The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

The Tories left our schools to RAAC and ruin.
The next generation will inherit RAAC-free schools from Labour, with rebuilds done in under a decade and all other schools cleared of RAAC by the end of this Parliament.
That's national renewal.

They say this money replaces the cash that used to come from the EU.
