Labour’s incredible Black Friday deal, breaking manifesto policies is buy-1-get-1-free. As part of its all-promises-must-go drive, it’s ditching its flagship policy giving the right to claim unfair dismissal from day 1 of employment. Employers now have up to 6 months to sack workers

We've already screwed the country through Brexit. Now we want to entirely cripple it through denying access to sufficient people to actually get the economy moving.

Let’s not forget that it was Trump who handed the country over to the Taliban. Biden was President when the deal actually came to fruition but it was all Trump’s doing. During his first ‘I’m going to stop all wars and fuck the consequences’ phase.

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.

It looks like that BBC page has been updated in the last few minutes, so that's no longer the last sentence. I think part of it has been moved to this paragraph in the middle of the article, and the age is no longer mentioned:
