Starmer's government is a sewer and has to go. Suddenly removing the 2 child benefit cap in the Budget after taking away the whip from MPs who voted TO remove it months ago doesn't suddenly transform this into a moral entity
Shame on you all. Get out of politics for good.

Review judge pulled from Palestine Action hearing at last hour, in patent stitch-up
Having a ruling from a panel of three judges is a desperate attempt to create a veneer of judicial authority in support of the actions of Keir Starmer's outlaw government
