Around £1.6 billion is spent every year on subscriptions people no longer want. As Halifax’s MP and the Minister responsible for consumer protection, I’m helping bring forward new rules so costs are clearer and subscriptions are easier to cancel. Here’s what it means 👇

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Voters' big problem with subscriptions is that they can't cancel the one with Labour.

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Can I cancel my BBC 'subscription'? Oh, no, I can't, not without threats of fines or imprisonment? DEAL WITH THAT FIRST.

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Fuck sake we are adults. Stop the boats Sort GP appointments We can stop a subscription we’re not mental.

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Jesus imagine being so desperate for favours you lower yourself to this. It’s pathetic.

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP I and many others no longer want the government, how do I unsubscribe Kate?

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP This is such a piss take. This is the best Labour can come up with 😂🤡

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP This is a great comfort as the Britain we know is being invaded & destroyed

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP OFFS! The country is being invaded by medieval misogynistic criminals & you’re banging on about subscriptions. ARE YOU BLOODY CRAZY?

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP You really think subscriptions are the most threatening issue on people's minds? You need to experience the real world.

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP I really don't understand why a subscription is hard to cancel or how you're going to make it easier? It's up to people to keep track of their subscriptions isn't it?

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP @Kate_Dearden then why are people forced to pay the @bbc licence fee even when they don't watch the @bbc or listen to the BBC radio ?

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP We don't care about this crap. For Gods sake concentrate on your main job as a government- PROTECTING OUR BORDERS. You are a bunch of utter morons.

-Stop the bloody boats ,we pay billion so taxes to fund the illegals -Stop the nett zero madness it’s costing us billions in taxes and higher prices on the high street . -Stop paying non Brits ,saving the tax payer billions - Stop the uncontrolled rape of some and girls in the UK,we are becoming the rape capital of Europe Get bloody serous and stop this student nonsense ..

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Kate Dearden is another Labour cunt. A CUNT who voted to protect Muslim men who force fuck children. And here she is telling you lies abort subscriptions.

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Not a job for our PM to be doing, and escaping around and while ignoring the huge problems facing GB!

Why does modern politics contain so much “I”? “I’m delivering.” “I’m changing.” “I’m taking action.” Government is a collective endeavour, not a personal brand. Whatever happened to “we” or, better still, telling us what has actually been delivered rather than who wants the credit?

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Utter waffle and word salad... If you want to cancel a subscription, just ring up, cancel & stop the payments from the bank. Hardly a policy of serious politics!!

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Start with the BBC - that’s the first one to cancel

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Announced years ago by Starmer.

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP I think the majority of people have just forgotten to cancel. I guarantee this is another badly thought out Labour policy.

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Great, can I cancel the BBC? I’m forced to subscribe to it and don’t watch it.

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Can you please sort this one out? I cancelled my subscription in 2024 as I no longer wanted it, but since then they have been sending frequent letters threatening me with attending my property, fines and prison. Cheers.

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Honestly, this is pathetic from Labour. All people need to do is stop their direct debit with their bank if they have trouble cancelling.Simple as that! Speak to your bank.

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Quick observation, if they all stopped paying, the economy would be £1.6 billion worse off, putting people out of work, rasing the cost of the welfare bill and decreasing tax income. Other than that a jolly good idea. 🤪

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP The lockstep posting every time you think you have come up with a great idea, does not, in fact, convince us that it’s a great idea.🤦‍♂️

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Which reminds me has anyone else seen the new series “Ann Droid” it’s very good. Not sure why this MP’s delivery brought this to mind…

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Good to see you got the Party email. I for one, lay awake for hours EVERY night worrying about my magazine subscriptions. Now, thankfully, Labour come to the rescue 👍

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP So we can cancel subscriptions but can’t keep two cop killers in jail?

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP …. I assume you know most banking apps already have functions to do this ? Plus, you’ll just increase the normal monthly cost…

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Can I stop the part of my subscription to the state which is sending £17bn a year overseas in foreign aid, spending £15bn+ a year on illegal migrants and £10bn on welfare for foreign nationals. That should save us all about £1500 a year in tax?

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP There are greater priorities in the country that require the attention of the showbiz Prime Minister and his government. 230 examples...

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Yep, how to cancel Netflix is certainly the big topic around where I live. Thank you, Kate. It's good to have another serious career politician fighting our corner.

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP That £1.6b figure comes from work the Conservatives did before 2024. Why suddenly the big focus now? Are you simply deflecting from immigration, tax, crime, unemployment, debt....?

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Is this the best thing to waste your time on? Of all the things that need sorting out subscriptions is the hot topic? I wouldn't pay you in used bus tickets.

@biztradegovuk @andyburnham @jreynoldsMP Did you do this little video when @Keir_Starmer announced these changes some months ago? If not, why not?
