Labour losing one of its safest seats shows what happens when a government cuts disability benefits and winter fuel payments, keeps the two-child benefit cap, and panders to anti-migrant rhetoric:

Reform wins and always will.

This isn’t the change people voted for and it shows.

The economy should be run for productivity not profit.

Profit is the exact opposite of productivity, producing the least amount possible and charging the most for it.

See the China v USA for the best example.

Why can't you successfully crackdown on immigration?

Because the whole thing is a hoax and the people perpetuating it will continue to howl the country is being invaded until the last non-white person is deported.

That's why.
