Starmer tells us how abhorrent child poverty is, how proud he is to scrap the two child cap & how politics is about choices
Last year you could have chosen to scrap the cap. Instead you chose to suspend 7 Lab MPs from the PLP for voting to scrap it. Youre treating us like idiots

Review judge pulled from Palestine Action hearing at last hour, in patent stitch-up
Having a ruling from a panel of three judges is a desperate attempt to create a veneer of judicial authority in support of the actions of Keir Starmer's outlaw government
