@12Walkies Glancing at him, could they have inputted incorrect height or weight? (My daughters was typed in 2kg heavier than she weighed - she still was “normal” but I would have flagged it had got the overweight letter)!
@MissLauraMarcus@Baroness_Nichol But why is the “triple” lock the most appropriate upratijg mechanism - is the better of 2.5%; increase in CPI; and increase in average earnings the right approach? Or would it be fairer to link to just one of the final two?
@ThomasWillett9 How on earth is what you have quoted “transphobic”? Isn’t it simply querying whether people with lawfully held positions will be treated lawfully? Which should be a concern of all those in a civilised country irrespective of the topic
@BryWilson494@AllisonPearson@DominicFarrell Genuine question re rape… what’s the standard of proof? It’s taking years for cases to even get to court? Would an allegation be sufficient?
@YTMcShorts@StillDavy@NimkoAli You don’t live in real world… Even if you paid min wage £12.71 for only 8 hours a day 4 days a week, plus NI and pension, it’s £25kpa (2k/mbth) and if need 8-6 for 5 days would be £38k. And actual reality is nannying not min wage job!

@politicallyvoid@theashrb@SugarBonk The justification was that she had right to another citizenship so her Uk citizenship could be removed. I disagree morally and think dangerous precedent for those with right to other citizenship (ie those who could get Irish passport). Bit wouldn’t apply where only British
@Kevin_Maguire No representation without taxation? Fantastic idea. Let’s implement accross the board - all the uk resident net takers as well as those resident abroad in any country (paying income tax or not)?
@politicallyvoid@TJiMTS Is the issue that they pay no income tax in Dubai or not enough tax? Would other taxes in Dubai suffice? Or do you need them to come to uk and pay tax on goods and services? Or is it only income tax equivalent that concerns you?
@Bloatee1@DominicMcGregor I guess next question is why aren’t they holidaying in the Uk paying VAT on the goods and services. Why should we help those who want to spend their disposable income in a foreign nation. It would be much cheaper to repatriate people from Cornwall
