Never forgive the asset stripping, human rights removing, food bank politicos, tax dodging aficionados, austerity implementing, refugee blaming, NHS dismantling, greedy profiteering, sewage loving, #Brexit flag shagging, corrupting @CONservatives #RejoinEU #ExitBrexit 🇪🇺

Plus the idiocy of bringing in austerity as a response to the Global Financial Crisis rather than doing what Osborne himself said in his 2015 Mansion House Speech: “With our national debt unsustainably high, and with the uncertainty about what the world economy will throw at us in the coming years, we must act now to fix the roof while the sun is shining."

Cameron and Osborne are responsible for the mess we're in today. All they cared about was themselves and the Conservative Party. The fact one is in the Lords with lots of advisory roles, and the other earning shed loads as MD and head of OpenAI for Countries, and as a partner at investment bank, Robey Warshaw - in 2024, their 4 partners shared £70 million in profit-related distributions, means they're laughing all the way to the bank whilst our country suffers!!

If you know someone who is claiming fraudulently please contact the DWP. Otherwise stop engaging in hate speech against those you know nothing about. (For PIP, the main disability benefit, the estimated fraud rate was 0.4% in the financial year ending 2025)
Most of us know someone on welfare who probably shouldn't be. A friend of a friend. A distant cousin. The chap a few doors down. For too many, welfare has become a top-up for the cost of living, even "holiday money". Only @Conservatives will tell the uncomfortable truth and defuse this financial time bomb.

It is reasonable to be of the opinion that Kemi Badenoch & Helen Whatley's public statements/policies are harmful, stigmatising & discriminatory towards disabled & vulnerable people. They can explain why they claim expenses back when neither of them need the money.

Parents don't tell their kids they are 'defective' nor that they will 'never amount to anything' Kemi, only you do.

Double Amputee marathon runner Richard Whitehead was gobsmacked Kemi Badenoch had weaponised his achievements to attack the most vulnerable people in society and that the achievements of one Disabled person should NEVER be used to attack others. Then he offered to educate her.

People scraping by on £100 a week, including veterans like Paul, are not the reason our country is in a mess. It's the billionaires & big corporations getting massive carveouts & handouts from the rest of us & still dodging billions in taxes. 🔁 Repost

It’s interesting that the party that wants minimal regulation and red tape on business wants maximum regulation and red tape on the poor.

Here we have it the PMs’ 2010 - 2024. If Britain is ‘broken’ as right wing politicians pontificate then these 5 played a big part - the EU referendum, Brexit, Covid, decline political standards, financial mishandling and more.

Hey Helen Whately, did you mean this then but you don't mean it now? ⬇️ Excerpt from Helen Whately's Third witness statement of the Covid Inquiry (2025)

I am a nurse practitioner, and one of my specialities is ADHD. I live in Joes constituency, and whilst his unique experience is valid, it is simply that, unique. Diagnosis helps most people - and hypothetical posturing doesn’t. Stop attacking disabled people, and remember it was the Tories who gutted Britain.
Newly diagnosed with ADHD Conservative MP Joe Robertson says a diagnosis earlier in life would have caused him to see himself “in an inherently negative starting position”. "My worry is it would have made me think of everything as uniquely challenging to me." @AVMikhailova

We pay these politicians to represent us and all we get in return is attack after attack after attack whilst they get richer and richer at our expense - the largest benefit recipients in the UK with the minimum amount of work, backhanders galore, these corrupt charlatans are totally vindictive. Prime Ministers £180,760.65 annual salary Ministers £135,293.35 annual salary MP's £98,599. annual salary PART TIME HOURS 4 DAY WEEK 22 WEEKS “WORK” A YEAR PAID 52 WEEKS A YEAR. PAID TIME AWAY FROM WORK ON PAID FOR JOLLIES EXTORTIONATE EXPENSES GOLD PLATED PENSION ENDLESS PERKS
Next week, the Labour Government will face a reckoning over how it plans to bring down the soaring benefits bill for young people. Labour insiders reveal their private fears over sanctions for young people Read more: trib.al/wv6vXg2

The cost of welfare, including pensions, has not changed much as a proportion of GDP. Rich people always want the poor to pay for their privilege and wealth.

Why does nobody in the media point out to Helen Whatley and the other Tories that the entire benefit system we have was designed by the Conservative Party? They are responsible for both Universal Credit and PIP. Why did they bring in a system they now say is unfit for purpose?
