Were several stages beyond jokerfication at this point but I don’t really know what to do in response to this except howl like baboon
Steven Swinford @Steven_Swinford Exclusive from @MaxKendix Follow G... Rachel Reeves is expected to limit an energy bill bailout to people on benefits after warning that giving support to every household because of the Iran war would be irresponsible and unaffordable The Times has been told that the planned support will be directed instead at about six million people who claim benefits such as universal credit and pension credit While Reeves has asked about a potential "income threshold" to support lower-earning households, officials have said they are unlikely to be able to develop the system in time. Treasury sources emphasised that several options were being looked at but that no decisions had been taken Officials have identified several barriers, including the fact that HM Revenue & Customs records the income of individuals, while an energy bailout would have to focus on households. A project to link up the information started in January and was due to take more than a year Reeves will therefore have little choice but to give support to people claiming benefits, using the warm home discount, which reduces electricity bills for poorer households by E150, as the model for the scheme "The methods of targeting are imperfect," one government source said. But another said there was "a lot of defeatism" about what systems could realistically be introduced in time.

Well well well, seems old Keir is a lot more crafty than you thought. Im sure this will ease the concerns of the cabinet and reinforce his leadership
Max Kendix @MaxKendix Government source says Starmer told cabinet that he will only speak to them about results or leadership individually ... but then after the meeting "he refused to see cabinet ministers individually"

This is kind of beautiful in a way: a perfectly shameless, highly evolved, fabulously hostile and destructive organism. It’s like a firehose of xenomorph acid-blood blasting constantly at democracy itself. You have to admire its purity.
Poll of Labour members showing Angela Rayner is way more popular than most of her colleagues. Steven Swinford: Exclusive from @MaxKendix and @KateEMcCann Angela Rayner asked to go on a personal safari during an official trip to Ethiopia last month, The Times has been told Rayner visited Ethiopia in February on a diplomatic visit where she met leaders and witnessed the signing of an investment agreement. Two government sources said that while away, Rayner asked accompanying officials whether she could use the opportunity to go on a safari tour Civil servants were said to have told Rayner that the excursion would not be possible on an official trip. One source said: 'She was told that’s not how these things worked'

Max Kendix @MaxKendix EXC: More than 100 Labour MPs signed a letter sent to chief whip yesterday with concerns about welfare cuts, raising the prospect of a parliamentary defeat for the government unless it changes course 👇 6:53 PM · May 14, 2025 Max Kendix @MaxKendix Little overlap with 42 MPs in public letter last week - meaning total is as high as 140, out of 403. The government has a working majority of 165, so 83 would have to rebel to lose votes, expected in June. Ministers still bullish rebellion will be contained. 6:53 PM · May 14, 2025 Max Kendix @MaxKendix Group asking for concessions on health element of UC (cut from £97 to £50 pw for new claimants) + full assessment of impact on disabled before vote. Sources say movement is more likely on the latter and that concerns are being treated seriously - response already received 6:53 PM · May 14, 2025

And I mean, I’d ask you to think back to previous “scandals” and consider how many of them turned out to be drivel and bullshit, just vexatious office gossip or straight up lies that were credulously printed as fact in the paper of record.

I think if your approach to politics is this conspiratorial and this disconnected from reality, then you'll probably be very successful at fearmongering on X and completely ineffective at anything useful.

Sure, everything is a plot, they're planning everything, they're in the walls.
Screenshot of Twitter/X Post Tweet 1: [NAME BLOCKED OUT] Evil. Pure evil. It's clear now that Hillier was a deliberate pro-Starmer wrecker from the start who drew energy away from the push to oppose the Bill, then pulled her amendment at the last minute to cause chaos. Parliamentary games at the cost of disabled lives Quoted Post Max Kendix @MaxKendix Understand Meg Hillier will now be withdrawing her reasoned amendment to the welfare bill, which currently has 126 Labour MP backers The remaining rebels are choosing today whether to make their voices heard on a separate reasoned amendment, or revert to second reading itself Reply to Tweet 1: [SAME NAME BLOCKED OUT] Imagine smugly mucking about with parliamentary nonsense in an attempt to ram through an evil, murderous attack on vulnerable people - just so you can get some headlines and a pat on the head from the PM. These people have no soul. Pure evil scum.
