Did MPs have to strike to get their 2k pay rise. No the were just given it. Now they are saying we shouldn’t strike and we shouldn’t ask for pay rises. It’s an absolute joke.

Worried about a socialist PM? Let me put your mind at rest. The NHS is socialism, schools are socialism, the fire service is socialism, the police is socialism, libraries are socialism. Britain is a socialist country that cares for its population. Let’s make Britain better #JC4PM.

Dear @ChukaUmunna in a BBC article you refer to Corbyn supporters as ‘dogs’. Your friend @joanryanEnfield refers to them as ‘trots’ and ‘Stalinists’. This is utterly disrespectful. @UKLabour voters are not a mob we are from all walks of life. Reflect on your own behaviour please.

I do worry that my local Tory MP has got behind with her work during the Covid pandemic. I propose that she extends her working day by 30 minutes. She should also do “Summer Work” rather than enjoying her summer holidays. Sound fair school kids?.

So @JohnnyMercerUK thinks is unacceptable for students to register to vote because they might vote against him. I’m surprised this hasn’t been picked up in the press @BBCNews @BBCBreakfast @Channel4News @skwawkbox.
Imagine my surprise when look for CCTV footage of who has ripped off and damaged my sign on Tavistock Road on private land, when I discovered it was Plymouth City Council themselves. Unacceptable. Like mass-registering students to vote. Elections are pretty tough down here.

He wants to negotiate a soft Brexit commensurate with the narrow victory that the leave campaign achieved in the EU referendum. He then wants to put the decision to proceed, or not, back to the people of Britain. It’s called democracy, why is this hard for you to understand?.

@finchleyflyer Do you mean the peaceful anti-war demonstrations against evident war crimes and the killing of 35,000 civilians? Do you think demos should stop? . If you do that’s a pretty anti-British values sentiment there’s a huge difference between mob rule and a peaceful protest.

High earners are paying too much tax because their wages are too high. Low earners are reliant on benefits because their wages are too low. Andrew Pierce knows this and is just being a divisive dick who likes to blame the poor.
More than half population get more in benefits than they pay in tax. The pandemic created a ‘something for nothing entitlement’ society.
