Arhhh 110k a year MP who spounges off the tax payer with his expenses and hires his wife to the time of 40k a year as his “secretary” lol 😂 Milltary salary is 20k….. he needs to stfu
We have homeless vets here in U.S. Some have been on the streets for yrs bc of mental illness or drug addiction. Some are Vietnam vets so they've been living rough forever 😞
He’s the Veterans Minister and quite rightly they must be his priority. I do however agree with you that any homeless people should receive more assistance.
If veterans are well looked after by the same government they served, I agree with his statement. However, this isn’t the case. These people are being ignored after their return home sick and left abandoned to their own devices. So, yes, they should be able to go to a food bank. Limited mental health is provided to them, so they end up in the streets with no housing assistance. Get a grip and at least try to understand their circumstances.
What a load of crap. Did he actually say inflation doesn't fall on its own, you have to do stuff. So in that case Sunak actually did stuff to send inflation through the roof on purpose or through negligence.
Here’s an idea and I know it’s crazy but stay with me. Take all the money we are spending on hotels, ships, benefits for illegals put it into a pot and help our own first. 🤷
Here's an idea. Make the tax system fairer. Capital Gains tax parity with income tax. No Non Dom status. No non-UK resident permitted to buy property unless they have right to live here. Process applications for asylum within six months. If not permitted to remain then deport.
I would definitely vote for Keir if he changes his inheritance tax policy ( why should I have to give Keir 40% of my assets so he can finance immigrant benefit scroungers).- (check it with a solicitor like I did)
If you're married or in a Civil Partnership you pay no IHT unless you go over £1 million of assets (spouse keeps all until they die). What's over is 40%.

Is there a pattern of reasons why veteran's end up on the streets? For example, do they come out of the army with no fixed address? If so, How/why is this happening? OR do they go home and cant cope, have untreated ptsd, turn to drugs/drink and end up being kicked out of their home due to that? Im trying to understand why there are so many homeless Vets out there.
when you leave the forces you apply to the council where you want to live for accommodation and you go on a list, you may be given a push up that list depending on time served, but if you have no kids you're not a priority and will never get high enough up the list to actually be housed. So you have to go private renting.
How about military personnel be pensioned like police so they don’t have to rely on benefits for sustenance ! They deserve a pention upon leaving service!
you have to serve 22 years non-commissioned to get an immediate pension. Many don't serve that long. For those that do, that pension is taken into account to ensure don't receive a penny in any other benefits
It's something that conservatives would never countenance doing. By psilocin-aided rehab centres (the chemical in magic mushrooms), has an unbelievably high success rate with people suffering from PTSD & addictions. They should offer such licenced therapy sessions to all veterans, in my opinion.
Johnny seems to be a reasonable person. Piers likes to fan the flames of controversy, but he doesn't seem to want to be part of the solution...just part of the problem.
You think he's a reasonable person? His behaviour on Question Time was appalling. When you say something that is misconstrued (that's questionable) then the best course of action is to gracefully and humbly explain the misunderstanding, apologise for the offence caused and move on. Didn't see any of that.
Our government love a promise but do nothing as it’s been proven
So flippant, so lacking in empathy. Vile man.
None of our vetŕans should be homeless..... while housing immigration
Veterans have been neglected for much longer than the there was an issue with 'small boats'. Why didn't they deal with it before?
People with wealth should not be allowed in government because they don't live in the real world. All MP's should be from a working class background
Johnny said we could hold him to account, and after a rise, he's throwing a tantrum. Utterly useless.
Gosh, I thought active duty military made more money than that.
Easy take out the people in hotels and let the Homeless Veteran live in there.
No one should be homeless let alone vets who have served our country. How about employing vets to man our borders, our towns etc?

A worthy cause.
I’m surprised we have vets on the streets that actually want and need somewhere to sleep.

Words are increasingly worthless.. we'll see how well johnny has done after 3 years
I'm pretty sure he'd be happy with that, especially as he's more than likely going to be out of government at least next year...
He has already epically failed

He is just out of touch!
how about controlling the borders
how about providing safe and legal routes?

Johnny Mercer is right. As a former Royal Marine, I am surprised at the Labour Candidate playing games.
What about homeless veterans and food banks?
