People who dismiss the 500,000 people signing up for the new ‘YourParty’ as joining a mailing list, need to remember Corbyn attracted 400,000 new members to Labour when he took over as leader. Since 2019 Labour last lost 300,000 members.

This quote sums up the political incompetence at the heart of Starmer’s government. Clueless

A fair summing up of the Starmer Government by an objective observer-
‘Too many factional fighters without deeper politics and with few policy ideas, clutching to a rigid dogma from a political era (the 90s) now long gone.’

Odd there’s no money to sort out WASPI compensation, winter fuel or the two child benefit cap, but there is £6 billion slushing around to sort out an almighty cock up at the MoD over privatising service personnel accommodation.🤯

Up to 2011 taxpayers paid the Royal Family £8 million a year via the civil list - but it embarrassed the royals and the government every year.
Today that would be £12 million under the Civil List rules.
Last year we paid Charlie’s family £80 million under the Crown Estate profit sharing scam 😡😡😡

And Starmer & Reeves continue with the cruelest Tory policy that keeps 620,000 British children in absolute poverty - the vicious 2 child benefit caps.

Tax dodging ‘farmers’ like Clarkson & Dyson have exploited the farm inheritance tax rules. The reality is the aristocracy, corporations and Tycoons own 70% of our land, not family farms

A first class stamp before Royal Mail was privatised in 2013 was 60p. If it had gone up in line with inflation it would be 86p now. It is almost double that at £1.65. The joys of privatisation.

Tony Benn was right then and now. We can give £3billion of taxpayers money to buy arms for Ukraine this year but not use the same amount to keep millions of pensioners warm this winter or take hundreds of thousands of our poorest children out of poverty. 😡

Oil and gas companies are just profiteering from us.
In 2022 our typical household energy bill was £800, but today it’s almost double that.
Time for more windfall taxes to punish them and help balance Britain’s finances.
