our ridiculous First Past the Post system. So he's in no position to blame anyone for "splitting the vote".

She’s quite simply arguing for the destruction of the social safety net. We pay collectively for a better fairer society. If we only pay for what we get, we all end up with nothing. That a Labour chancellor should be so intellectually lacking on this issue shows the depth to which the party has sunk

To those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote":
1. Things have changed.
2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit)
3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

And you’d be right. I hope Thatcher is rotting in hell.
Older person here, I agree. When did we stop wanting to make others lives better as well as ourselves? When was invididual enrichment more important than community? The only answer i have is that it started in 1979.

Yes everyone pays tribute to workers in social care & says they aren't paid enough, but we know exactly what politicians would say if they ever went on strike for better pay. They'd call them greedy & selfish & accuse them of causing suffering among the most vulnerable in society

The level of pay of these CEOs is also far more than the salaries of Directors of Children’s Services in Local Authorities who tend to have responsibility for more schools. Another privatisation gravy train.

Quite, what a nonsensical argument. The use of such poor logic by any government minister is terrible, but especially from the Chancellor!
Good grief. Do people who don't go to uni not benefit from doctors, librarians, researchers, lawyers, architects, artists, writers, archivists, historians, designers, programmers, etc etc etc...? What is this weird unjoined up world she imagines?
Rachel Reeves: "It is not right that people who don't go to university bear the cost for others to." I don't use local leisure centres and I don't drive, so will I be made exempt for taxation that pays for all that stuff? Or is it only education we'll be going after
