The replies to this are full of smug Libs who once again will learn nothing from these results. Can't wait for them to come running to the left begging us for our vote to defeat facism in five years time.

@PatrickLawren20 @Streettough Which would be relevant if you thought today's 20 and 30 year olds would be in the same position when they're 60+. I tend to think that is unlikely and has nothing to do with them spending too much on Netflix, avocados or whatever bullshit boomers think young people buy.

@zoekennedy @BareLeft GenXers are the worst and I speak as one. They've taken all the "back in my day" nonsense from their parents and grandparents and doubled down on it.

@Thanos_Taken @FoxiePunkFolk @SaulStaniforth The idea that supermarket workers refuse extra hours to keep their benefits is nonsense. Employers only offer part time contracts as it reduces the amount of NI they pay.

[Flying_Rodent @flying_rodent]

I see that everyone now understands the Labour right deliberately sabotages their party’s electoral prospects with idiotic bullshit and shenanigans whenever they don’t get their way, and it isn’t an insane conspiracy theory for tinfoil hat crackpots any more.

Never forget that LGBTQ people are grooming children into their ideology while “Allah, Allah, who the fuck is Allah” is a sentiment this little kid came up with all on his own from first principles

@kev_rose1 @OfSymbols Didn't this lead to one of our fearless journalists asking him if he planned to nationalise Greggs?

@Alex__MG @Disco_Stooo_ @maxcownie_ There are very few full time jobs at Tesco. Average hours probably between 16 and 20 and then the workers fight it out for any extras.

@mindsetmachine I hate this shit. Coached youth football for a bit and saw 10 year old kids doing the exact same thing encouraged by their parents. Take the runners up medal, be proud of what you've achieved and strive to get a winners one next time.

[Ipswich Fans Supporting Foodbanks @ITFC_FSF]

People in Ipswich are relying on foodbanks to survive.

Meanwhile, we see PR for Nigel Farage and a party claiming people can live on 30p meals.

“No official involvement" from @IpswichTown is no excuse.

Football should stand with its community, not platform division.

@doctor_rahmeh Must be one of those "no go areas" I keep hearing about from far right grifters.

Tom has picked an arbitrary data source to make a whopping false equivalence here.

By using NASA's budget, he's comparing apples with space rockets — trying to make a shocking point.

It's utterly disingenuous.

To understand the comparisons in welfare spend versus space rockets, we only need to look at the percentage relative data for each source.

Let's look at NASA first.

In the 1960s when the space race was well and truly underway, NASA was receiving around 4.3% of the US federal budget, but since the Apollo craze died off that tailed off every decade.

The moon landing happened, the world moved on.

70s ≈ 1%
90s ≈ 0.8%
00s ≈ 0.7%
10s ≈ 0.5%
20s ≈ 0.35%

As for the UK's welfare spending, it has remained relatively stable around for a long time now, with a slight downward trend. As a percentage of government spending, it shows:

1990 ≈ 28-30%
2000 ≈ 27-29%
2010 ≈ 33-35%
2019 ≈ 26%
2020 ≈ 28%
2024 ≈ 23-24%
2025 ≈ 23.6%

You can see that things fluctuate, and you can see the upticks after the economic crash in 2008 and during Covid, but, as a trend, not much happening.

As a percentage of GDP, it's even more stable:

1990 ≈ 9-10%
2010/12 ≈ 11-12%
2019 ≈ 10%
2025/26 ≈ 10.6–10.9%

So you can see, while Tom thinks he's pulled off a slam dunk in statistical terms, when you actually look into his claim, it's more of an own goal.

He's comparing two entirely different data sources, and the numbers don't back up his figures.

Nice try Tom.

Aside from his blatant lies/ignorance about UK population numbers, Ratcliffe is an immigrant tax exile in Monaco, and most of his Manchester United team are immigrants to UK. So he’s a stinking race-baiting hypocrite.

@SangitaMyska It always amazes me that the UK is the 6th largest economy in the world but apparently we can't afford anything. Our welfare bill (which includes state pensions) is around 12% of GDP. It's almost as if somebody else, rather than welfare claimants, aren't paying their fair share.
