"capping interest at 6%" as a policy achievement is beautiful stuff. Like when they capped bus fares at £3 a year after they'd been capped at £2.

I was told “borrow money to go to university and you can repay what you owe once you start earning enough”.

Not “go to university and later we will feel free to seize as much of your income as we decide to fund the state’s other spending commitments”.

If the British media covered issues affecting different generations equally and fairly, the student loan scandal, which will see young people robbed of many thousands of pounds, would be top of every single news bulletin and on the front of every single newspaper - just like when wealthier pensioners faced losing £200 a year in Winter Fuel Payments. But it doesn’t and so it won’t be.

Assaulting a player on the ground who’s about to be stretchered off. What a great, great club Arsenal are. Down from the manager.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

I’m on a Plan 2 student loan and the repayment threshold has been frozen into oblivion, just like income tax. Every year, without a vote or a headline, more of my income is quietly taken through fiscal drag and student loan repayments.

At the same time, the government finds endless money to raise pensions above inflation and to uprate benefits, but nothing for the people actually working and paying for all of this. It is a joke.

I am sick of being treated as a walking cash machine for an ever-growing population of the economically inactive.

We are being ruled by fucking Monstrous Cunts, bending over backwards to Please a demographic that wouldn't Piss on them.

going to become a waspi woman but for 31 year olds who weren't expecting tuition fees to go from 3k to 9k

If a patient gives me a £40 engraved pen as a gift I have to by law politely decline it (rightly).

But the guy in charge of UK healthcare in government can take £350k+ from private healthcare links and that’s absolutely normal and definitely not a conflict of interest?!

Make it make sense.

[millie @itsmilliejones]

can you imagine if they worked this hard to support working class people who’s standards of living have plummeted

[the infamous©️STAFFORD MVP @leedsnoinfidel]

Blows my mind that MPs in this country are more interested in serving foreign fascist hooligans rather than protecting the local communities in their own country. We are absolutely fucked. It’s only going to end one way

[Babble @Babble____]

No money to scrap the two child cap and lift 350k children out of poverty but there's £1 Billion to implement a digital ID system.

[Evolve Politics @evolvepolitics]

Keir Starmer seems totally oblivious to the fact that he is the Prime Minister and has more power to direct the public conversation than anyone.

Instead, he allows a party with 4 MPs to dominate the narrative - and he just follows their lead like a lost puppy.

Pathetic man.

The Green Party and Plaid Cymru have 4 seats each, the same as Reform.

Sinn Féin have 7 seats.

SNP have 9

Independents have 21

LibDems have 72.

Why is every media channel constantly blasting out Reform propaganda?

@BBCNews? @SkyNews @ITVNewsPolitics @Channel4News ?

Today Jeremy Corbyn joined a picket line and Wes Streeting urged resident doctors to scab

At next year’s local elections there will be a clear choice between an anti-worker party and a pro-worker party

Defence spending is supposed to be increased by around 117% over the next decade. Weird they don't do this framing with that innit?

[Ally Fogg @AllyFogg]

Periodic reminder that b/millionaires who threaten to leave the country rather than pay taxes should be routinely & constantly vilified, abused, described as traitors who hate their country, called leeches, parasites and scum all over the front pages of every patriotic newspaper.

[Paul @PFR187]

Remember when they said privatisation would improve the Royal Mail. Just like it improved our water, gas, electricity and trains.

The NHS will be next for this great 'improvement'.

[Laura Elliott @TinyWriterLaura]

the fact that Rachel Reeves’ tears get more sympathy from the political class than the tears and the deaths of the disabled people she’s targeting is exactly what’s wrong with this country actually
