was saying but it’s always same song - NHS is under funded. It is not! It’s badly managed and run.
Watching
@BorisJohnson
telling us all to be vigilant!!!!!! Is he joking????? There’s thousands of unknown males piling onto our beaches every day and Boris tells US to be vigilant. Unbelievable!!!!!
My husband’s State Pension is £147 per week. Mine is £84 - because I only paid the married woman’s stamp! That’s after both working for nearly 60 years!! If you ask me do I mind immigrants being paid more than us, the answer is hell yes ! I bloody well do.

ITV's Ranvir Singh attacked on Twitter for defending Alastair Stewart via

well done Ranvir! A journalist with the courage of their convictions. How refreshing.
I see
@BBCNews
can send a correspondent to Sudan to report on all its problems but apparently still cannot afford a return weekend ticket on Eurostar to France to report on brutality to protesters. How bizarre is this continuing boycott?
Pathetic drivel. Poverty is NOT going to Scarborough for summer holiday! Poverty is living in 2 rooms, sleeping 4 in a bed with coats for blankets,no heating & ice on inside of windows in morning, one meal a day & hiding from rent man! That will sound familiar to many on here!
Winston Churchill's grandson fights back tears during emotional farewell to Commons as he quits as MP after 37 years zero sympathy. He thumbed his nose to democracy, defied his Party & now his gravy train has come to a shuddering halt.
I never thought it would happen as I was a huge fan but I’ve blocked Julia Hartley Brewer. She really is just as bad as the rest - baying for blood 🩸. It’s sickening.
I just can’t watch or listen to

@Keir_Starmer
has to say. What a shocking state of affairs for people of UK.
£216 - energy bill. £164 Council tax. Just 2 of the payments gone from our bank account today. We have some savings but as pensioners on a fixed income am not sure how long we will be able to manage. Perhaps arriving on a beach by dinghy is the answer.
@Conservatives
@trussliz
You madam are the worst type of hypocrite. Your prejudice against vulnerable girls raped by grooming gangs is well documented. Boris’ comments pale into insignificance against your remarks.
Yesterday, I asked the Minister for Women whether she would distance herself from Boris Johnson’s disgraceful comments. Whilst the Minister denied having knowledge of such comments, Boris Johnson horrendously continued to justify his comments & fan the flames of prejudice!
Can anybody explain why
@englandcricket
are wearing
#BLM
badges when test match starts? Are they all quite happy to promote anti Semitism? Defunding of our police? And anarchy? It’s an appalling decision.
The BBC is a DISGRACE for choosing a foul-mouthed Britain-hating fanatic to represent the UK at Eurovision, says Darren Grimes at least karma came calling - this vile woman came second from last. Why does anyone still support British Bashing Corporation?
It’s reported over 800 migrants arrived in UK from 1000 attempting, so far today. Many seen to wander off down lanes & roads managing to dodge border force. This is beyond farce
@BorisJohnson
@pritipatel
. Who are these migrants? What are their intentions? Are they friend or foe?
Am sick of media - tonight it was
@GBNEWS
, having a pop at pensioners & how some are very well heeled. The great majority are NOT. We don’t even get the minimum wage.
What nonsense!! We’ve had our warm jumpers on & even had to resort to putting heating on. There’s been a cold wind for much of the month - it’s one of chilliest May I can remember in my 70 years. We’re being brainwashed!!!!
'We're at the sixth warmest May on record.'
Met Office Senior Operations Meteorologist Craig Snell says that the UK is 'running quite warm for May', as it will remain warm for Monday bank holiday.
Really disappointed
@GBNEWS
is taking such a negative, anti pensioner stance on social care. How much have we all paid into the system during 50+ years of working? There were not family benefits available to us either back in the 60s & 70s. Be good to hear some support for OAPs!
What is wrong with our broadcast media? Adam Boulton on

moaning away about how badly news about Boris has been handled by govt as if media are entitled to know every last detail. And then Beth “look at me I’m important” Rigby with her faux solemn voice. I detest them all

I remember when Labour MPs had dignity & and high standards of behaviour. Long before your time of course - but I was always proud to vote for them. I wouldn’t dream of it today - your Party is beyond redemption since you abandoned working classes.
A vote for Nigel Farage's lot would put Starmer in No 10, warns Sunak via

to be honest am past caring. I just want to see back of Sunak. I certainly won’t be voting Tory whilst he’s in charge - nor for Starmer.

@BBC
deserve it??? Have you any idea how strong the anti Beeb feeling is? It’s gone from pride of the nation to a seedy, biased, crackpot outfit. Not fit for purpose.
Here we go: 'Boris Johnson attacks BBC for 'conditioning' public with Brexit 'gloom'' (Telegraph headline). Expect a lot more Beeb-bashing from now on - it's easy and more or less cost-free nowadays.
So police sent out far & wide to snoop for family gatherings of 6+ people. A son is admonished for comforting his mum at a father’s funeral. Yet here we have a huge illegal gathering & it’s all fine???
@BorisJohnson
this is why people are pi$$ed off - it’s two tier law & order

How can low paid & pensioners possibly cope with these constant increases with cost of living? All in name of net zero nonsense!!!
Sorry
@Nigel_Farage
@GBNEWS
you’re jumping on a bandwagon here. There’s far more things that voters are concerned about than a party a year ago. The alternative is Labour and that’s too dreadful to even contemplate. Am not a huge fan of BJ but this is a witch-hunt
So you’re happy to throw actual women, under the bus just so you can virtue signal? Sorry but women’s rights were too hard earned to give away! Shame on you
So Sir Davey after proclaiming that his LibDems will now listen to the voice of the people, in his faux apologetic sincere voice, now declares that his 10 strong team will fight a no deal Brexit as hard as they can. I can’t decide whether it’s pathetic or hilarious.

