They just don't care...
There's a snow storm in Florida, and we're withdrawing from climate agreements. Bird flu is about to go human-to-human and cause a pandemic, and we're withdrawing from the World Health Organization. More than 95% of people won't benefit from Trump's new tax plan, and yet we're cutting taxes for the ultrawealthy. They just don't care.

Liz Truss has blamed the Bank of England again for her massive unfunded tax cut which crashed the economy.

Lettuce point and laugh.

Socialism is when the fire department arrives. Capitalism is when the insurance company refuses to pay.

And let’s not forget the £30 BILLION that #LizTruss lost the nation, when she crashed the UK #economy in just six disastrous weeks as #PM. Memo to Liz: It wasn’t the fault of #KierStarmer for mentioning it.

Vaccines stopped polio.
The image is a graph titled "Reported paralytic polio cases and deaths, United States, 1910 to 2019," from Our World in Data. It shows the annual number of polio cases (in red) and deaths (in green). A sharp decline in both cases and deaths occurs after the introduction of the polio vaccine in 1957, which is marked with an arrow labeled "Vaccine introduced in 1957." The graph illustrates the dramatic impact of vaccination on reducing polio cases and fatalities over time.

Do you see what they’re doing? Tell me you do.
Post by Hannah Riley: women died because they received no life saving care as they were having miscarriages in Georgia and the state responded by simply eradicating the committee that investigated deaths of pregnant women.

Blaming Labour & Keir Starmer for the state of the country at the moment is like blaming the rescue lifeboats for the sinking of the Titanic...it's not their fault.
The Tories stripped the coffers bare & destroyed the fabric of society Never...ever...forget that.
