My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

Mainstream right wing media (Telegraph et al) continue to whip up fear about ‘pensioners’ facing paying tax/and a tax hike, and this was before suggestions of tax increases coming. Everyone (including pensioners) pays tax if they are above the lower tax threshold. Someone should tell the Telegraph.

UK Govt must change course.
Increase purchasing power of the bottom 50%.
Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%. WRONG
At the very least abolish VAT on domestic fuel, reduce std rate of VAT, lift personal allowance by £1,000.
Shift the cost to the rich.

Not all protestors are violent thugs but it’s not a good idea to associate Robinson and his ilk with public ‘disquiet’. The far right, some politicians, aided by much of the msm have inflamed the debate leading to violence.
