This is the plan Number 10 is surprised isn’t working: “Instead of delivering on the priorities of the people who actually voted for us, we’re going to loudly pledge to deliver for the people we feel *should’ve* voted for us, even when they’re fully offensive to our actual voting coalition”

We’re watching fascism evolve in real time. It’s terrifying how quickly rights and protections can be dismantled.
(5) Do you display “hostility towards traditional views on family, religion, and morality”?
Any of this will get you on Bondi's list of “groups or entities engaging in acts that may constitute domestic terrorism.
“Terrorism,” being the magic word that strips you of all sorts of legal protections.

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”
A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.
It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.
Since then, it’s only gotten worse.

I’m sure these donors believe Reform is best for our country, and not at all that it’s the party that will allow them to amass the most personal wealth by whatever dubious means and to hell with everyone else.

Why aren’t people being paid enough to live on? Isn’t this just a subsidy to businesses who underpay their staff? And if so, let’s call it what is.
70% of the additional spending from removing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work. This is targeting support for low-income working households who are being priced out of a decent standard of living despite doing everything asked of them.

WTF is wrong with Labour? Has noone in the cabinet learnt anything from 1930s Germany, or what’s currently happening in the US?
