Why are taxpayers paying what employers should be paying? Why are taxpayers subsidising employers? Why do government enable this? It’s an enormous scam.

The effect of in work benefits is to funnel public money into shareholder profits. It rewards companies for paying wages below what a family needs to live on, boosting their profits and reducing their wage bill. It makes no sense. It's also a cancer in our society.

“Thames Water could be sold to a Chinese firm after public rescue.” Did someone mention frying pan fire? Time to be done with Thames Water, time to act, time to be decisive. Nationalise it; today. thetimes.com/business-money…

PSR in a nutshell Aston Villa build a squad to challenge for regular Champions League football yet they are forced to sell their assets & cannot reinvest the money Back in the pack go Villa, while teams like Man Utd are free to spend fortunes and inevitably get back in the UCL

£282,000 a year is being spent by the Government to look after each Child in Social Care who isn't fostered. £60,000 of that goes straight to the billionaires running this con without ever being spent on a child. Privatised Child Social care, stealing from orphans.

Percentage of GDP spent on welfare has remained virtually unchanged since creation of welfare state, but throughout that time we have had to endure endless "it's spiralling out of control" sh!te. The UK has one of the least generous welfare systems in Europe.

We’re told the Royal Family is the pride of Britain. The best of us. A symbol of who we are. They’re not. They’re parasites. They stole the land we live on, crowned themselves kings, and paid sycophants to protect them from the people ever taking it back. Then they went out and

My advice to people, take I'm angry at people not being paid as badly as me. And turn it into, I'm angry at being paid badly. Median wage 2008 - £24,769 Median wage 2025 - £29,600 Inflation from 2008-2025 - 70.51%, your wage should be £42,231 We should all be angry.

As I said, the idea that the state pension - which millions of us rely, or will rely on, is ‘unsustainable’ and needs to be abolished, is being relentlessly seeded. It’s a repulsive idea which has to be opposed.

William's homes. 🧵 The taxpayer currently provides William & Kate with an 'apartment' in Kensington Palace. It's actually a mansion, complete with 20 rooms, 4 storeys, several "reception rooms" and "drawing rooms," lots of staff bedrooms, a gym, an elevator, and a walled garden.

Have you noticed how we’ve gone from ‘the triple lock is unaffordable’ to ‘abolish the state pension altogether’ in just a few months? The assault on the triple lock was always the ‘foot in the door’. The gateway to advocating for the end of the state pension altogether.

I’ve said it before and I’ll continue to say it till I’m proven wrong. There is NO place like Elland Road when you lot are making noise like that. Just raw pride and emotion. The finest in the land. 🙌🏻 💛💙🤍 #LUFC 🎤

*One month before her 95th birthday, Patricia Routledge wrote something that still gently echoes:* **“I’ll be turning 95 this coming Monday. In my younger years, I was often filled with worry — worry that I wasn’t quite good enough, that no one would cast me again, that I

Almost a third of people never make it to the age of 70. This means they will pay in all their working lives and never receive a penny in state pension. This is a morally unacceptable cut. Yet there is money left for a huge increase in military spending. telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/…

Sky’s David Jones (Sunderland fan) being noticeably patronising about Farke’s lap of Elland Road after the game. Failed to mention that he does it every game, whether we beat Everton or lose to Oxford, he never fails to thank the fans. It’s about respect not plaudits. #lufc

I've just caught up with this. Every leader of every political party should read, including you Keir Starmer. It is a tale of acute moral injury endured by hidden, forgotten public servants doing their best in near impossible circumstances. #PrisonOfficer telegraph.co.uk/money/jobs/car…
