First cost-of-living payments start to arrive in accounts – BBC News

  1. The point being of course, that it is an abject failure of government that such payments should be needed at all, not that it’s a wonderful thing people are receiving them. Not that you’d hear that from the BBC, with their picture of a smiling man for whom everything is fine now!

  2. What a fuck up by the government, they’re giving low income houses not enough. You can’t just keep throwing money at the issue. Raise corporate tax on these energy firms who are making billions. This is just a small dent in an already large problem.

  3. * Tories:
    * Benefits scroungers are dragging Britain down. Get a job!
    * Also Tories:
    * Here, have other people’s money. How wonderful we are!
    * Oh, you’re an oil company? Sure, have some handouts, you glorious cherub!
    * Where do I submit me expenses claim for hundreds of thousands?

  4. “Though they broke my legs, they gave me a crutch to walk.”

    Chumbawamba, “Today’s Sermon”, *Never Mind the Ballots*.

  5. *We’ve put a plaster on your hacked off leg, kissed it better and look, the tattooed pleb ruffian in the BBC news picture is smiling! How great we are! Don’t forget to vote for us again in 2024 if you survive the winter!*

  6. Big handouts start today. Alas, Npower will not benefit but Paddy Power certainly will.
    All scratchcard sellers, vape shops, tattoo parlours and paddling pool retailers are on red alert to increase stock levels.
    It’s gonna be a bumper weekend! Forget heat or eat, it’s cool in the pool!

  7. Feels like students got fucked again. All of the people I know who don’t live in dorms are struggling but again we get no help.
