The UK now taxes the education of 550,000 children and we should all be ashamed of that. Note - I have 2 children in state school

More information emerging about the conviction of Del Somerville (jailed for two years for throwing a plastic bottle and telling police officers to 'F**k off' at a protest against the small boats).

The court heard that Somerville had played a relatively minor role at the incident, had tried to pull another protester away when he confronted police, actually lived at the marina rather than travelled there for the purpose of protesting, and that the plastic bottle he threw was 'small' or 'empty'.

It's impossible, in the context of wider sentencing policy in this country, to avoid the conclusion that the sanction handed down to Somerville amounts to two-tier justice.

@bphillipsonMP This is a serious post? We borrowed £18 BILLION last month despite high taxes and the response is “misogyny”?!?

Great example of the ultimate effect in giving free (taxpayer) money to people with zero conditions

Benefits should bring a requirement for regular blood tests to ensure drug and alcohol free. Each failure returns less and less in benefits

Controversial UK health and social welfare thought:

If you receive taxpayer funded benefits, you should have to submit to a 2 weekly blood test checking for alcohol and drugs (including nicotine). If you have either in your system then benefits are reduced, eventually to nothing

Think of the money and resources we’d save if we had a 3 strike = 25 years mandatory custodial sentence policy

Not to mention the positive effects of society as a whole

@JuliaHB1 How divided the right are compared to the left. It’ll end badly

@AdamJ10812 @WasOnceLoved Private school parents pay for the private sector (their own kids and bursary/scholarship kids) and the state sector plus VAT.

State school parents take from the state sector. Bridget Phillipson doesn’t even cover the cost of her own kids.

Perhaps she should pay her fair share.

Every interview or panel like QT centres on a concept of “what do you think of X” and no one on any platform is willing to say “I don’t care” or “taxpayer money shouldn’t be spent on that”

[My View @NextGenMP]

Seeing controversy after controversy, confrontation after confrontation - Government needs to get itself, and taxpayer money, OUT of as much as possible and let society evolve

[My View @NextGenMP]

Wait until people work out that prescribing anti-depressants to young men is a huge factor in a declining birth rate!

SSRI’s kill the sex drive and physically stop a “finish”.

An increasing mental health prescription culture is actually killing the future

Anyone would think they deliberately hijacked the news cycle to take attention from a huge expression from the British people 😬

[My View @NextGenMP]

Timing!

@wesstreeting and @AndyBurnhamGM are both well known “rejoiners”

Yet, yesterday during a huge march for Unite the Kingdom, with the British people so unhappy with the state of things, they decide to announce their rejoin intentions officially

@LibDems @EdwardJDavey Removal of EU era red tape and over regulation?

Or, as you seem to allude, more red tape and regulation??

@adamboxer1 Far right = "holds national flag"

Sensible centre = "holds any other flag"

Is that it?

✅ Increase MP salaries in exchange for no additional paid work and the liquidation of all investments
✅ Require prospective MP’s to have lived full time in the area for 3 years

[My View @NextGenMP]

This country needs a bad guy. Someone who will deliver a reset!

✅ No benefits whatsoever for non-British
✅ Time limited benefits with tapering off to £0 after a fixed period of time
✅ Devolve business rates to district councils to encourage competition

@Iromg @Lee7dfzz “Nationalising” the Manchester buses transfers the cost from users of the service to taxpayers. With Labour adopting that approach while simultaneously killing the economy and driving the highest net tax payers out of the UK, we’re in for a world of pain!

..Andy Burnham IS a career politician

@ArchRose90 Labour will be relying on a division of the vote between Reform and Restore
