Greens - Lower bills through nationalising our public services, wealth tax on assets and huge increase in investment in our public services.
Labour - ID Cards, random statements about flags and Austerity 2.0.
But apparently the Green Party are the "vibes era?"
Make it make sense!

Politics is in a vibes era. Nigel Farage and Zack Polanski are proof of that. But maybe Keir Starmer can take positivity from Ruben Amorim.

Scrapping the two-child benefit cap is the "cost effective way" of getting 500,000 children out of poverty, according to former Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
He's right. Child poverty is and always has been a political choice.
Labour should remove the cap immediately.

Any country (or party) that squeezes social security for the disabled because ‘savings must be made’ while continuing to tax unearned wealth (capital gains) less than earned wealth is immoral.
