The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

To anybody building up to outrage about Rachel Reeves maybe breaking a manifesto pledge, here's a handy list of the pledges the Tories broke. I don't remember a media frenzy about any of these broken promise.

The path from abusing foreigners to abusing the disabled is well-trodden. I I hope this nugget is bright enough to reflect on who else has walked it.
Reform UK’s Lee Anderson wants to bring back the ‘invalid carriage’.
The Invacar was banned from English roads in 2003 over safety fears after some overturned and others caught fire.

So not only have Labour been pivotal on the world stage they’re delivering for the homeless, protecting homes/businesses from flooding and slashing delays to get housing built. All in a normal week under a Labour government. Oh and the economy is still outperforming most, bar US

It is the duty of our media to inform and report on the bad actors who threaten our very existence. Russia, Iran, the Taliban, Farage, Robinson, Tice, Reform. Yet they won’t and they don’t. Because they’re on the take too. There is no other reason. None. They’re all traitors.

In the late 19th century, millions of migrants left Germany as a result of religious persecution, economic hardship, and political uncertainty.
