26 Police Officers were injured at today's riots but only 9 people were arrested.
Compare that with the peaceful Palestine Action protest where 0 Police Officers were injured but nearly 900 people were arrested.
The Government has got Law Enforcement ridiculously wrong.

Fucks me off how suddenly the right wing have noticed the decline in British town centres. Shame you didn’t notice when Tories slashed money for councils. Shame you didn’t notice Tories never delivered the “levelling up” they promised. Excuse me but where TF you been?

Hmm...these are Keir Starmer's pledges when he ran for leader of the Labour party.
If he had just kept them, he'd be the most popular PM in decades, the UK would be seeing significant growth & Reform would be declaring bankruptcy.
Instead he's appeased the RW & made himself & Labour unelectable.

The government was wrong to cut winter fuel payments.
It was wrong to keep the 2-child benefit cap.
It was wrong to slash disability benefits.
Pushing people into poverty is the wrong thing to do. The right thing to do is redistribute wealth and power so that everyone can live in dignity.

No Wes. You could have targeted the super rich with a wealth tax. Instead you've chosen to go after ordinary people. That tells us whose side you're on.
