Not to be the friend who’s too woke but I think we’ve genuinely lost the plot here.

[Sonny @thehonestletter]

Roughly one in three UK adults aged 20 to 34 still lives with their parents.

Not students. Grown adults with full-time jobs, plenty of them in their thirties, sleeping in the room they grew up in because a one-bed flat costs more than they bring home.

Their parents had left home, married and bought a house by the same age.

Nothing about that generation was more capable. They just got there before the ladder went up.

Honey, if you think I’m going to give up, I’m still waiting for the Yuri on Ice movie to this day. Please, do better.

Should start with getting those lazy bum pensioners off that triple lock that costs the UK over half its welfare bill equaling to more than any other benefit cost combine. They’re the real benefit scroungers.

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Andy Burnham to make it harder for people to claim benefits, vows to ‘get serious’ about cutting welfare bill.

Silence on corporate welfare.

Work doesn't pay enough: 37.8% of Universal Credit claimants are in work.

Women will be hardest hit.

this is who people were demanding the greens stand aside for btw

One thing you can absolutely guarantee in life.

When Labour ministers talk about difficult choices, it's never the rich and powerful that will be taking a hit.

[桜理 @MutsuAnjin]

At some point we do need to confront the elephant in the room that what’s driving Japanese immigration policy is not economic calculus or concern for social cohesion, but rather a eugenic desire to maintain ethnic purity.

@RekkaAlexiel @Travelin32m Unfortunately! Wish I could live in the delusion they do maybe then I’d be more at peace 😂

[トリ @AngelofSunday18]

@Travelin32m @RekkaAlexiel Oooo wanting to be treated with human decency and fairness! Such a crime of entitlement! Call the police!!!

[トリ @AngelofSunday18]

@utsu_de_undo @cawaiikumasan @ruxuelz I don’t expect anything from the government. Most foreigners don’t I just expect to be treated fairly and if you think that’s an unreasonable ask then you are just a bad person and this conversation will go nowhere. You can’t grow tired of something you’ve never done anyway.

@utsu_de_undo @cawaiikumasan @ruxuelz Pension is just 1 part of the issue with this rule. It helps no one, it’s exclusionary. Legal residents who pay taxes, work hard and adapt to the culture shouldn’t be told “しょうがない” I wouldn’t want Japanese people who live in my home country to suffer these same cruel rules.

[トリ @AngelofSunday18]

@utsu_de_undo @cawaiikumasan @ruxuelz If a country doesn’t want foreigners retiring in the country then they shouldn’t be forced to pay a pension they won’t get completely refunded if they leave. Even if they can claim it from abroad with how weak the yen is it’s useless abroad, it’s pennies when converted to £ $ €

[トリ @AngelofSunday18]

@LpV1i5aKtO78126 I love how people jump to “if you don’t like it leave” it just shows you have no good argument. No smart foreigner expects to be treated the same, we do however have the right to be treated fairly. Only the government who needs a scape goat and the uneducated think this is fair.

[トリ @AngelofSunday18]

@LpV1i5aKtO78126 @ruxuelz Foreigners pay taxes too. We pay employment insurance that we can never use as if we lose our jobs we get deported. We pay into pensions that can only be refunded 5 years if we leave. We tend to be younger therefore use the health insurance less yet still pay the same.

[トリ @AngelofSunday18]

@cawaiikumasan @ruxuelz Can I have the source and research to back up your claim? Foreigners tend to be a younger group and are more likely to pay more into the system than take out especially if we decide to leave Japan we only receive a maximum 5 year pension refund.

[Richard @gaijinthoughts]

In my opinion, illegal immigration has never been a serious issue in Japan. Immigration enforcement has long been strict. It's only become a major political issue because xenophobes have tried to make it one, and the LDP has used it to distract from its poor economic policies.

[Costanza R.d'O. @CostanzaRdO]

So annoyed by this. And what about regular people in Japan?? What about *their* buying power? Japan imports much of its energy, food, and raw materials. When the yen falls, gasoline, electricity, natural gas, coffee, wheat, cooking oil, smartphones, and other imported products become more expensive. Also, groceries get pricier. Even domestically produced food often relies on imported feed, fertilizer, or fuel. Therefore, supermarket prices tend to rise across the board. Traveling abroad becomes expensive. Japanese tourists get less for their money overseas. And inflation outpaces pay for many workers. While some companies have raised wages, higher living costs are eating into families’ purchasing power.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

This is an appalling lack of judgement and the surest sign yet that Britain will continue to be Trump's lackey.

The war in Iran has cost countless lives, and breached international law - yet we continue to support it.

Very, very concerning. Very, very continuity Starmer.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Day 1 saw Burnham back the US in using UK bases to carry on its war of aggression.

Day 2, we've heard his plans to saddle low-income countries with more debts.

New face, old politics. We need real change: standing up to Trump and showing real leadership on the world stage.
