Labour might wonder why, less than a year into a new government promising “change”, people are giving up on it in droves. So let me help it out with a few clues.
1. Cutting disability benefits
2. Freezing Local Housing Allowance.
3. Maintaining the cruel, Malthusian two-child benefit cap ....

Let’s just remind ourselves about Farage’s big meal ticket idea again. And no, this isn’t about how the Tories did it, this is just Brexit reality. And Farage would make the deal *even worse*. Pariah status, unreliable, ruined UK howling about immigration and moaning that everything is broken.

It truly surprises me that it's so easy to smear a band, who are not committing any genocide or are taking the land of people, than actually focus on the governments and their allies, who are the ones enabling the genocide of Palestinias are undergoing. Power to Kneecap!

Fleetwood Mac's mind were truly great. I miss them creating amazing work such as the Say You Will album. The art cover of that album was inspired by the Japanese film, Double Suicide. My favourite songs are probably Red Rover, Come and Everybody Finds Out.

I think, with everything happening in the world, if you mock a woman’s teeth because she chose not get veneers done (which would involve filing down her natural teeth to points and shoving fakes over the top) you might be a piece of shit.

The truth is, there is only one language that Labour speaks and that is the language of political pain. For so long as Keir Starmer thinks we'll all go crawling back to Labour at the next Election he will continue to court the Reform vote. We need to tell him we won't.

X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself.
