The gulf between what London is actually like & how it is portrayed by terminally online, self-styled ‘patriots’ & their political heroes is absolutely incredible. I wonder how much it has to do with the city repeatedly electing a Muslim mayor…

It’s hard to escape the conclusion that media outlets & individuals who have been highly supportive of Netanyahu have gone so quiet because even they now recognise that his conduct is completely indefensible. Noga lays it all out here & it’s shocking.

There was absolutely no mandate given for public spending cuts. None. And if you’d directly asked the question… “protect Brexit or end austerity?”… end austerity would have won by a landslide. Well it did, didn’t it? Labour needs to stop punishing us for govt failure and change the bloody record.

📢 The UK government is talking about making HUGE cuts to disabled people’s social security.
Disabled people are already three times more likely to face hunger, and these cuts risk pushing even more people to food banks.
