"We will always be on the side of working people", Farage's 'Letter to the Nation' says today.
What he neglects to admit is that Reform plans to cut £300+ billion from the public services that these "working people" rely on every day.

Wow the right-wing papers are really on a three line whip today
The predictable crushing uniformity of the coverage of this Budget tells you an awful lot about the priorities of those papers, and also why there's actually quite a lot to praise in it bylinetimes.com/2025/11/26/t...

I see all the headlines today refer to ‘Benefit Street’
What they don’t tell you is 60% of those on benefits are in work.
No outcry on those employers not paying enough or concocting hours to enable people to claim UC.
First it was immigrants. Now it’s those on benefits.

Badenoch is so incredibly unpleasant. Her response is nothing but personal attacks and describing support for kids in poverty as "hand outs". Grim.

The way disabled people have been vilified over PIP, as if they were trying to play the system, was disgusting & shameful
Hacks & commentators that engaged in the grotesque demonisation of disabled people should be ashamed.

Not saying this Guardian "game" is crap but after randomly messing around with taxes, sticking everything up, the polls went from bad to good just by clicking on the glass of whisky option. Surely it can't be that simple.

Given up. This is just symptomatic of the decades of incompetence, indifference, and absolutely no continuity of care. Not even a text to say the appointment was cancelled or it was running late. Now the anxiety will just drag on into a new day or days unless I start to complain, which you don't do.
