Well done Labour
Anyone who thought you represented real change now despises you.
Anyone who didn’t, still won’t.
People who weren’t that convinced but hoped for the best are out of patience.
You’ve managed to turn off everyone.
Quite the achievement!

I voted to scrap the two-child benefit cap — and lost the Labour whip.
I voted against cuts to winter fuel payments.
And I’ll vote against any cuts to disability benefits.
I didn’t enter politics to toe the line. I’m here to fight for the working class.

Starmer is increasing military spending and handing out lucrative contracts to arms manufacturers whilst doubling down on cutting winter fuel payments and maintaining the two-child benefit cap.

Starmer to promise 'defence dividend' from UK military spending
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to promise on Thursday that his government will deliver a "defence dividend" for voters, framing an increase in military spending forced by a U.S. shift away from underwriting Europe's security as an economic opportunity.

See, the thing is, Reform don’t believe in the NHS. It’s no secret. They’re very open about it. They want a private health care system paid for by insurance much like the US system. BTW, defeated Mayoral Reform candidate Arron Banks has his sticky little fingers in umpteen insurance companies!

“Well everyone doesn’t use the Marxist definition of class” maybe they should. Maybe it would be better than vague abstractions leveraged to make people feel better. Maybe it would inspire more solidarity between people that are one cancer diagnosis and a job loss away from bankruptcy. Strange

It should be obvious by now that Netanyahu won't stop until every Palestinian in #Gaza (and perhaps the West Bank) has been murdered, maimed or expelled. He wants it all. Governments like ours should cut off all military equipment, diplomatic support and other relations until the genocide ends.

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting.
This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity.
These cuts are disgraceful - and they will cost lives.
