If Keir Starmer had said before the election that he would remove the winter fuel allowance from millions of pensioners, hammer the disabled with welfare cuts, add inheritance tax to family farms and family businesses causing thousands of them to close, his deputy prime minister dodging £40,000 in tax, council tax & energy price increases, raise university tuition fees, plaster mass-scale solar panels on thousands of acres of prime farmland despite huge local community objections, hand over sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius at a cost of £35bn, spaff £30bn of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines, give £3bn a year of taxpayers’ money to Ukraine, betray WASPI women, hang out with BlackRock, 50,000 small boat crossings in one year, create a new £50bn economic black hole, increase the overall tax burden to record levels, destroy business growth with national insurance rises resulting in over 200,000 job losses, get exposed for receiving over £100,000 worth of freebies - he almost certainly wouldn’t have won. He duped the electorate. An utterly shameless display of snake oil political salesmanship. And still he lectures all of us in that gratingly sanctimonious manner of his like we are all somehow the problem here.

You cannot have a British government saying illegal foreign immigrants are the first legal priority over tax paying British people - this is an insane position to hold & expect the support of your people. As a government you are now officially working against the electorate

Why aren’t we detaining the dinghy boys in these?? Why are tax payers paying for nice hotels and houses…. Why are they free to walk around as they please?!!

@BBCRadioManc sorry Joe but your AI bot got it wrong, the Aimi Stewart version of Knock on Wood was 1979. The 1966 original was by Eddie Floyd

@WorcsBoschCare Hi. My easy care app has stopped working this morning. Gone really slow to load and only gives this on the program, is there an issue with the app?

[Mark Bowden @markbowdn]

@BBCRadioManc hi Anna, fav advert - how about the Cadbury flake one from the 80s with the girl in the field?

Sad but been coming for a while. How many subbies going to have problems now as a result. Had quite a big Manchester operation I think @MENnewsdesk

@BBCRadioManc Hi Anna, we've not had our bins emptied since September. They end one strike and start the next one the next day. Only going back on 24th (a Sunday) so they get 3 days paid leave over Xmas! We don't even know what they're striking for as pay deal already done!

[Mark Bowden @markbowdn]

@BBCRadioManc talking of problematic ad's Anna, how about the Cadburys Flake ad from the 80s with the girl in the field ....

[Mark Bowden @markbowdn]

@BBCRadioManc morning Anna, most bizarre tribute band I've seen was in the early 90s, they were called Dread Zeppelin and did Led Zeppelin songs in a reggae style sung by an Elvis impersonator. Weird but it worked!

[Mark Bowden @markbowdn]

@BBCRadioManc Hi Anna, I've got a caravan on Anglesey which is where the Irish ferry goes from. Is that a tentative enough connection? Happy St Patrick's Day

[Mark Bowden @markbowdn]

@BBCRadioManc How about Stan and Hilda off Corrie as GOAT couple Anna

[Mark Bowden @markbowdn]

@BBCRadioManc Morning Anna, Ed Balls was no longer a serving MP when he did @bbcstrictly . He'd already been booted out of politics at the previous General election

[Mark Bowden @markbowdn]

Bit rich Labour demanding a GE saying Sunak has no mandate, 2 of their last 3 Prime Ministers had no mandate either #hypocrisy

[Mark Bowden @markbowdn]

Hadn't realised that in the last 58 years only 2 Labour leaders have actually won a General Election. Not a good win rate really...

[Mark Bowden @markbowdn]

@aharrington61 We don't for party leaders in this country Andy. The name of Boris didn't appear on my voting slip at the last GE

[Mark Bowden @markbowdn]

How hard is Boris laughing now? Wonder if he will throw his name into the mix?
