@sharrond62 Same here. The thing is too, we’ve ditched unhealthy snacks a while back, we don’t eat puddings, we don’t treat ourselves and we get food from the basic range. We can’t cut our cloth anymore.

Wow! Food is now by biggest monthly bill. And most of my kids are in their own places now! Thou I do feed the grand kids occasionally. How normal young families with 3 or more children cope I do not know.

@Solisgh2 @Goosey30111568 But not the massive free hand outs to foreign countries????

@Goosey30111568 Agreed. The state pension is absolutely killing us as a country. Scrap it.

The UK is paying out more in welfare. Than it collects in income tax. They are breaking us.

@Goosey30111568 Yeah and apparently pensioners are the problem. They’re idiots, they can’t even do basic maths….

@BlondeKbf @NobaconEgbert Exactly. The pensioners at least paid into this, whereas politicians haven’t put their hands in their pockets, and probably never will. Greed, greed, greed.

650 MPs are getting the following government benefits- Free rent Free council tax Free utilities Free childcare Free travel Free fuel Free insurance And more! On top of almost £100k salary! All paid by working tax payers! But hey let’s go after pensioners

@iluminatibot Unqualified people in positions of power should not have a voice on something they know nothing about.

Question: "Is it transphobic to say only women have a cervix?" Keir Starmer: "It is something that shouldn't be said. It is not right."

@MundayHugh @tractorgirly @Sadie44689664 @MaddieJBlack Out and out blatant corruption if true. People in power doing this shouldn’t last another second on the job. But that’s the problem. They’re only boss is us, and we can’t do a thing, and they know it. No morals, no care. Disgusting.

@Sadie44689664 @MaddieJBlack Flynn is another feathering his own nest he took a £30,000 ‘donation’ from a wind farm company days after they were awarded a massive contract. Don’t vote for them. pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/politics/65…

Projected Result Aberdeen South and North Kincardine SNP 12,016 Conservative 11,185 VOTE CONSERVATIVES remove Flynn.

@AgentP22 So do we get a share of the profits?

Wow! No surprises here. Brian Cox & Alan Cumming’s dreadful new movie was bankrolled by taxpayers. It clearly pays to support the SNP. WHAT A DISGRACE. thescottishsun.co.uk/news/16223113/…

@DiegoZorrero For all we know he could have lost time per lap due to his earlier collision with Lewis. But not one commentator mentioned this about him. He drove clean and steady. Looked after his tyres. A good drive from Franco. 👍🏁

Quien no valore el resultado de Colapinto hoy en Miami, no sabe nada de Fórmula 1. Ser octavo es tener delante suyo solo a los dos McLaren, los dos Ferrari, los dos Mercedes y Max. Se dan cuenta? O les hago un dibujito. El problema de los "anti" es ahora encontrar una excusa.

@gorbalsgoebbels @AlanDuncan1971 Their supporters won’t hear a bad word against them. Their heads are so deep down in the sand. 😢☹️

How can anyone in all seriousness think Scotland under the SNP is thriving? They’ve had 19 years of decline & division. We need a functioning Holyrood to manage the devolved public services. Independence isn’t happening. Don’t waste another 5 years on the SNP.

@Resist_CBDC You what’s convenient? Cash. Cash is very convenient.

2026 “Digital ID is really convenient.” 2030 “Why won’t my money work?”

@CraigHouston_ 19 years and they’re still begging for their cushy jobs.

They’ve had 19 years.

@ABridgen @angus_nicholl If they want closer ties, why don’t they move their necks closer? 🤪

Britain will pay the EU £1bn a year for ‘closer ties’. Where was the referendum on giving powers back to the EU? Starmer and his Government are so unpopular any policy they proposed would be rejected in a Referendum. That’s why he’s not giving you one . gbnews.com/politics/brita…

@TheBritishIntel If only we had, oh what’s the word, oh yeah, farmers!!!!!! Instead we have solar panels….

🇬🇧 FOOD PRICES SET TO SURGE ACROSS THE UK Prices are projected to climb sharply, with some forecasts pointing towards a 50% rise by November. Households already under pressure are being pushed further. Everyday essentials becoming harder to afford. Country in complete decline under this government.

@RachelD1892 @RayWallis At what %?

I just watched Starmer proudly announcing the UK will join a £78 billion loan to Ukraine. WTF!!?? We're broke, highest ever levels of debt, highest ever levels of tax, economy a total mess. Where is that money coming from when we simply haven't got it!? Something is very wrong!

@forest_jay The local TV company does its own broadcast. That is the problem. F1 would benefit from a professional TV unit that follows the GP circus around. Some are obviously better at it than others. But sometimes you get more coverage of a backmarker because he is a local. This is nice

Whoever is in charge of directing the F1 coverage this season needs sacking. So many key moments missed, so many moments not replayed. It's a sport on the decline and that's not the teams fault #F1 #MiamiGP

@F1BigData And they went so slowly not a single part was worn out. 🤪🤪

For the first time this year, both Aston Martins have finished the race

@AngelaRayner If you can’t afford kids you shouldn’t expect others to pay for them.

By ending the two-child benefit cap, we have delivered relief for millions of children whose families struggled to provide the basic necessities of life. This is the difference we can make together, but only with your support. Vote for your Labour team on the 7th May 🌹

@Artemisfornow Yet pensions are the UK’s problem? It’s madness.

What? … 625,618 households received more in benefits than the average UK worker's salary after tax and 16,000 received over £60,000 in welfare payments … DOUBLE the average annual take home pay for a worker in the UK after tax. This is not a functioning society 🤡

@stuey_beef @Lord_Talbot64 We have a government leaking money into places it shouldn’t be going and they now need to start robbing those that live here. Meanwhile they seem to get richer and won’t have to worry about money ever!!! It’s funny how those that have it can have a say about those who don’t. ☹️

The state pension is not a random government favour, it’s the back end of a 35–40 year compulsory “contract” where people are forced to hand over National Insurance on the clear promise of a basic pension at the end. Politicians and think tanks helped design an unfunded, pay‑as‑you‑go system where today’s workers pay today’s pensioners, then have the gall to call it “unsustainable” as if the public dreamt it up. If a private firm sold you a retirement product on fixed terms, took your money for four decades, then announced at 66 that you “didn’t really need it” and would henceforth be means‑tested or frozen, they would be in court for mis‑selling and fraud. The crisis here is not pensioners “leeching off the young”, it’s a political class that built a Ponzi‑style NI system, diverted the proceeds for other spending, and now wants to default on the people who kept their side of the bargain. You do not blame the victims of a defective product for believing the brochure; you go after the people who wrote it.

@OrevaZSN Yes, I’m now unsubscribing more and more. I’m also deleting apps. Fed up of this.

You know what really bugs me these days? We can't own anything anymore. Everything is a subscription. Adobe, Notion, Spotify. You don't just buy things once, you keep paying every month. You literally have to pay for everything forever. Isn't anyone else bothered by this?
