Labour elected 2024 Will they investigate DWP Deaths? No. Will they stop benefit sanctions? No. Will they tax wealth? Ha! New Government same old shit. The shroud is orange fabric with black text, lying on green grass. Top left there’s a skull, the teeth spell DWP. Top right there’s a rose, Labour’s logo. There are chains filling the gaps between the text. Labour promise change then bring in Tory cuts cuts still kill Labour Roses thrive in shit People don’t. Cuts cuts cuts. If the system cripples you you must cripple the system. New government same old shit Why bother to vote? Rebel Resist Revolt The shroud is white fabric with red and blue text, with red and blue roses. Labour Cuts Still Kill MPs on £94,000 Plus Expenses Cut Benefits And Spend More On ‘Defence’. Who Benefits From War? #Welfare Not Warfare The shroud is white fabric with black, white and blue text. Down the right hand side, red scissors have chopped the heads off three red roses.
