I know things are really difficult at the moment but please be careful with your tablets @Catherine21. Please don't take more than your doctor has prescribed, it can be really dangerous to take too many and we all care about you 💜

I can't sleep without them. I just lay there all night long with the worse case going around and around in my head.

Looks like Rachel has actually managed to get people on our side by what she’s done. I’ve not seen a single piece praising her, only objecting to it and apparently back benchers aren’t happy anyway after winter fuel allowance.

My brother was saying that starmer is in coherts with Blackrock, I saw an picture of him and reeves at a meeting with them. Haven't a clue about them. My brother more knowledgeable than me

that’s a rumor that’s been going around for a while now - I don’t know if it’s true or not but black rock don’t have a good rap
I restate: I don’t know is starmer is naively taking bad advice from his aides or deserves an Oscar for concealing a corrupt nature for so long - neither sounds like the correct theory - I honestly can’t a read on the guy (though insiders have described him as ‘ruthless’ and he must have a very strategic mind to become the level of barrister he did)
This story is starting to spread but if any truth it is unbelievable stupid - just add commercials and a monthly £5 online streaming only option is the clear answer to the govs predicament (and surely the likes of Netflix & Disney+ would sue if that happened as many can’t afford streaming and tv licence so they would lose business as a result) - labour don’t seem to want any voters

I can only afford the £5 subscription with adverts so if this happens I’ll just cancel the lot. What the hell is wrong with this government

I can't afford Netflix at all. I pay for Amazon Prime and stream from that and YouTube. I suppose that both will be taxed.
There are more paywalls for online news, albeit nothing to do with government.
is the aim to cut us off from our sociopolitical cultureas well as a little joy?
At least I cancelled my Labour Party subs before the GE when Labour's response to the PIP Green Paper gave an inkling as to their way forward.

I'm trying not to panic as Kimmy 87 keeps telling us things like Welfare changes take years to change and very unlikely so I've decided to listen to her instead

My brother said starmer is ruthless he is a puppet to other organisations. It's obviously he doesn't care about the uk. He was shown that he said he perfered davos to parliament.
Starmer doesn't care about us, I hope he goes although there isn't much choice on the front bench.

I'm sorry but their actions have been terrible, the pensioners, farmers giving rises to the train drivers who earn a packet as it is. Sending money to farmers abroad . Trying to get us back in the eu where other countries economy is failing. Should get deals with America

Ye gods after the Tory nightmare of chopping and changing PM, the country needs some stability in it's PM.
I may not particularly like him or agree with decisions made, but I do feel strongly about needing stability!

i don't want corbyn in either when he stood (2019 i think) he wanted to disarm all our nukes get rid of our army we would be defenceless to russia least if russia attacked us now he would wipe us off the face of the planet but we would send russia back to the stone age

They will take 3 billion off of the sick and disabled and hand it straight to Ukraine... No cuts for them! After the war in Ukraine is over starmer will continue to hand them billions to rebuild whist the sick and disabled have more and more cuts.

Catherine as you've been advised many times, welfare benefits are enshrined in law, the process to make any changes is a very long one.
No matter how many times you ask the answer remains the same 🙂
