According to the scumbag Times owned by the scumbag Rupert Murdoch the UK needs to be 'weaned off the State Pension', which is actually more than paid for by NI contributions.
What the UK really needs to be weaned off is Rupert Murdoch.
Get this evil fucker and his disgusting rags out of the UK.

My husband has been employed since he arrived in the UK, paying UK taxes & NI, but until he got permanent residency he had to pay extra to use the NHS. New applicants will have to pay extra to use the NHS for 10 yrs despite paying UK tax & NI. How dare Starmer say they're damaging the UK.

Regressive National Insurance (NI).

I don't want to just dunk on Bryant, who is new in post, but successive UK Govts have been profoundly complacent about the stability of NI even after several summers of rioting. That the Secretary of State is only coming to NI now is jaw dropping.

So what's the deal with Northern Ireland and Trump's blanket tariffs?
1. Under the Windsor Framework, the Brexit deal for NI, Northern Ireland is part of the UK customs territory. Goods produced in NI are treated as UK goods. So, NI exports to the US should be treated like any other UK export.

The FWS ruling & the English government's meddling in Scottish law over trans folk being able to change birth cert, the pausing of trans healthcare in Wales and the UK SC ruling's incompatibility with NI law proves trans folk will eventually unite Ireland and lead to Scots/Welsh independence.
Months of work on FWS & the problem of making it fit with NI law alongside @sylviademars.me and @aoifemod.bsky.social is finally ready to see daylight. Short answer, it doesn't fit. Yes, the situation is so serious that it warranted the Mean Girls quote in the title.

NI has the worst waiting lists in the UK but all the Unionists care about is the genitals of children
So Jon Burrows first instruction to Mike Nesbitt was to ensure that anyone from NI was prevented from receiving puberty blockers. We knew from twitter that Burrows was gender critical, having it confirmed that he was directing the health minister regarding this treatment confirms it.
