@hypersonic_soul The lack of Cate Blanchett is disturbing.

@ElZakalwe @Nigel_Farage @Emma34770971 Some interesting ideas.

I'm curious about what cuts you would make to support this?

£240 billion in cuts to spending will be somewhat controversial, to put it mildly.

[Swityx117 @swityx117]

@dianamahon @andyburnham For starters only 13% rely solely on the state pension. 87% also have a private one or other sources of income.

Secondly, the national living wage is around £24k per year. So where is this extra £160-£180bn coming from? Youre happy to see steep tax rises to cover it?

[Swityx117 @swityx117]

@RobertJenrick Oh please....

When is it EVER the pensioners who are expected to face cuts first.

Virtually every politician and party bend over backwards trying to appease them, since they're the most reliable voting block. Hence why the Tories are usually the party in government.

@PolitlcsUK Andy, you just earned my vote.

@sarcastic_us The tech in the iron man suit will make you a trillionaire.

Won't need to worry about any hot girlfriends in that scenario.

@cfdownes_ I can't help but find those on the extreme ends of the political spectrum funny. They really don't seem to understand that their biggest enemy isn't the media, mainstream parties or even their opponents. It's themselves.

Restore had an easy win here until you opened your mouth.

@baggiedave70 @royaldock124076 @CallumCMason Funnily enough, yes I have. I've also seen my rent substantially increase over the past few years.

[Swityx117 @swityx117]

@royaldock124076 @CallumCMason @baggiedave70 £24k per year and no mortgage left to pay sounds like a pretty decent financial situation to be in.

Obviously even better when factoring in husband/wife.

[Swityx117 @swityx117]

@upursbetty @revpaulwhite Incorrect. According to the DWP, only 13% of current pensioners rely solely on the state pension and pensioner specific benefits.

The state pension was never supposed to be the primary source of income. It was to prevent absolute poverty and supplement a private pension.

@1878Anonymous @PoliticsJOE_UK @andyburnham @RestoreBritain If that's "what everyone really wants" why is Restore Britain polling at 4%?

[Swityx117 @swityx117]

@LordRoar12 @linmeitalks Just had a browse to see roughly how much this would cost the treasury. This would blow a hole in the treasury of around £250bn to £300bn. Yikes.

[Swityx117 @swityx117]

@LordRoar12 @linmeitalks That would probably see the tax take drop by like 50%.

I presume you think the government should scrap the welfare state, state pension & privatise the NHS in order to afford this?
Because scraping foreign aid & net zero ain't gonna cut it.

[Swityx117 @swityx117]

@chelmsfordahmed @PolitlcsUK @BroadhurstJosh If you thought austerity under the Tories was bad, it would be absolutely nothing compared to GARGANTUAN cuts in spending to pay for that idea.

[Swityx117 @swityx117]

@Sweettalkin53 @RupertLowe10 That's a bit rich considering Reform UK seems to be recruiting as many former Tories as possible.

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: Rupert Lowe has confirmed Restore Britain will stand a candidate in the Makerfield by-election

[Swityx117 @swityx117]

@PolitlcsUK Makes sense.

Restore Britain has basically no presence among the majority of the public. This will be the most watched by-election in UK history, and will be a fantastic way to promote RB to the masses.

[Swityx117 @swityx117]

@REFORMINGLONDON @ElectionMapsUK @Survation @RestoreBritain_ @KemiBadenoch The Tories would be suicidal to stand down in this seat. It would just cement their reputation as the junior right wing party of the UK.

[Swityx117 @swityx117]

@manic278394370 @lewis_goodall After the last by election, I doubt it. Every party is going to go hard on this one.

[Swityx117 @swityx117]

@odzpx @PolitlcsUK Ooof that's an unfortunate coincidence.
