I read reports about Axel Rudakubana, being kept alive at our expense for decades, and I think one thing. Death penalty. When the guilt is so undeniable, and the monster so irredeemable, he should be put to death. Him, and others like him. Zero moral objections from me.

Axel Rudakubana is reportedly living in prison hell and is confined to a single cell, with nothing more than a mattress and bed, because he has faced "so many threats from other inmates" who are โshowing no mercyโ. โAll the inmates hate him.โ A much welcomed good news story. ๐

The bricklayer exposing working-class fury at Britainโs benefits bill. A viral video lamenting the UKโs welfare spending captured the widespread anger of workers towards shirkers โ and towards Labourโs Budget. Among the many videos doing the rounds on social media after this

I've forgotten how strange this social media platform is. Share an opinion and then the worlds oddballs come at you. Whatever you put there's always a turnip who comes at you like you've walked into their house on Christmas day and pissed on their dinner. ๐๐๐

What Reeves should announce today, but obviously wonโt. Everything costs more. Food, rent, mortgages, insurance, childcare, energy, basic goods, services, the weekly shop, a pint. Britain is getting poorer, faster. People feel it, and theyโre right. Inflation has eaten us

If you and your other half are looking forward to getting up early tomorrow morning to go to work to pay even MORE tax to fund even MORE welfare spending, you may be interested to know... There are 440,000 low income families who will now be eligible for an extra ยฃ3,500 a year

Am sure you will be pleased to learn that families of six or more will be ยฃ14,000 a year better off by the time Reeves sit down. Thereโs 18,000 such families. Why have so many kids when you know you canโt afford them? Because you know every so often an idiot ( always Labour)

A single parent with three kids currently gets ยฃ20,978 in benefits. Without the two-child cap, it would jump to ยฃ24,491 well above what a full-time minimum wage worker takes home - ยฃ21,807 (@thetimes). Why work at all if benefits pay more?
