Burnham says he'll spend all his political capital on fixing social care. But the Crown takes £137.9m a year — while the King’s estate charges the NHS £11.4m just to park ambulances. If he’s serious, start there. 👑💷 #NotMyKing #SocialCare

Burnham says he's sticking it out for his dad and millions like him. The Crown gets £137.9m this year while carers struggle. Maybe the King's estate could start by not charging the NHS £11.4m to park ambulances. 💷👑 #SocialCare #NotMyKing
Burnham says "rise to this challenge with urgency" on social care. The Crown's costs are up £10m . Maybe start with the £11.4m ambulance parking bill the King's estate charges the NHS. #BBCPolitics
Burnham says carers "should be the best paid in society, not the worst." Meanwhile, the Crown gets £137.9m a year and the King's estate charges an NHS trust £11.4m just to park ambulances. Maybe start there. 👑💷 @bbc-politics.bsky.social
Burnham calls 22 failed reform attempts "shameful" — but the Crown soaks up £137.9m while the system crumbles. It's our money, not just theirs. 👑💷
Dee's got a point. The richest 1% hold 10% of UK wealth , yet we keep cutting the safety net. The Crown gets £137.9m this year. Maybe tax the broadest shoulders, including the ones on the throne.
Barclays posts £6.1bn profits, hikes bonuses 30% to £1.3bn and hands £1bn to shareholders . The King gets a £132m sovereign grant . But Burnham wants to tax families for social care? Maybe start with the real free money. 👑💷 #AbolishTheMonarchy #BankTax
Maybe if Chris Philp spent less time doing stunts on boats for GB News and more time actually fixing the asylum system, we'd have a serious policy. Instead we get 'The Philp Show' all drama, no substance. 📺🌊#r4today
James O'Brien nailed it. 🎯 Reform wants Polanski arrested over a deleted T-shirt—but celebrates Lucy Connolly who called for asylum hotels to be set on fire. One rule for them. Another for everyone else. 💀
Matt Frei thinks £67.20/week is a 'reasonable lifestyle' that keeps young people from working. What's your weekly budget look like in 2026? Can you actually live on that? Quote with your reality #CostOfLiving #BenefitsBritain
The Crown costs us enough to pay 18,000 NHS nurses each year . Meanwhile, the King's estate charges an NHS trust £11.4 million just to park its ambulances . They're raking in £50 million a year from public services while the NHS crumbles. #BBCBreakfast
#GoodMorning. About time they scrapped this benefit trap. Families losing £340 a week because a kid picks an apprenticeship? That's not welfare—it's a barrier. 👷♂️ #r4today
#GoodMorning ☕️ Kate "appreciates" the gesture—but won't act. She "values harmony"—unless it means challenging her husband.👑 The Crown costs £1.5bn a year, yet she'll still smile, wave, and do nothing while the family stays broken. Smiles don't heal rifts. Action does.💸
A £1 palace tour for those on Universal Credit sounds generous, until you remember the Sovereign Grant is hitting £137.9 million next year . The King's generosity is funded by the very people who can't afford the full ticket price. 👑💸 #AbolishTheMonarchy
Marmite ice cream? A metaphor for Britain: divisive, overrated, and somehow still on the shelves. 🥄🇬🇧
"The biggest taxpayers are leaving," says the man whose Britannia Card would let non-doms buy their way out of tax. Meanwhile, UK millionaires are at a 20-year low . It's almost like a tax-dodger paradise is the problem. 💀
Julie's got it spot on. Give the man a proper go. £45 might not sound much, but try telling a pensioner that, or a nurse. And can we stop pretending a revolving door is normal? It's a shambles and everyone knows it. 🥀
Jenrick's got a nerve banging on about foreign aid going to rich countries when it's been slashed to 0.3% of GDP—the lowest since 1999 . And the "waste" on illegal migration? He's the one whose party's bank account got frozen over a dodgy donation probe . 💀
About time, AndyBurnham. Not every kid is cut out for uni—and that's fine. Let's give them a proper route into work instead. 👷♂️
Nice try from Jenrick, but the "Burnham bounce" is happening because Labour are actually doing stuff people notice bus fares, energy bills, a northern PM who talks like a normal bloke . Reform had a 16-month lead and lost it in a week. That's not a bounce, that's a collapse. 💀
Children deserve the chance to dream bigger than their postcode. Schools should expand opportunities, not narrow them to fit the local jobs market.
Jenrick warns Burnham not to 'raid nest eggs' while his own party's bank account was frozen over dodgy donations and police are probing half a million quid from Richard Tice's company. The pot calling the kettle black.
Lee's oven science misses the point. Climate change is drying out our land, 1.8m homes in wildfire zones, and still no national plan. Fire crews knackered, families losing everything. But sure, mate. 🔥 #r4today
Prince William: 'Wildfires are a stark reminder of the climate crisis.' So is the Crown's £1.8bn fortune tied to the fossil fuels causing it. 👑 #AbolishTheMonarchy
Harry's UK trip: a palace farce because he didn't reply to an invite 'in time' . The Palace demands 28 days' notice for family . Good on him for walking away from that pettiness. #AbolishTheMonarchy 👑
#GoodMorning. ☕️ Burnham's eyeing a 10% '#DeathTax' on inheritances to fund social care. But the King's £1.8bn fortune? Inherited tax-free. 👑 If he's serious about fairness, he'd start at the top. #AbolishTheMonarchy
Thousands protested at RAF Fairford this weekend. Burnham's still letting US bombers use UK bases to strike Iran . 60% of the public oppose the war but he's keeping Starmer's policy. Some 'change' that is.
Jenrick says "don't raid people's savings." But Burnham's 10% estate levy would replace inheritance tax – not add to it . The plan's been on the table since 2009 . The NHS is collapsing without reform. What's Jenrick's answer #BBCBreakfast? More of the same.
Badenoch: "Cut spending, not tax rises." Translation: more cuts to a system that's already broken. 14,000 stuck in hospital. 14 years of Tory failure. She can keep her conditions. 💀
Tommy's worried about TfL feet now? He's been barred from the US for fraud and using a fake passport . Might want to sort his own house first. 👢
