Quite shocking for HM Opposition to take the side of a foreign gov't, over their own parliamentary colleagues being detained and turned away by Israel.
A most basic test of loyalty and solidarity, yet the Tories somehow managed to fail it.
Cries of "shame". Quite right. ~AA

The UK loses £250bn profit a year to Privatised Services.
That's £5bn a week, more than 5x Brexit.
Nearly 90% of this money goes to Tax Havens, no tax, no spending, completely lost.
That's why the Government has no money, not Disabled People.

There's no wealth tax on billionaires but there is a 9% tax on graduates earning an average salary. How can that possibly be right?

Corporate wealth is generated by workers. Will their pay increase by the same rate? No chance.

What the government can’t afford:
❌Lifting children out of poverty
❌Disability benefits
❌Compensation for WASPI women
❌Winter fuel allowance
What the government can afford: an extra £13.4 billion on the military.
Never any money for the poor. Always enough money for war.
