Finally, MONTHS after the disabled community and our advocacy groups WARNED about the devastating impact of Labour's CUTS to welfare, the Liberal establishment have woken up to just how utterly depraved the political choices made my Kendall, Reeves and Starmer are. About frakking time!

This essentially represents a third of the parliamentary Labour Party.
The only thing preventing Starmer being ousted over this is whether the Hack Pack can be arsed to do it or not.

Our housing crisis had been deliberately engineered by successive governments more interested in commodifying housing - making the rich richer and the poor poorer - than providing everyone with a decent home. Zack's right on the money here (ahem!).

I think part of what is always missing from this story is that farm labor is inherently seasonal, and so you either have to pay local people so well in the busy season that they can survive the winter, or employ workers who live a more transient lifestyle who winter somewhere cheap
I was told white people needed jobs. I'm sure they'll love this one.

It's great news that this profoundly selfish landowner has been beaten in court, and many congrats to the National Park and those supporting it.

Several friends have told me in recent years that *insert country* is immune to the far-right, and yet just a few years later they are surging in the polls in each of those places. We still don't talk enough about the supercharged hatreds that algorithms have pumped into our society.

His war on the living world - and those who seek to defend it - won't advance our wellbeing by one iota. On the contrary, it will greatly reduce our welfare. This war is waged at the behest of corporations and oligarchs, and an inner circle of Labour power-brokers whose mission is to appease them.

Given that we’re a nation of nature lovers, whose conservation charities are among the world's biggest membership organisations, Keir Starmer’s repeated attacks on voters who want to protect the living planet, calling us “time-wasting nimbys”, “blockers” and “zealots”, is frankly idiotic.

For all the blanket coverage it's getting today you wouldn't know that fishing contributes a grand total of 0.03% to the UK's economy, or that it is absolutely dwarfed by many other sectors, like the live music industry, which have been badly hit by Brexit but are rarely even mentioned
