I hate Musk, X, Trump, Putin, China, Tories & corrupt political Parties. Labour has now joined the above list. It is taking dirty right-wing money from private healthcare, etc & is hurting the poor. Cuts to PIP etc, are ideological & will cost more!

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it.
Yes, they might.
And he should wear it as a badge of honour.
Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet.
Where's the hazard in that?

To understand the context of Sir Brian Leveson’s call for restricting jury trial, look at the terms of reference.

The government wouldn’t let him recommend increased funding.

Akin to demanding a solution to starvation that doesn’t include food.

And the recommendation being to chop off body parts.

Watered down welfare bill passes after concessions to rebels

Starmer made bad calls.

Winter Fuel Payment
Two child benefit cap
Disability benefit cuts
Snooping on benefit claimants' bank accounts

All to appease the rich. No principled foresight or leadership.

It gets worse. Reeves is crying because she has failed to take money from PIP claimants. No tears she'd from failing to take money from those that can afford to pay. Labour has really lost its way!

If the Senate's budget is enacted, millions will lose health insurance, millions will fall into poverty, and the national debt will increase by $3.3T.

All of this to provide a major tax cut mainly to the rich and big corporations.

There is no justification for this.

May 2025: median wage of a UK worker, £30,252; net £25,293.

In 2024 (2025?) a single person needed to earn £28,000 for minimum acceptable standard of living; £69,400 for a couple with two children.

Low incomes, unchecked profiteering blights life.

50 families have more wealth than 34m Britons.

Wrong. Listen to the poor, sick, disabled; your backbenchers.

Govt can cut corporate welfare, tax the rich. HMRC didn't collect £46.8bn of taxes last yr.

Majority of children will be overweight or obese in nine areas of England by 2035.

Yet no penalties on food producers adding extra fat, salt, additives, chemicals.

Poverty forces people to junk food. Playgrounds/parks sold, libraries closed.

So, Farage calls criticism of his latest batshittery “nonsense” but also says he’s not clever enough to answer questions about it. Because that’s how voters get treated now. With total contempt. Fed unserious populist garbage because it’s easier than thinking and it winds up the libs.

Why pursue this cruel cut? Govt backtracked on Winter Fuel Payment.

Rebellion will grow, people will be alienated.

Govt finds money for wars, corporate welfare/bailouts; tax concessions to non-doms and private equity. But not for poor, disabled.

“Benefits”- 42% of day to day gov spending.

Of that, 44% is *state pensions*.

34% is universal credit, which largely tops up substandard wages.

24% is disability and sickness allowances.

8% is housing benefit.

5% is spend on child benefits.

Which do people want to cut?

To fund Trump’s expiring tax cuts for the wealthy, the GOP is proposing a massive $715 billion cut to Medicaid. They’re calling it reform, but make no mistake: it’s just another transfer of wealth from those who have the least to those who have the most.
