I think we all agree that poorer pensioners should be included in any govt campaign to encourage Pension Credit sign up but can we also agree that 13 million pensioners aren't all going to freeze this winter by losing the WFA. 13m UK pensioners don't all live on state pension.

This confected anger from Tory MPs in the Winter Fuel Allowance debate is amazing. The Tories, who refused to provide free lunches for kids, who put in place the family tax credit cuts, who imposed the damaging Welfare Reforms of 2015. Sorry, your anger convinces no one.

Imogen I remember when the Tories stopped Child Tax Credit to all but the very poorest families? The same people who are seemingly apoplectic now, were remarkably silent then.

Water companies operate a Water Sure scheme for the most vulnerable which reduces water bills significantly. Gas and electricity companies need to be compelled to do the same.

The irony of this turd talking about political choices. The man who imposed austerity on the UK. Every time you try to use a public service that doesn't function, remember this man is accountable.

In a very real sense, ‘Starmergeddon,’ the cuts now being announced and the vast tax rises to come in the Budget are the inevitable consequence of the Mail’s championing of Brexit, Johnson and Truss. How else did the paper’s great strategists think it was going to end?

Ah, the old anecdote. Edwina came to my university to speak back in ancient times and was challenged by a student about pensioners dying in cold homes. Her response then? "We've all got to go sometime, dear."

Sunak appears to think 13k is insufficient for pensioners to live on, so the question must be: why didn’t his govt raise it to a suitable level during their 14years in govt ? #PMQs

That Trump is credibly competing for the same office as Harris shows how women and people of colour have to be ten, fifty (or here) a thousand times better than their male white counterparts. Use this election as a case study when anyone dismisses the entrenchment of privilege

The misogyny on twitter is absolutely appalling. It truly is breath taking. Half of them don't even know they are doing it. And the other half, well they are beyond reach of decent people.

Lord Darzi: “In the last 15 years, the NHS was hit by three shocks - austerity and starvation of investment, confusion caused by top-down reorganisation, and then the pandemic which came with resilience at an all-time low. Two out of three of those shocks were choices made in

BBC Breakfast Wes Streeting MP within your reforms of and work with the NHS will you look at the quality of the service provided by specific hospitals on an individual basis? Headlines are great but there is lack in provision of the basics like proactive pain relief and open communication.

I hope #NHS political discourse is not now entering the place Social Care has been for 20 years or more. Diagnosis made. Prescription known. Ignore. Repeat.
