This government can’t have it both ways.

If a State Pension is being classed as a benefit then it should not be used as part of your tax allowance as benefits are non taxable.

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

If you think 18,000 supermarket job losses is bad, you aren’t paying attention

Since Labour came to power in 2024
▪️400,000 payroll jobs have gone
▪️155,000 fewer jobs vacant
▪️163,000 jobs to be lost in 2026
▪️1.7 MILLION now unemployed
▪️8.3 MILLION on UC

And rising 🔥

This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby @denbypottery

[Leo Kearse - see me on tour! Links in bio @LeoKearse]

I’m pretty sure that when Henry Nowak’s father said he did not want his son’s death to create more division, he did not mean: “I want left-wing politicians and commentators to weaponise my grief to shut down debate.”

Yet that is exactly what is happening. It’s disgusting to see his words misappropriated as a political battering ram, used to attack anyone who asks difficult questions about the way Henry was treated, and about the anti-white ideology explicitly codified in the public sector.

Mr Nowak also said that the police treatment of his dying son was “inhumane and degrading”.

We should make sure no other British child is treated the way Henry was.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Keir Starmer has shown more anger at people being furious over Henry Nowak’s treatment than the fact that Henry bled to death handcuffed like a criminal.

This is why he is so despised.

[Ben Graham @BenGrahamUK]

Labour loves the word "free".

Free breakfasts. Free this. Free that.
None of it is free.

Every "free" breakfast, grant and giveaway is paid for by someone else:
The taxpayer.

Politicians don't fund these schemes. Working people do.

[Stuey Beef 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @stuey_beef]

Rachel Reeves has found a new way to tax work: call it “pension reform”, then quietly slap National Insurance on the very mechanism millions use to save for retirement.

HMRC now admits that once her £2,000 cap on salary sacrifice kicks in from 2029, around 2.9–3.3 million workers will respond by cutting back pension saving, including roughly 666,000 basic‑rate taxpayers earning under £50k.

The Treasury still spins this as a clampdown on “high earners piling cash into pensions without paying a penny in tax” – but their own FOI figures show the majority of those scaling back are higher‑rate taxpayers while hundreds of thousands on ordinary salaries lose the NI advantage too.

Meanwhile, most of the £4.8–£5bn haul is expected to come from employers, who’ll now pay full NI on sacrificed pay above the cap – a straight tax on jobs and pay packets dressed up as fairness. If this is what Labour calls “rewarding work”, what does punishing it look like?

[Darren Grimes @darrengrimes]

I don’t want to live in a country where a boy can die by drowning in his own blood because the police cared more about arresting an alleged racist.

I don’t want to live in a country where a female police officer can have seven shades of sh*t kicked out of her without punishment.

Here are two other UK power records:
1. Highest industrial energy costs in the world.
2. Second highest domestic energy costs in the world.
As E Miliband says, we’re setting an example for the rest of the world. Indeed we are. Which is why nobody is following us.

[Hannah @ehannah0]

Dear @Keir_Starmer

People can’t afford another £200 energy bill increase.

If you really wanted to make a change, you’d sack this lunatic before he bankrupts the country.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

When they announce a summer hosepipe ban on us plebs and blame it on climate change, spare a thought for all the huge AI data centres that will continue to guzzle 5 million gallons of water per day - the equivalent of the daily water consumption of a town with 50,000 residents.

[Orla Minihane @orlaminihane]

Another girl, another life lost. Stephanie Irons, 23 - a clever, beautiful soul, loved by family and friends who described her as a “Bright Young Star”. Yesterday Adedapo Adegbola, 40 who came to the UK in 2022 admitted murdering her by stabbing her to death. Where’s the coverage? Where’s the outrage from the BBC and the Liberal Left? Or doesn’t she matter? RIP beautiful girl. STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN! @ShabanaMahmood @jessphillips

[A View From Yorkshire @models_by_Russ]

Britain is not “tightening its belt.”
Britain has sold the belt, borrowed another one on Klarna, and is now being lectured about financial responsibility by people billing duck houses to the taxpayer.
The weekly shop now requires a small bank loan.
You walk into Tesco for bread and milk and leave having accidentally financed a Mediterranean yacht.
Heating goes on like a military operation.
“One hour only, Margaret. We’re not made of money.”
Petrol prices rise every time somebody sneezes near a shipping lane most of us couldn’t point to on a globe if David Attenborough himself was helping.
The NHS waiting list is so long your appendix now has a better chance of seeing a doctor than you do.
Young people cannot afford houses.
Parents cannot afford food.
Pensioners cannot afford to die because funerals are apparently platinum-tier experiences now.
Meanwhile the Government — regardless of colour rosette — stares proudly into the middle distance and announces another “bold package of measures” that somehow never includes fixing anything you actually use.
You notice:
£8 million a day on asylum hotels.
£15 billion on foreign aid.
£24 billion borrowed in a single month.
And if you politely ask whether this is sustainable, the national conversation immediately transforms into:
“Ah. So you’re literally Hitler then.”
Ask once: bigot.
Ask twice: racist.
Ask three times: far-right extremist and possible threat to democracy itself.
At this point you half expect Ofcom to cut into Coronation Street with:
“We apologise for Russ from Doncaster asking where his taxes went.”
The reality is millions of ordinary British people are not angry because they are hateful.
They are angry because for thirty years they have been told:
Wait your turn.
Pay more.
Expect less.
Shut up.
And if possible, feel guilty while doing it.
Under Labour.
Under Conservatives.
Under coalitions.
Under whichever assortment of beige management consultants happened to win the election that year.
The British public are essentially the bloke at the pub who keeps buying rounds while being told he’s selfish for wondering why his own pint never arrives.
This is not racism.
It is national exhaustion.
And frankly, after this long, you would struggle to find a country on Earth that would not feel exactly the same.

[The Secret Landlord @landlord_secret]

So, Andy Burnham bought an ex-COUNCIL flat in 2005 (Kennington) & then partly paid the mortgage interest via MP's expenses. Continues to rent it out for profit while criticizing landlords. What have I missed about the continuing hypocrisy & one rule for them, one rule for others?
