That well known campaigner on Climate Change - Margaret Thatcher
I’d like to mention Mrs Thatcher warning about man-made climate change being a threat as big as nuclear war, not because I’m a fan of Mrs Thatcher, I can’t stand her, but I think it’s important that people on the right understand that climate change is not a left-wing conspiracy even though the fossil fuel propaganda says exactly that

Yes, Joey. She’s a democratically elected British MP, a former council leader, and she’s wearing a hijab.
Which part of that do you find so difficult to accept?
Her politics are fair game.
Her religion and her clothes are not.
Are they going to do away with the earnings taper for Universal Credit: 'For every £1 you or your partner earn from work, your Universal Credit payment reduces by 55 pence.'

Kemi Badenoch, "It doesn't matter what you earn, we don't want you to be punished for working harder"
My view: There is a pretty big assumption buried in that sentence: that earning more necessarily means you are working harder.
It doesn’t.
A care worker doing exhausting 12-hour shifts, a cleaner starting at 5am, a nurse working nights or someone juggling two minimum-wage jobs can work extraordinarily hard and still earn a fraction of someone sitting behind a desk on six figures.
ONS earnings data shows enormous differences in pay between occupations; wages reflect things like skills, bargaining power, scarcity, sector, seniority and ownership of capital — not simply effort.
In social care, for example, around 1.5 million people perform essential and often physically and emotionally demanding work, yet low pay and insecure employment remain widespread.
There is nothing wrong with arguing that people should be able to progress and keep a reasonable share of what they earn.
But politicians should be very careful about equating income with effort.
Some of the hardest-working people in Britain are also among the lowest paid.

They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, and paid holiday and sick leave.
It would make them tens of billions a year.
But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

Farage: "We are not sovereign until we leave the ECHR."
The only European countries outside the ECHR are Russia and Belarus.
For the UK to quit the ECHR would be to hand a huge victory to Putin in his war against human rights and international law.
Farage continues his treasonous collaboration in Putin's war against democracy, freedom, and human rights. He is a traitor, and that is the biggest issue by far in today's British politics.
I remember working with the Indian Workers Association in Bedford in the late 1970s against the rise of racism and the National Front. Bedford was one of the most diverse towns in Britain at the time. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Amount a pensioner receives in the UK is the lowest in Europe, just 2/3rds of France and barely 50% of Italy who are considered a 'poorer' country.
Why is our pension 'unaffordable' when it is so low, and where is all our money actually going?
