Absolutely disgusted at Colum. And Paul Doherty. Punching down with wee jibes about not working when we know how failed working class communities are here & how being on benefits isn't necessarily a lifestyle choice. Reminds me of the old middle class SDLP I thought was gone.
@PaulDoherty___ is a legend

In the 1960s more than 40% of the money you spent went straight back to Government, everything spent on Water, Oil, Gas, Coal, Electricity, Social Housing, Telecoms, Steel, Ships... Now it's less than 5%, the rest all goes to billionaires Tax Havens That's why there is no money

I see the fireside lawyer calling the Palestinian flag a "terrorist" flag. The flag existed before Hamas for starters & Palestinians are the victims in all this. But then demented people like him also equate the Tricolour with the IRA even tho it's literally green white & orange.

House of Guinness is amazeballs. Couldn't love our own Anthony Boyle more if I tried. Another nordie Seamus O'Hara gets an honourable mention. Oh and the soundtrack is sick. On Netflix.

Even after the mansion tax is applied, the owner of a £5m home in Westminster will pay proportionately less in property tax than the owner of a £210k Band B property in Sunderland.

Absolutely gaslighting the electorate to say that this budget will ease the cost of living for the many or indeed fix the NHS. Either he's brainwashed or trying to brainwash us.
"Did [Rachel Reeves] mislead the public in the run up to the budget?" Darren Jones: "No I don't think she did, you might want to tell me why you think that"

These ājournalistsāā¦. ! ⦠have no idea of what constitutes a nightmare. 1.2 million unpaid carers live in poverty, and 400,000 live in deep poverty. Iām a carer, & no doubt they like me, couldnāt give a toss about middle-Englands mansion ānightmareā Pay up. Reality bites.

Access to a primary care in England is now so bad that banks are offering it as a perk. This is because of government policies. Not GPs. The NHS isn't universal healthcare anymore, it's a disgrace.

Santa Claus has been arrested under the Terrorism Act in Norwich after it turns out Santa oppo-ho-ho-ses genocide and supports Palestine Action. These four officers will be having their names checked twice this year. Lift The Ban on Palestine Action. https://t.co/xHyNnPtPT9

Rachel Reeves says on Laura Kuenssberg that she's asking working people to pay a little bit more. This was all under the cover of a made up "black hole" whilst refusing to tax the super rich. This Labour Government showing again exactly who they are and who they serve.

šØBREAKING -- Five UN special rapporteurs have condemned Britain's proscription of Palestine Action as unnecessary and authoritarian. "We are concerned at the seemingly unjustified use of counter-terrorism laws against protest activity in a democratic society", they write.

I doubt that ordinary people here will be shocked by this analysis, or even disagree with it. Waiting about for intervention from Westminster on any issues of importance isn't what we had in mind with the GFA. And the lack of prosperity that was promised doesn't help matters.
People need to take heed: āMichael Kerr, Professor of Conflict Studies at the Department of War Studies in Kingās College London, told MLAs that their parties are worse at governing than Stormontās very first power-sharing administration more than half a century ago.ā

Vote YES in this poll to counterbalance all the fools out there voting NO. Of course UBI is a realistic response to AI. It's the only rational response to AI for anyone who wants to avoid capitalism eating itself like an ouroborus. It also happens to achieve real freedom for all.

Using a device that still works is called "device hoarding" by the capitalists. These people are truly insane.

UK budget freeze on income tax thresholds Next 5 yrs: 780,000 more, the poorest, will pay income tax for the first time. Someone earning £50,000 will pay £9,512 in tax, an increase of £1,247. Can't grow economy by hitting low/middle income earners. https://t.co/IsDql5RiBw

The budget does little to improve living standards or facilitate sustained economic growth

@sappholives83 The [male] doctor investigating my intrauterine problems refused anaesthetic on the grounds "there are no nerve endings in there, none in the cervix, none in the womb". I passed out from pain. Doctors seem to be taught women's pain thresholds don't exist or don't matter.
