Lady in glasses, "570 MPs are entitled to claim £3,500 heating allowance.. If those 570 MPs didn't, over 6,700 pensioners would get a winter fuel benefit"

"How do you justify withdrawing the money from pensioners? #BBCQT

She has a point. If energy bill support is means tested then clearly MPs with their salaries are far above the threshold and perhaps shouldn't be granted the allowance

As Lee Anderson makes his big speech at the Reform Conference, it would be a shame if everyone was reminded of the time he lied to a journalist and got his mate to pretend he didn't know him.
So please don't share.

Omg Trump takes the bait and starts rambling about crowd sizes and repeats baseless claims about immigrants eating pets and gets fact checked

Kamala Harris immediately capitalizes on it

BREAKING: Chris Wallace just completely demolished Donald Trump’s debate performance. Wallace went so far as to call Donald Trump’s debate performance tonight the worst debate performance in American history. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this

I thank @doctor_oxford for shining a spotlight on this very serious issue facing the UK public.

Nothing to see here, nothing to see...

The Tory Party Treasurer, who's donated £5.5million to the Tories since 2011, is director of Castle Water owned via an offshore trust in the British Virgin Islands, has just been handed a £1.2m contract by? HMRC 🤬

The Spectator has just ran the figures for the Tories' published tax plans.

On Sunak's maths, it works out as £3,000 tax rise per household.

BREAKING BOMBSHELL:

Donald Trump is accused of committing ADDITIONAL Class D felonies in New York with stiff penalties.

I’ll break it down as an attorney;

In case you thought that the case of convicted felon Donald Trump couldn't get any worse, ProPublica is out with a bombshell story today.

Nine witnesses in the criminal cases against former President Donald Trump have received significant financial benefits from his organization, including large raises from his campaign, severance packages, new jobs, and a grant of shares and cash from Trump’s media company.

These pay increases and other benefits often came at delicate moments in the legal proceedings against Trump. One aide who was given a plum position on the board of Trump’s social media company, for example, got the seat after he was subpoenaed but before he testified.

If prosecutors can prove that the purpose of the benefits was intended to influence any testimony, this is a serious crime.

In New York, paying a witness can be considered a crime under several statutes:

•Bribing a Witness (Class D Felony):

•Bribe Receiving by a Witness (Class D Felony):

•Tampering with a Witness (Class A Misdemeanor to Class B Felony):

Let’s share this everywhere so D.A Alvin Bragg launches an investigation!

🔹he almost TRIPLED her salary from c£15,000 over 6 yrs, while he criticised use of foodbanks !
🔹her language online has been appalling
🔹she deleted her X account in Dec 2023
🔹luckily I'd kept some "receipts" (some attached, more available)

Keir Starmer has made it clear we are all, in his opinion, dependent on those who want to get rich at cost to the rest of us. in other words, he’s going all out for utterly discredited trickle down economics that is guaranteed to deliver increasing inequality.
