Gary Neville speaks for the majority on this. Taking £20 a week (£1k+ a year) off struggling workers and their families right now is ‘brutal’ and morally indefensible.

Are cash-rich Man City saying they cannot field a team due to Covid? Or have they used persuasion to postpone their match v high-flying, in-form Everton?

It was a wincing diatribe. The government (and some of its cheerleaders) has lost the plot over ‘the boats’ - which is proving a handy political distraction from the wider mess they are making of Britain.
@LeeAndersonMP_
Lee, you are gross. Really gross. You may not be toffee-nosed or educated, but like so many of today’s Tory politicians you are stuffed with privilege and poison.
Remember the grouse shooting? One rule for them, another for us. Well, No10 has just confirmed that - unlike passengers in taxis - anyone travelling by chauffeur-driven car will be legally exempt from wearing a mask. Why?

RIP my lovely mum, Jean Harvey, aged 89. Formidable, feisty, forthright, and fun. We lost her suddenly yesterday - she will stay with me forever. Here she is splashing around at Crosby beach, Liverpool, in 1955.
Arrogance is making Man City’s tarnished off-the-pitch reputation worse. The club appears consumed with a belief that it is untouchable, that it is bigger than UEFA, bigger than football itself.

Britain would be better off without the hooked-on-hate Daily Mail. It has lurched further into right-wing darkness under its new editor, propping up dishonest, corrupt Johnson.
@Arron_banks
Brexiteers love to employ this type of military language and military illusion, often rewriting history. They say the UK 'won the war' (WW2) and defeated the Nazis. Guess what? Americans, French, Russians, etc, think they did too. And they're right - it was an alliance. Think EU.

In fact, 13 years of funding cuts by Tory governments have made it easier for criminals, especially in towns and cities. Ask police, the CPS, courts, the probation service. Why are Tories so soft on crime?

You certainly tried to make a ‘tangible difference’ to Britain, and its tax revenues - to the tune of 4 or 5 million quid. You were caught out, thanks to journalists. You are the worst kind of politician. Self-serving.

I tend to agree with you, Jack. This accuses you of dishonesty and clearly has the potential to damage your reputation as someone who campaigns on food poverty. It’s a shocker by both Anderson (for his comments) and Reclaim for firstly publishing the libel then not deleting ASAP.
FACT: High achiever Keir Starmer did NOT go to a fee-paying private school. His schooldays were state funded. Shameless Tory boy Guido is gargling sewage again.

Starmer doing his "son of a toolmaker" routine. Reminder; his dad owned the toolmaking firm, he went to a fee paying school, charged £2,000-an-hour as a barrister and he has £100,000 kitchen.

The RMT has a strong case for better pay/conditions - a case that would be strengthened further if the union admitted it was wrong to actively campaign for Brexit in 2016, and by doing so helping put workers’ rights in the hands of this Tory government.
