For the retired people in the comments claiming "I paid more than my fair share".
Actually, most of you didn't.
You're being subsidised by me, my peers, and the children we won't be able to have.

PSA: Pensioner Spending is the single largest line item here - *£160bn*. More than half of all benefit spending. More than NHS England, or all NHS Providers. Want to pay less tax? Reduce the benefits we give to people who’ve had an entire life to prepare and save.

Last year Britain lost a THIRD of its refineries.
Why? A Carbon Tax on industry that Ed Miliband doubled.
We won’t need any less petrol, diesel, jet fuel, ceramics or chemicals - we'll just rely more on foreign imports.
We must axe the Carbon Tax and save British industry.

Can I ask why, if a pensioner has worked all their life, they only have the state pension to rely on? Didn’t decide to save ?
Put away for a rainy day ?
Sounds like poor planning to me.
And yes if your children have flown the nest and you, or you and your spouse are knocking around in a 3 or 4 bedroom house you bought decades ago- SELL it.
You’ll have more than enough to live on.

@TanyaSzendeffy It’s just property speculation knocking down good buildings that defined areas , towns and cities for 100yrs and replace them with crap

Is it true that the King is not delivering a message for Easter. ? If this is true why is he not ? We need to have a reason. If he can give messages to Muslims on their special religious days surely he must send a message to Christians. @RoyalFamily

Britain has been a Christian nation for over 1,400 years.
The title Defender of the Faith isn’t symbolic, it carries weight.
Yet this Easter, there’s silence.
To overlook the faith of the nation at its most sacred time is a real bad look.

Leave Edinburgh Waverley ATM and the first thing you see is a giant KFC advert hiding one of many stores left to rot on Princes Street.
We spoke to conservationists, who are concerned that allowing these kinds of displays is "eroding" Scotland's architectural heritage

@richardmarcj Isn’t this mainly because traditional working class occupations have either disappeared or are extreme poverty wages now?

Why do they keep saying this??
Every member of this Cabinet comes from a middle-class profession: a lawyer or worked in politics, public affairs, or finance.
Not a single one has a working-class occupational background.
This is the *least* working-class Labour Cabinet ever.
The Labour Party@UKLabour
This Labour Government is the most working-class government in the history of the UK.

@wesstreeting Don’t play politics with NHS recruitment. By doing so it shows deep down you really don’t care for this national treasure
English
Thanks to this Government resident doctors have already received a 28.9% average pay rise.
The deal on offer goes further on pay, and would create more training places - including 1,000 now.
The BMA can’t even offer an alternative proposal.
I’d urge everyone to read this👇🏻

The NHS is in crisis — and the government’s solution is to remove training jobs, likely pushing even more doctors to leave or work overseas.
The government thinks it is acting tough, but it is the patients who will suffer. What a disgrace.

Remember @LeeAndersonMP_ and Nottinghamshire Reform UK leader Mick Barton saying the flags put up in the county costing £75k would be cost neutral due to sponsorship?
FOI has revealed that there has been 0 sponsorship. Absolute bullshitters.

@reformexposed @LeeAndersonMP_ Surely this a Mis use of council funds and unlawful.
