How about £10,000 to every person on all benefits. It would never happen but it would be very welcome.

I disagree, that people on £40,000 a year need help. I'm afraid they'll have to suck it up.

No way would I give them any money so they can still go on the winter holidays, or restaurant trips.

not likely to be that nice


Some think it could cause a change of Government
if the Conservatives fail.

Think about all the money the government has wasted in just the last three years. Track and Trace, over 22billion I think. All the money lost on wasted medical equipment - burned deemed no good. Billions there. Then we have fraud which cost another £20billion.

Then my idea doesn't seem so 'crazy'.

Crazy thing is … everyone wanted Boris out and manufactured a way to oust him ( basically a couple of butties at an afternoon gathering in his own back garden) … yet he’s probably the only person who could have sorted this energy mess out … like he did with the vaccines , T & T and the furlough system


He’d have thrown billions at the issue and we would not all be in such a worried state

The thing that bothered me was that the so-called Chancellor equated people on as low as £3,500 per year benefits in the same position as someone on £40,000 a year. That someone like that also needs help. No way. Nobody on that much needs any help. Target it to the people on benefits and the actual low paid.

its all about fuel costs as a percentage of your available income and that can badly affect anyone. 40k a year in a large house with a large mortgage and a large family will very quickly feel the effects of price rises

that woman is clueless, really. MP's have to pay for staff and at least 2 sets of property home and away. It's the problem when you give thick people a loud voice

You think it’s thick for someone to have a problem with the people telling us to tighten our belts to survive the energy crisis they’ve helped create, are able to claim their energy bills on the taxpayer covered expenses? I think that’s a perfectly reasonable thing to be upset over

£40k really isn't that much. Especially for a sole breadwinner with a family and big house.

Try being a sole breadwinner with a family and a council house. He's on £10,000. Can't afford a big house.

I never said such a person didn't need help.

Or he may have asked questions she's avoided answering directly or questions she is perhaps too frightened to answer.
Another one preferring to avoid scrutiny, well avoiding most scrutiny.

She's totally useless.
Hopeless.
