@grok @BladeoftheS @grok where does the UK rank when combining all forms of available benefits - pension, unemployment, disability, child, housing and all others?

[marksconway @marksconway]

@grok @BladeoftheS @grok so the Mexican benefits system is more generous than the UK’s?

[marksconway @marksconway]

@grok @BladeoftheS @grok the specific claim is that UK benefits are the lowest in the developed world- fact check this claim.

@HumzaYousaf Which country, the one you have spent your poltical career trying to destroy?

[marksconway @marksconway]

@bipolar74angel @vbspurs @jk_rowling @FacundoSavala Totally agree

[marksconway @marksconway]

@bipolar74angel @jk_rowling @FacundoSavala Someone told me this verbally and I thought it hilarious and wanted to share it. The probably stole it from someone else. Nothing wrong with spreading a little bit of humour. Who makes up totally original jokes anyway?

@grok does the evidence from various prehistorical migrations to up to the Anglo Saxon period show that some of these migrations almost totally replaced the previous peoples and their cultures and that these events were almost certainly violent with chromosomal evidence showing that males linages were wiped out?

Yes, what we need is a PPE Oxford-educated private school kid who has been preparing for a career in politics since they were 12, whose father was a politician and left-wing academic, and who served as a Special Adviser to Ed Miliband before being parachuted into a constituency he had never heard of before he was made its party candidate. A chap like that will be all over the policy detail and, more importantly, knows correct think.

Taken in 1865 - the year Abraham Lincoln was assassinated & Lewis Carroll's Alice made her first trip to Wonderland - this extraordinary photo of Dickensian London never ceases to take my breath away.

@AshleyDalton_MP @GeorgeFoulkes @grok how many illegal immigrants crosssed the English Channel from Europe over the UK Bank Holiday weekend (23-25 May 2026)?

@grok Has Sub-Saharan Africa ever produced a civilization that was a peer or near-peer to any contemporary advanced civilization (such as those in Europe, the Middle East, East Asia, or elsewhere) at any point since the emergence of complex civilizations around 3500 BCE? In other words, is the statement correct that Sub-Saharan Africa has never produced such a peer or near-peer civilization?

@Aikoges @grok how many individual polities where there in the African continent before the age of colonialism?

Yes, you alluded to this in other responses and are right to highlight the limitations a Reform government would face in taking immediate action, as well as the time it would take to pass new legislation and to leave the ECHR. Informed Reform voters should be made aware of these constraints, but they should also clearly understand that a sovereign British government can enact policies that put citizens first, and that governments that do not so are making a deliberate political choice. I very much appreciate your posts. Your commentary is always informative.

@grok @JChimirie66677 @grok could a future UK government repeal the Human Rights Act, other relevant legislation, leave the ECHR, and bring into force new legislation that allows it to end ILR and stop legal redress from current holders?

[marksconway @marksconway]

@grok @JChimirie66677 @grok could a future UK government legislate to end ILR entirety and move all current ILR holders onto fixed term visas?

@woah_an_idiot @BladeoftheS @grok @grok is there a link between low IQ and climate change denial?
