Right-wing politicians seem perfectly happy to inflict cruelty as a means to subjugate scapegoats, increase their own control & inflate their own personal wealth.

Funnily enough I don't remember reading similar front pages when Jeremy Hunt bought *seven* luxury seaside apartments from a Conservative donor, in breach of his government's own money laundering rules

Right-wing politicians are in the pockets of the wealthy.
They do as they're paid to do by cutting public services, subsidising low wages with UC, & lowering taxes for the rich.
In return, we subsidie their greed with revenue syphoned to tax avoiding companies through crony contracts for donors.

Not to mention the National Insurance payments the employers avoid by relying on the state to top up their workers' wages. Once you see what's happening, every angle just keeps making it look worse.

Most companies making vast profits also pay their staff pitiful wages.
Their staff end up claiming Universal Credit in order to survive.
UC is funded from taxation which the greedy companies (& wealthy tax avoiders) avoid paying.
Which means we're subsidising greedy parasites that buy politicians

Elected because Tories had created a shambles by neglecting everything they couldn't cut or steal, Labour inherited debt & failure.
So instead of making lives better, they've tried, & failed, to be more Tory than the Tories.
...Maybe it's time Labour were the Labour we wanted when we elected them.

Farage: We Brexiters don't want the UK to make deals with the forins...
Also Farage: Why won't the forins make deals with us...
I guess being a two faced grifter makes it easy for Farage to look both ways, hold opposing viewpoints, & simultaneously insist both are his position.

Nothing better sums up the threat to our democracy and country than this far right cosplaying champion of the working class lolling about in a Belgravia club and the Sunday Times giving him a megaphone to honk out his ruinous Trumpian populism to a public tired of govt failure (that he helped cause)

A 9th anniversary Brexit analogy.
Imagine the deals, benefits & freedoms the EU gave us were represented by a bowl of water.
Brexit meant the UK tipped out all of the water & we replaced the bowl with a sieve...
...& ever since, Brexiters have tried to convince us that Brexit still holds water.

Brexit is magic.
Somehow, it made all the wealth vanish into the pockets of the billionaires that conned the public to vote for Brexit...
...plus, it's consequences hide in plain sight & no one ever mentions the cause or questions how the wealthy got away with the Brexit scam.

If you're thinking of voting Reform & you or your family receive healthcare or take medicine, think again.
Reform will abolish free healthcare. It's their policy.
You'll need insurance but existing conditions aren't covered...& you'll pay the full manufacturer price for meds.

Imagine you employ a cowboy gardener named Nigel to reform your garden.
He imports toxic orange soil from the US, makes you pay extra for sunlight & rain, & destroys the garden but blames the neighbours.
& he's never around to do the work, but always appears when it's pay day.

That they only exist in the minds of Reform voters is irrelevant as reality & Reform don't inhabit the same space.

Reform highlight the vast cost of UC & draw attention to proposals to cut it from some claimants, but...
They don't mention that many need to claim while working full time just to afford food.
That's because many businesses (& Tory/Reform donors) avoid tax & pay minimum wage to increase profits.
