Not sure who needs to hear this, but if a politician promises to make utility bills go down, they need to make them *go down over time*, not go down compared to a fictitious alternate universe that only exists in some think tank's models.

Imagine being a Labour MP and thinking that using "lefties" as a slur is going to win back voters. Not only have they lost all identity, they're also utterly clueless.
Yet another crap video from another Labour MP (Josh Simons) attacking me and "lefties."

They serve only power & weath.

Israel's cheerleaders should just be honest.
They want to criminalise all speech condemning Israel's behaviour.
They want Israel to be able to slaughter as many Palestinians as it wants, and for it to be a criminal offence to oppose that.
That's their actual intentions!
