If you consider yourself a socialist and you are not wholeheartedly supporting our current Labour government then you are condemning our country to the same debacle we are witnessing in the US. Get your head out of your arses and see the big picture before it’s too late!
FINAL WARNING! ⚠️

Tories in chaos.

Jenrick sacked for plotting to defect to Reform.

Badenoch's leadership undermined. How much longer can she go on?

Trump is a terrible businessman and that should be said more:

"The enormous trade surplus for the full year came despite efforts by President Trump to use tariffs to contain China’s factories."

Not one single Newspaper has put our new found energy security on its front page. Whilst Iran and Greenland are hyper important of course, you’d think they’d mention Ed’s unmatched success for our country and us, as citizens somewhere.

But no. Our media are disgraceful

Another Labour success to add to the list!

They have run a 'Further Faster 20' programme to try and cut NHS waiting lists in areas with the highest joblessness to help people be treated sooner and help them back in to work.

The result? Waiting lists have fallen 3 times faster in these areas.

The media, Badenoch, Davey and Polanski need to educate themselves as to what a ‘Public Consultation’ is.

Until then don’t talk about U Turns. They all look more stupid as each day passes.

I bet most employers will ask for digital ID as proof of the right to work in the UK because it's going to be the simplest, most efficient way of checking.

I suspect high levels of correlation between those opposed to digital ID and those prepared to hand over all their personal data to Elon Musk to use however he sees fit.

Just to be clear, amending a policy which is under consultation is not the same as ditching the policy completely. That's what was happening under Johnson, a policy was announced only to be ditched days later. There is no equivalence with what he did and what's happening under Labour.

One thing that has shocked me about everything that's going on... My mother is one of the most polite people, deeply kind, and never speaks ill of anyone.

She's actively prayed for the death of our petty tyrant. She wished for a painful end.

I've never heard her talk that way about anyone.

Having experienced Digital ID in Denmark, I expect that it will make life so much easier in so many ways that resistance will drop away shortly after implementation. Better to 'show and tell' rather than battle 101 hypothetical reasons why it's the 'end of days' according to the right wing media.

No one, repeat no one who ever wants the UK to rejoin the EU should be against the governments digital ID plans now.

Why? Because having digital ID is now a requirement for all EU members and if the EU were ever to join, we would need to set such a system up.

Anyone else remember Johnson standing outside number 10 saying he had a Social Care plan ready to go, that went the same way as the 40 hospitals and much more. So please don't compare Labour tweaking a policy to the Tories who delivered 3 manifesto pledges in 5 years.
