Just one success. He destroyed the Labour Party. I can't see anyone left who can turn it around (and that includes Burnham, Khan, Miliband, McDonnell . . . ) too toxic a legacy of false AS claims, continuing austerity, pandering to vested interests, facilitating a genocide . . .

To be fair, at GB 'News' they're really good at avoiding reality and the obvious! Provided it doesn't fit a far right agenda! If they acknowledged the impact of austerity, Brexit and the impact of far right 'Think Tanks' with secret doners (secret revealed- big oil,obscene wealth)- they'd be done!

The real problem with Blue MAGA Liberal thinking is that they believe there is a Pathway of return to the very Status Quo Neoliberal Austerity Policy that got us here in the first place. There is not. It is not about winning elections, it is about stopping any movement to the Left. #Bipartisanship

Of course she welcomes it. It means she gets to do the budget austerity her closest backers want to do anyway. But now they get to blame some outside force for making them do it.

The constant threat of a fiscal administrator is just as bad as an actual fiscal administrator. Will mean the same austerity policies get implemented. But technically will be implemented by the elected mayor and council

Y'all, I didn't realize how bad this budget motion in Vancouver was until I watched the Council meeting for the last 15 minutes. It's fundamentally massive austerity sanitized through bureaucracy.

A deficit of $200 million+. Layoffs of nearly 1k employees. Restrictions on travel and more. In ways big and small, USC is slogging through an austerity campaign that has tested the moneyed university. What will the school look like on the other side? Our deep dive: www.latimes.com/california/s...
USC interim president is 'optimistic' despite unprecedented financial crisis

The palace have now confirmed what a lot of us were really concerned about… Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor WILL have a hyphen… strikes me as downright profligate with punctuation!

VVD and Finnish NCP are literally the same, austerity politics driven parties that claim to be for good financial politics and them needing to be elected to save the nation from fiscal ruin despite having been the ones in power continuously since the 90s and having been causing it all themselfs.

But that's not the only explanation, is it. You can't claim that BBC bias is the primary reason the Tories won, followed by Starmer's Labour and now Reform polling high. There's other factors, the political fall out of the 2008 crash and subsequent austerity comes to mind as one.
