Live for family and friends. Likes tech, gadgets, DIY and other boring old man stuff. Let's politics annoy me more than I should.
So when Labour came to power they immediately cancelled winter fuel allowance, slapped vat on private school fees and have flirted with cutting pip and disability benefits, to name a few items. Their reasoning for this being that the tories had created a £20Bn black hole.…
So raise your hand if you are surprised that inflation is up.. A large hike on Employers NIC, an even more mammoth rise in min wage, and people are surprised that prices of goods, especially in retail, hospitality and leisure are rising fast. The economically illiterate cheered…
Turns out @CounsellingSam is a bit of a delicate flower, simply cant accept that people would fake disability to get free money. When I call out the 60% rise in disability claimants in 10 years and the almost 300% rise in pip claims, I'm apparently an ableist c*nt. This is why…

The transcripts from the court case show that Rachel Reeves was advised January 2025 would be the most disruprive time to implement taxation on school fees, she was also advised it would adversely affect SEND children. This was never about rasing money (as they can't demonstrate…

Demonstrable lies from an MP. There are ~580k independent school pupils. to raise £4.7bn would take £8100 in VAT from every single one. Requiring an average annual school fee of £40,500. How on earth are we now living in a society where elected members of parliament can just…
Surprise Brexit benefit❓🇬🇧
I challenge anyone to justify this from @NationalTheatre. This is the sort of divisive and class war discrimination that our government has now given rise to. The National Theatre is charging different prices for the same show, depending on where your child goes to school.…

What an absolutely pathetic way to talk about children. The vast majority of independent schools are world's away from the stereotypes you appear to be wallowing in. If you dont believe private schools should exist, a better approach would be to argue for state schools to be…
More of these c*** factories that close the better
So our state schools are losing teachers and our state SEND provision is crumbling under pressure, yet the government can, in effect, spend £650 million attacking children in independent schools purely to satisfy the marxists in their own party. Wow.
“The flagship policy [VAT on private school fees] appears to be falling apart spectacularly. Instead of extracting £1.5bn from private schools, Treasury analysis has suggested that the new tax policy could cost the Government an extra £650m per year.” telegraph.co.uk/money/labour-i…
Is there any greater embodiment of the sheep in animal farm than @MikeTappTweets ? Im amazed he didn't try and shoehorn in "further and faster" into this utter drivel.
Reform can’t even get a Chair that believes it’s the right Party for the country. Meanwhile, Labour: Feeding kids Rebuilding the NHS Transforming the Military Raising wages Slashing bills Achieving economic growth Recruiting more police Getting people back to work Deporting…
Your sister is borrowing over £10bn a month, and £20 Billion in April alone because she's spending like George Best during happy hour. Shes grown the deficit to over £137bn. I'd sit this one out if I were you.
Nigel Farage has a track record of praise for Liz Truss. Now his £80bn of unfunded spending commitments shows he would also crash our economy & lock us into a Truss-style doom loop. Only Labour can be trusted to continue delivering economic stability👇 mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
Why did I choose private school? I'm the first person in our families history to ever make that choice, and heres why. My "choice" of state school for my children consisted of: The most local school, 1.4 miles away, well below average on every single metric, some as much as…
Has anyone found a missing £1.5bn ? Given that state schools are an estimated £350m short on funding the pay rises for teachers and the income from vat on independent fees was forecast at £1.5bn for 25/26 surely we need to be questioning the competence (and honesty) of both…
