AOC and Bernie can only do so much. Waiting for the ‘perfect’ moment or biding your time is not appropriate, or representative.

Honestly disgraceful from the Dems when you have Mamdani representing a new face of politics.

Bleak.
this is because Dems are furious with them for not meeting the moment

It remains, along with the welfare cap, the undisputed worst policy of my lifetime.

Piling on future costs and present misery for zero benefit beyond a few Sun and Mail page leads.
New government data on the impact of the two child limit: 469,780 households now affected, with 1,665,540 children in those households

Almost 40,000 more children affected since last year

It's a child poverty machine & it will cost us all more in the long term - get rid of it

If you don’t know how cooked we are. This is where we are at. This pot is boiling, frogs, and we’d better put out the fire and fast. Because that man is not alone in thinking this way. We are all about to be served on platters for oligarchs.

Witnessing the collapse in ethics and reputation of the US print press is quite something (not you Rolling Stone, love u), trading soft power for.. still being hated by the criminal they bent the knee for?

We have had a report saying two women walking up to a protest today at BAe Samlesbury were stopped by Lancashire Police and advised to remove their t-shirts that say 'Free Palestine', as it may "breach the proscription order".

And so it begins.
