The dark money ghouls who own these odious politicians see humans as nothing more than Human Resource Units, there purely to be used for profit maximisation.

If you want to create a docile, obedient nation, first attack the arts so you deskill children of critical thinking. Once you’ve done that the people can be moulded as their rulers please. Beware this barbarism. It’s a path to demagoguery and authoritarianism

Maybe if enough of us harass and tag @mrjamesob.bsky.social, he'll open his eyes and see the reality of Starmer and his vile, vicious, bought and paid for government. Then perhaps he'll return to being one of the few journalists who stand up for the little people.

People recognised as refugees fleeing persecution & granted the right to live in the UK to be denied the right to be joined safely by their spouse & children.

“I’m pleased to see that, after five years... some people involved in this national scandal are starting to face consequences. But we cannot claim to have moved on from the venal political culture that brought us the VIP lane until the ministers involved face consequences too.” goodlaw.social/f2e9

Because plunging people into abject poverty is a known way of improving their mental and physical health. Alternatively, asking greedy corporates and political donors to pay their share is known to reduce the affluent lifestyles of bought and paid for politicians.

Many of us went hoarse warning of this before the last election. Keir Starmer's Labour Party is an affront to Keir Hardie's Labour Party. They have nothing in common.

No. A wealth tax won't solve everything. No one ever said it will.

But until we begin to challenge the power & wealth of the 1% - then we know this Labour government has been bought and paid for.

Agree 100% Neil. It's why I call myself a pragmatic, progressive independence advocate NOT a nationalist. I wear no football scarf and have no time for ideologies or the blinkered fallacies on both sides.

SNP in government have done some fantastic things but they've also dropped the ball on many.

Listening to Reeves conference speech, I'm afraid this woman just fills me with anger. Her and her government have proven to be nothing less than an abject deceit and a thorough disappointment. I wish she'd resign, disappear into obscurity and take her nasty little boss with her.

I am more disappointed with @mrjamesob.bsky.social daily since this vicious, god awful English government came in.

Today he's building the case to support VAT rises which are proven to be harder on the poor.

Turns out he's not anti-tory. I's just the Tories he likes V the Tories he doesn't like.
