  2. ​ @denzel270 awww how sweet, thinks sunak is genuinely trying to kick only blaggers off the benefit. Everytime gov pulls a stunt like this, genuinely needy people lose out.

How hard does he work to hoover up dividends on his shares.

  11.  @bunkerbill  you need to understand the concept of commanding the confidence of the house. It is assumed that the leader of the party with a majority commands the confidence of the house. This dispensing with the need for a parliamentary vote. The leader of the opposition could trigger a confidence motion. Or the Tories could have held their own confidence motion. They didn't,
