One of the main criticisms of PR is that you lose constituency representation. This however does not need to be the case at all. It is possible to have a 100% PR system with 100% MP local representation. Here’s how 1/

@PrivateIncome @QuestionerMoney @DeborahMeaden The only crime would be to not provide what was promised. Sounds like you’re a libertarian extremist who cares not for his fellow man

The state pension should be completely abolished. Anyone who has contributed should get their contributions returned less any payments received (inflation adjusted) with a letter of apology explaining how they were defrauded. Those responsible for this crime such as senior civil servants and ministers should be prosecuted including having their assets seized.

Anyone on a pension needs to worry about the Welfare bashing… the fake narratives… it is included in the Welfare numbers being bandied around and I am pretty sure you consider it your right having paid in all those years..

@PrivateIncome @QuestionerMoney @DeborahMeaden But you agree of course that the government should be held to these promises

@QuestionerMoney @markml @DeborahMeaden Indeed. Good luck to anyone believing the government promises.

@MarieBell626390 @stuegs @TheNewsAgents @arusbridger Because it’s a Russian sponsored propaganda channel. A cancer in our democracy

@stuegs @TheNewsAgents @arusbridger It is a entertainment channel. That you.can chose not to watch if you dont like it..why you're so obsessed with GB news is beyond me

A new investigation claims GB News is failing to meet Ofcom standards – but nothing is being done. GB News says it's fair and impartial, but journalist @arusbridger says only someone paid to work for the channel could claim that with 'a straight face' thenewsagents.co.uk/article/it-can…

@PrivateIncome @QuestionerMoney @DeborahMeaden It’s a government promise. Why does it need a fund?

@QuestionerMoney @DeborahMeaden Correct. NI is just a tax, you’re insured against nothing. The State pension has no savings or assets, your contributions have been wanked away ~ it’s just a fraud.

@PrivateIncome @nickrob85 @justpaul777 @DeborahMeaden People have contributed based on rules. Government should not change the rules at the end. There are many ways to fund it

NI 'contributions' have always primarily funded the pensions of people retiring *at the time* (pay-as-you-go), not a personal pot for your own retirement. That's why the 2014 Act calls it a 'benefit'. Workplace auto-enrolment gives employer match + tax relief to help where possible. Facing up to the maths on demographics isn't vile — it's necessary. What’s vile is expecting someone else to fund your retirement.

@MultipolarA @VolodyaTretyak Putin has literally said he wants the Baltics and Finland as well as Ukraine to be part of Russia

@VolodyaTretyak Russia posses NO threat to EUROPE. On the contrary .There is no security or prosperity in Europe without Russia

It’s funny how almost the entire European far-right pretends Russia poses no threat to Europe—while attacking Brussels, the very institution that made Europe united and successful

@StayDark666 @bmay By the time anyone who contracts meningitis where they originated gets to the UK they would be dead

@bmay She is probably correct. Just like the rise of TB. Undocumented illegal migrants. What could possibly go wrong. Still, great to see the lefty bedwetters crying again.🤣🤣🤣

What a racist cretin.

@BenGrahamUK @dum_as_hek But should be in according to the will of the people today. A significant portion of those who voted for Brexit are dead. They shouldn’t be allowed to selfishly fuck things up for young people from the grave

@dum_as_hek You can't flip flop. You're either in or out, and we are out.

Britain voted to leave the EU in 2016. Democracy means respecting that choice, even if Sadiq Khan doesn't like it. Calls to reverse the referendum ignore the will of the people.

@theeobservist @BBCPolitics It was enacted even though it was onviously going to hurt the country for no benefit. No law can’t be reversed. Also given that many of the generation that wanted it are now dead. You still want them to be able to selfishly fuck over youngsters from the grave

@BBCPolitics So after years of respecting the referendum, we’re back to openly campaigning to reverse it. At least the honesty is finally there. Didn’t take long

Sadiq Khan says Labour should pledge to rejoin EU bbc.in/4lzdv8c

@DeniseRubin6 @FurkanGozukara It’s the West Bank and part of Palestine

@FurkanGozukara why did your so called peacefull friends not as least drop their kids off before trying to ram their car into IDF soldiers? and the place has a proper name, JUDEA and SAMARIA. its not in Jordan's illegal hands anymore

OMG You will never see this on FOX News or CNN : Rahma Zein exposes how Israeli soldiers murdered a Palestinian family in the West Bank, stripped the surviving children, and punched a 12-year-old boy in the face when he asked why they killed his parents.

@austudynetwork @liberte_avenir @FurkanGozukara They want to terrorise the Palestinians so they leave. They’ve been indictrinated to believe they have the right to throw the Palestinians off their land

@Mastiffs4ever @Tweet4AnnaNAFO @Lionesssa12 🤪

Real reason, that Europe won’t?…. They are afraid of their populations !! They have allowed so many Muslims who are already wreaking havoc over everything. Muslims are already marching and protesting pro Islamic Regime, can you imagine the outrage in Muslims there if the governments aid the US. Mass immigration doesn’t work and this proves it, when the governments that allowed it are scared of them.

