I know that because I attended talks hosted by IFG and Resolution Foundation. They despaired at low information commentators in the media and on socials who just spout the kind of stuff that you have

You didn’t provide evidence at all, merely hearsay and anecdotes. And did your “friends” lie about conditions to get money? If so, did you inform DWP?

Also, many teenagers claiming mental health benefits come from care, broken homes, teenage pregnancy, drug problems AND mental health repeated to it

Yes he could, but it seems broadcasters are slow to cover stuff that isn’t on the front page of right wing newspapers.

“1.4% is a lot” - are you suggesting the government cuts ALL spending on disability benefits or the ALL people claiming it are doing so fraudulently?

The group with the biggest increase since 2019 is those aged 15 to 19 - are they all middle class and subsiding freelance businesses?

OBR: total government spending in 2024/25 was £1,278.6bn, of which PIP cost £18bn, which is just 1.4%of spending. Still a lot, but not the biggest.

And can you please supply this evidence that proves people are using PIP to subsidise an affluent lifestyle.

Trump has bent the knee to Vladimir Putin and offered up Ukraine as a sacrifice, but The Times is too craven and cowardly to call him out for it. Rupert Miurdoch is living out his life on his knees.

Is this similar to that scene in Trainspotting?

An crap poll which literally asked people if they would prefer a good thing or a bad thing. Guess what they opted for!!!

Here’s the actual Q:

Which of the following would you rather the government do in the upcoming budget?
- Cut spending on public services
- Put up taxes on working people

Were they asked if they wanted fewer doctors, teachers, or police officers? Were they asked if they wanted prisoners released earlier and fewer taken to court? How about less spent on state pensions, social care for the elderly? I don’t think they were, were they.

BBC Question have plans to host him soon and they have lined up a bunch of questions about ….. immigration.

Katy Balls has morphed into a courtier cum scribe and it’s a colossal waste of talent.

It is. You’ve let yourself and the rest of us down.

The Times thinks the government shouldn’t try to fix rampant gouging because rampant gougers say they’ll try to evade it.

Russell Brand and Bill Cosby were quite funny too. Among other things.

One it will totally fall short of.

Sonia Sodha clearly hasn’t seen the Covid report or Bloomberg News about the mounting impact of Brexit. Maybe she was issued with Murdoch goggles when she rocked up at The Times.

Keir Starmer is a huge disappointment but him polling worse than Boris Johnson did just shows how low information the general public can be a this is also Johnson bsky.app/profile/bloo...

Followed shortly after the Scotland football happiness tbh. So a good week for sports joy, maybe we all need to filter out the rest of the stuff.

It was a real bonus we didn’t have to bat again for a couple of overs. That could be key.

Dear Grok, is Elon Musk a better bowler than Mitchell Starc and Jofra Archer?
