When MPs get a job perk (eg, pension fund bonus), pensioners get the same. And on retirement, pensioners get something akin to an MP’s winding-up payment of to four months' salary.29 Sep 2026 07:35 +0000at://did:plc:q6inyakoid7253malej3ncbf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwncx6xlm22ghttps://bsky.app/profile/johnmanningpct.bsky.social/post/3mvskb7vnek2fIf he stops breathing and quits farting, our CO2 emissions will fall drastically.18 Sep 2026 16:04 +0000at://did:plc:q6inyakoid7253malej3ncbf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvskb7vnek2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/johnmanningpct.bsky.social/post/3mvfs2zo3g22pThe big question: was this person smuggled out in an airline catering truck, as seems to be common practice with (alleged!)

Every time he bombs Iranian infrastructure, kills people, and enriches himself, the value of my fund increases. Not proud of that.05 Sep 2026 09:10 +0000at://did:plc:q6inyakoid7253malej3ncbf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mur52sghxc2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/johnmanningpct.bsky.social/post/3mur4ueyeuc2lWhy have Boris Johnson’s crimes so swiftly been forgotten?05 Sep 2026 09:06 +0000at://did:plc:q6inyakoid7253malej3ncbf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mur4ueyeuc2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/johnmanningpct.bsky.social/post/3muppliyv522pStraight out of the Republican playbook – can’t get what he wants legitimately so he’ll weight justice in his favour, re-write society, end democracy and start putting his opponents in internment camps.

Farage was advised of “an organised campaign to disrupt and degrade” (his words) the Clacton by-election result. Instead of standing timidly on stage with the other candidates, awaiting trouble, he single-handedly lured the disruptors away, to a tent, in a field… and a rally.14 Aug 2026 08:05 +0000at://did:plc:q6inyakoid7253malej3ncbf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mszp77s7is2c
