There is a danger that by arguing the amount, we end up conceding the framing. Britain's welfare is ungenerous, the spend in total is mid-to-low table, and below past peaks. Benefits need reforming because they're unfit for purpose and trap, instead of enabling people. Not to make fantasy savings.

The same people who have been telling us "we can't stop climate change, instead we must adapt" have been hammering our capacity to adapt, through their promotion of austerity. What they're really saying is "keep burning fossil fuels for the sake of our donors". www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
www.sciencedirect.comBillionaires hate Socialism because in Socialism there are no billionaires.
BladeoftheSunBillionaires always cry about how Socialism is going to steal all THEIR money to spend it on Healthcare, Schools, Wages, Pensions and Benefits. And it will even stop them stealing YOUR money.
And 25% of voters would put these ridiculous moneyed fools in charge of the govt and treasury, would they? How many investigations into Reform’s dodgy finances are there now? I’ve lost count. And no, it’s not an ‘establishment’ plot. It’s just what happens when corruption/incompetence meets scrutiny
Paul BrandBREAKING: Parliamentary standards commissioner is now investigating Reform UK’s Deputy Leader Richard Tice (as well as its paused investigation into Nigel Farage). Tice is being investigated for allegedly failing to declare a financial interest.
Typical Fail bullshit. What it means is that Rothermere and his pals want you to have fewer rights and less money, so that they can hoard more wealth
Very obliging of #r4today to lead with Reform’s ‘plan’ to stop the boats using the Royal Navy, pretending it’ll be some great WWII-style escapade, rather than a hateful, costly, diplomatically incontinent mess. A total waste of everyone’s time as they’ll never be in power and it’s unworkable anyway.
Just in case my friends who aren't from the UK don't understand what a wankspangling muppet Nigel Farage has made of himself, this is his only real opposition he's facing in the Clacton by-election. VOTE FOR THE BIN, NOT THE RUBBISH! youtu.be/umfn6tqgUno?...
