@DrChrisParry That would be a great deal for the gov in the overwhelming majority of ‘tax payer’ cases. Most people take from the system. On average all women and most men.

Give me a refund on my national insurance paid over 55 years and I’ll forego my state pension.

@shivmalik Did more ‘boomers’ buy jointly or single? Everyone these days is alone.

Dear boomers, can you afford to buy the house you live in currently with the wage you used to earn before you retired? If you can’t, then that’s the whole housing problem in a nutshell. It really is that simple to understand.

@Katie_Lam_MP Can you hear that…. Sounds like a shredder.

The Government’s grooming gangs inquiry will now investigate the role of ethnicity, religion, and culture in motivating these crimes. Thank you to everybody who helped us force them into this. There’s still a lot of work to do, but we’re one step closer to the whole truth.

@Dougmcg1 When your threads are just you insulting everyone who replies to your posts. Might be time to pack it in chief.

Let's frame it another way. People have become so poor they need to steal food.

@GoodwinMJ W Ai

I’ve been attacked in recent weeks. An attempted cancellation. It failed. Tonight, Suicide of a Nation is officially a Sunday Times national bestseller. The people have spoken. They want to know the truth about what is happening to Britain shorturl.at/1BNXB

Before “diversity” there was: - Less Crime - Stronger Economies - Better Wages - Affordable Homes - Less Illness - More Unity - Higher Societal Trust - Cleaner Cities - More Peace Multiculturalism is a national cancer that slowly kills countries.

@RupertLowe10 Kids at my place have 3 cars and 2 foreign holidays then moan about affordability. Not everyone sure, but many. My nan didn’t have a fridge or a washing machine or a colour telly until very late in her life. Foreign holidays, you must be joking.

Owning a home is FAR more difficult for young men and women today than it was for my generation. That’s just a fact. Average earnings have not kept pace with average house prices - to suggest otherwise is ignorant. The gap has grown at an astronomical rate. The young have every right to feel pissed off, I’m angry for them. And I detest this patronising attitude of people my age that we just happened to manage it all so much better through ‘common sense’ and fewer avocados. There are millions of young Brits who work hard, take care of their money and dedicate themselves - and yes, they are struggling to find a proper home. They have done nothing wrong. In fact, they’ve done everything right but the system still failed them. I am ensuring that there is a political party to finally represent them - Restore Britain is that party. A party that supports the aspirational and committed young British men and women. Scrapping interest on student loans. Stripping back the power of empire-building planning bureaucrats who cruelly prevent sensible house-building in fair locations. Crushing the overbearing regulations that make building anything so very cumbersome. Overhauling leasehold rules which trap owners with mutating service charges. Ending the vindictive war on landlords to make sustainably renting a proper option. Slashing tax to hand back financial control. Entirely abolishing stamp duty for Brits. Because we will not tinker with the status quo, we will not conserve it, we will not reform it. We will fundamentally change how this country operates. The model must break. I will make you one promise. Restore Britain will break it.

@UKTogetherAll Is the far right in the room with us now??

Teachers came out in full force on Saturday to march against the far right.

@blaiklockBP How many of those over 55’s had no mortgage under 40? This is clown level posting.

Over-55 homeowners have £3.4 trillion of property wealth. £321,213 per household. 76% have no mortgage. 1.6% of under 40's own a house with no mortgage.

@IAmBritishReal Memory holed.

This is the animal that ploughed his car into innocent bystanders in Derby. No mention of motive or religion of course. We all know when and why people started ramming cars into people.

Hogwarts be like:

@Grummz She’s going to be unlikable and narcissistic isn’t she.

Every time they trot out this PR line before the movie, you know the movie is bad.

@PeterMcCormack @ZoeJardiniere What happens to those who don’t pay in? It’s odd that there’s not streets lined with homeless pensioners… Live on benefits all your life and never save, big tv, motability car. Here have “pension credit”.

