts are being equipped with modern fleets, replacing outdated vehicles and significantly strengthening emergency response when lives are on the line. See @LaindonFEMINIST post below for more. After years of strain and neglect under the Conservatives, Labour isn’t just protecting the NHS, they are rebuilding it, modernising it, and securing it for generations to come. This is delivery in action under our Labour government, led by Keir Starmer, where promises don’t just sound good, they translate into real, visible change that people can feel in their everyday lives. Now let’s turn up the volume, celebrate these achievements, stand unwavering behind the mission, and be part of the Labour movement driving Britain forward with strength, purpose, and momentum. Please share the progress.

@annaroseridgway Sod off. I grafted. I lived through recessions, market crashes and malign Govts. I raised children without govt handouts. I lost jobs. I paid taxes. I never had a day off sick or cba.
I have planned my retirement for 3 decades. My state pension is mine.
Means test Ed Miliband.
English
25% of pensioners are millionaires. 55% of welfare spending goes on pensioners.
Why don’t we:
1) means test the state pension, millionaires don’t need benefits.
2) increase the amount we give to the pensioners who need it the most.
3) stop the unsustainable triple lock.

@JoStevensLabour @UKLabour @WelshLabour @CardiffEastLab If a man starts work in my firm and demands sick pay or paternity leave on day one, it will be his last day in my employ.

Today, millions of people across the UK will benefit from new rights in the workplace.
This is the difference a @UKLabour Government is making for working people.
English
@CHazelgroveMP Does anyone reading this think this is a good idea?
Are the beneficiaries silent?
Asking because the comments to all Labour MPs boasting about this, seem to be 100% negative.
Government is supposed to serve the people, is it not?
English
🧒 Proud to have voted to lift the two-child limit, putting the country on course for the biggest reduction in child poverty in a single Parliament.
This wasn’t inevitable - many from other parties didn't vote for it. This is the difference Labour MPs & a Labour Government makes
The Labour Party@UKLabour
From today, the two child limit is lifted. That means 450,000 children will no longer grow up in poverty.
English
@DavidMcGregorBN Funny that I have not seen a single comment from anyone without a job within Labour, or a red rose in their bio, say that this is a good thing......
English
The party that actually stands up for workers!
The Labour Party@UKLabour
From today, millions of workers across the UK will benefit from strengthened rights in the workplace.
English
@DunkMontagu @lucydahlia Ah, yes. Starmer, when in opposition, did say that axing the WFA would kill 4000 pensioners. Not sure whether he met that target. Heartless c.... indeed.
English
Thanks to a Labour Government 🌹
Trades Union Congress@The_TUC
NEW🚨| 9.6 million workers set to benefit from stronger sick pay as of today. * 1.2 million workers - majority low-paid women - get access to statutory sick for the first time. * 8.4 million will get sick pay from the first day of illness - instead of having to wait four days.
English
@lucydahlia (I actually wouldn't. The work ethic is strong in my generation, but I think I make a valid point).
English
@lucydahlia It was nigh on impossible to find a job before Labour introduced this ridiculous legislation. Even harder now - thanks to Labour.
If I was younger, I would produce some kids, sign on, and have holidays in the sun - with thanks to Labour.

@KirstieMAllsopp How do you feel Aabout Iran closing the Strait? Justified in the circumstances, or an act of war?
English
There seems to be a surprising lack of anger about the fact that the U.S. President is driving us all off an economic cliff, hundred of millions are going to find life much tougher as a direct result of what this man decided to do, and unlike Iran, the U.S. is a democracy!
English
@danfrancis02 Take holidays and unpaid leave . I did when one of my sons was born 6 weeks early. Why should an employer have to fund it?
English
I’ve spoken in Parliament about my paternity experience.
I wasn’t entitled to any leave & took 3 days off in the 6 weeks our children were in intensive & special care.
I’m so proud to have supported these measures in Parliament while other parties tried to block them. 👨🍼👩🍼
Labour🌹Unions@labourunionsuk
Thanks to Labour’s Employment Rights Act, from today you can take paternity leave and unpaid Parental Leave from your first day on the job. 👩🍼👨🍼 That’s huge for new parents - now let’s get the Parental Leave and Pay Review done and go even further.
English
@danfrancis02 @whyohwhy1965 🤣🤣Bit harsh perhaps, but fair🤦
English
@whyohwhy1965 A. Our children were born before then & b. I wasn’t an MP in 2014. Other than those facts, your post is spot on
English
@Landeur You first have to raise the state pension to a liveable wage though, surely?
English
Means-test pensions at £1,000,000 assets and remove the triple lock. Tie pension increases to inflation only.
This is perfectly reasonable, but if you dare to suggest it then people will comment suggesting you should be sent to Ukraine and die in a trench.
James Baxter@Bax31James
@Landeur I think pensions have to maintained for those who already paid into the scheme in full …which went out the door to pay pensions to those already in receipt. We can’t just declare it can’t be paid! We need to fix the broad public purse first then it becomes affordable.
