The degradation of British politics has either made Suella Braverman – a former *attorney general* – this stupid and irresponsible, or else entirely indifferent to appearing as such to those who know the law if it gets her applause from her online fan base.

Good to hear the Prime Minister saying to @bbclaurak.bsky.social that crude cuts to welfare just push costs elsewhere, and the problems we need to address are the economic failures that put pressure on our social security system. He’s right about this.

As a disabled person with disabled family I care for, he is absolutely spot on. I used to watch every week, I wont watch with LK presenting. For a start talking over someone in interview is rude and its not a great experience for viewers who want to hear what is said (whether they agree or not)

Where is this from please, I would like to quote the source? The phraseology here is NOT what people voted for. Post covid why do they *think* more people have medical diagnoses fgs. At least after Ww1 and Ww2 and Spanish flu they actually acknowledged some peoples health was never the same?

My brother in law works in Boots in Oxford. Twenty years ago he saw a small, shabbily dressed man in a large woolly hat looking shifty near the sunglasses. Presuming a shoplifter, he got the security guard to escort him out the store. It was Thom Yorke

I have to be honest, lets not attribute all the things we dislike about him to people with dementia as they dont deserve it. They are actually unwell, until proven otherwise I see his behaviour as a choice. He knows what he is doing, it is how he wants to present himself to the world.

Crumbs.Im not saying the workers are irresponsible, more needs to be regulation on working time and help to adjust earnings if people cant survive financially. Not a friend but still a terrible case-thankfully she pushed the baby away and it was unharmed.The crane arm hadnt been secured fully.

I’ve been on benefits as a disabled single mum…it isn’t a picnic! If they think its £60k good luck to them! I work FT and still qualify for UC top ups and carers for a dependent - I dont get anywhere near 60k!!! I have tried my whole life to work enough to not need benefits tbh,its nigh impossible.

MJ @msmindstrike.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
If he is pulling in over 35k he is doing better than the average UK worker- on minimum wage and 70 hour weeks he must be! In the next breath he will lambast anyone claiming benefits whilst also bemoaning not being given anything…other than free healthcare, parks, libraries, education etc

Surely hes making bank though? I know a roofer and a builder driving new Range Rovers, they grew up on a council estate as am a neighbour.ive a degree and earn less 😂 If making good money doing 70 hour weeks thats a choice, if not making good money (which i think is unlikely)might also be a choice?

12hr days 7days a week as self employed is possible. If youre not making money working that hard might br doing something wrong. If you are making good money and moaning about the hours,thats definitely a personal choice. BUT its absolutely rock all to do with migrants, immigration, the RNLI etc.