The honest conversation is that the pay-as-you go pension system + triple lock is a Ponzi scheme. It steals from the present of young people. A public pension system is not economically viable and should be dismantled. People should earn the pension they desire, not steal a retirement from the young.

Until we have an honest conversation about our ageing population, there’s no hope of having a reckoning about how to sustainably support people as they age. Older folks deserve a gold standard retirement. But we’re not being honest about what that costs, & how we can achieve it.

@TheCriticalDri2 People on steroids who don’t train gained more muscle than people who were off gear but trained.

Do you have ANY idea what these guys had to put themselves through to look like this? But no, being asked to suck your gut in for a few seconds was clearly far worse.

@THemingford This is rage bait right, no one is this blind?

£12.71. What a joke. Needs to be £23 per hour minimum. Absolute minimum.

@lukejcr Get a job

Reform pretend to be on the side of working people. The reality? They’re led by snobby millionaires who have no idea how much cost-of-living support matters to families. They’re not on your side. Labour is.

@archer_rs Delusional

People may dislike PM Starmer and the Labour Party but they are actually doing what other politicians only talk about, stopping the boats and reducing illegal immigration. No wonder Farage is no longer talking about it.

@NeilMcCoyWard We just replace every young apprentice that leaves with another remote worker in South Africa.

So the minimum wage just went up and the government is very proud of itself. Here is what they are not telling you. Your wage goes up. Your tax goes up. Your National Insurance goes up. HMRC takes its cut before you see a penny of that £1,500. Now your employer is paying more for every single person on their books. They are not absorbing that. Nobody absorbs that. So prices go up. The coffee you buy on the way to work costs more. The lunch you grab costs more. The haircut costs more. All of it costs more because the people serving you are now on higher wages too, and their employers did exactly the same thing. So you got a pay rise, and everything got more expensive at the same time. Almost like it cancelled out. If they actually wanted workers to keep more money they would cut their tax. That's it. That's the whole idea. But that would mean the government collecting less. So instead they raise the minimum wage, taking a cut on the way in and benefit from the price rises on the way out through VAT, and call it a historic day for working people.

@KemiBadenoch We are definitely at the end of the ‘get more of what we tolerate’ phase, on that I do agree. Aim high, vote Lowe.

Children smashing up shops in broad daylight, stealing and even filming themselves doing it as if it were a game, is a much bigger problem than is being recognised. This is a total collapse of consequences. To those making snide comments about race or black kids - you do not see scenes like this in Lagos or Nairobi. Not because the children there are different, but because actions have consequences. There are clear boundaries. Parents, communities, and the authorities do not wring their hands or look the other way. Here, we have created a culture where too many young people believe they can do what they like and nothing will happen. That is the problem. And we should be honest about where that leads. If a child loots a shop today, films it for social media, and faces no real consequence, they are going to do much worse tomorrow. This is why under my leadership Conservatives are focusing on ENFORCEMENT, not just making more and more rules. Our Take Back Our Streets Campaign is about getting 10,000 more police officers, immediate justice and immediate punishment. But let’s be honest, this is not just a policing issue. It is a failure of authority at every level. Parents need to know where their children are and what they are doing. Discipline should start at home, not in a courtroom. We have also weakened the system around them. Deterrence is the backbone of criminal justice. Labour have changed the law so anyone receiving a sentence under 12 months will automatically walk free, instead receiving a suspended sentence. When people believe offences like this will not lead to meaningful punishment, we should not be surprised when more of it happens. You get more of what you tolerate. It’s not like we haven’t been here before. In 2011, when riots spread, the Conservative response was swift and visible. People saw consequences. And behaviour rapidly changed. That is what is missing now. This all comes down to fairness. Law-abiding people should not feel like fools while gangs smash and grab without consequence. The sad truth is the communities most damaged by this behaviour are often the very ones these young people come from. Only one approach will fix this: clear rules, real consequences, and the confidence to enforce them. It’s time to Take Back Our Streets and bring back a culture of enforcement.

@KemiBadenoch Why is it only black kids that don’t appear to fear consequences here then?
