Some people need to understand this.
If you find that I'm generally in agreement with you on political matters, don't jump down my throat the moment I'm not.
If you cannot stand any criticism of your beloved Starmer/Davey/Polanski at all, then you're no longer engaged in politics, but tribalism.

We should not rest until the last foodbank closes due to lack of demand
The fact we have any food banks is the best indicator that wages have been flatlined as corporate profits surge. our system is broken and needs a re-set. .GOV should not need to top up folks wages and folk should not need charity to eat in the 21st century. We've gone wrong somewhere.

Today is 92nd anniversary of Holodomor. Soviet Russia inflicted a man made famine on Ukraine that killed millions. Today we are trying to wipe the country off the map.
The only difference is the USA is on our side now.

“Did Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?”
“Did you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?”

Is it apathy, ignorance or fear that keeps UK government on X and complicit on the views expressed there?

There's no suggestion or evidence ANY alcohol or drugs was consumed. This is literally just people dancing.
And buried in the piece: "The footage is believed to have been filmed just before Labour took power in July last year."
