The trend of women posting how they hate their kids on social media is the worst one I’ve seen yet.
I can’t relate.
My kids are the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I’m beyond grateful for them.
@ThompsonMaire Daughter got straight As in all her Gcse sitting with AA in double award science and was declined physics at A level as didnt meet the school criteria 🤯
If people don't already know that:
- It's wrong to rape
- It's wrong to have sex with children
- Men and women are equal
The answer isn't to tell them when they come here, and hope for the best.
It's to never let them into our country in the first place.
WORKING PARENTS ARE BEING TREATED LIKE FOOLS!!
Imagine this.
You get up at 6am every morning while it’s still dark.
You go to work, you graft, you pay your taxes, and you try to give your kids a better life.
Then you find out that parents who don’t work and live on benefits will now get an extra £4,500 a year just because their child starts an apprenticeship.
And you?
You get nothing.
This isn’t just policy.
It feels personal.
Working families are the ones holding this country together. We pay for the schools, the hospitals, the benefits system itself. Yet time and time again we’re the ones left at the back of the queue.
Under the new scheme, families on Universal Credit will be compensated when their teenager starts an apprenticeship so they don’t lose money.
On paper it sounds helpful. In reality it’s another reminder that the system looks after those who take more than they give, while the people who keep everything going are expected to just shut up and pay.
It should always pay more to work than to stay on benefits.
That’s not right-wing. That’s not left-wing. That’s basic fairness.
When a government keeps rewarding the least deserving and ignoring the people who actually fund it, something is badly broken.
How much longer are ordinary working families expected to put up with this?
Nobody should be better off on benefits than someone who gets out of bed everyday & works full time.
Back in the day people were embarrassed claiming benefits.
Nowadays it appears it’s a badge of honour.
It should pay to work not pay to stay in bed.
The two-child benefit cap should be reinstated. Why should hard-working professionals unable to afford kids ourselves be forced to bankroll families choosing to have three or more? Arguably the most flawed Starmer policy
If you aren't working why can't you look after your own children? Why should working parents pay even higher taxes to fund free childcare for people on benefits?
Labour are not the party of work, they are the party of welfare.
"They've done it to one of their own"
Sky's @ConnorGillies spoke to Jamie Corry, the resident of one of the houses that caught fire in the violent protests that took place in Belfast last night.
Mothers who are mothering without being mothered by their own mother are living a completely different reality than mothers who are being mothered while they mother.
