“We just want to help people work.”
That’s why we’re cutting PIP which enables many people to work.
And scaling back Access to Work.
Because… well… the goal was never inclusion.
It was disappearance. #TakingThePIP

If the producers of Question Time wanted a true representation of political views across the spectrum they could have a panel of Starmer 2016, Starmer 2019, Starmer 2021, Starmer 2023 and Starmer 2025.

Starmer is a fraud!

So much for manifestos which he bangs on about.

First they came for the Venezuelans.

And I was not a Venezuelan so I did not speak out.

THEN THEY COME FOR THE UNIVERSITIES,

THEN THE PRESS,

THEN THE JUDGES,

then protesters,

Then students,

then the tourists,

then writers,

then the pregnant,

then any citizen who complained.

Excruciating to hear Govt minister try to explain how expanding airport capacity won’t increase carbon emissions & drive #ClimateCrisis. It likely won’t even increase growth either given that corporate air travel is declining & 3 times as many tourists leave the country as come in. #BBCR4Today

Scary stuff! Stupid humans thinking democracy works when voters are uneducated!
1. In this thread, I try to imagine the best and worst scenarios arising from Trump’s presidency. I make no claims about probability. I’m not trying to forecast results, just to imagine them. We know it will be terrible, whatever happens. The key question is how (or whether) it ends. 🧵

The government has told elderly & disabled people to wait until 2028 to hear its plan for social care.

What about those who are suffering here and now?

We don’t need a commission to know what to do: end austerity, reverse privatisation and build a National Care Service for all.

It’s officially New Year’s Eve- I’m truly proud of you. For the hard days, the ups and downs, the weeks you beat yourself up for no reason, the days you smiled through the pain, and the times you told people it was okay when it wasn’t

But you made it. You’re still here, still fighting. Be proud 💙
