@BBCWorld But a documented Brit is only allowed to stay 90 days out of any 180 days. Just saying! It’s up to Spain, but I know who I would be encouraging to stay longer.

Spain approves plan to give around 500,000 undocumented migrants legal status bbc.in/4tGrlZi

@Iromg So now Labour use the taxpayer to pay for childminding, breakfast, lunch and give the parents additional money for unlimited breading of kids. These families will never see benefit claiming parents going to work.
That’s real poverty.

This hasn’t gone at all well

We want children growing up in our country healthy and happy. With Best Start free breakfast clubs, half a million more children to receive free school meals and new updates to the quality of school food, Labour is setting children up to achieve and thrive.

@GuidoFawkes @SamLowry60 But it’s not all bad for Rachel from Accounts. The IMF predict Rach will have the highest G7 growth…. Inflation… see Rach said her top priority was growth. Rach has also massively grown unemployment by 403,000.

Feeding your child breakfast is a parental responsibility, not the government’s.
Calling them ‘free’ breakfasts is misleading, they’re funded by taxpayers.
At a time when public services are under pressure, I’d rather see that money directed towards core issues like fixing roads and tackling the energy crisis.
Support should be there for genuinely vulnerable families, but normalising the state stepping in for basic parenting duties is not a direction I will ever agree with.
Mills. 🇬🇧@loud_MM91
@BenGrahamUK As a tax layer im totally fine with my money going to feed child who need it 👍 and also, the breakfast club allows me to drop my kid off at school AND get to work on time. So how about you go fuck yourself Ben?

@RespondUnable @zatzi Starmer plans to use secondary legislation to put us back in a single market, taking EU rules, but without any say in them.
English
@sucha_rascal @zatzi OK nowhere on the referendum paper did it say Brexit means leaving the Single Market or the Customs Union (as there are non-EU States in both). That aside nothing the Government is doing places us in the single market nor the customs union. So what is your point.

No mandate, no democracy, just globalist socialism by people who hate our nation state.

🚨Annunziata Rees-Mogg has slammed Labour’s move to tie the UK closer to the EU. “This is immensely controversial, it wasn’t in Labour’s manifesto, they have no mandate to do it!” She warned the plan destroys Britain’s democracy and sovereignty.

@thecarolemalone So now Labour use the taxpayer to pay for childminding, breakfast, lunch and give the parents additional money for unlimited breading of kids. Whole families will never see anyone ever going to work.

Absolutely right. It’s not the State’s responsibility to give kids their breakfast - it’s a parents job!!!

They are buying your votes. This isn’t about giving struggling families help. This is about ‘making mornings easier for all families’. Do we really want the state doing everything for us? What about personal responsibility? How infantilising.

@Arron_banks He only looked at part of the story.
He completely forgot to mention that the vast majority of pensioners (9 million) NOW pay tax that offsets the triple lock. Over 1 million at the 40% rate.
Pensioners are paying tax for benefits to the 9.3 million lazy economically inactive.

"That's the way it works"
A generation ago, total pension expenditure was around £20bn.
Today that figure is expected to be £177.8bn.
If pensions had only kept up with inflation, this would only be £59bn.
They don't know how lucky they are (and how unsustainable this is).

@LondonWageSlave @NewsonTed And when the old were young they also paid the pensions of the generation before - that’s the way it works...

Should schools feed children dinner too?
I know of a school that does.
We already want schools teaching kids to wear nappies and brush their teeth.
Just how much should schools do instead of families?
At what point do we think this undermines the integrity of the family?
CSarah@SciPolEdComedy
@Miss_Snuffy You’re wrong on this. I agree with most of what you say but breakfast clubs really do help working parents and encourage us to have bigger families

@drrkhalid1 An apple, toast, corn flakes, & orange juice are generally not considered a well-balanced breakfast by nutritional standards. While it consists of common breakfast items, this combination is very high in fast-acting carbohydrates and sugar, but low in protein, healthy fibre.

Here’s a sharper, more viral version with punch 👇
Children can’t thrive on empty stomachs — and finally, someone is acting like it.
With free breakfast clubs, expanded school meals, and real upgrades to food quality, Labour Party is putting fuel where it matters most — into the next generation.
This isn’t just policy.
It’s the difference between surviving and succeeding.

@wesstreeting Wes - TYPICAL LABOUR LIE.
“Delivering differently”.
Professor Sir Mike Richards’ Review of NHS diagnostics capacity COMMISIONED AND COMPLETED IN 2020 UNDER THE CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT.
Already 160 CDCs operational BEFORE LABOUR CAME TO POWER
Stop claiming other peoples hard work.

We’re investing more in the NHS and delivering differently.
I'm investing £237 million in 36 new and improved Community Diagnostic Centres.
This means shorter waits for tests and scans closer to home, more convenient services, and more footfall to our high streets.

Either Sir Desmond is paid to lie or he’s totally unaware of the way the state pension system works. Either way, he’s not fit to be a sir, and this is a nasty piece of work. The state pension is perfectly affordable. Des is a fool.

@DesmondSwayne The majority of pensioners NOW pay tax which compketely offsets the triple lock.
You fail to take into account that before the triple lock was introduced the vast majority of pensioners did not pay tax. There was a higher tax allowance that ceased and the basic allowance frozen

@RebeccaCNReid Funny how people have managed to do it for decades. Much easier now many work from home and have flexible working.
The rubbish Labour feed the kids for breakfast isn’t even decent balanced food.

Breakfast clubs are not about breakfast, they're largely about pre-school care because it's impossible for two working parents to commute to their desks at 9AM if schools start at 8.40.
Julia Hartley-Brewer@JuliaHB1
The breakfasts are not free. They are paid for by taxes - mostly on parents who feed their own kids. Most of these 10,000 children would have had a perfectly healthy breakfast at home without these clubs. This isn't about helping the poorest kids, it's the state taking over the basic job of parenting.
