I'm reliant upon PIP as it is the only way I can afford to get the help I need. There must be so many others like me. Glad I didn't vote for fake Labour - not democratic socialist values but more like fascist.
🚨IT’S NOT TOO LATE for the government to change course. Keir Starmer is being advised to urgently pause the Government's plans to cut disability & health benefits by Parliament's work & pensions committee who say they should not go ahead without a comprehensive impact assessment

I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the government to rethink its cruel, shameful & completely irresponsible plan to cut benefits which will plunge 250,000 people, including 50,000 children into poverty - on its own impact analysis

Reform care so much about the process of local government that they can't be bothered to turn up to their first meetings and are causing chaos in councils across the country.

Totally utterly completely indefensible
❗️BREAKING — The UK Ministry of Defence admits it is “currently training” Israeli military personnel in Britain.
The Labour government has until now refused to answer questions about this, which we covered last year.

Absolutely - the nastier than the Tory party are leaving the door wide open for Reform. We urgently need a new genuinely democratic socialist party to rise up and present a real alternative but where is it? Rumours abound but nothing ever comes to fruition.

A vote for Brexit was a vote for Putin. Since the 2016 EU referendum, evidence has mounted that Russian interference helped secure the narrow ‘Leave’ victory. By weakening the EU and sowing division, ...

When the likes of Nutty Nigel or Tommy Ten-names rile up the knuckledraggers, it usually ends in death threats and angry mobs, something Starmer was quick to point out more than once. These are the actions of a weak and cowardly man and more than prove Starmer is as right-wing as one could get.

Why exactly is Starmer stalling on gaining us closer ties to the EU who were once our largest trading partner? He is under pressure from MPs to forge ahead. Instead, he's brown nosing Trump for a trade deal. We all know that Trump will want to get his grubby mits on the NHS. NO WAY.
