@bphillipsonMP Lifting 2 child benefit cap just gives non working people more money to spend on themselves! It makes them so much better off than than many working couples who cant afford > 2 kids. I voted for you as you said you werent changing it! I am seeing claimants on 3-4k+ tax free

@AndyBurnhamGM i wouldnt go near #Louisehaigh with a bargepole. Public remember she was sacked for a false police report. No more corruption please. Dont start with nepotism- the scandals around her will occupy months of your time and be a distraction- as happened to Kier

[Martina J @Martinaj70]

@Bubblejet @Helen_Whately Yes and no. UC has an extra element for LCWRA if you cant work. There is no dedicated sickbess benefit with exception of ESA if you have worked in previous 2 yrs. And yes- impact assessment is the problem! I see people living alone self stating they cant wash, dress & feed. Mad!

[Martina J @Martinaj70]

@AndyBurnhamGM you NEED to tackle benefits FAST. at DWP many of the claimants take home more tax free than we earn! The number of scams is out control. And PIP- most should not be on it - they are fully able and mobile but big pull factor to claim up to 800 extra tax free !

@Bubblejet @Helen_Whately Sorry? We're saying same thing. AA is sckness benefit after retirement. Its structured differently though. What I meant about self declared is.-you can go to GP say you have anxiety + there it is-a medical record. Its easier than you think and you self declare how it affects you

[Martina J @Martinaj70]

@Bubblejet @Helen_Whately It becomes Attendance Allowance after state retirement so pensioners cant make a new claim but they can stay on it if claimed before. Many claimants with levels anxiety that others consider normal (and are working) DO claim. Its the lowest hanging fruit and mostly self declared.

@BarronTNews_ So they should. He bunged a mate who hadnt got a clue about stagnant pools to spray it - no science no tender. He should be made to pay back the cost to the people.

@TrumpDailyPosts Ah- hes surrendered to Iran so now has to change topic to Epstein lies!

[Martina J @Martinaj70]

@patmcfaddenmp another scam i see is families where they all claim PIP+ all claim carers allowance for each other. Thousands in untaxed income. Gov never checks no. of applications at one address. How can someone who cant look after themselves provide 35 hrs care for someone else

[Martina J @Martinaj70]

@UnmaskTheSys Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. If only youd graduated high school science!

[Martina J @Martinaj70]

@MarkHallam4758 @Helen_Whately Actually not true. There is very little checking after original claim and DWP only really pursue mass organised fraud. I have seen thousands frigging benefits one way or another. Its shocking. There needs to be complete overhaul and every claim needs re checking.

[Martina J @Martinaj70]

@Helen_Whately But- encouragement into work is useless as most claimants I see do not want to work EVER. They get more tax free on benefits than my 2 graduate offspring. THATS whats wrong! Gov have NO.idea of the amount benefits you csn build upnor the amount of fraud. Come to a DWP office!

[Martina J @Martinaj70]

@AndyBurnhamGM your idea to help people into work tp reduce benefits bill is a non starter. I work with claimants and most have nil interest in working. They get enough benefits to pay for housing and spends and we cannot get them to look at jobs! Work needs imposing on them.

[Martina J @Martinaj70]

@_worldstamps4u @JayDarkmoore Rubbish..social media sites have refused tp.police themselves orimpose safety protocols - in fact X removed all.moderation so clearly they cant police themselves.. has to be done by law

[Martina J @Martinaj70]

@a_big_chad @JayDarkmoore No its not! Thete are no restricyions on adults and even if there were people shoukd be identifiable so thry cant make threats or libel people. It wd also stop the millions of Russian bots active on x!!!

@lane_d12 @PolitlcsUK @thetimes In theory it is- in practice parents are unable to prevent their kids- esp teenagers from using it. Im presuminh you dont have kids and if you do' they dont have phones???

[Martina J @Martinaj70]

@RobRollin2 @PolitlcsUK @thetimes Thats the sort of comment and language children need protecting from. You just shot down your own argument.
