Really struck today by how many of the people most responsible for the Brexit shitshow were actively rewarded for their stupidity/dishonesty. Knighthoods, Damehoods, peerages, newspaper columns, seats in the House of Commons… It’s a mark of how deep the rot has gone into the fabric of our society.

Imminent ceasefire, but they just want to cram in a few more deaths before it's implemented.
They won't know what to do with themselves if they can't murder anymore.

King Charles took one of his two helicopter's on his visit to one of the two food banks that he opened.

These two helicopters cost 20x as much as the Food Banks.

And you pay for it all.

Private equity profiteering from children's misery.

Compass Community has financialised foster care. Profits up from £3m to £10.8m.

Fees double/triple compared to what councils could charge.

Low pay, lack of workers' rights are hallmarks.

End privatisation.

Labour breaking yet another election pledge is one thing, but the timing of briefing this is, well, insane.

The people running the country are incompetent, and it seems actually insane.

The freezing weather is a stark reminder of why the government’s decision to means-test Winter Fuel Payments was cruel & wrong — & why I voted against it in September.

Every winter, elderly people die because they can’t afford to stay warm.

TEESWORKS scandal continues (Teesside Freeport)

Where is Labour on this?
Promoting more Freeports and SEZs when none of them have proved in the slightest bit beneficial to anyone but investors

Tell me otherwise if you know any genuinely “good” stories which aren’t number juggling

The Conservatives target Khan because racists disproportionately hate him (or at times just because they’re also being racist, eg 2016 mayoral election). Right wing media target him for the same reasons. Then someone at the BBC coughs awkwardly and suggests they follow up the Mail/Tel stories

Hmm. Liz Kendall sure changed her tune on the WASPI women issue. Screeching u-turn.

Here are a number of past examples (snapshots taken from her Twitter account) from back when she used to try and make electoral hay from their plight.

But now Labour are in power, hypocrisy is the order of the day.
