Name a single benefit of leaving that wasn’t completely wiped out by its downsides. Just one
Not an essay, not a hundred bullet points, just one
You won’t. Because you can’t

Absolutely concur, and have heard this before about Horizon development processes
I’ve worked on a system responsible for just a few hundred micro transactions a day and that was carpet bombed with acceptance, unit, integration tests
Fujitsu should be held criminally negligent

This is so kind of you 🤗
I’d already cut down on avocado on toast and didn’t know what to do next
The granny annex attached to my nan’s 2 bed mouldy council house will be especially useful, and I’ll switch to drinking ALDI prosecco forthwith
@LuckyHeronSay
Yep. Because I unfortunately have to place my wellbeing in the hands of the NHS from time to time and I’d prefer that the doctor treating me wasn’t underpaid, overworked, knackered, depressed and on the verge of a nervous breakdown

I think you’ll find in this case, and many, many others, that he’s actually slagging off those that have shirked, avoided and neglected their responsibilities

The rich are the problem, not the benefit claimants
You are THE problem
Farage is THE problem

“Spinfluencer” lectures people earning significantly less than her, doing a significantly harder job than her, being responsible for the lives of hundreds of of people, on their need for pay restraint
@furbabygirl
Population size has barely any bearing on services. Immigrants have jobs and pay tax. In fact, the average immigrant pays more tax and uses the NHS less than the average UK born citizen
The problem is entirely down to what is being done with the tax income. It’s being grifted

Many of the Express and Daily Mail writers would be on the dole if Meghan and Harry took their subtle hints and actually disappeared into obscurity

Barely anyone who is disabled, unable to work, or lives at the mercy of others, actually wants to be in that situation. Given the choice they want a strong body, a clear mind and a decent job
The *myth* there are millions of idle wasters is *exactly* that
@JolyonMaugham
The amount of naked wealth transfer the senior Tories have performed or enabled is staggering, along with outrageous division from the Tories to protect that transfer
While many Tories are complicit, it’s accelerated logarithmically since Sunak came to prominence

You support and receive donations from fossil fuel interests
You believe climate change is a scam
You think we should be guzzling gas, coal, petrol and diesel
You do not have dibs on the environment. You’re a hypocrite
@TerryBushell3
Our current PM was born in the UK, he’s British
Scotland’s first minister was born in the UK, he’s British
Wales leader has been nationalised, and is now British
Londons mayor was born in London, he’s British
Irelands PM was born in Ireland, he’s Irish
What’s your point?
@Eyeswideopen69
Without Harry and Meghan, most of the Daily Heils and The Express’ journalists would be out of a job
Someone on X did an analysis, I think the Express was publishing negative articles online at the rate of 40,000 a year at one point
@Danwhite1972
I think it��s wrong to even call them benefits. That in itself smacks of gifting, in receipt of something over and above what a “benefits” claimant even deserves
Maybe that’s why cuts appeal so much to the harsh of caring. They aren’t cutting a lifeline, they’re cutting a freebie
@paullewismoney
I wouldn’t say no to an extra £62 but I’m still not going to vote for them
I’d rather they just stop pissing about with amateurish sleight of hand that no one falls for, and close the tax loopholes for bazillionaires instead
@davesumnersmith
No. Make it 5x-25x, escalating with the value of the property, with the monies ring fenced for homelessness / poverty relief, administered 100% transparently by an independent body so that the money won’t all go to a supposed “social housing builder” with links to MPs
@Taff25022320
I drive in Wales (as a tourist) regularly. This just isn’t an issue. Seriously
In rush hour it makes zero difference
When it’s clear, it only adds seconds per mile covered - for just 2-3 miles
If they aren’t coming to Wales, great, I won’t have to share a road with them 👍
@SimonScarrow
1, they’d have committed to austerity anyway, it was ideologically driven
2. If the country was in better shape than thought, this makes the downfall even more heinous

@kazza62blue
Pursuing an agenda of extorting and prosecuting innocent parties even after the defects in Horizon came to light is absolutely unconscionable
There must be a prosecutable element of criminal intent / negligence to her decisions, and if so, the CPS have to pursue this
@RussInCheshire
It’s posts like these that make me think I should quit Xitter, I either feel so mentally ill I want to drink until I pass out, or enraged I’m in danger of having a stroke before my next birthday

If you’re pro democracy (as per your profile), why are you so eager to leave
#ECHR
, the final check that prevents our government (of any stripe) from imposing draconian restrictions on democracy at whim?
@garygilligan
Just “doctor”, as the step up is consultant? (I don’t know, don’t shoot me)
“Junior” seems to be a label to apply to someone in order to suppress their wages
After years of training, debt, experience, and saving a few lives, calling a doctor “junior” seems pretty insulting

@KEdge23
That isn’t a benefit. That was an action taken to which there are consequences
Virtually every single consequence has been negative, and where there might be benefits, they’ve benefited the high millionaire / billionaire class, not the other a 99% of us
@BladeoftheS
Every contract awarded to Infosys or other firms linked to his family or other MPs (inc Labour) should be annulled, monies returned, and re-tendered transparently
For those firms previously awarded contracts there should be additional scrutiny if they re-tender

How the fuck are we supposed to narrow it down from twat, cunt, gobshite, fuckwit, bastard, wankstain, pissmark, shitshow, disappointment, bellend, arsehole, assclown, dickhead, scab, shitweasel, moron, gammon, smoothbrain, traitor, pondscum, dildo…. (Ok, I cheated. Sue me)

