A Guardian headline proclaims 'everyone knows we should break the pensions triple lock'. Given that it's the worst state pension in Europe, there's actually a case for doubling it.
@fynnvestor I do the same including travel I do a 13 n’ 1/2 hour day and I resent the fact I’m paying for the arsehole who’s never worked and is pissed up everyday and plays loud heavy metal death music day and night and the council do fuck all about it. Yeah I resent it.
Left the house at 6.30am, just got home at 6.57pm
Love working 12+ hour days away from my kids to pay tax for lazy people sat on their sofa claiming benefits
The prime minister of Mauritius has said that Andy Burnham will do 'everything possible' to hand over the Chagos Islands following a phone call with Burnham.
Let's call it what it is - traitorous.
Who helped shape Labour’s new Islamophobia definition?
Ministers refused to answer. Then they said the records had been deleted, despite rules requiring them to be retained.
Angela Rayner must come clean: who helped write it, and what are they hiding?
We’re at a bigger threat to our security than we have been for decades, we are seriously skink & in more debt than ever. Money is tight. Defence underfunded Yet this government wants to pay Mauritius billions to take our land & risk our military safety. Please make it make sense
In opposition, Angela Rayner gave the impression that transparency was very important to her.
Now it turns out that her dept destroyed evidence submitted to devise a new "Islamophobia" definition.
Did she consult with the Muslim Brotherhood?
@AngelaRayner what are you hiding!?
Another big development in Norfolk, and another big step in the right direction.
Restore Britain/GYF have just had a motion passed at full council on scrapping foreign language translation/interpretation across Norfolk County Council.
You live in Norfolk, you speak English. End of story.
Council communication should be provided in English.
Not Arabic, or Kurdish, or Romanian, or whatever else.
English.
That’s exactly what our Restore Britain/GYF councillors have just delivered.
Our motion means the council has resolved to…
- Adopt a policy that Norfolk County Council communications, publications, consultations, correspondence, advertising, and public information materials will be produced in English.
- Retain and improve British Sign Language services.
- Ask Cabinet to instruct the Chief Executive to undertake a review of all current expenditure on translation, interpretation, and foreign language publication services across Norfolk County Council.
- Require that the review identify…
The total annual cost of such services;
The departments in which such costs are incurred;
The savings that will arise from adopting this policy.
- Require the findings of the review, together with recommendations for implementation, to be reported to Council.
This is a big win for the people of Norfolk, and Restore Britain councillors all over the country will now be looking to replicate this in their own councils.
Restore Britain doing what we were elected to do.
Put the British people first.
I completely agree with @GiorgiaMeloni.
Under a Reform UK Government, all face coverings will be banned. No ifs, no buts. This is Britain, we show our faces.
@rec777777 I’m packing up work and go n’ live in style and without worry thanks to labour. Hello the dole ! Where do I sign ? Having never been on benefits I’ll have a steep learning curve I bet. Unless there is someone to help me claim for everything ! Oh of course there is stupid me
You don’t get a pay rise from your employer when you have another child, but Labour has done just that for people on benefits.
Scrapping the 2-child cap was unfair and unaffordable. @Conservatives will bring it back.
No wonder Labour don’t want to cut the benefits bill.
***More than half of Labour MPs have a greater number of disability benefit claimants in their constituency than the size of their electoral majority, highlighting the political peril facing ministers trying to cut Britain’s spiralling welfare bill.
*** More than 100 Labour MPs also have more claimants for mental health conditions such as anxiety, ADHD and autism than their majorities.
*** Pat McFadden, the work and pensions secretary in charge of delivering the reforms, has a majority of 9,188 votes but 11,646 Pip claimants - a difference of 2,458.
*** Wes Streeting is the most exposed, with 6,284 Pip claimants in Ilford North compared with his majority of 528.
