Cruel. Callous. Cowardly.
The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are.
We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box.
Reject the hate. Reject them.
This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again.

Devastated this unecessary attack on nature has been forced through, by a government in thrall to fake promises by the development industry.
This won't fix our housing crisis, because evidence shows developers focus on profit not need, but it will trash nature.

Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.

Much 'policy' ££ on energy bills comes back to customers as discounts - but the eye watering 24% of your bill which goes as profit to privatised companies sure does not.

Going green shouldn’t break the bank.
The govt must step up with grants and incentives to help people make the switch to green technology in the home. Investment in this technology will cut bills, improve health, and create jobs across the country. That’s a win-win-win!
