How the fuck is anyone earning minimum wage, or anywhere close to it, in the UK actually supposed to live on their own? The maths just doesn't work anymore. You can work full time, every week, and end up with roughly £1,700 a month after tax, National Insurance and pension contributions. Then take £800 for rent if you're lucky enough to find somewhere that cheap, £120 for council tax, around £350 for your other household bills, and another £80 a week just to put food in the fridge. And that's before you've paid for your phone, transport, clothes, toiletries or anything unexpected. By the time you've paid for the basics, there's practically nothing left. No meaningful savings. No emergency fund. No money to actually enjoy your life. And we're still told to be grateful because "minimum wage is going up." Going up to what? A wage that still leaves you broke after you've paid for the privilege of existing? Work full time, do everything you're told you're supposed to do, and somehow you're still one unexpected bill away from being fucked. At what point are we going to admit that something has gone seriously wrong?

It’s a rigged system, and we’re paying the price. Energy analyst Professor Nick Butler cuts through the spin. Britain is producing more electricity from cheaper wind and solar, yet consumers don’t see the benefit because electricity prices remain tied to the wholesale gas market. The result, he says, is windfall profits for renewable owners while households and businesses pay more. He calls it “corporate welfare”. Then there’s nuclear. Sizewell C is expected to cost tens of billions, with construction costs ultimately recovered from consumers through their bills. Cheap energy? Not on this model. Sizewell C ownership... * UK Government: 44.9% (largest shareholder) * La Caisse (CDPQ): 20% (Canadian pension fund) * Centrica: 15% (British energy firm) * EDF: 12.5% (French state-owned energy company) * Amber Infrastructure: 7.6% Parent Company: Part of Boyd Watterson Global Asset Management Group (US-based). Successive governments have created an energy system where the public funds the infrastructure, shoulders the risk and pays the inflated bill, while private interests collect the returns. MPs should be representing the public interest. Instead, Westminster keeps facilitating the transfer of public wealth into private hands. This is not a market; it is corporate welfare disguised as green progress. Until politicians uncouple electricity prices from gas and stop forcing the public to underwrite private risk, energy policy will remain a legalised shakedown of the working class. #EnergyPrices #NetZero

🚨 Absolute SCUMBAG: Lee Symonds, 42 from Skipton, just got 12 years for a vile road rage attack on a defenceless 80+ year old man. This coward tried to ram him off the road, beat him senseless like a punchbag, then slammed his car door into the old boy's face and body FIVE TIMES while he was on the ground. Victim ended up with 20 fractures and two life-saving brain ops. Thought he was going to die. All because the pensioner pulled out of a junction "too slowly." Pure evil. No remorse. Judge called the "apology" worthless. Good riddance. Lock these animals up and throw away the key. Share if you've had enough of this trash on our roads.

Six more weeks of campaigning to beat a bin, and get the seat back that he just voluntarily quit. This is tragic. 🤣🤣

This isn’t just about Clacton. This is about standards and rules. Clean politicians don’t resign after a few days of moderate press scrutiny into their finances. In fact, I’m not sure any other MPs have. He’s a corrupt piece of shit.

Desperate last throw of the distraction dice that has zero bearing on the ongoing investigations into his dodgy bungs.
If I lose, they win. If they win, you lose. If you lose, Britain will forever be broken and nothing will change. We will prevail. My message to the people of Clacton. 👇

That's quite something isn't it? @RoyalFamily get 2 new helicopters paid for by taxpayers while air ambulance services have to fundraise to buy theirs. There's something seriously wrong with this country. 🤨