Michael Gove to appoint new anti-Muslim hatred adviser ahead of new extremism definition next week wtf is happening to our country? If you’re young enough get out now - UK is done.
For all those who think Wes Streeting is the answer to Labour’s leadership vacuum I hope you heard his despicable & snide comment about Suella Braverman being “far right” in the Commons today. Nasty piece of work.
#NeverLabour
You couldn’t be more wrong! We trust neither politicians nor the BBC. But at least with politicians we have the power to vote them out. The BBC & its vile licence tax is like Marley’s chains in Scrooge - we have no choice!!
“It’s always worth remembering that I think in the end people trust the BBC more than they trust politicians who try to diminish it,” says David Dimbleby, but he concedes there are “major problems” and challenges that need to be dealt with
#Newsnight
Have Labour female MPs made a pact to have mass hysterics? You’re guilty of inflaming situation with your ridiculous, overwrought accusations. Johnson has put up with so much more despicable language & insults from you ‘ladies’ who can dish it out but cry foul when he retaliates
The language Boris Johnson uses is designed deliberately to escalate tension, division & hatred. Goes to the heart of the kind of person that he just responded “humbug” to
@paulasherriff
from neighbouring constituency to Jo Cox warning him about the death threats MPs now get
Whatever your thoughts of
@Nigel_Farage
, action taken against him & some of his family by banks is exceedingly sinister. Closing accounts for no other reason other than a political viewpoint is not acceptable. It could happen to any of us - it must be protested! Loud & clear!!

- the Rochdale girls represent just a few of the hundreds & thousands of young vulnerable girls groomed by predominantly Pakistani men.
@GBNEWS
Her original tweet was appalling. Not sure if she meant this as an apology or an insult to hardworking UK families who are afraid of what these unknown young men bring to their communities .
@Keir_Starmer
this is unacceptable from a member of your party.
Not so vocal when it comes to the thousands of grooming gangs in her own constituency though. We’re all supposed to keep quiet about that for “the sake of diversity”. She really does have some nerve!!

@Peston
What?! Impressed that money, power & unaccountability has triumphed over democracy? When you’ve finished worshipping at the feet of Miller et al, go & speak to some of the UK citizens whose vote has just been trashed. I have nothing but contempt for these three.
Really disappointed with

@Variety
Anne Boleyn - 2nd wife of Henry V111 - both were white. If a white woman was cast to play Rosa Parks there would quite rightly be outrage. Similarly with this casting - it’s not acceptable. This constant taunting & twisting of white culture must be challenged
Adil Shahzad Imam of the Al-Hikam Institute has made a direct threat to non Muslims
He demands Britons should respect Islam or it "will not be responsible for the actions of some individuals”
Why is this pig not arrested ?
He & his vicious cult threaten us at their peril
Failed PM Gordon Brown pontificates about about cost of living crisis & urges action from government!! 🤣🤣You really couldn’t make this nonsense up!! Has he had a giant memory lapse of his disastrous tenure as PM? Not a clue then - nor now!

Gary Lineker moans he is the BBC’s ‘whipping boy’ as he confirms he is in negotiations to cut his £1.75m salary – The Sun I don’t care how much he earns. I do care though that he is an arrogant, rude, sneering, self absorbed, self righteous tw*t!

Aren’t Labour complicit though by refusing to support the government and it’s immigration and borders bill? People can’t just tip up on our beaches, no documentation or ID. Does the safety of UK citizens not bother you?

@BorisJohnson
You’re losing more voters than you’re gaining with your latest crush on all that’s green. We all want our lives back first and the less affluent of us want reassurance that we will still be able to heat, eat & get from A to B without resorting to horse & cart by 2030.
Just having a scroll through Twitter & am genuinely shocked at how many teachers, NHS workers, academics & public sector workers are so very left wing & nastily so. I always thought it was just hearsay but it’s real. Politics overtly affecting their jobs is just appalling.
Apparently Sky News mewling on about Soames being kicked out of Tories - Churchill’s grandson & all that. What has he ever done but live off his grandfathers name? He’s an enemy of the people & his grandpa would probably be disgusted with him

How do elderly on a fixed income & living in an old bungalow find the finances to insulate to required standard? How many OAPs has Sunak panicked now ??!!

Anybody else read

article in Telegraph & Facebook? Can’t pretend am not disappointed - some very good points made but ultimately I fear he has appeased those who would never vote for him & lost many of those who have. Hope I’m wrong.

You’ve had 3 years & failed. This interminable posturing by Remainers in Parliament is a disgrace & denies democracy to the majority of voters. How you dare challenge our democratic rights is breathtakingly arrogant.
Quietly and peacefully I have gone back to sit in my usual spot in the House of Commons. No shouting or scuffles - just a quiet statement about our democracy. Boris Johnson’s prorogation of Parliament is unlawful. MPs should be here debating the national crisis.
