The language of being 'economically inactive' used by Labour belies where the real 'inaction' resides, which is is for Reeves and Starmer to stop their bullshit and tax the fucking wealth hoarders.

There is a shameful tradition of demonising disabled people. Why is Labour reigniting it? | Frances Ryan
Ministers run away from a wealth tax and then concoct a punitive benefits system. They have made that choice and it’s immoral, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

Incidents at 950 English hazardous industrial sites ‘going unchecked’.
This is what happens with real wage cuts, huge staff turnover, public spending cuts, firing of staff, deregulation.
Labour needs to reverse these factors not exacerbate by more cuts/deregulation.
Austerity has a social cost.

Trump's attacks on the Department of Education should remind us never to elect to high office anyone without a stake in society. We suffered the same in the UK from 2010, when people who used private healthcare and private schools ripped up public services.
