Why aren't water company bosses and executives who have caused so much pollution been arrested, prosecuted and jailed? This really is such a disgraceful scandal - our national infrastructure being exploited for profit

What Kendall doesn’t state (behind a paywall Telegraph piece) is that most of disabled population are in fact pensioners. 45%. That the rise in State pension age for women increased disability benefits as confirmed by OBR which Kendall chose to ignore. Pension age increase? 👀 👇🏻

Why shouldn’t twenty year-olds run £2 billion council budgets? Because they abolish flood management committees and spend the money on personal assistants instead. Think Mad Men on steroids.

'I'm so disappointed that my country is treating its honest, hardworking people the way that it has' 92 year old Betty Brown, the oldest victim of the Post Office's Horizon IT scandal, told #BBCBreakfast of her anger at still waiting for her case to be settled

Arguing with scientists doesn’t make you part of the debate. It makes you part of the problem. Science isn’t about being right. It’s about getting less wrong over time. Changing your mind with new evidence isn’t weakness. It’s how progress works.

The most dangerous stat you’ll read today: “1 in 8 prisoners were born overseas” It’s being weaponised by far-right figures to stoke fear. But here’s the crucial detail they’re not telling you:

In an important letter to The Times, Professor Baroness (Ilora) Finlay makes clear that assisted suicide proposals coming to House of Lords do nothing to address “pain and suffering”. Comprehensive palliative care is desperately needed in the UK - not lethal injections.

Just 1.5% of Universal Credit claimants are refugees. Someone should let Nigel Farage and his party know thelondoneconomic.com/politics/just-…

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.

Why are numbers on UC higher? 1. People moved off old benefits onto UC (without the option) 2. Rising pension age means more people in working age system for longer 3. More people with ill health & disabilities, barriers to treatment, Covid legacy 4. Deepening poverty... 1/2

"1 million more people claiming Universal Credit in the last year" Yeah, mostly because people are being moved from legacy benefits onto UC. But don't let the facts get in the way of your agenda...

A 2019 study by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation found that benefit cuts since 2010 contributed to a 20% rise in homelessness, costing local authorities £1.1 billion annually in temporary housing and support. Benefits cuts never actually save money.

Quick recap. No mass exodus private to state schools. No exodus of non Doms. No mass redundancies from leading businesses but recruitment a bit shaky. Mortgages down. Interest rates down. Growth up a tad. Crime down. NHS improving. And Reform got 10-15% at yesterdays elections
