Very same for the UK too, but it’s more wholesale waste combined with fraud here

This is absolutely ridiculous. I am at a loss as to why this sh1tshow government think this is fair or needed. They are hell bent on ruining landlords and enslaving others to a breakable cycle of benefits.
Ofgem is consulting on a proposal to make landlords legally responsible for tenants that that fail to pay their electric bill. 🤯 landlordtoday.co.uk/breaking…?

Apparently the planning application was pretty woeful regardless of the inability to mitigate risk
An asylum camp next to the Oxfordshire village of Piddington will pose a risk to women and girls living nearby, the Government has admitted. In a planning document, officials admitted that the proposed security measures at the camp, a former military garrison that will house up to 1,250 male asylum seekers, “cannot eliminate all risk” to the villagers. 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/11…

Unbelievably, Iran (yes, Iran) has just been elected to the UN Committee that sets the priorities for women’s rights, counter-terrorism and peacekeeping. This, the country with an almost uniquely violent record of brutalising women, executing peaceful female protesters and of course sponsoring very widespread terrorism. Equally unbelievably, the UK nominated Iran and although the voting is secret, we must assume it subsequently voted for Iran in the General Assembly. This is the same UK that is nominally run by PM Andy Burnham who declared only a few weeks ago that “we will always stand with the underdog and take what action we can to support them.” If the young women of Iran who dare to remove their headscarves, or sing, or engage in peaceful protest to press for basic democracy aren’t the underdog in their battle with a vicious and murderous regime… who then is an underdog?  I can’t exaggerate how ashamed I am of my country. I’m sickened and repulsed by what it has become. I barely recognise it. Burnham should hang his head in utter shame. And as for the UN, it has come to embody institutional corruption and gaslighting on a global scale.  It put China, Qatar and Cuba in charge of the body charged with protecting human rights worldwide. It put China, Cuba, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan (all of which crush/ban NGOs in their own countries) in charge of the body that decides which civil-society groups and NGOs get UN accreditation and access.  It put Syria (under Assad) in charge the body that promotes education, culture, and press freedom. How long must this continue? The UN has no credibility whatsoever and should be stripped back to the basics- a debating chamber for the big global issues of the day. And nothing more.  How can anyone defend this?

To show willing to the public, why doesn’t the government stop the huge subsidies on food & beverages enjoyed by MPs & Lords at the dining rooms and restaurants inside the Palace of Westminster ? We are all in this together at the end of the day …

I have absolutely no idea why my timeline is completely ignoring the suspension of Labour MP Perran Moon today. He was just caught trying to dissolve his private company without paying back a £50,000 taxpayer-funded Covid loan. Right as this government prepares to hammer ordinary families with tax hikes in the Budget. Here is what they desperately hope stays quiet!🧵

The average UK household is now spending nearly £2,800 more a year just on basic bills compared to five years ago. At this rate, "turning the heating on" will soon be classified as a mid-life crisis luxury expenditure alongside buying a Porsche.

I would love to see a change to the order of parade at the Cenotaph. Once the King and Royal Family have laid their wreaths, I’d like to see the politicians wait until every single veteran’s association has laid their wreath. Politicians should stand & wait in gratitude. Remind these grifters of their place in the scheme of things.

Absolute understatement. There maybe equality in policing, but there certainly isn’t equity. You cannot have one without the other, and invariably women still lose out.
“More than 70 per cent of police officers who are mothers have told PFEW they have had to change roles to keep their home life afloat" polfed.org/news/latest-news/…

The only thing in this country that hasn't gone up in value is the quality of the people running it.
