You can go on TV and say the sky was made from recycled carrier bags by retired seamstresses in Portsmouth and if you are from a right wing think tank the news will report it as one side of a contested debate.

BBC lead with a Reform UK voter saying "We are not happy with these men in this hotel because we fear for our children”
We tell of the refugee children inside the hotel terrified by chants of “send them out!”

The richest 3 people have more money than the poorest 4 billion.
But the problem (according to those richest people) is the poor people.

I don't want Labour MPs to be 'uneasy' about a Labour Govt penalising the disabled instead of raising taxes on the wealthiest. I want them to be wracked with guilt and shame and questioning how they find themselves in a party that acts like the Tories.
