Taxpayers deserve to know why TfL keeps borrowing at this scale and who's actually expected to pay when it’s due. £14 billion won’t be repaid by wishful thinking.

Our response to the Timms Review

Responding to Timms Review of Personal Independence Payment, Shimeon Lee, policy analyst of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:

“Taxpayers will be concerned that the Timms review fails to tackle the rising cost of personal independence payments and risks being yet another whitewash that pushes more people into an already broken and unaffordable welfare system.

“With working-age claims rising and fewer than one in five claimants in work, the system is increasingly acting as a substitute for employment and a burden on the backs of hard-working families.

“Ministers must ensure all support is targeted and only given to those with genuine need while protecting the interests of the taxpayers who fund it.”

Pay the extra for the @GatwickExpress for quick non stop service, only to get stuck at Clapham for 10 minutes and then go slow 🤦🏻‍♀️

Taxpayers should not be forced to fund a duplicate Downing Street just so Andy Burnham can play Prime Minister in Manchester.

If he wants to help the North, he should start by reducing the crushing tax burden

This is hilarious

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

The EU has invited Taliban officials to Brussels to discuss a migration deal — and today I am shaken and deeply disturbed by this.

This is the same Taliban that banned girls from secondary schools and forced them into marriage. The same Taliban that, earlier this month, arrested dozens of women in Herat for how they were dressed. The same Taliban that detains, beats and executes women who dare to speak out or break their rules.

Through its system of gender apartheid, the Taliban have erased women and girls from public life. Europe must not legitimise a regime responsible for one of the worst human rights crises in the world.

Any engagement with the Taliban must begin and end with the rights of Afghan women and girls.

What Ed Miliband has done to the local economy in Aberdeen is absolutely disgraceful. He has choked off the oil and gas economy because of his net zero claptrap. Absolutely shameful.

What a waste of money @CityWestminster Maybe @the_tpa should look into these expensive projects that they seem to forget to maintain 😡

How can it be that the Home Office can’t even keep track of those they know who have failed our asylum system?

Where have all the failed asylum seekers gone? The Home Office doesn’t know.

The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review.

They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆.

Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.

Natural England wants to remove 90% of Dartmoor’s ponies.

Our Exmoor ponies are next. These animals have been here for thousands of years.

A government quango, destroying the countryside and its heritage.

More than 100 new datacentres in the UK plan to burn gas to generate electricity, some potentially doing so permanently.

▪️No net zero for the data centres.

▪️Net zero enforced on us plebs (probably to enable the data centres to burn more energy).

The whole thing is a scam.

As @the_tpa analysis has shown, a holiday tax would be an absolute disaster for tourism, hospitality businesses, and young people alike. A far cry from the easy money-maker that ministers and mayors think it is.
