The new government – good accomplishments and bad?

Spoken like how those in the labour traitorous party think. It’s not about you or people with the wealth you claim on here you have. It’s about the people on £13,000 a year and a bit more. The threshold is too low.

No. It’s spoken as a realist who understands that you cannot make 2+2=5.

Determining thresholds will always produce disagreements but when the most vulnerable are protected and it’s known that benefits go unclaimed it seems the solutions already exist and need to be the focus rather than just doing an Oliver Twist.

Not quite. Again you’re sounding like Starmer thinks. MP’s are paid as representatives, as you keep saying, to represent all of their constituents.

That’s the point though. It’s not their job to promote one view point via a platform given to them by a broadcaster. It’s their job to represent all who live in their constituency, whatever their views.

Until the last election my MP was a Tory, who I met several times and was helping me sort out an issue with the DHSC. She was accessible, compassionate and did her best with a recalcitrant civil service. She lost her seat to Labour before it was concluded.

So next week I will meet the new MP for the first time. The file has been passed on. That’s how it should be.

I wonder how the people of Clacton will be served by their new MP?

The BMA et al go barmy as soon as a Tory government utter the reform word. But as you’ve exposed yourself as anything but a Tory we know you’d never realise or admit that if you knew it was the case.

I heard exactly that point being made yesterday with the conclusion that the BMA are going to have to face up to reality. Reform will need to take them with it, even if it involves some kicking and screaming in the process.

A united political front with an agreed national plan is the over-riding priority. It’s just too big and important to be subjected to politics. Which is obviously a big ask.

The difficulty with filling the forms have been explained.

I think you’re confusing yourself. I said exactly that they should represent all of their constituents. It’s you who’s carrying on like they shouldn’t.

Well Nige is buying a house in Clacton as he promised to do in his election campaign .
He has also spoken in parliament with regard still born children mentioning a Charity in Clacton at their request and it wouldn't be Farage if he hadn't spoken about illegal immigration a couple of times which effects all of us not to mention grilling Starmer over the theft of old peoples fuel payments
He also holds regular surgeries in the local spoons 👍 Not a bad start .
 
This t0sser seems to think that all pensioners deserve to lose the WFA and should get used to having less money. Easy for him to say. He’s still wearing clothes, a haircut, moustache and glasses from about 1985. He looks like either a nonce or a junior at the English FA. Oh, I’ve just seen that he’s 24. 24, and he looks like that!

What an absolute wanker. I was born in 1956 worked for 44 years and have never spent more than a couple of hours in hospital ( A&E) , yep I really have got my moneys worth. Are you sure this wasn’t Harry Enfield?
On a side not I love Darren Grimes

No confusion. This is about front line broadcast presentation not being compatible with the job of an MP. It seems that as you agree what the job is then by extension you must also agree that they ought not be presenting.

With everything else he does he is very unlikely to be an effective constituency MP. So this feels like window dressing to me. Making political points about immigration and opportunistic barbs about fuel payments in the HoC is much more his style.

He's representing his constituents by raising their concerns. He clearly can do no right by you.

And that help to do so is available.

That some don’t have ready access to that help is another failure of social care.

More expense then, just like if they did all apply for it, there’d be no saving of £1.4 billion to save the economy from crashing and a run on the pound the now grown ups running the country say will happen.

Just raise the threshold or build it into the tax calculations and end this sh1t. Maybe they think building something into the budget will save their reputations, but I doubt it. Big rumour is they’re going to end free bus passes. It’s more than a bus pass to the elderly. It’s a lifeline to shop, socialise, actually meet and talk to people and keep their sanity. This government are truly wicked. I expect in a matter of weeks I won’t be able to say that when the new social media laws come in, only a child rapist will be set free to make way for me to be terrorised by whichever gang in prison.

Well we’ll find out, won’t we? I’m sure we’ll hear of anything with the beta male ledbydonkeys gang on the case.

‘Making political points about immigration and opportunistic barbs about fuel payments?’ What, things that matter, but you decide should be forbidden?

Uefa warns England could be banned from Euro 2028 over regulator concerns

Uefa warns ministers that England could be excluded from Euro 2028 over "concerns" that an independent football regulator could mean "government interference".

So 2TK could screw this up as well 😂

I’m in two minds over the regulation of the premier league. But the problem is, it’s pulling the drawbridge up stopping other clubs doing what Chelsea and Man City have done. My bigger issue with it all is owners like Newcastle Utd and the others like Roman Abramovich coming in without ‘a fit and proper’ test done at all.
