kerry ✊💙Save Our NHS @hewitson10 · Follow Work & pensions secretary Mel stride has a plan for people to earn some money & save the economy 🤦♀️
Get the over 50s out to deliver takeaways, get on yer bike
Over 50s won’t like this & that’s core Tory voters
Big mistake - HUGE 🤣

Otto English @Otto_English · Follow Well done Mel Stride - finally some common sense from the Common Sense group - get Nan a bike for Christmas and make her earn her keep.
Sir Michael Take CBE @MichaelTakeMP · Follow This is a great idea from Govt Minister Mel Stride to get the cash strapped elderly off warm buses & away from the food banks! Perhaps the oldies could do: Dentistry Fruit picking Lorry driving Routine surgery Fracking Drag Oil drilling GB News presenting.

@Kevin_Maguire · Follow Tory Minister Mel Stride lecturing over-50s to get on their bikes and become Deliveroo riders to make extra cash will be good advice…for Tory MP losing seats because voters think they’re out of touch.
Charlie Falconer @LordCFalconer · Follow Norman Tebbit said get on your bike in response to mass unemployment and rioting in 1981. Mel Stride uses it now in the face of stagnation and inflation. Traditional Tory response in face of Tory induced economic failure.
