UK Govt plan to reduce child poverty is welcome but that requires reduction in parental poverty.
That can't be done without equitable distribution of income and wealth, stronger trade unions, progressive taxation, decent housing, education, healthcare, jobs and sound economy.
Who will do that?

Cheering the two child limit ending isn’t patting Starmer’s Labour on the back or ignoring his record. It’s acknowledging 8 years of hard campaigning and ridding the country of a cruel, toxic policy. Half a million children won’t be hungry anymore. Celebrate today. Tomorrow, pick the next fight.

If Farage wins the next election, it will be down to one person. His name is Keir Starmer.
This thread explains why.
1. Destroying faith in democracy. The UK decisively voted out the Tories, only for Starmer to give us a Continuity Tory government, shamefully beholden to economic power.

Aerial photos from Gaza this past week reveal the horrific scale of destruction Israel has inflicted on the 25-mile strip. The devastation is reminiscent of Hiroshima. Israel’s war crimes continue to mount by the day.
