Watch as Will Kensington expresses concern about the state of the UK, arguing that Downing Street is no longer a place of power but has instead become Britain’s most expensive Airbnb.
This comes as Andy Burnham is set to become the UK’s seventh Prime Minister in a decade, with seemingly no one challenging the “King of the North” for the country’s top job.

I think we need to get our taxpayer's money back from Tory donors, bent Tory MPs and their mates. And if they don't have it then we should take their houses, shares, watches, jewellery, cars and put them in prison for good measure!

Someone needs to explain tack and trance to this guy on the show casje he clearly knows nothing about dwp, UC or a thing called "track and traceć which told all new UC claimants that they will have to provide documentation of who they are and what savings etc they have in the bank.
If they have under £16,000 it'll be OK but if you lied then sorry that's your fault for saying NO to your work coach when the question was asked.
@sprinter1boy

Cockup? It's not a Cockup, your asked when you setup UC over the pandemic that they will NOT ask for proof who you are but will ask for cocinents to be provided at a later date due to the pandemic.
That has since stopped, it will show millions of people who have committed fraud which sits at 6billion in lost money payed across benefits over the pandemic.
Durng the pandemic it was called "track and trance" no proof needed but you will be asked to provide the correct documentation at a later date ie passport, birth certificate, bank statements proving you don't have over £16,000 in your bank the day you made your claim etc etc.

I think DWP employees are also bamboozled by the multiplicity of alien cultures who often use this situation to operate scams. I suspect the level of fraud is astronomical and probably unknown.

DWP employs the stupidest people in the UK. As a result, claimants have to suffer. Almost every department has been reshuffled but the DWP remained the same. Get rid of Therese and Mims

For the last 2 years I've been and still .am full time carer for my disabled wife and I have rogressive bladder cancer..thanks to McMillan cancer support they've sorted my benefits out .before this I'd worked all my life & never claimed a,penny..dwp just sent me a bill for £1200 they say i've been overpaid which is nonsense … in fact for 18 months they havnt paid me £163 per month universal credit carers element ..you do the math what they actually owe me.

Whenever you have to use the DWP. Just politely bully them with your IQ.
It shouldn't be to hard. They all look thick as mince.

If proper wages where paid workers wouldn't need universal credit. The whole system is a scam.

They have been at this for years so have HMRC. A decade ago a friend of mine claimed tax credits for a short while. He queried the amount numerous times only to be told it was correct. At the end of the year they sent him a bill for 10 grand. Their behaviour is a disgrace.

It is definitely a scandal!
Universal credit are notorious for doing this. The level of incompetence from that department has no end.
How he brushes this off as a cock up when people that have to claim universal credit are straggling already and then are told by universal credit that any over payment has to be paid back in full… pronto!
The department of universal credit go to your employer and access your wages. You are expected to pay back the whole of the money in one hit!
They don’t even let u pay back the over payment in stages… THIS IS A SCANDAL!
@fubar.1
December 29, 2023 at 9:31 am
Let's see if DWP ask all politicians for there money back that they are not entitled to. They could look at Tony Blair, David Cameron, Gordon brown, Matt Hancock, that should bring in a few hundred million for starters.
