If you’re a couple and you’re on incomes of £100k and £50k, you’re living well. You buy a nice house with a £600-700k mortgage. You have kids. Then you realise you don’t get childcare and the payments are more than the mother earns. So she stops working. So now you’re on one £100k income, with all the taxes and none of the benefits. You’re now on the same financial income as a couple on £25k and £25k. But you’ve got the outgoings of a couple on £150k. You’re underwater. You’re spending your savings. All the while the couple on £25k x 2 is screaming at you that you’re rich, while you pay for their benefits out of money you can’t afford. You decide the only way you can afford to have a family is to move somewhere like Dubai.

@mikealfred Non subs welcome? 👀 I’m saving..

This is absolutely outrageous! 🤯 Whatever you do today, please make sure you take the time to see just how f*cked the UK actually is... How can anyone be surprised with the state of our country whilst the benefits bill outgrows working people's salary? 16,566 people claiming Motability... including for drug misuse?! Let's be clear, if we do not get a government in who can fix this problem, we WILL become a third world country.

@joecarlsonshow Would appreciate a video on it soon 🫡

I was a very fortunate kid. My dad's GP surgery sat between the Dell and Hampshire's County Ground, so at weekends I could go to a game and get a lift home afterwards. It left me with a passion for both sports and a belief that sport opens a window onto who we are. When I was growing up, the Tebbit test was a matter of intense debate. Which side did you cheer for at the cricket? For all the criticism it received, it was a test anyone could pass. If you supported England because you saw it as home, you were part of the team regardless of the colour of your skin. Born in Southampton, 10 year old me passed it without even knowing about it. Giving the @MCCOfficial's Cowdrey Lecture on Thursday made me think about cricket's place in our national life and the current arguments about identity. In Britain we've built the world's most successful multi-faith, multi-ethnic democracy. I was a beneficiary of it. Whatever issues people had with me as PM (and there was no shortage) my race and religion weren't among them. I could read a lesson at the King's coronation or light Diwali diyas on Downing Street with my daughters without controversy. Foreign leaders assumed these must be huge symbolic moments. For most Brits, they just weren't that big a deal. But Britain's democratic achievement is now under strain. Some of the challenges are ones I've written about before, like Islamism, and the failure of governments, including the one I led, to adequately control immigration. But something else is going on - a risk that we start equating skin colour with nationality. After I left office, a debate kicked off here on @X about whether I was English at all, because I was a "brown Hindu". During the election campaign I'd been shocked when footage was broadcast of someone calling me a "Paki." It was shocking precisely because it was so unusual. That kind of abuse had simply not been a feature of my political life. But the Englishness argument was stranger still. Call it the reverse Tebbit test. If you're not white, it no longer matters who you support at the cricket, because you can never be English. It's a test no non-white person can ever pass. I have no truck with people who offend our sense of fairness and come here illegally; I spent half my premiership trying to deport them to Rwanda. I think the bar for legal migration should be high. It is entirely possible to want a radical reduction in immigration and a far more robust approach to integration, and still totally reject the attempt to turn Britishness into a DNA test. If you're born and brought up in England and view it as home, what are you other than English? Denying people their Englishness or their Britishness because of the colour of their skin is a recipe for alienation and a two-tier society. How are children who hear this meant to feel? Sport can play a small but significant role here. Cricket is played by nearly every major ethnic group in this country. Ask what my largely white rural constituents in the Dales and the British-Asian kids in Bradford have in common, and the answer is cricket. If cricket can produce England teams in which every kid can see themselves, the impact reaches far beyond the boundary. As I write in @thetimes today, we must all be on the same side, cheering for the same team. We cannot allow race to be reintroduced into our politics. We cannot allow Briton to be set against Briton.

This mf’er needs to go @hermenhulst

@mikealfred Yes please, though I’m a normie non-subscriber

Just to put the facts out there, Newcastle probably would have been relegated without Nick Woltemade’s goals last season.👍

How can ya hijack a fuckin hijack ya fucking daft cunt #safc

@NUFCMurph P.A.R.D.O jk 😂

I hate seeing Howe bashed on this platform. Did he run his course absolutely yes. Am I happy with the new direction so far yes ! However remember what Howe did for our club ffs. He should be talked about with pride and respect!

I'm fucking sick of reading commented loaded with anti-Howe comments. I love Jaissle and he has breathed new life into the club but Howe and Tindle pulled us from the brink of disaster and got us to this point. Time to put some respect on his name! #nufc
