Nearly half of people who apply for PIP are in work and use the funds to enable themselves to stay in work. Cutting PIP will add to the welfare budget as those people will no longer be able to stay in the work force.

Marina speaking sense. Consistently.

Here’s an idea… Why don’t we try facts first, frothing later? Let the Fairford investigation finish before anyone decides what it means …and for goodness sake, don’t believe a word from Trump and his lot. Me on @jeremyvineon5 this morning…

They were ordered to pay costs...!!! So, they fought the case where for the 2nd time a window fell out of their building, they thought it was not worth admitting to. The family had to FIGHT to get this. Welcome to the UK where you have to fight to get what is due to you.

Count Binface on the Clacton by-election on US TV, "If Nigel Farage strikes me down electorally I will become more powerful than he can possibly imagine" "Because the parliamentary committee will look into his £5 million unconditional gift" "But he didn't declare it"

Socialism!

At our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials. In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.

So $2 mil for ship (split with Oman) is the tax now. 20 ships per day so Iran will get $140 mil per week in perpetuity when they were getting zero 6 weeks ago. Oh and their oil was sanctioned 6 weeks ago and now it is not. And they keep their enriched uranium. No wonder he bankrupted casinos.

Complaining about & blaming Keir Starmer for a long-scheduled, still uncertain, six month distant increase in fuel prices literally *hours* after calling for more war in the Middle East is quite the flex. These are not serious people.

Farage talks about the Second World War quite a lot for someone who would inevitably have spent it interned on the Isle of Man.

Don’t the anti-immigration lot ever get tired of all the energy they spend on it? Every society has blamed immigration for everything, throughout history. And we’ll probably keep doing it forever. Just an endless, unimaginative cycle of getting fired up and spun off into the walls.

This is absolutely hilarious from #PMQs today. Ayoub Khan MP says rubbish is "building right beneath my very nose" as he looks down at the Reform MPs sitting below him "It's becoming a serious problem in Birmingham"
