Watch as Tony Banks performs the instrumental section of "The Musical Box" with @genesis_band on The Midnight Special, 1973.
"Nursery Cryme" was first released this week in 1971.

I know Kemi Badenoch and Helen Whateley shouldn't be getting welfare.
Millionaires claiming poor taxpayers for huge rents for expensive 2nd home, huge electricity bills.
Time to #MeansTestMPs
Most of us know someone on welfare who probably shouldn't be. A friend of a friend. A distant cousin. The chap a few doors down.
For too many, welfare has become a top-up for the cost of living, even "holiday money".
Only @Conservatives will tell the uncomfortable truth and defuse this financial time bomb.

Rape is overwhelmingly a male-perpetrated crime. It isn't a migrant issue or an immigration issue.
It's a MALE violence issue. Most women are raped by men they know, not by some faceless group of foreigners.
Stop using rape to push an anti-immigrant agenda.

Woman who lives in a second home funded by the taxpayer with most bills paid.
'Well paid job' - shows how out of touch with reality she is if she feels 'minimum wage' (which the Tories also want to freeze for 5 years) is well paid

Helen Whately has been an MP since 2015 when she was elected MP for Faversham and Mid-Kent.
Helen has held several positions within the Conservative party but is now employed as a full-time demagogue, attacking disabled and sick people for claiming much needed benefits.
Guess how much Helen has claimed in ̶P̶a̶r̶l̶i̶a̶m̶e̶n̶t̶a̶r̶y̶ ̶b̶e̶n̶e̶f̶i̶t̶s̶ expenses since becoming an MP? 👇
Helen is actively working to make those much less fortunate than herself … much worse off.
While having claimed almost TWO MILLION pounds from the public purse in expenses.
Just utterly reprehensible.
Meet Nikki. She’s a mum in her fifties who came to see me.
Since her job in a nursery became all too much, she’s started receiving universal credit.
Without qualifications and, as she put it, being ‘no good at computers’, she's struggling to find another job.
But that’s not why she came to speak to me. Her real worry was her son, Jack, who signed on the moment he turned 18.
He's got autism and ADHD, but Nikki wants him to work.
She's frustrated the state is paying him money to stay at home. She desperately wants the job centre to get on his case.
But there’s no sign of that.
So, Jack is literally left to his own devices, gaming in his bedroom most of the time.
Who would want that life for their child?
Stories like Jack's are increasingly common.
It’s a disaster.
Hundreds of thousands of young people are setting out on a life on benefits. Only the Conservatives have a detailed plan to put an end to this and help young people into work. We’ll halve National Insurance for employers hiring 21 to 24-year-olds, create 100,000 more apprenticeships, and introduce a Get to Work programme to stop young people going straight from education onto benefits.

What is wrong with this woman?
What made her think weaponising Russell Brand would be a good idea for PMQs?
Has she forgotten the victims?
Or indeed her hero Thatcher cosying up to Saville?!

Yes. Most of us also know MPs taking more in rent and expenses than any family is allowed under the benefit cap, while lecturing everyone else about “holiday money.”
We just don’t talk about it.

Kemi: I've got an idea. While everybody is distracted by the David Walliams allegations, let's bash disabled people again.
Helen Whately: what a fabulous idea, let's do it!

I find it very hard to take lectures on affordability from a woman who consistently has one of the highest expenses bills in Parliament. – at Winsford, England
The Conservatives have published plans to cut £36-billion from the welfare bill including claims for what the party call 'low-level issues such as mild mental health problems and bad backs'.
On #BBCBreakfast shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Helen Whately was asked about plans to save £2.8 billion from changes to child disability living allowance

Not only reintroducing the 2 child cap but going after disabled children too
Tories would save £2.8bn by cutting ADHD benefits for children

And jave ypu SEEN what MP are allowed to claim in expenses for their children???
🔴@Helen_Whately, Shadow Secretary of State for Work & Pensions, has claimed £2 MILLION expenses in 10 years.
£300,000 relates to her own travel and accommodation - yet she only lives 50 miles from London.
Her boss, @KemiBadenoch has 3 children, claims £2.7K per month to rent a 6 bed farmhouse & tried to claim expenses for a family holiday.
The country can't afford these @Conservatives.

Do you know what's ballooning?
MP's expense claims.
Maybe they should get vouchers instead of money.
Stephen Evans retweeted
Ask yourself why Helen Whately does this, literally daily.
She & her husband are both millionaires hoping to avoid a wealth tax at all costs. To them, disabled people’s lives aren’t worth a damn &they’d rather see us starve than pay a measly 2% wealth tax on their assets over 10m

As if life wasn't tough enough for families with disabled kids, Whately wants them to suffer more. @Conservatives will screw you given a vote. Don't.
