Jeremy Hunt on Sunday with Laura Kuennsberg "pensioners have had very generous pension increases". What fucking planet is this idiot living on? The cost of living has gone up by £100 a week and pensioner's got £11. Is it any wonder nobody trusts a politician?

Dear @Keir_Starmer

People can’t afford another £200 energy bill increase.

If you really wanted to make a change, you’d sack this lunatic before he bankrupts the country.

Sky News just did an extended piece on the UK being the world's largest importer of jet fuel, with zero production capacity.

They managed not to mention the closure 2 years ago of the Grangemouth oil refinery which produced jet fuel.

It’s really annoying when you get an insurance renewal quote & when you shop around manage to get it cheaper, then when you call your insurance company to say you’ve got a cheaper quote elsewhere they can miraculously match it or better it.

Shouldn’t insurance companies just give you their best price in the first place for being loyal?

🚨 Another day of shame for Scottish Labour MPs.

Every single one of them has just failed to stop the prosecution of our brave, elderly veterans.

Every single @ScotTories MP voted to stop it.

This is a disgraceful way to treat those who served our country.

For those that appear to begrudge pensioners their state pension just remember that the majority of these people worked from the age of 16yrs until retirement paying their taxes.

Compare that to today when there are millions on benefits not paying any taxes but will still receive a state pension.

Also the state pension is well below the living wage & yet a lot of pensioners are expected to get by with no additional help unlike people on benefits.

[Jen k 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @Jenny_1884]

Increase the tax threshold @Keir_Starmer & this will put more money in peoples pockets.

Problem solved for you.

Someone posted this on Facebook...so true!

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.

Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.

When he's gone,
Do not relax,
It's time to apply
The inheritance tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world... We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middle class,a huge manufacturing base, and Mum stayed home to raise the kids.

What in the happened? Could it be the lying parasitic politicians wasting our money?
Oh, and don't forget the relatively new bank charges....
And we all know what we think of Bankers.

I hope this goes around the UK at least 1,000,000,000 times!!!

YOU can help it get there!

This lot won't care about gas price rises or petrol prices, because they'll claim it on their expenses. 🤮

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Think-tank funded by the super rich wants to freeze the UK state pension, end the triple-lock.

Full state pension is below 50% of the minimum wage.

2m pensioners live in poverty. 110,000 a year die in poverty.

Democide disguised as financial policy.

Can someone tell me what I’m actually paying for?

My latest council tax bill has arrived. £330 a month.

For what?

We still have to pay extra just to have the garden waste collected.

The roads are knackered, the drains are blocked, and every time it rains the streets flood.

The local town is now devoid of shops because business rates and parking charges have made it almost impossible to trade and expensive for people to visit.

So where is the money going?

Councils spend tax revenue on vanity projects like cycle lanes that might see a bike once a decade and disability parking bays that sit empty most of the time.

Meanwhile the services we actually rely on continue to decline.

We are expected to pay more and more for less and less.

And at the same time we all see public money being spent on people who entered this country illegally and have never contributed.

So I’ll ask again.
What exactly are we paying for?

The whole system is broken.

Justice dealt a blow and sad to see North Ayrshire MP @irenecampbell voting for this.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Here’s the list of the 304 MPs who voted to end the right to jury trials. All of them are Labour MPs. This is an affront to British justice. They have ripped the heart out of a constitutional principle. Shameful.

Extra 1.1bn barrels of oil found in North Sea : r/ukpolitics
While oil prices surge the UK Zia now sitting on over £1 trillion of oil reserves in the North Sea but due to ‘net zero’ policies we buy our oil and gas from Norway instead. Madness. https://t.co/A77NnZhq48

[Rebecca Butler @rebeccabutlerm2]

If only we had our own gas reserves, eh?

But, hey! I’m really happy for the Norwegians.

[Net Zero Watch @NetZeroWatch]

“If Britain were really prioritising energy security, we would be drilling in the North Sea, pursuing fracking and keeping a strategic supply of coal for emergencies… Rather than decommissioning oil and gas production, the Prime Minister should decommission Ed Miliband.” @spectator
