Serving an IPP sentence is like walking on eggshells that are scattered over a minefield.

Kier Starmer's digital ID proposals are a terrible idea from our perspective.

There's already more than enough hassle navigating the system as it is.

Often, people who are homeless or living a difficult life dont have a basic phone, let alone regular digital access.
Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards
We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

Surely it's time for a Nationalised drugs company which makes not-for-profit medicine for the health of the British people? We need to free ourselves from the greedy parasites.

Conservative Party Conference

"We want to help people who want to get ahead in life"

The same old false meritocratic nonsense that has been disproven by most of the leading thinkers of our age.

Meanwhile at the Conservative Party conference...

"Helen has found an extra 23 billion pounds of welfare savings"

What a gal 🙄

Imagine a welfare system even more cruel than the current one.

Not a mention of wealth taxes. How odd

It's a real problem in Politics. I have sent correspondence to many MPs over the last 25 years and maybe 75% of the time they don't reply and 99% lack an understanding of people's reality or hardships.

When I sent a copy of my Outsiders book documenting homelessness to every member of Labour’s top team in 2023 not a single one even replied. When I invited every Labour MP to a guided tour of the Outsiders exhibition in Parliament in January last year only one attended and nobody else even answered.

This is an appalling indictment of UK society in the early 21st century

A paradise for the rich, but a hell-hole for those at the bottom, who are left to fend for themselves or die

Utterly disgusting

Donald Trump tries to smear Greta Thunberg for Israel.

“She's a troublemaker, she has an anger management problem, I think she should see a doctor she's so crazy.”

He's only making everyone love her more.

Conservative MP Mel Stride claims PIP benefit is thousands of pounds per month.

No it is an absolute maximum of £720 a month, and most people only get £250 or less.

Meanwhile he claims £1,250 a month in rent on his expenses

Richest 1% has more wealth than 70% of UK population combined.

Top 20% own two-thirds of wealth, receive 36% of income.

Bottom 20% own 0.5% of wealth, receive 9% of income.

Can't grow economy or have social stability.

Poverty is political choice. Which political party wants to address this?
The government must ensure fair distribution of income

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

Tories and Reform want to quit the European Convention on Human Rights.

Since 1980, the ECHR court has heard 29 cases of immigrant deportation. UK won 16. No defeats in the last 5 yrs.

Quitting ECHR won't fix illegal immigration, will destroy our freedoms and rights.
