@ukhomeoffice We don’t have the prison places to lock these people up, we don’t deport these people.

They are released back into the community to continue to steal our future!

Even if we do deport a few of these people,
What’s to stop them getting on a boat and coming back?

[Pumpatron @DaveHen3]

@GuaZhu92 @Vergil_N_Rayne @Sargon_of_Akkad I appreciate that. Have a great weekend.

@KemiBadenoch Why then did you back count bin face if you think it’s a “fake” by-election?

[Pumpatron @DaveHen3]

@GuaZhu92 @Vergil_N_Rayne @Sargon_of_Akkad We are essentially on the same side of the conversation.

@Pando_pop @erniewiseswig @FraserNelson Correlation versus causation.

The king holds the title of Supreme Governor of the Church of England, his role is essentially constitutional and ceremonial. He is the face on the side of the bus; he isn't steering it.

@King0243_PJC This just proves we have crimes committed by our own citizens so why would we import more foreigners to commit additional crimes, this isn’t the win you think it is..

@FCDOGovUK @UKinUkraine @ukinrussia Nope! It’s ukraines fight!

@Pando_pop @erniewiseswig @FraserNelson There’s a picture of Spider-Man on the side of a bus but that doesn’t mean he’s driving it.

@andyburnham Political and promotional slogans love "hope" precisely because it’s low-cost and non-committal. It feels emotional and uplifting, but it doesn't require a timeline, a budget, or measurable outcomes.

@UKLabour I need help!

My neighbours, doctor, nurses, carers, admin staff and many people I interact with can’t speak English at a basic level.

My tax are too high!

I’m not represented by government!

Do you need more?

[Pumpatron @DaveHen3]

The State Pension is officially listed under social security/welfare benefit expenditure.
It falls under Annually Managed Expenditure, which is the spending budget for demand-led state benefits.

I don’t think it should be classed as a benefit but the government decided otherwise!

@bbcnickrobinson @BBCr4today @RupertLowe10 You didn’t do any journalism Nickolas.

@PolitlcsUK Anything to distract from the Pakistani rape gangs!

@StephenLeek7 @GeorgeUK If the NHS wasn’t trying to keep a population of 70million healthy rather than the 50 or so millions it was built for, maybe we could spend more money improving meals. But someone has to pay for all the immigrants, lawsuits and translation services the NHS is responsible for.

[Pumpatron @DaveHen3]

@Vergil_N_Rayne @Sargon_of_Akkad That’s why people like you shouldn’t be allowed to vote, you’re politics of envy are childish and dystopian at the same time!

[Pumpatron @DaveHen3]

@Vergil_N_Rayne @Sargon_of_Akkad So if someone is to pay into the system for 50yrs and then retires to another country they shouldn’t be allowed to get their pension?

[Pumpatron @DaveHen3]

@BoonARTno10 @Sargon_of_Akkad Unfortunately this isn’t correct, if they have made contributions to tie them to the system then they can claim pretty much indefinitely.

How This Is Possible
1. The EU Withdrawal Agreement Protection
Under the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement, EU citizens who were legally resident in the UK before December 31, 2020 (and UK nationals residing in the EU before that date) retain specific reciprocal social security rights. Because the user moved to the UK in 2015 and holds Settled Status, they fall under these protected rules.
2. The "Exportability" of PIP Components
Daily Living Component: Under UK and EU coordination rules, the Daily Living component of PIP is classified as a sickness benefit, which is exportable to EU/EEA countries or Switzerland. As long as the individual maintains a sufficient link to the UK social security system (or satisfies habitual residence history), they can usually continue receiving the Daily Living element after moving.
Mobility Component: Unlike the Daily Living element, the Mobility component is not exportable under UK law once a person moves permanently outside the UK.
3. Conditions Required for Exporting PIP
To export the Daily Living component, the recipient generally must:
Be moving to an EU, EEA country, or Switzerland.
Be covered by the Withdrawal Agreement rights.
Have paid enough National Insurance contributions or have a genuine, sufficient link to the UK social security system.
Notify the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) before moving.
How Reviews Work From Abroad
When a PIP review comes around (such as the poster's June 2029 review date), the DWP continues to administer the claim through its Exportability Coordinator team:
Paper-Based Assessments: Most international reviews are handled primarily via paperwork, medical records, and reports submitted by post or secure digital upload.
Remote Assessments: Any necessary health assessments are typically conducted via telephone or video call.
Local Medical Evidence: The claimant can submit medical evidence, reports, and diagnoses from local healthcare professionals and doctors in Spain (translated into English if requested).

@BasilTheGreat Julia is wearing a costume of the right wing whilst being a liberal at heart. I don’t mind her most of the time but I no longer lister to talk. Mike Graham was just about the end of talk for me!