🇺🇸🇫🇷🇬🇧🇪🇺 Straight-up public rejection of Trump’s demands. 🔴 🗣️ Macron from the Defense Council: “France did not choose this war, we are not a party to this conflict. France will never take part in operations to open or liberate the Strait of Hormuz in the current context.”

@DennabeastWins @ProjectLincoln He’s not illegal

@ProjectLincoln Quick question was he here illegally yes, the reason why he had a valid work visa is as Democrats provide loopholes to illegals… if you did the same thing in Ireland guess what they would lock your ass up and then kick your ass out

Seamus Culleton is an Irish national being held by ICE in Texas for nearly 6 months. He's lived in the U.S. for 20 years, is married to a U.S. citizen, has no criminal record, and was detained despite holding a valid work permit according to CBS News.

@ilangoldenberg Criticising Israel is not antisemitic

Almost always happy to have senior officials resigning over a war I disagree with. But the antisemitic stuff in here blaming Israel for the Iraq war and a secret conspiracy of the media and Israelis to deceive Trump into going to war with Iran is ugly stuff that plays on the worst antisemitic tropes. Donald Trump is the President of the United States and he is the one ultimately responsible for sending American troops into harms way.

@Labourlieagain @Eyeswideopen69 @SirSimonClarke Fuck off Putin bot

@Eyeswideopen69 @SirSimonClarke Senior partner 🤣 We did as the Germans and French told us,cunit

Labour are going to make the UK a rule taker. They don’t dare rejoin outright, so instead they will seek to render leaving futile. What was the point of leaving, if not to take back control, and innovate? A future government will have to reverse this.

@miriam_cates How much is Putin paying you? Or is it Kompromat?

Neither is the war in Ukraine.

@RupertMyers You’re an evil traitor aren’t you

Embattled leader in crisis to meet the president of Ukraine

@GlynMarston1 @LibDems @jacquihames @EdwardJDavey @IsabelOakeshott Because Farage and his mate Trump and ally Putin are our greatest threats. Like Hitler

@LibDems @jacquihames “Farage, Farage, Trump, Farage etc, etc..” That’s all we hear from @EdwardJDavey because he has nothing to offer the country. Having a personal dig @IsabelOakeshott in the HOC was politics at its lowest- but what do we expect from Davey? Thankfully, he’ll never get to power.

"The greatest danger to the Britain we love does not come from Tehran or Moscow. It comes from within. "From a dark form of politics that wraps itself in the Union Jack while working to undermine everything that flag is supposed to represent. "Of course, I’m talking about Nigel Farage. And Reform." -Ed Davey

@justinmmathews @LibDems How did migration cause the wealth transfer from low and middle incomes to the oligarchs? And why do the oligarchs support a party that says it wants to stop immigration?

Almost All the UK's problems stem from illegal migration, Asylum migration or low skilled migration. Many Brits dont want to see it as its painful thing to realise. You have either voted badly or your politicians have not delivered. Every politican asks or say people cannot see a GP? Why is that? If you add thousands of people a month for years of course people cannot see a GP. Services are stretched. The UK has added 17m people in approx 25 years. Do you think the UK has improved public services, added more GPs and hospitals to match it? The UK cannot and do you know why? The UK does not have enough medical graduates and that aside Britain cannot afford to and the truth and reality is that the UK will never be able to afford to. I will be clear. The UK will never be able to afford to. The structure of the population, the future of work and industry means that the UK will never be able to afford to. No country in europe needs more low skilled labour. There are no jobs for them. You cannot tax people anymore - They are already leaving. Tax payers are leaving and people who will probably never pay any tax are coming. Your only solution is a reduction in population of people who are not citizens and do not contibute to society. You must stop the flow of people with low or no skills. There are no jobs for them.

@MarieBell626390 @PippaCrerar @10DowningStreet @UKLabour It was in the manifesto

@PippaCrerar @10DowningStreet has no democratic mandate for EU reset, his party manifesto got 9.7 million votes, in 2019 14 million voted for Boris over ready EU Brexit deal..@UKLabour

NEW: Britain in standoff with Brussels over demand to cut university tuition fees for European students, with row threatening to scupper Keir Starmer’s planned EU reset. EU officials say European students should pay “home” fees of about £9,500 a year as part of youth mobility scheme, rather the higher international rate, which can rise above £60,000. But British negotiators have been blindsided by the demand, which they say was not mentioned in framework agreement signed last year and would cost British universities around £140m a year. Sources say the disagreement has brought talks to a near standstill with just three months left before summit in Brussels in late June or early July. @kiranstacey reports 👇 theguardian.com/politics/2026/…
