Time to email your local MP and let them know just how you feel about targeting the poor, the sick & the disabled.
Let them know they'll lose your vote FOREVER if this goes through.

Today was the day that the so-called 'Labour' Party announced its ultimate, and hopefully last, betrayal of the working class.
Sir Keir Starmer, doyen of the British establishment and Zionist puppet, has taken a massive shit on everything Labour was founded upon.

Tonight I voted against the Government's proposals in the Universal Credit and Personal Independent Payment Bill
Disabled people already face costs of an extra £1091 a month, we should not be taking more money away from the most vulnerable in society.

No matter how many last-minute concessions Starmer offers rebel MPs on the Welfare Bill, disabled people WILL end up worse off than before it passes. That's true even if some end up being protected.
A truly extraordinary state of affairs for a Labour government.

It is very likely that May, 2025 will end up with a global temperature anomaly below 1.4°C.
If ENSO neutral (or La Nina) conditions persist this year, it is possible that 2025 will end up below 1.5°C.
Last December, the Climate Casino put the OVER/UNDER for 2025 at 1.52°C. I'll take the UNDER.

What Starmer and Labour have yet to figure out is that it's all very well having a 10-15 year grand plan for setting Britain to rights, but not if you do stuff that makes you so unpopular in the meantime that you only get 5 years in power.

This is true. The Tories have destroyed themselves trying to ape Farage. Under the influence of Blue Labour, Starmer is doing the same to Labour.
Amplifying Farage's message merely drives people to vote for the real Farage rather than the pale copy.

1. Starmer instigates a “red Reform” strategy, pushing Labour to the hard right
2. Reform surge in polls
3. Starmer doubles-down on “red Reform”
4. Reform climbs even more in the polls
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 in an endless loop.
