Rachel Reeves says she’s ending “Motability tax breaks”.
Sounds like she’s cracking down on luxury cars, right?
That’s not what’s happening.
These changes raise costs for all disabled people on the scheme, including those with the cheapest cars.
Here’s how. 👇🧵

Good to hear Rachel Reeves finally attack the 2 child benefit cap - but if Labour were so much against it, why’s it taken them so long to scrap it? And why were Labour MPs suspended for saying *exactly* the same last year? There’s no moral high ground here #budget2025

If you need proof that when Reform UK politicians wave the 🇬🇧Union Flag🇬🇧, it's not patriotism, it's just manipulation.
The Reform Party leader, waving the Union Jack in this photo was literally a Russian Spy.

The silence about Nigel Farage's anti-Semitism from so many of those who attacked Jeremy Corbyn over his connections to anti-Semites is absolutely deafening. It's almost as if they were never actually bothered about anti-Semitism, isn't it?

What we are witnessing is the rise of the ABC - the Average British Cunt.
They’ve always been around, the ABCs. A dull, resentful, grumbling presence in the background of national life.
But now they’ve been radicalised, organised, mobilised. The ABCs dictate the agenda about literally everything.

Dale is right of course however, I fear the likes of Farage, Tice etc have made the subject of immigration so toxic that a sensible, reasoned debate is out of the question.
Fact is we need some balance in the ‘debate’ on immigration - studies show that people coming here are more likely to work and pay tax than the gen pop - and they make a net economic contribution.

What the Labour Party used to understand was that it wasn’t that immigration was tearing the country apart, but that immigration was what was holding the country together. Immigration kept our NHS going, our transport system going, our education and much more.
