Whatever "concessions" the government offers, it won't be enough if benefit cuts remain.
Too many disabled people already miss out on support. Too many live in poverty.

this thread is the best book I’ve read all year and my key takeaway is that Pope Leo may have used his first homily to declare war on the US bishops council’s right-wing ghoul caucus

People are like "is the Pope left wing or right wing?" and I hate to break it to you but you cannot place a Pope's politics onto a simple line like that. In fact, the kind of space onto which you can plot the politics of a Pope requires a degree in Quantum Physics to even begin to understand.
