Imagine being a Labour MP and thinking that using "lefties" as a slur is going to win back voters. Not only have they lost all identity, they're also utterly clueless.
Yet another crap video from another Labour MP (Josh Simons) attacking me and "lefties."
Showing us exactly who they are.
They serve only power & weath.
2026 - the year of people power.

A Labour MP using the word "lefties" as an insult tells you a lot about the modern Labour party. A party that lost it's principles and it's ideas along time ago. Now it just runs on hubris.

And they will use it as an excuse to target people's disability benefits as they do in the UK.
YOU DUMB FUCKS. THIS IS ME.
I have a scooter. I can walk. I can't, however, walk through 80 miles of airport. I can walk onto an airplane or through hallways. I can't walk the .5 mile to the convention center.
People, get smarter, it's embarrassing at this point.

It could not be more clear that Russia poses an immediate threat to our democracy.
The govt must take this threat seriously, cracking down on dirty money in politics in the upcoming Elections Bill & conducting criminal investigations into Russian interference in our elections.

To be fair it is tough for Wes Streeting.
You know he is aching to butcher the NHS, laying open it's entrails for his private healthcare donors to feast on, and yet he also wants to be PM and being the most hated man in the country might make that harder.

I’m not worried that the AI bubble will herald the end of capitalism as we know it - or even the end of the AI boom.
