It’s the world cup in a few days but doesn’t feel that way. Where are the dads with flags in the back windows of their Qashqais? Pubs with England bunting outside? Why is t It’s coming home, vindaloo or world in motion being played on the radio? What’s gone wrong?

They are buying your votes. This isn’t about giving struggling families help. This is about ‘making mornings easier for all families’. Do we really want the state doing everything for us? What about personal responsibility? How infantilising.

Question. With all the money manufacturers have invested in electric vehicles surely they could have invented a zero emission fuel quicker & kept a combustion engine similar to how we converted leaded to unleaded petrol?

Someone posted this on Facebook...so true! Tax his land, Tax his bed, Tax the table At which he's fed. Tax his work, Tax his pay, He works for peanuts Anyway! Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat. Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he Tries to think. Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find other ways To tax his ass. Tax all he has Then let him know That you won't be done Till he has no dough. When he screams and hollers; Then tax him some more, Tax him till He's good and sore. Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in Which he's laid. When he's gone, Do not relax, It's time to apply The inheritance tax. Accounts Receivable Tax Airline surcharge tax Airline Fuel Tax Airport Maintenance Tax Building Permit Tax Cigarette Tax Cooking Tax Corporate Income Tax Goods and Services Tax (GST) Death Tax Driving Permit Tax Environmental Tax (Fee) Excise Taxes Income Tax Fishing License Tax Food License Tax Petrol Tax (too much per litre) Gross Receipts Tax Health Tax Heating Tax Inheritance Tax Interest Tax Lighting Tax Liquor Tax Luxury Taxes Marriage License Tax Mortgage Tax Pension Tax Personal Income Tax Property Tax Poverty Tax Real Estate Tax Retail Sales Tax Service Charge Tax Telephone Tax Value Added Tax Vehicle License Registration Tax Vehicle Sales Tax Water Tax Tax (VAT) on Tax. And Now they want a blooming Carbon Tax! STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world... We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middle class,a huge manufacturing base, and Mum stayed home to raise the kids. What in the happened? Could it be the lying parasitic politicians wasting our money? Oh, and don't forget the relatively new bank charges.... And we all know what we think of Bankers. I hope this goes around the UK at least 1,000,000,000 times!!! YOU can help it get there!

Maggie has spent decades fighting for the little girls no one else cared about. I know I wouldn’t be the woman I am today if it weren’t for her love, support, and mentorship. Thank you. I love you. Now, let’s take the bastards to court. @MaggieOliverUK

MPs wage will increase to £98,599 Pa plus their pensions plus expenses. 650 UK MPs that’s a bill of £64,089,350 a year plus pensions plus expenses. Regardless of where you place that X on the voting slip I don’t think as tax payers we get value for money here. #mppayrise

“Labour would freeze your council tax” “Not a penny more on your council tax” “No ifs, no buts” With all the elections now going ahead, make sure to share this huge Labour lie before the local elections. You can’t believe anything Keir Starmer says. ⚠️ Never vote Labour ⚠️

One thing that I think we can all agree on regardless of your political viewpoint is that the state or current politics and the current MPs we see in parties is appalling

Is there any chance of coaching Jakub to actually come off his goal line for crosses. #lcfc

So after promising to clean up politics we now know that @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour @RachelReevesMP are exactly the same. Lies and U-turns no black hole lied about latest budget we all knew they would be no different no party will.

You think pay per mile is only for EV,s. Trust me it’s not within 5 years it will be treble the cost and apply to all vehicles under the banner of Net Zero, Save the planet @UKLabour @RachelReevesMP #Budget2026

If you’re a tax payer today & told you have broader shoulders & are expected to give a little more. So when you work 160 hrs next month and the gov take their £100s/or£1000’s of you in tax and split this between 5-10 people who haven’t worked remember it’s fairness #Budget2026
