My mate lost his job and was on job seekers for 2 months. In that time he had a prescription and on the advice on the chemist he got it for free and ticked the box for being on benefits. Turns out he wasn't on the right type of benefits so has had a penalty notice about claiming one prescription while on the wrong type of job seekers in between jobs. They can see all the prescriptions before and since that he's paid for.

Somebody can turn up tomorrow and get it completely free along with dental treatment.

It’ll be digital. I have a digital ID, health card, driving license - I don’t see why people get so worked up about it.

Next piece of evidence in 'Trump is a fascist'

Signing a deal to bring TikTok under US control and 'quipping' he'd make the algorithm "100% MAGA".

And of course the fact he's using almost endless executive orders so he can avoid having to pass anything through government.

Also, can we just ban some online US companies unless they're brough under UK control? We did invent the internet after all. I was thinking we could start with Twitter and TruthSocial
