Brexiter Arlene Foster who now sits in the House of Lords wants to cut welfare support and spend the money on defence instead

Brexit costs the UK £90 billion in lost tax income every year,if we didn't have Foster's Brexit we could keep supporting those in need while also ramping up defence spending

A tax rise is a tax cut and being for the Iran War is being against the Iran War.
Welcome to the world of Nigel Farage - the charlatan's charlatan.

#bbc newsnight Arlene Foster doing her shrill best to shill for right wing - money must come from welfare bill to pay for defence. why?? How about making it come from the already wealthy??? Why do they always want to punish the working class?

Hereditary peers to be removed from Lords as bill passes https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxg76rgdp7o Posted by Kingalfred9

Reform UK really are so lucky.

For a party of eight MPs they have the UK’s biggest news broadcaster on retainer.

Here we see their political editor doing the job of a local newspaper reporter.

For Farage.

EIGHT MPs.

It will come into force at the end of the current Parliamentary session - expected to happen in May.

It could mean a significant shift in power in the Lord's, with 85+ peers being removed, with the largest group being Tories (45+) followed by Crossbenchers (30+).

3/3

In the end, a compromise was struck to offer some departing Tories & Crossbenchers life peerage. It does mean they get to continue in the Lords - but only for life/retirement.

The bill now goes for Royal Asset.

2/3

The remaining Hereditary Peers are now set to be removed from the House of Lords after the Tories dropped their opposition in the Lords to be Bill delivering on Labour's manifesto promise.

The bill has stuck on the Lord's for over 6 months with no action.

Your regular reminder when Liz Truss was chief secretary to the treasury- she wouldn’t pay for centricas repairs to gas storages so in 2017 they closed. Leaving us with..lowest gas storage in Europe. #tories the gift / grift that keeps on giving

Oh.

@sophyridge.bsky.social please school the shrill Tory lady that welfare spending actually means helping the populace and not the 1% . The welfare bill is schools/ nhs/ vulnerable people not financial backers the tories made their policies for, never hear anyone correcting them about what welfare is!

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the first group of Ukrainian military experts will depart for the Middle East on Monday, to share experience gained during four years of war with Russia.

So much “winning.” 🙄

Graham: You see this hat? Free Cuba. Stay tuned. The liberation of Cuba is upon us. We’re marching through the world. Iran is going down and Cuba is next.

I can't believe we have to rely on Mick Lynch to say the blooming obvious

Penny it was you and your Conservative government you cut defence spending and in Ben Wallace's words "hollowed out" the UK military, so be quiet #bbclaurak

Today is International Women's Day.

I'm sure it's just a massive coincidence that they used all the same words, ideas and punctuation.

That’s the BBC Robbie Gibb non bias for you!

The King is supposed to be visiting the USA *next month*. This is the definition of a diplomatic nightmare. In all seriousness, I would urge him to pull a sickie.

Like maybe 🤔 “where are the Safe and legal routes? Disassembled by Tories/ Retories?”
