YOU HAVE TO MARVEL AT STARMER’S STUPIDITY.

Leave Johnson’s right wing appointees in charge of the BBC? The first thing any sane prime minister would have done is to clean out the stables, wouldn’t they? Not our Keir. He’s taken stupidity to a whole new level.

CAN STARMER GET ANYTHING RIGHT? IT’S YET TO HAPPEN!

And when it comes to Brexit? The world is shouting at him to get it undone. The evidence that it’s a catastrophe is overwhelming, but he’s immovable. Why? Because he’s an arrogant, obdurate fool. It’s time he went!

Universal Basic Income is automatic, unconditional, paperwork-free insurance we can actually use. It's always there—before, during, and after uncontrollable shocks occur. It's a non-withdrawable stable floor for a stable society. Want certainty? UBI delivers it; same amount, same date, every month.

And if you’re wondering who Labour is listening to? “Reeves boasted she hatched plan to rip down our nature protections over a “smoked salmon & scrambled eggs breakfast” with corporate lobbyists”. While Starmer’s resolve to kick down planning rules are result of his “conversations with leading CEOs”

Wage war on nature to build new homes: that’s Labour’s offer, but it’s a con trick | George Monbiot

The government’s new planning bill is tearing down environmental protections to benefit developers. This nation of nature lovers won’t stand for it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

BREAKING: Equinor has admitted that the massive Rosebank oil and gas field in the UK would cause vast climate damage.

*Pretends to be shocked* 😲

The UK government must STOP Rosebank, and instead focus on creating jobs in North Sea renewables!

If we had proportional representation we could vote for the party we believe in. For me the Greens. The far right are not the majority in this country, if our votes counted then we would have the chance to vote for decent politicians. The current option is right, far right or full on fascist.

What is ridiculous is to conclude correctly that Brexit is the source of economic pain and then do nothing to reverse it.

Well, for starters as Labour is in government they could reform the voting system to allow people to vote for the party they want, not the one they despise the least.
