Rachel Reeves said in her budget speech that she was asking everyone to make a contribution. Many can’t. They literally don’t have a penny to spare. The wealthy elite have absolutely no idea how bad the cost of living crisis is for the poorest.

“I would never, ever do it in a hurtful or insulting way,” Farage responded

How could racist slurs be done in a kind way????

How could hissing like a gas chamber not be construed as evil.

Farage is in trouble.

There is no 'Cost of Living Crisis', it is the Cost of Greed.

Until you cut the record profits of the billionaires it will never end.

They make far too much money, they NEED to make less.

Reform's polling isn't getting better. They're leading for sure but stagnation is occurring and I don't think we're anywhere near the ceiling for the Green Party. Heh heh heh.

🤍 On #WhiteRibbonDay, we all stand together to call for an end to gender-based violence and campaign for safer workplaces and communities. Unions speak up, support survivors, and push for real change as we reject the harassment of women and girls.

I genuinely find it astonishing that someone of colour could advocate the random picking of potential migrants to create a climate of fear among minoritised people.

I mean... how do you think thatll work for other black British people Trevor?

Kirstie Allsopp, a successful wowam from a very wealthy background thinks it's wrong to pay stamp duty, even £1M+ houses, even for people owning more than one property.
I wonder why?
She also thinks it's wrong for some pensioners to have a free bus pass.
Who is bankrupting the country?
Hmmmmmmmmm.

The worst possible Government at the worst possible time. All those lives lost, all those lives changed forever. Boris Johnson was not fit to be PM and the Conservatives should never be let anywhere near Government ever again.
BREAKING: UK’s response to Covid was “too little too late”. Acting faster could have saved 23,000 lives in England according to the public inquiry.

Boris Johnson presided over a “toxic, sexist, chaotic culture” in No10, where rule-breaking seriously undermined public confidence.

A "toxic and chaotic culture" in the UK government affected decision-making, it adds, saying that Boris Johnson failed to tackle and sometimes "actively [encouraged] it"

Covid inquiry live updates: UK did 'too little, too late', leading to thousands more Covid deaths, says inquiry
The inquiry says an earlier lockdown could have saved 23,000 lives in the first wave in England - and lockdown could have been avoided altogether with earlier interventions.

The one thing the useless incompetent Boris Johnson clung on to for his failed premiership was the UK’s Covid response. Turns out he killed 20,000 people.

The Covid Inquiry finds that if Boris Johnson had called the first lockdown even one week earlier then it could have saved at least 20,000 lives.

Here's a quick reminder of what Johnson was actually doing during those weeks

UK Covid inquiry:

Chairwoman of the inquiry, former judge Baroness Hallett, said the UK's response could be summarised as "too little, too late"

Lockdown could have been avoided - but action came too late
