In my ward (council area) we have 3 male councillors. Two are Labour and this one is Reform. If my lovely neighbour Richard (a Sikh taxi driver who goes by the name "Richard") had a problem, I wonder how Cllr. Mahoney would cope?

Stale. Great description. "Why don't you spend more money on defence/fixing prisons/stopping the boats?" Followed by "Where is the money coming from?" Followed by "Why is borrowing so high? ... Bond markets blah blah ad nauseum. And around we go again.

Is welfare spending ''out of control''? It's estimated to be 11.1 per cent of GDP this financial year. That's just 1.1 per cent of GDP higher than in 2007-08, and total welfare spending has actually fallen by 0.9 per cent of GDP since 2012-13 ⤵️
