It's International Women's Day, and on this day, weasel Mason would be expected to dig into the misogyny, bullying, and attacks on women in Reform UK. I checked, he's quiet, perhaps he's too busy thinking about another bullying article on Labour's women politician.

The supervised toothbrushing scheme at school is fine.
But the real problem is 50+% of people don't have access to an NHS dentist and Private dentists are charging 5-10x more.
Everyone needs to go to the dentist, it doesn't matter how well you brush your teeth.

The Government claims it needs to make £6bn of benefit cuts, here's a big long list of places where they could make far more money.
£42bn from ending Brexit.
£80bn Bank profits, even a 10% tax is £2bn more.

There is an alternative to Government welfare cuts - a 2% tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach to tax - take more from the few not the many.

4m people will face real-terms income loss.
Even those with extreme disabilities in the unfit to work category are likely to lose money.
Inflicting misery is a political choice.
