A search for "online safety act" will reveal screenshots of users seeking to access legal speech being asked to verify their identity. This should concern everyone who cares about free speech and privacy.
🚨 "A quarter of pensioners are millionaires. Why should young, hardworking taxpayers have to foot the bill for benefits to be given to millionaires?" @ReemAmirIbrahim exposes the pension crisis facing young Brits.
A report says pensioner poverty needs to be tackled and there should be more financial support for OAPS. As the average household wealth is five times higher for the people in their 60s and 70s than younger millennials, is it right to give more money to those in retirement?
We need to slash public expenditure. A lot. Afuera!
Britain needs brutal, brutal cuts - right across the board. It is the ONLY way to avoid absolute economic catastrophe. We are BROKE. It won’t win many votes, but it’s the grim truth. Afuera on olympic-busting steroids.
“I’m fine with Britain being economically worse off” is a take I have never come across before.
Pension and work is only one metric of economic drain and gain. I'm not concerned the present economic situation as much as the cultural one. I rather the country be economically worse off for a couple of decades to restore Britain's historic cultural identity.
Should pensioners get more financial support? The beautiful @redrumlisa and I just went head to head on @GMB with @edballs & @CharlotteHawkns

The triple lock on pensions is the new NHS. No rational arguments are made. All emotion. If you criticise the system, you’re accused of being a genuinely bad person.
🏭 "Soviet industrialisation is like achieving a high protein diet through cannibalism." @AAulaiwi reveals the horrific human cost of Stalin's industrial strategy. 👇
If you’re living in a million pound house and you can’t afford to live without financial support from the state, you should sell your house. We should abolish stamp duty so that this is a lot easier to do.
The amount of hate I have received for simply pointing out that the pension system is fiscally unsustainable is insane 😂😂
Mad innit

We’re on @JeremyVineOn5 with the lovely @Mattallwright 🥰

Can we all agree that a migrant that sexually assaults a teenage girl should be in prison longer than Lucy Connolly? Our justice system is so broken.

I don’t like this interview. The guy seems lovely and sweet, and just isn’t as articulate as a media trained presenter.
'What do you think are British values?' @StevenEdginton finds out from South London locals what it means to be British.
In September I turn 30. The same age as my dad when I was born. It’s made me think about the drop in living standards in one generation. On a fireman’s salary he could afford a 4 bed semi in a leafy part of Manchester. He had two kids (5 and new born), now almost completely…
The Chagos Islands deal doesn't just destroy self-determination, it erodes a disappearing cultural identity. Our Summer event celebrated Chagossian music, art and dance. We thank everyone who attended and witnessed this spectacle.
I was happy to be in the audience last night of @BBCRadio4 Any Questions. In particular as the venue was @LevyOldLibrary (the base for @ALLFM). Good panel discussion from the left and right! And great audience questions! Catch up on @BBCSounds @BBCPolitics #Levenshulme #Mcr
Tune into @BBCRadio4 for #BBCAQ! @EnverSol @Alison_McGovern
