Regarding recent press coverage

Benefits should be a safety net not a lifestyle choice 😡

I was one of those hungry kids. I would sneak back to the locker room during gym class and rifle through pants pockets looking for a dollar to steal so I could eat. I got caught eventually and took a horrible beating from a guy. It was deserved and the embarrassment of getting g outed put and end to it. I’m not one for handouts but if the state requires a child be present for the day the state should feed them. For the record, I’m against welfare and snap in general.

I work often work in neighbourhoods where most who live there don’t work. While I'm up and at it at 7.30, you won't see them before 11, unless they're on the school run, in their PJs, then in their 25 plate car on pip, then straight back to bed. Old slippers and pizza boxes are strewn about in the streets, weed hangs in the air,  little kids play in gardens full of rubbish and broken trampolines. They've all got dogs, they've all got phones and everything else. I'm 50 almost, and working since before I left school is taking its toll. On Wednesday Labour are going to fuck me, you and every other worker over again to pay for this shit show, raising other people's kids and feeding and housing an invading army of people that hate us and abuse our women. We're fools to put up with this, history will view us as idiots if we do.

The next Conservative Government will ban doctors from going on strike - just like we do for the army and police.

OH… How did I forget… Create an AI system that calls all people claiming mental health benefits daily. The system is designed to offer mental health counselling at no cost and to make suggestions about how to make improvements. A condition of claiming mental health benefits is that you participate in daily talk therapy with the AI. When the AI determines you are capable of working you switch across to normal benefits. The system can also be expanded to job seeking and career counselling. We now have the technology to help guide people every day towards better choices.

Every single one of these students will be entitled to claim asylum once they arrive here, because of the ECHR. These students Labour are giving scholarships to never need to return to Gaza. Our laws are no longer fit for purpose. This is why we need to leave the ECHR and control our borders. It’s the only way we can decide who gets to stay in our country.

We were given a huge gift by the British public of a huge majority. But now we are on 20% in the polls. We have to stop making mistakes and start listening. And we must be prepared for the fight of our lives against Farage.

We shouldn't be afraid to start properly talking about restoring the death penalty.

This is the clip of my interview.
