Resident of York. Love the city but despair of the council decisions and management.

@CityofYork no notification of a complete wipeout of parking spaces on Cromwell Road. Where are regular visitors, nurses , helpers supposed to park? No consideration of residents!

Joe’s parents should have a knock on the door from social workers and in my view, they should be investigated…

Poor boy 💔

Dear Natalie, I may have missed it, but as the Minister for the Safety of Women and Girls, I would have thought that the Rape and Murder of a 2 year old baby girl may have prompted a shred of outrage? If I were you, I would be screaming my head off in the lobby of the Houses of Parliament! But then.. I am not a Labour MP!

It’s odd isn’t it that politicians never stop harping on about how unsustainable the Triple Lock pension is but they never ever harp on about allowing illegals into our country that’s costing £billions.

They’ve wasted £billions on benefits but never harp on about cutting it.

They’ve wasted £billions on HS2 but don’t mention what a waste of money that is.

They spent £billions on track & trace but never mention what a waste of money that was.

The only thing they harp on about is cutting Triple Lock because they begrudge Pensioners but not illegals that have paid NOTHING into this country but they want to give them EVERYTHING.

Just nonsense..

there are pupils who’ve had no school place for more than a year !

Teachers and staff made redundant..

all the local businesses and supply chains

have lost business because of your spiteful policies…

These parents already pay into the education budget ..

and just because you ..

@bphillipsonMP continue to fight your spiteful

70’s class war ..

their lives have been shattered..

No wonder you’re not even supported by teachers in the State system..

An appointment which should never have happened..

I hope you’re moved asap !

We are in a very dark place. The football World Cup is on & this council has spent tax payers money going to court to make it illegal to fly Our flag on Our streets.

These journalists need to pack up feeling sorry for Starmer!

A grown man crying for himself because his ambition to be the one to lead us toward a communist style future has failed.

He crushed so many lives , jailed people for free speech easily using Tory legislation.

He's crippling households and Industry by listening to Lord Dipstick Ed Milliband and crushing net zero

He spent more time overseas than in number 10

A selfish man who cried for himself .
Man up !

You might find it difficult to do two things at once, Paul, but I find it remarkably easy to enjoy the millions I've made while continuing to care about women's rights.

Imagine living in a country where you go straight to jail for a tweet, but get bail after being arrested for ‘allegedly’ throwing a 3 year old baby into a crocodile enclosure! The world is watching is disbelief!

Al Carn’s brutal resignation speech mentioned the betrayal of veterans:

“I could no longer ignore the continued failure to address the treatment of our veterans in NI…a country owes a duty to those it sent into harm’s way under lawful orders, and that duty does not end when the uniform comes off.”

[Steven Barrett @SBarrettBar]

I was attacked, mocked, insulted and my character dragged through the mud for daring to suggest that the Government tried to control the narrative

Now we know there's an entire bloody department for it!

Our Government lie.

Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.

The full UK State Pension is now worth around £12,548 a year. That's less than half the earnings of someone working full-time on the National Minimum Wage, despite many pensioners paying taxes and National Insurance for 40, 50 or even 60 years.

Yet every time the Treasury needs money, the same voices appear demanding the Triple Lock be scrapped.

Why?

State pension spending is forecast at around £154 billion this year, but that supports over 13 million pensioners, many of whom rely on it as their primary income. Meanwhile, billions continue to disappear into failed projects, government waste, bureaucracy, consultants, quangos and policies that deliver little value to ordinary taxpayers.

The Triple Lock isn't some gold-plated luxury. It exists because politicians allowed the State Pension to fall behind for decades. Even today, a full State Pension is barely above the poverty line and is nowhere near a typical working wage.

If politicians want to save money, start with waste, inefficiency and failed spending programmes.

Leave pensioners alone.

They worked, they paid in, they built this country and they deserve dignity in retirement, not another raid on their income.
