Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary."

Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%?

When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

For like the zillionth time: Libraries are FREE for you, but WE still get compensated for our work!!
Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

I'm in her demographic group of people she wants in office.

I'm also fiercely an advocate for our multicultural society.

She does not speak for me.
Lucy White - a regular GB News and Talk TV contributor - advocates that British-born people of Indian ethnicity or family heritage should also be banned from public office too.

The racist commentator specifies Rishi Sunak and Priti Patel as examples of people she would ban from office in Britain.

Labour won't win back voters either. We can see what they're doing for what it is: a cynical attempt to stop the loss of support.

But they still are looking at policies most find abhorrent for the undeniable cruelty behind them.

This £5m works out at £1.16 per pupil in Secondary schools in the UK. So maybe 1 book for every 6-7 pupils…?

They are playing

“sounds-a-lot-of-money”

just like the Tories did.
Rachel Reeves earmarks £5m for secondary school libraries. Less than £1,200 per school.

You couldn’t even replace the carpet for that.

Despite the Government planning to scrap the Work Capability Assessment, they've committed themselves to enforcing more punitive WCA assessments in the mean time.

Even by their own logic, how does this make any sense?

To combat bird flu spread, other countries have authorized poultry vaccines. The U.S. hasn’t, amid political and economic pushback.

Without a vaccine, experts say the virus poses an escalating threat: “The minute it transmits to humans, it’s done.”

Motability scheme has been changed to make it less supportive and more like commercial leasing.

In other words, the right-wing politicians and media say jump, the Labour Government says how high?
