The desperate search for economic growth is pushing the party to confront the issue that dare not speak its name

I’m disgusted that some senior DWP people have learned nothing about the scale of the misery their policies inflicted.
It’s high time the DWP showed some respect to carers and some awareness of their own gross errors.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.
