Didn't it turn into Oven Ready.

[soulboy]

Always a risk with ovens that things will turn out half-baked.

[The Weeping Angel]

He's officially joined Reform.

[Boiler]

Well, colour me surprised.

Genuinely, a Conservative Under New Title.

[Youngian]

The shape shifting local MP steps back in time to 1955 under the spell of a rancid slug monster.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Ha ha ha.

Just when Reform look like they might be fading. Kemi had no limits regarding racism for Jenrick. She has got very lucky here.

[kreuzberger]

What happens when "time for truth" Bob's new boss starts hissing at his wife?

Could be tricky. Especially if she wants half of the property portfolio.

[Youngian]

To be fair Jenrick endorsed predictions that the economy would turn to shit ten years ago.

[Dalem Lake]

Honest Bob Jenrick's found himself a new target to hate on: People on UC getting discounts for trips to the zoo

Cunt

[Tubby Isaacs]

Good Lord. We're worried about the poor getting into Westminster Abbey for too cheap now, are we? Great libertarianism too,

I'll forward that to my friend who gets UC who can't afford to do too much. And of course working people claim UC too.

Thanks, Bob, for bringing this to our attention.

[Andy McDandy]

Does he factor in the travel costs to London?

I'm about old enough to remember unemployed people being urged to use their time to better themselves, and not to spend all day in front of the TV. But no, seems like nowadays it's all about everyone kicking down.

[Tubby Isaacs]

If you're going to do this stuff, at least do stuff that's directly the responsibility of the Government. Actually, I shouldn't give him ideas, should I? It'll be teeth next.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Even if you lived in London, how many cultural trips do the poor (or indeed anyone else) actually do? My own reaction as a child would have been "can I just play with mates, and not go to another bloody Museum this week?" We wouldn't ever have received income-related benefits, but even if we had, it's hard to imagine my parents saying "no, you're coming, we're not missing out on a discount like that!" And £26 is still a decent amount of money to people who have not very much of it.

[Spoonman]

Today it's UC claimants. Tomorrow it'll be students, NHS workers & the disabled.

[Bones McCoy]

Perhaps these attractions want to encourage more visitors during working hours.

To borrow from Laffer curve Fanboys:

Better HMS Belfast gets all of £68 than none of £80.

But Honest Thin Bob won't allow it.

[Bones McCoy]

Today it's UC claimants. Tomorrow it'll be students, NHS workers & the disabled.

Forrins, pensioners, children.


Let's also remember that UC isn't just Jobless (Another Reform/Tory myth).

Universal Credit is a means-tested benefit for working-age people (under State Pension age) in the UK on a low income, out of work, or working part-time/self-employed.
Eligible claimants generally must be 18+ (sometimes 16-17), live in the UK, and have < £16,000 in savings.
