Crazy from Burnham. Young people will be begging for Starmer to stay.

[Lucy Fisher @LOS_Fisher]

NEW: Andy Burnham has hinted at a new multibillion-pound spending commitment if he becomes PM, saying that more than 3.5mn women “deserve” compensation over what he regards as a pension scandal

Earlier I attended a Makerfield hustings event hosted by @MENnewsdesk, in which Burnham said: “I stick by campaigners that I support. I stuck by the Hillsborough families, I’ll stick by the Waspi women because they deserve some recompense for the unfairness.”

Stressing he wouldn’t ditch his longterm support for Waspi women, he said he felt “uncomfortable” that some politicians threw their support behind a cause but then went into government and “didn’t do anything”

Victim- "I have been stabbed. I have been stabbed. I have been stabbed. I cannot breathe. I need an ambulance. I have been stabbed".
Police- "I don't think you have mate".
Police arrest the stabbing victim and handcuff him.
Sickening. Police are not listening to him.

@reformparty_uk used to have actual radical policies. Now Triple Lock for current pensioners and shafting young people future pensions while making them fund current pensioners increasing benefits. Now no more than the @Conservatives tribute act.

Defined benefit public sector pensions are the British state’s second largest liability.

They’re about £2.4 trillion - around 100 per cent of GDP.

The old parties have ducked this for years.

Most of the media won’t talk about it either.

But Reform UK will not dodge this mammoth issue.

Richard Tice has already announced that a Reform would close Local Government Pension Schemes to new entrants.

And today Reform UK launched a review of whether new entrants for any defined benefit scheme should be permitted to such schemes.

Reform UK have already announced £40bn of yearly savings.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be saying more about the true cost of the Boriswave and unskilled migration we’ve had - and how Reform will stop it blowing a hole in the country’s finances.

And we will commit to more savings in the coming months.

It’s because we are the only the party with a plan to cut wasteful spending that we can credibly commit to keeping the triple lock.

So, yes: we’ll balance the books.

We just won’t do it on the backs of British people who’ve paid in their whole life. Instead, we’ll save tens of billions by resetting Government spending so it puts the British people – and only the British people – first. 

Politics is about choices. 

And we choose the British people.

We will every time.

Why on earth is the Health Secretary refusing to negotiate with doctors?

Patients already can’t get treated on time, strike action is the last thing they need. Strike action is the last thing that doctors want.

If strikes happen, patients will know who to blame 👇🏻

There’s nothing merciful about Noelia Castillo’s death https://t.co/IA2I64Jgb7

So what is the point of the ECHR? Allow people to kill themselves with severe mental health issues caused by being gang raped by migrants who's Human Rights will be protected by ECHR. This poor woman has been failed by both Spanish authorities and European Courts.

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

🇪🇸 25-year-old Noelia Castillo Ramos has been euthanized

She suffered from borderline personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder

The European Court of Human Rights found no obstacles and ruled that she had the right to die, despite her father’s efforts to save her.

Today is the 33rd anniversary of the day the IRA bombed Warrington town centre and killed my son Tim and 3 yr old Johnathan Ball. Words can never describe how losing a child leaves a huge hole in your heart and your family. Eternal love Tim ❤️❤️
