While EU are ready to retaliate with tariffs, Starmer has decided to give US tech billionaires tax cuts. This is after Starmer went for the pensioners, the disabled and the immigrants. Uk have a very right wing government.

The principle behind these brutal disabled benefit cuts is that these people are regarded to be undeserving of help as they do not ‘contribute’ to the economy. It is sickening. #r4today

Labour MPs saying “the clue is in the name” to justify benefit cuts is wildly disingenuous. It co-opts Labour’s history to imply all those that cannot physically labour are somehow excluded from the cause. Being pro-worker does not require being anti-unemployed or anti-disabled. It never did.
