study after study after study shows that literally just handing people money and telling them "do what you want with this" reduces homelessness, increases food security for children, makes it more likely people will find and retain jobs.1

3. ⁠this is not the moment for an incredibly expensive increase in state surveillance infrastructure to be run for profit by private tech firms just before Labour ushers in an (even more) authoritarian right wing government.

Labour losing Runcorn was avoidable and as much a result of our party’s failures as Reform’s rise.

Now, we need to learn the right lessons, not double down on the same mistakes.

Cutting disability benefits and scrapping the Winter Fuel Allowance made voters abandon us. [1/3]

Speaking truth to the BBC about its role in promoting Farage and far right politics, fact-checking claims about immigration and holding them to account for not getting it right./1

In conclusion, if we end with Reform councils, there will be thousands of words written about What This Means For Morgan McSweeney and Kemi Badenoch and far fewer written about the politics of bins and council tax. Then everyone will move on and local govt will continue its death spiral unhindered

although obviously some preservation of the global supply chain is important and question marks over policy uncertainty they are important too, I think we shouldn't lose sight of the most important fact which is that the orange guy absolutely crumbled and gave up like the massive loser he is.

This is a reminder that you can oppose 1) antisemitism, 2) the Gaza genocide, 3) the October 7 attacks, and 4) the current assault on universities, at the same time, and with no contradiction.

New billboard in Clacton, Farage’s constituency. He’s still the UK’s #1 grifter. No other MP takes more from second jobs while being employed to represent their constituents in Parliament

As this government came to power I and many others urged them to scrap the two-child benefit limit, which would instantly have taken 250,000 kids out of poverty.

Not only did they not do that, their policies will now push a further 250,000 people (inc 50k kids) into poverty. Deeply demoralising.

How easily we take for granted what has got better, how much our political discourse calls regulation a cost when there were reasons behind all of it, and how we rarely hear the stories of success.

"We are not going to come forward with a wealth tax"
Labour spelling it out for anyone who had any doubt.

Squarely in the corner of the richest. Refusing to tax assets & property anywhere near as high as they tax people in work. The poor will have to pay again.
