Braverman and Farage would have this on the streets of Britain.

Really the Scottish health secretary should be given rigorous scrutiny over this matter and challenged by the media! There would be calls for their resignation! That’s what would happen in England! Particularly as Scotland spends more on health!

*looks at Scotlands NHS performance* sure jan

Or just, you know, any other benefit

You tend not to whip these sorts of things. Im going to guess a lot of Lib Dems rep seats with a high proportion of affected voters...

Yeah, a lot of them arent the usual suspects and should know better! This has been around for long enough now they should know how absurd it is

I know the arguement. I just think its rubbish!

I didnt! Not my area but might look it jp

I just... think over a decade is plenty of notice? And if you take earlt retirement and dont check when youre eligable for your pension when you retire early thats ln you?

I mean, other people have their benefits changed at the drop pf a hat!

Oh loads of people jumped on it

Yes, agree wirh this. And the enimity between them is growing

Good list of MPs who will jump on any bandwagon, no matter how unjustified.

Tbh i really struggle to pick it as a constituency. Really odd mix: i sort of know each bit from my time in Manchester but I really cant judge it at all

Like have been playing with the facebook ads thing and its impressive (tho, i would say, i wonder about how accurate its read on people is

Think thats likely

It won't undercut some of the Lab vote as well and help Reform?

I wouldnt go that far, frankly, but its the wrong decision

Genuinely its so anger inducing. MRA vaccines saved us - the closest thing to a miracle I have seen - and yet it ended up some how boosting the idiots

There has never been a reckoning for those who pushed the Wakefield myth. There should be.

And dont get me onto those who have driven the collapse of international aid which will kill millions. Urgh.

It was far from utopia but it showed things get better

This makes me so angry.

The eradication of diseases like measles and polio was one of the great achievements of the 20thC. They blighted millions of lives. Things got better.

And we've chosen to abandon that achievement through ignorance, bad faith and lies.

Nah, the gossip is the important bit, we all know that. Who wants to know boring things like the return of banished diseases? Its not like its the avoidable unpicking of one of our great 20thC achievements or anything

UK loses measles elimination status, warns WHO Vaccination rates in 2024-25 among five-year-olds who had received both MMR jabs hit the lowest level in 15 years.

Arguably more significant than defections, internal party politics and the Beckhams…

In 2024 there were around 3,600 suspected cases of measles.

We need to challenge the nonsense spread by anti vaxxers and ensure children are protected.

Its amusing that even the LLM is so closeto getting it

Keir Starmer celebrating Burns Night with a can of Irn Bru and assorted Tunnocks products.

I do not say this lightly when I tell you, as a proud Scot, that this is the funniest thing Keir Starmer has ever done.

I posted an anti-ICE video today and six hours after I posted it, it was sitting at 0 views. Statistically impossible.

Im genuinely amazed and impressed by how controlled theyve been against huge provocation. Vance and Miller have clearly been spoiling for violence and... theyve not given them it.

Very impressive indeed

A straight out lie from Danny Kruger MP at Reform's event today.

He said that asylum seekers go straight to the top of the council housing list.

In fact they are *banned by law* from accessing council housing.

new york magazine has a very nasty article out about my beautiful golden throne, which they say is the only thing keeping me alive. when I'm sitting on my big beautiful throne I am NOT ASLEEP!! I am directing the beacon of the astronomican, something sleepy joe did very badly may I add

Supporting the Miller/Vance position on this as a UK party leader is certainly a choice.
