UK's shadow workforce is paid as little as 65p an hour. Who cares for the carers?
6m unpaid carers provide vital support to sick, disabled, old.
1.4m receive Carer's Allowance of £86.45 a week. More likely to be prosecuted for tiny errors in claims.
Govts don't value humanity.

Anyone who votes for Farage should be rounded up and put in education
Yup. Absolutely insane and criminal that we are still dependent on fossil fuels. Future historians will scratch their heads and wonder what the hell everyone was thinking...
And then just conclude that rich people were happy to get richer... and knew that dumb people would go along with it.
That's how most people look first thing in the morning. Not everyone has the luxury of a home with stables and an hour or two to come round before inflicting themselves on the community
Johnson partied as pensioners died alone. Why didn't Johnson get this pressure to resign. Farage appointed a Russian Agent as the leader of Reform UK in Wales. Why doesn't Farage get this pressure to resign The answer is the Tory Press.
Very good from @verybrexitproblems.bsky.social
Behold. Another lying patriot who avoids paying UK tax.
You don't pay into the club so you don't get to slag it off.

One of my fave community notes to date…
Why does Badenoch have rats running around her Westminster abode?
I think it’s just a member of her shadow cabinet
It is. The hatred they get is off the scale. Whilst far from perfect it is the best government we have had for decades.
People sometimes say politics isn’t funny anymore. Those people clearly haven’t been watching the birth of Your Party…
From ‘Private Eye - The Year In Review 2025’ on the Eye’s YouTube youtu.be/AQ5Xxj2EwGQ?...
Amazing how the mob baying for Starmer to quit and demanding another General Election less than two years after the last landslide win are the same idiots who said Brexit meant Brexit, and told us Remainers to get over it because the 52-48 [advisory] Referendum was the enduring will of the people. 
Annnd sure enough BBC stirs the pot for Far Right Wing Racists narrative with this vacuous headline👇🏼
“Migrant Channel crossings resume after four-week gap”
Don’t recall them saying last weekend
“This is the third week without any Migrant Boat Crossings”
So it’s press / repeat usual the crap 🙄
Please can someone place a ban on Chris Philp?
That pound shop Jeremy Hunt telling me that Labour has 'failed women' is more thany blood pressure can take.

2016 Daily Mail: We want foreigners out! We don’t care if it makes us poorer. Brexit means Brexit!
2025 Daily Mail: Foreigners are leaving Starmer’s Britain because this country is poor and shit!
This country would be so much better off without this hypocritical, incendiary, irresponsible rag.
Nigel Farage, "At Michael Barrymore's house they removed all the ashtrays, on the basis that they chuck all the fags in the pool."
I guess she's trying to show that SHE has balls.
Well. I’m on a pretty decent salary, particularly for the region I live in and none of the tax/ pension measures have affected me. None.
I work for a global Company, and I’m not struggling.
If I’m ok, so will others be.
If people with £5m houses have a problem, sell them.
This was last month.
Two disgraceful, former Tory PMs, Johnson & Truss, with Farage, partying together.
Such greedy people. Deluded, selfish, right wing liars and racists - who broke Britain's economy, but they're still laughing all the way to the bank

With his party riding high in the polls, toasting a game-changing £9m donation and welcoming its first Tory defector in the Lords, Nigel Farage seems to be sitting pretty. But creeping allegations of racist schoolboy behaviour — and his belligerent response to them — could harm his chances of winning over wavering voters, writes Josh Glancy (Cartoon of shocked? angry? frightened? people under the money bags holding placards saying ‘BIGOT’, ‘RACIST’ and ‘NAZI NIGEL’)
Crick believes that there is a clear line to be drawn between Farage the sixth-former and Farage the politician. "So much of his character is the same as you can see at Dulwich," he says. "The boy who's desperate for attention, who loves debating, who loves division. The English nationalism, the interest - almost obsession - with immigration, the admiration for Enoch Powell, the free-market Thatcherism; all of that began at Dulwich." Much of the public has already made up its mind on Farage. In as much as this story cuts through to the wider elector-ate, some will think it deeply unfair to judge Farage on his adolescence; while others will see it as fair game and reflective of the man he later became. But there will be many who are still undecided on Farage and, for this last camp, his belligerent response to the allegations will be a test. He has the polling support. He has the Tory defections. He has the money now too. But does he have the ability to woo and keep voters who once found him unsavoury? Farage is unlikely to change tack now. "He's got to be true to him-self," says the senior Reform source. "There is precious little point in apologising to people like Ed Davey." Additional Reporting: Harry Yorke
On why Farage doesn’t apologise for his schoolboy racism:
“if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too.’ ”
Exactly.
He is racist. So are his voters. He can’t be pissing them off by saying sorry.

Interesting what Crick notes.
Farage like Mogg and Johnson are really just grown up versions of their teenage selves. Lots of public school boys leave fully formed - and armed with an entitlement and a sense of empowerment that takes them through the rest of their lives.
Today is the day.

Pleased to discover that slightly misnaming the national chess championship you won as a school child is a much more serious offence than repeatedly racially abusing your fellow pupils and telling them they should go to the gas chamber
I bet she wears stripes and checks at the same time.
Plus sides to today: Two-child benefit scrapped. Largely progressive tax implications. Good market reaction. No big spending cuts. Nightmare prospect of cutting funding to net zero etc avoided. It's a left-wing budget. Those who say there's no difference between Labour and Tories are bananas.
