Since the banks crashed the economy real wages have gone down by £11,000. And yet Labour’s Budget chose to tax workers. Billionaires and the super-rich got off lightly. 1/2

Good god. We've spent a decade with the British media - including the BBC - claiming that the 'gender critical' movement wanted to 'protect women and girls'.
And it turns out Jeffrey Epstein was funding part of it.

I'm not being facetious. Epstein was apparently giving talking points to the people pushing anti trans rhetoric in the UK.
