Good to see the UK record a January budget surplus, with borrowing falling and inflation continuing to ease. Sound public finances matter because they create the space to invest in priorities like schools, policing and the NHS. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c93w…

Wow!.. This hit me hard... My dad is 73, & let's just say I'll answer every call/text from now on.....😢

Britain when I was in my 30s was THE best country to live in the world. London was THE best city. I cannot tell you what a special place it was. Everyone, all over the world, wanted to live in Britain. I look now at the cards our country has dealt young British men and women? It’s a proper miserable deal, isn’t it? Student loans, for example. It is a suffocating graduate debt. NINE percent, over a very low threshold. That’s just brutal. Any real chance of saving, gone. NINE grand a year to even go to university. We break their backs before they even start working. Restore Britain would scrap interest on student loans altogether - funded by removing eligibility to foreign nationals who in the many, many thousands abscond and fail to pay a penny back. Wider tax, even more pain. Just remember, workers, when you’re walking to the office in the pissing rain that your efforts are funding some Somalian family to sit on benefits doing sod all. You work, so others don’t have to. We would ban foreigners from benefits altogether, and we could get the healthy British shirking class off their backsides and out picking litter and cleaning graffiti. Painful, yes. Necessary, absolutely. We need to brutally cut tax, and brutally slash down the size of the state. Do those two things in tandem, and just watch how the clouds lift for men and women who are putting in the hours and getting nowhere. Let’s say a young couple manage to scratch together 20k for a deposit after paying 2k a month in rent. What do they get? A pokey little flat in Lewisham? They don’t even own it, due to ludicrous leasehold rules? Spending an hour commuting each way, on filthy, packed trains? Not exactly the American dream is it? The system STINKS. Possibly one positive development thanks to technology - working from home. Farage wants it to end, and attacks the idea of ‘work-life’ balance. Restore Britain’s position is clear on private sector employees working from home - WE DO NOT CARE. And actually, a positive work-life balance is a good thing. People care, people are happy, they work better. Anyone who has actually run a proper business would understand that. People my age say oh well the youngsters don’t work hard enough, they don’t save, they spend too much. Possibly for some. False for an overwhelming majority. It is an objective fact that buying a home when I was younger was SO much easier than now. Cutting down on flat whites will not solve the entire problem, CLEARLY. Look at childcare. Maybe they want to start a family. Good for them. Oh wait, they examine the costs of childcare. Thousands a month. When the damn thing is only open six hours a day. Vast waiting list to even get in? It just doesn't work. Nothing works. Restore Britain would give vast tax breaks to working parents to ensure that a parent can stay with the child if they choose, or make childcare more affordable. Reward families with meaningful relief. Raise thresholds, widen VAT exemptions for essential child-related items, and expand tax-deductible childcare costs. We would front-load child benefit - pay more of the money in the earlier years, when the help is really required. Only British nationals would be eligible to receive that. Stamp duty, gone for British nationals. An insidious tax that further punishes ambition and success. We will support young men and women who want to get on, build a family and find their way in the world. I want these people to have the same opportunity that my generation had. That's all. The vast majority want a Government that will enable them to succeed, and then leave them the hell alone. They now have a political party that will do exactly that. Restore Britain.

Not even the top story on the BBC. Yet had this been a deficit, it would’ve been wall to wall coverage. UK government records £30billion surplus, in January, the best since 1993. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c93w…

Shame that your village seems to be missing theirs.

Every Ramadan, Muslims fast for 30 days straight. No food or water at all. Proof of our commitment to Allah and religion. Jews and Christians should take notes.

Thought this kind of chanting would have fitted nicely with your bio and Timeline? Strange that.

Honestly, how many times have you watched this now?

Germany 🇩🇪 Young Muslims scream at police: “We hate Germany,” and call to burn the country down. How has this happened to Europe?

Glorious! 😂😂😂

Men be honest, is this enough

The highest budget surplus in any month since records began in 1993, & more than double last January's £15.4bn monthly surplus. bbc.com/news/articles/c93w4e…

I am totally okay with this!! You?

Tackling the cost of living is my government’s number one priority. National Living Wage and the Pension Triple lock increased from April. Rail fares frozen. Extending free school meals, 5p fuel duty and capping bus fares at £3. Change does not happen overnight, but change is happening.

Will we be allowed some `Islam-free zones' where we can take our dogs ?

Been in London 23 years. I am a Londoner. A few months ago at Paddington Station, a bunch of fascists waved the English flag in my face… as if it wasn’t my flag too.🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Imagine thinking a piece of fabric makes you more British than someone who’s actually lived here longer than your teeth have had time to rot. It’s my flag, love. I just use it for tea, skirts and not being a Nazi. But let’s talk taxes. I pay for this city. I pay for the streets you march on I pay for the bins you piss on I pay for the police you make pose with your slogans I pay to clean up the racist graffiti you leave behind. And yet I’m treated like immigrant? I was born here. I’m from from here. You eat Indian street food like it’s roast dinner, then complain about immigrants. You’re the punchline, not the patriot. You come into my city to scream about “outsiders” while you’re the one dragging swastikas down the high street like it’s a personality. You want to talk about British values? Here’s one: Don’t shit where you eat. And don’t come into my home, scream in my face, then expect me to fund your little fascist field trip. London doesn’t want you. We drink oat milk lattes and read banned books here. Piss off.
