The assumption that 'Welfare' has to pay for defence form every panel member and interviewee on @bbclaurak isn't even subtle.
It's an onslaught against the poorest households in the country.
You can't squeeze any more out of people you've already bled dry.

@DBDouble@markhoro@awaisaftab These are physical symptoms. As physical as my MS symptoms. A cause and effect.
They are added and they are brain sneezes like a chip implant is misfiring. We can't know what we don't know until lived experience is listened to and not dismissed.
Sorry if ive missed the point x
Carns is asked where the extra £ for defence should come from.
".. I think there are places, such as moving welfare from hand outs to hand ups"
Describing welfare as hand outs tells us all about Carns politics & who he wants to target - the sick, disabled, low paid, pensioners
One of the most horrifying and brutal scenes ever captured on camera in modern history.
A moment of bombing of a house in Gaza, near a child who runs away in fear from the missiles and tries to survive.
A moment the world must never forget.
Israel murdered his son because he wouldn't abandon his hospital.
He received his son's body and went back to work the same day, to care for his patients.
So after 15 years of benefits claimants being squeezed, scapegoated, tormented and vilified, while the rich have trebled their wealth, Andy Burnham wants to … squeeze benefits claimants
Nandy: "We've got to significantly increase the amount we're spending on defence"
Over the last several days I haven't seen a single interviewer question this claim. Instead the challenge to politicians making it is, are you increasing it fast enough/by enough?
About Last Night: 💥😳💥
2 unknown owls appeared in the night and started attacking & killing all 4 owlets that were in this box.
When they were killing the final one, the mum of the owlets turned up and there was an intense 85 minute fight.

'Moving welfare from hand outs to hand ups' is the kind of cheap rhetoric that could have come from the lips of any Tory.
Quite apart from being economically illiterate (government spends money into existence), it's the vapid, second-hand blather of the golf club bore.
There is major deception going on from politicians of every hue except Green at the moment.
ALL say welfare must be cut by taking sick and disabled people off benefits and into work.
NONE admit there are already more than twice as many people looking for work than there are jobs
🚨 WTF?! Al Jazeera confirms the Zionist military deliberately bombed Palestinians simply digging a well for water in Jabalia. A father is left weeping over his murdered 8-year-old son.
Israel is actively expanding its illegal occupation despite the ceasefire!
For the second day a single tufted duck duckling with no sign of an adult tufted duck nearby being looked after & fed by a pair of Eurasian Coots. I've never read or heard of coots 'adopting' another sp chick - but this pair are doing a better job than the normal female tufties!
@msabirder I really do t know if the coots even had their own brood- there are plenty of other coots either young of various ages on the lakes at Clennon, Paignton.
Yes. In his Feb 2025 Channel 12 interview, Gallant confirmed the Hannibal Directive was issued tactically “in various places” near Gaza on Oct 7. He said it was given in some areas but not others—“and that is a problem.” He did not dispute it meant shooting to kill vehicles with Israeli hostages.
