Proud to support a Party who are making serious inroads into child poverty. Who gave us Hillsborough Law. Who protect the rights of renters and workers. Who help families with childcare and who are raising the Minimum wage yet again.
They’re worried about Starmer. He’s a winner

Starmer and Reeves have a 10 yr plan. I like their plan. I don’t expect it to materialise in 16 months. And I don’t expect it to be without its challenges. I also accept external factors will play a part. That’s why it’s a 10 year plan.

I consider myself a patriot. I will support the decisions that Reeves makes in the Budget. Because she’s way better than Kwarteng, Hunt, Sunak, Javid and the stable heating Chancellor and that one who owed HMRC £5m (or is that the same one?)

Their mansions won't be targeted, they won't be jailed but their net worth will increase.