If he was on PAYE he’d have paid well over £1m between tax and NI, and his employer would’ve paid a massive chunk of NI contributions too
This country rewards the speculators and owners, not the workers
@janemick
He’s most responsible for the UC reforms, the aim of which was to dehumanise, humiliate, and punish vulnerable benefit claimants, many of whom died whilst being declared fit to work, had their benefit “sanctioned”, pushed poorer people deeper into poverty
#ToryScum
is TOO good
@SueSuezep
Definitely! AFTER they reopen 1000 sure start centres, sack off infosys, return £1.5T lost in the last 14 years, return the NHS to its former state, renationalise trains / water / energy, call off the culture wars, treat the sick and disabled with reverence, chase PPE fraud…
@Councillorsuzie
My constituency has one of the highest council taxes in the country
Council tax has gone up massively all over the country, not just London, and the primary reason is the severe cuts imposed by central government, ie. The Tories
@Eyeswideopen69
Very rich man who:
* Refined the humiliation of benefit claimants into a sport
* Who made punishing the poor into a fetish
* Who thinks anyone claiming benefits is workshy
* Whose personal project oversaw deaths of sick people deemed fit to work
Hates being called

And worse than that, he doesn’t even know just how many kids he has!
He’s (almost) everything the Daily Mail hates - feckless father leaving behind a trail of single mums, scrounging off the state, can’t hold a job down - why do they laud him?

Daily Septic accusing others of cherry picking 🤡
Now, who am I going to trust - the Daily Septic, a website set up purely to grift money by republishing RW lies? Or, erm… NASA?

Tories can create TWO ministerial roles to deal with a few 10s of 1000s of immigrants
Can’t keep ONE minister to represent 14 million disabled, seriously ill, vulnerable people

They should be part of the public record
Even small businesses can be fined for inaccurate record keeping, ergo, politicians should be prosecuted if they fail to keep, and produce when requested, accurate records of decisions taken that affect the course of an entire nation

@BorisJohnson
Challenge: state one Brexit benefit that can’t be easily and simply refuted
Just one. No caveats. No gotchas. Just state a single one that doesn’t have massive drawbacks or negative consequences
Just one. I dare you
@BladeoftheS
Gammons claim there are no dental appts available because of immigrants
The £1.6b cost of Bibby Stockholm would cover several million dental exams, scales, and filings
@JolyonMaugham
Why can’t they be prosecuted for fraud?
Bills have two components: supply of fresh water, safe disposal of waste water. They clearly aren’t bothering with the latter
If I paid a scrapper to take my wreck away I’d expect them to be prosecuted if they just abandoned it in road
@BlokeOnWheels
Just projection isn’t it. Those who skive thinks everyone else is a skiver
Those who grift think everyone else is a grifter
Those who who spend their money on cocaine and prostitutes think everyone else must be doing the same
Tory 101
@KEdge23
Yeah, you’re right. We should vote for nice, polite, cultured gentlemen like JRM who will use kind words whilst selling your soul to Satan, rather than those rude, loud, passionately aggressive lefties, who are that way because they’re fighting against hatred and inequality
@davesumnersmith
@Conservatives
No, because there’s no such thing as a pinky promise, never mind a cast iron guarantee from a Tory
If Gove can state on the record, that the actual law can be broken by a Tory gov in specific ways, then what hope of keeping any election pledge, especially one as huge as this?
@WillettMartin
@KEdge23
We had our own currency when we were in the EU and under no obligation at any point in the future to adopt the Euro
Leaving the EU has severely damaged imports, exports, holidays, the NHS, crop picking, food and environmental standards….
Next benefit please

After a concerted misinformation campaign suspected to have been funded by Russian money, after which the likes of Rees-Mogg, Dyson and many other multi millionaire and billionaires were better off. And strangely, the rest of us were significantly worse off

JRM is an arch hypocrite
He hates the poor

One day you, me and (almost) everyone else will be a pensioner - and we have one of the meanest pensions in the developed world
The triple lock is about the only thing the Tories ever got right, and even then it was purely to buy votes, but because it was the right thing to do

Incredibly, there has been a party in power for 14 years that has done nothing about this. Encouraged it, even. I wonder who they could be John? Do you you know them?

@i_iratus
My take: I have to drive into central London weekly (M1), and across Wales several times a year avoiding motorways
London: a little appreciable difference in journey times over last 14 years
Wales: no real difference in journey times since “blanket” 20mph limit was introduced
@BladeoftheS
In all seriousness? No we’re not. We are definitely a 1st world country
BUT we’re sinking fast on every metric that can be measured. And sinking even faster in things that have no metric, such as reputation, good standing, respect, fairness, tolerance, and propriety

The gig economy conforms to HMRC standards and have been found by the courts to do do, despite pressure from gig economy groups to recognise workers rights (which would also entail them paying tax)
Your “scoop” has exposed something which has been common knowledge for a decade
@AndrewRTDavies
1) It isn’t blanket. You’re regurgitating Tory lies
2) I drove x country from Mansfield to Tenby and back last week, without using motorways. /Dozens/ of 20mph stretches. It used to take me about 5.5 hours. This time however, it took me about 5.5 hours
There is /no/ issue here

The percentage of Tory MPs in parliament that are sex offenders is higher than the percentage of immigrants that are sex offenders
The logic is outrageously simple. Sex offences would decrease if all Tories were deported and replaced with immigrants in Parliament

ABSOLUTELY WRONG. Lefties DO love this country. I certainly do
Lefties love this country DESPITE its faults and want to improve it, to improve the lot of others
Righties love this country BECAUSE of its faults, revel in them and use them to excuse further abhorrent behaviour

Pensioners (more likely to vote Tory) can use library cards as voter ID but students (more likely to vote Labour) cannot
This was supposedly to combat voter fraud - one of the rarest crimes in the UK. 9 cases in 4 years
