Labour mollifies the rich, targets disabled people and claims moral justification. There isn’t any | Frances Ryan
Ministers run away from a wealth tax and then concoct a punitive benefits system. They have made that choice and it’s immoral, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

Dear Prime Minister: in light of Trump’s disgraceful bullying of Zelensky today, can you please, please, please cancel the State Visit? A boor like Trump does NOT deserve to be honored by the British state.

So to recap:
✂️ Labour cut the winter fuel payment
✅ Their Scottish MPs voted for the cut
❌ Their MSPs voted against calls for the cut to be reversed
🛡️ They spent months defending the cut
Now Sarwar wants you to believe they’ll re-instate the payment?
Don’t fall for it
