Behind the scenes it's a different story. In my district at least. OTs and homeless units working 7 days a week and from home. Obviously not gonna be the same in tory or similar strongholds.

'Nigel Farage is killing Britain - time to deport him'
We need to deport just one person, says Fleet Street Fox. The descendant of migrants who lives on the taxpayer dime, refuses to integrate, and divides us all

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.
Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first 

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

someone has actually tweeting that everyone on benefits is a scrounger
course you are if you are dying and can't work any more and have no savings from low wages
perhaps they should get a life - before its too late!

peterberesford.bsky.social
for gods sake when are some people going to realise that many many people on benefits are in paid employment.
we have so many on benefits so that we all can subsidise big business to pay low wages

lets all get it.
please share
