Meanwhile, embracing the algorithm, here's what YT threw up for me.

If you know, you know 😎

You obv don’t live here! 😂

Hello again. How are you getting on with putting together the evidence that immigration and NHS data as presented by the government is all fake, as you claimed? Really looking forward to seeing it.

How much is the US national debt? Trump and his family possibly exempt from financial investigation, busy burning diplomatic bridges, still at war with Iran, no wall built by Mexico. Is that ripping ahead?

Don't forget the mistreatment and murder of innocent people by Trump's Gestapo.

Agree with you - our relationship with the US will endure beyond Trump.

At first, we were afraid;
We were petrified.

Shame that the 'pro Trump' thread is nearly full, they could do with some supporters.

I would have thought it would take a while to finally close. What with the slow typing and all.

A positive move by Burnham?

Andy Burnham has backed away from a multibillion-pound move to increase the personal income tax allowance, as he told his first cabinet meeting: “We’ve got to show fiscal discipline.” The new UK prime minister had explored the feasibility of declaring an end to the five-year freeze of the £12,570 personal allowance, which he said was “a growing issue” for voters. “There is not any commitment to do it,” said one ally of Burnham. “What he was saying is that people are feeling unheard.”

What inspired this latest user name?

Fond memories.

Have you been?

Bloody disruptors.

Should have had an eye test before flying

Yes, it’s just shocking. Poor woman. 😢

I do think that Burnham should face down his backbenchers and take an axe to disability benefits. It is plain for all to see that the system is being abused and is unaffordable.

Spend the savings on defence, finishing HS2 (properly - to Manchester and Leeds) and restoring some fiscal headroom. He should also remove the Personal Allowance taper a move that will almost certainly pay for itself as people work more once they are not being taxed at 60% +

If you have any facts beyond feelz about disability benefits abuse, please share, otherwise take your axe and find another thread.

Vibes, Duncin - we base policy on vibes now.

Does anybody have that pie chart that shows the teeny tiny amount of fraudulent benefit claims? I’d search for it but I cba. Maybe someone has it saved?

Oh is it vibes now, not feelz, soz It is difficult to keep up
