@nigelwilde@DeborahMeaden@MamaMoose_Be @leonardfilming @Keir_Starmer Gov did massive campaign for pension credit (as receipt of this ensured WFP continued), 220,000 applied who now have access to further financial aid ie council tax support, warm home discount, which they were not entitled to by just receiving the universal wfp.
@nigelwilde@DeborahMeaden@MamaMoose_Be @leonardfilming @Keir_Starmer Foreign aid is complex; global security/avoidance of humanitarian crisis are the drivers (so aid provision is ultimately to protect us). It’s a valid question though, priorities should be scrutinised, which is why low income pensioners still receive WFP and millionaires don’t.
@nigelwilde@DeborahMeaden@MamaMoose_Be @leonardfilming @Keir_Starmer Deborah won’t get the winter fuel payment now either. But those who need it will get it. It’s not reasonable for every single pensioner to get a winter fuel
payment regardless of circumstances when young families are much more likely to be in poverty.
@VoxDantes@sibelia73@maddenifico Nice try at deflection. We don’t have restrictions - God knows sometimes we’d like them when you hear some of the rhetoric, but freedom of speech is very much alive here. Trump is not respected by the majority and after yesterday’s circus, I suspect even less so.
@LibertyJack1776@Ron_Zhu@ZelenskyyUa@POTUS Your argument was why aren’t they giving more - well they are and a lot more per person than the US. End of discussion. No one is arguing about what the US gave.
@Jpatt79@BettencourtBrad@LuizPersechini@marlon_humphrey ‘Tighten up Skippy’ is my new favourite insult - from UK I have no idea what it actually means but hazarding a guess it’s not anything to do with Skippy the Kangaroo; more a reference to the utter lunacy of the individual who posted the ridiculous inarticulate comment.
@tomcoates Oh flip; I’ve not read Twitter for months cos it only served to raise my blood pressure and turn me into a screaming swearing banshee. See you in a few months then.
@MrJackLowe Volunteered at Boomtown - identical scenes - insufficient bins to cater for no’s & insufficient clean up - carpets of litter & bins always overflowing. Volunteered at ArcTanGent - 4 double wheelie type bins every 10/15 metres, emptied when 3/4 full - literally no litter at all.

@NEOintheMCR I hope @AldiUK put something in place to support the customers who do not have the capacity, either mentally, physically or financially to use a mobile phone (or to shop elsewhere). @MindCharity@ageuklondon@RNIB could offer some suggestions I would think.
