Young people spent years of their lives locked in their homes so these people didn’t risk dying trying to catch their last breath

In return they demand young people needlessly die of heat exhaustion

[North East Heritage Library @neheritagelib]

This country has a severe lack of patience and a severe abundance of entitlement.

I’m not saying this guy was perfect, but claiming he did a bad job because change wasn’t instant is so short sighted.

We shouldn’t be able to change PMs every 2 years - whichever side.

[Dr Charlie Fraud @Drcharliefraud]

Starmer is a good PM.
He just pissed off the right people (Press barons, billionaires and fascists) who have the power and tools to make the politically illiterate believe he isn’t doing a good job.
The Daily Fail, X and GB “News” are examples of the propaganda.

[Sam @SamCKx]

The replies to this post have put absolutely beyond doubt that the hatred for Keir Starmer is 99% based on misinformation. Just read through them, people spouting the same misinformation they have been repeatedly fed over the last year or so, disproven countless times, but still believed and amplified by so many. This is how easy it is to brainwash millions of people if you have the resources. This is how societies are destroyed.

The U.K. marks the 81st Anniversary of VE Day by waking up to discover many of their neighbours voted for concentration camps. Never Again eh?

Instead of banning youth under 16 from social media. The govt should ban seniors over 60 from accessing The Daily Mail, Sun and Telegraph.

[Tim Jones @Timothy37619215]

To any dimwit voting reform tomorrow thinking a win will remove Starmer well it won’t . He’ll still be pm and you’ll have a shit council just like all the existing reform one’s . Idiots .

Latest data on small boat arrivals from Home Office as of 1 May, 2026

1 January 2026 to 30 April 2026 = 6,416 people

That’s 42% down on same period in 2025

Controversial apparently but I really don't.

Is he a boring and awkward man? Yes.
Is he a bit of a weak leader? Possibly.

But I'd take Starmer over any of his Tory predecessors any day of the week.

Nigel Farage earns over a million pounds a year.

Still claims £160,900 in expenses (benefits)

Moans about people abusing benefits.

But not himself, of course.

[Oliver Bradshaw @OliverJBradshaw]

This weekend, boomers have been calling my generation entitled, ungrateful, and straight up lazy for questioning the state pension triple lock. Apart from a barrage of playground insults, the same old arguments kept coming: “We paid in our time,” “It’s your turn now,” “Just move somewhere cheaper,” “16% of you lot are out of work,” and “Stop buying coffee and going out.”

Here’s the nasty truth they conveniently ignore.

You talk about a fair “pay-it-forward” deal. But back when you worked, there were roughly five workers per pensioner. Today it’s 3.6. By the time we retire, it’ll be closer to 2.5. You had far more people sharing the load. That contract got stretched thin on our backs.

You say you worked harder, faced 15% mortgages, had no luxuries, and Uni was basically free. Interest rates were brutal, sure. But you bought houses for 3-4 times your wages. Ours cost 8-10 times or more. Over-60s now hold 55% of the country’s entire housing wealth, nearly £3.84 trillion, mostly mortgage-free. Many of you enjoyed full mortgage interest tax relief (MIRAS) until 2000. We pay sky-high rents with zero tax relief while real wages have barely grown against inflation for 15 years.

My generation was sold a lie, study hard, get the degree, land the good job, buy the house, pay your National Insurance, and the system will look after you. I know friends and colleagues who followed that script to the letter, straight-A students, graduate schemes, full time work from day one. Now in their late twenties, they’re still renting, saddled with £50k+ in loans, watching every spare pound vanish into rent and bills, while being called “entitled” for noticing the numbers don’t add up.

“Just buy a house somewhere cheaper!” Sure, in towns where property is dirt cheap and jobs are non existent. Good careers don’t magically appear out of thin air. That advice is pure fantasy.

“Just cut back on coffee and nights out”? As if skipping a £4 latte can magically fund a house deposit when homes cost 8-10 times our wages. Our money has far less purchasing power than yours ever did. We spend nearly 30% of our income on housing (up from 20% twenty years ago), and under-30s households devote 70% of their budget to essentials versus just 56% for over-65s. We’re not splashing on luxuries, we don’t want to live like hermits just to scrape by, and nor should we have to.

You throw out the 16% youth unemployment rate for 16-24 year olds and call us bone idle. That’s not laziness, it’s a brutal job market. Job vacancies have tanked. We’re stuck in retail and hospitality roles that get cut first when times are tough, five times more likely to be on zero-hours contracts. Nearly a million of us (12.8%) are NEET simply because the jobs don't exist. Many of us are already paying National Insurance from the first insecure job we have, yet we’re still expected to bankroll your guaranteed above inflation rises. Work in Britain no long pays.

The state pension already costs £138 billion a year, the second biggest single expense after the NHS. The triple lock alone will add £15.5 billion extra every year by 2030, three times the original forecast. Pension spending is heading from ~5% of GDP toward 7.7% in the coming decades, with more than half the extra burden coming directly from the triple lock itself. Waste exists elsewhere and public-sector pensions are far too generous, but this locked in, exploding cost is the elephant in the room, and they all need reviewing.

I’m not pitting generations against each other or begrudging anyone a dignified retirement. But the system you defend hands one generation guaranteed rises no matter what the economy does, while the shrinking number of us paying the bill gets saddled with a heavier and heavier bag.

I’m not against pensioners. I’m against a policy that’s mathematically doomed and dumps the heaviest load on fewer and fewer contributors. The truly entitled position is demanding a blank cheque forever while slapping down facts as “division” or “whining” or pretending our small treats are the problem.

So go ahead, tell me exactly where I’m wrong. But this time skip the playground insults calling me and my generation entitled and lazy. I’m done being polite about a system that screws my generation while you demand a blank cheque.

[Evolve Politics @evolvepolitics]

Fuel prices are skyrocketing, energy prices are going through the roof, & food prices are about to surge, all because of Trump’s war on Iran.

So when you’re thinking about who to vote for, just remember:

Reform are fully behind the war. They don’t care about the cost of living.

It’s sad that he got his big break with Heated Rivalry as one of the faces of diversity just to turn around and make a disability with a high suicide rate the punchline of an SNL monologue

[Alan M @Heavy_Boab]

It was a visceral reminder that ignorance is still louder than education. After a full week of wall to wall coverage explaining Tourette’s, people are still wilfully choosing not to understand an involuntary neurological condition. That is not confusion. That is refusal. Disabled people should not have to justify their existence because others would rather stay ignorant than learn.
