Adhering to the ECHR is important!
If the Tories want out then you have to think why?
We should be adding more rights not stripping away those we have!

Typing in a one sided version of an argument you had with a close friend in order to, with good intention, understand what went wrong & having AI comfort your feelings while it calls your friend an "emotional manipulator"

$7.25 as a minimum wage is OBSCENE
If you are on $7.25/hr & work a reasonable 40 hrs/wk, you earn $290
Yet $300 is the limit for relative poverty for a single person
That's insane!
And if you are on minimum wage as a single parent?
So f*cked up!

They're admitting they're governing like Tories. They're saying the quiet part out loud and yet people still won't believe it

We know they can issue without constraint for numerous reasons
Whenever it's necessary to approve a budget for war, it gets approved

Think:
Two scenarios
1 - A worker gets a govt job & receives 2k/mnth with 200 deductions
2 - The same worker gets the same govt job, but gets paid 1800/mnth with no deductions
They both get 1800 in their bank account, so what is the difference?
Which job would you prefer & why?

All money that exists in the economy, comes from govt
Every payment that is issued by govt, is added to the debt
The only way to eliminate the debt is to ask for that money back

Yet another unsustainable rise in rents - time for the government to put a stop to rip off rents and stop landlords treating tenants as cash cows. Rent controls are long overdue and are badly needed to give all renters a home they can afford.
🚨 BREAKING:
Average UK private rents increased by 8.7% over the last year. The average monthly rent is now £1,332.

In your case, maybe money comes from an employer or from an asset?
