Also cars on the mobility scheme are not free. The cost is taken from the recipients mobility allowance, which if it is insufficient to cover the cost of the lease will require topping up by the individual.

Just arrived, 'Complicit - Britain's role in the destruction of Gaza' by Peter Oborne.

As Miriam Margolyes says on the rear side cover, "Gaza is being murdered, Britain is guilty. Here's the proof"

I have four chronic pain conditions, cognitive disabilities, past open heart surgery, strokes, AuDHD and often need a stick to get out of the house but even I don’t get a car, Helen!

How do they even get this information that’s spouted as truth?! And people believe this shit.

Helen Whately said on stage at Tory Conference that "millions" of people with anxiety and ADHD are getting benefits and a free mobility car.

Hands up anyone with ADHD or anxiety who got a free car?

No? No one? Didn't think so. #

Lying Tory bigot.

"Putin's communists" like that's...a thing. A capitalist authoritarian is a capitalist authoritarian. Unless it's in Russia. THEN it's just communism.

I'm glad Zack is terrifying the establishment. People are just angry enough to not buy in to Voldemort mock-ups on Newsnight.

PS it's "principles".

Not so long ago, Jenrick would have been sacked by now. His comments were racially selective and many will say racist, failed to mention other parts of white majority Britain and he further stigmatised ethnic communities. But in these times he’s still being talked about as a next leader.

TFW some twat questions your working class upbringing and you offer him out and he says "sorry mate, I'm only joking".

Guess what cunt, you can leave school at 16 and know how to hold a conversation; moreover we can intellectualise an argument while also being able to kick the fuck out of you.

You sometimes hear wonderful stories about second or third generation immigrants who were the first in their family to go to university or graduate from Oxford or whatever. Imagine how proud Kemi Badenoch's family must feel that she is the first person from their family to become a white supremacist

Robert Jenrick says questions from journalists are the reasons for terrorist attacks. If Diane Abbott ever said something that stupid she'd never be heard from again, but as a white racist male politican, Robert Jenrick will be able to move on quickly.

There are British citizens being held in a torture centre by Israel right now for breaking absolutely no laws and they have faced no judge or jury. Keir Starmer has said this is "a matter for Israel" - Keir Starmer puts Israel before the British people and should be hounded out of office for it.
