These are my 2 youngest, they’re why I had mat leave in 2016 & 2018/19 & why the #SEISS supposed to help us through CV19 is £60 A MONTH
I wonder how @RishiSunak & @hmtreasury would feel if they had to actually meet the kids they’ve chosen to abandon in this crisis

PIP 👏 IS 👏 NOT 👏 AN 👏 OUT 👏OF 👏 WORK 👏 BENEFIT 👏
Get it into your skull.
You can claim it with or without a job. It’s to pay for the additional costs of being disabled - which on average is £1010 a month extra.
How many times do we have to repeat ourselves?
My little brother has Spina Bifida and can't walk. At all. Every 4 years he has to go for a PIP assessment where they see that yup, indeed his legs Do Not Work and his Spine has a Big hole in it, then he leaves. It's such a fuckin stupid system.
So they need to prove their son can't work to claim Universal Credit, but the local job centre is not wheelchair accessible. So whilst they wait for a face-to-face assessment, they have to look for work for him. Applying for jobs that he can't do.
The cruelty is the point.
PIP is not linked to employment.
I'll say it again. PIP is not linked to employment.
Anyone who is linking PIP to employment status is lying, pure and simple.
Reform UK supporters are asking 'who funds Count Binface?' The short answer is, not a Thailand-based crypto billionaire. And not a guy who was banged up for offering to launder money for a coke cartel.
Fuck me even Habib is nailing Farage good and proper. Montgomery looks like has a severe case of buyers’ regret combined with verbal diarrhoea. He knows he’s fucked up and is swan diving into a vat of shit.
“I need your help to beat a man in fancy dress.”
This has got to go down in history as the most ridiculous by-election ever.
I’ve never laughed so much…it’s going to be a funny few weeks! 🤣

Left: Nigel Farage says he wasn't in politics at the time George Cottrell was donating to him
Right: George Cottrell literally had business cards with Nigel Farage's email on them
If they want to scrap PIP we could always go back to DLA and basing it on the medical opinions of the doctors who actually treat the claimant and not some DWP decision maker with an NVQ L3 in health & social care and 3 weeks job training
Count Binface admits he has not been to Clacton.
“I thought I’d take a leaf out of the current incumbent’s book, and so I specifically have never visited it because I thought that was the done thing.”
@CountBinface | #TimesRadio
So @Nigel_Farage can't hold surgeries in Clacton because of a "security risk", but he will be fine to pound the streets canvassing?!
Make it make sense👀🤦♀️🤪
The Metropolitan Police has officially launched a criminal investigation into a £37,500 campaign donation made to Robert Jenrick during his 2024 Conservative leadership campaign.
The donation is allegedly linked to Gary Klopfenstein, a convicted American fraudster who pleaded guilty to a fraud scheme involving more than $2 million and is facing up to 20 years in prison.
BBC: "have you ever been to Clacton?"
@CountBinface: "no, because I understand from the current incumbent that is part of how you do the job."
politics is BACK, baby
Alright let’s have a proper scientific poll now, so please share / repost for a nice big range of views. If you lived in Clacton, who would you vote for?
Andrew Marr: " The Commons rules are very clear and they forbid face coverings "
Count Binface: " Well the Commons rules are very clear about what you can do with donations , but that seems to have got all murky so why can't I see how the line can get tested ? "

😹 😆 😹 Robert Jenrick says a Farage victory in Clacton would send a “powerful signal”.
Tim Stanley wasn’t convinced: “So the message to the wider electorate is… Farage can beat a field of one talking bin?”
Robert Jenrick: “Nigel Farage had the courage to put himself up for a by-election, which very few people do in politics.”
Tim Stanley: “Well, you didn’t.”
Jenrick: “Well… quite.”
Sometimes the best interview moments need no commentary. 🤣
