We don't keep our own oil and gas, it gets sold on the open market. The only people who would benefit from increased drilling are the companies who sell it.

β Parliamentary staff have overwhelmingly rejected a pay offer that falls below the increase awarded to MPs, according to a @unitetheunion.bsky.social survey seen by @politicshome.bsky.social
91.5% rejected the offer, while only 4.6% said they would accept it
@zoecrowther.bsky.social reports
Wow, so #Labour promising to lower our bills might just turn out to mean sweet fuck all then!
They need to move further and faster on this... Maybe try decoupling the price of gas from electric, cut the standing charge rate... or, I dunno, actually renationalise all our utilities π€·π»ββοΈ

Constituent Input Request On Thursday I plan to speak in a debate in Parliament - "Future of Palliative Care". I know this is a topic which matters deeply to a vast amount of my constituents and I'm inviting you to email me with your thoughts and experiences so I can include them in my remarks. Drop me a line today if you can to mary.foy.mp@parliament.uk and I'll do my best to make sure the views of my constituents are represented.

Has anyone asked these kids if they're making money in other ways?
Loads of my sons friends make money from gaming competitions, they're 16!
Others could be going down the side hustle/influencer/Only Fans route, or something like it...
We need to re-classify what constitutes as work perhaps?! π€
That some people have more money than sense π€·π»ββοΈ

The 1985 Young Sherlock Holmes film was fantastic fun, some things don't need to be remade!

The NHS app has a helpful tool that you can use to contact your GP surgery, report symptoms and book appointments - allowing you to beat the 8am rush on the phone lines.

Well, this isn't exactly something to look forward to π«£
Let's hope #Labour decide to do much more to support households.

Once again proving that the welfare spend is NOT out of control!
And if you remove the pensions element (which shouldn't be counted as a benefit), our spend ain't bad!
Don't fall for the lying fucktards that would have you believe otherwise π

Ministers have promised to make work pay - but I've discovered hundreds of workers without employment rights on government contracts from the NHS to the courts. More tonight on File on 4 at 8pm & BBC Sounds now www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Sadly the new GP Contract provided just Β£1.50 per patient per year of additional funding
The Govt & Wes Streeting have raised your expectations
However they wonβt help patients get better care
We need more GPs & more funding
This is the new reality speak to GPs

Thereβs two things in life you canβt cheat whatever the internet says - death and taxes. Help me tackle those making money trying to tell you otherwise and landing people in trouble with the taxman as a result.
Tag your MP to ask them help our consumer regulation keep pace with βfinfluencersβ.
βCuts to Access to Work wonβt deliver the governmentβs aim to support disabled people into workβ
I wonder how many others have also had their support cut?
After #Labour trying to cut #PIP there were concerns that they'd push cuts through in a piecemeal fashion instead of in one go - is this it?
Gotta love it when Ed starts trolling people π
