Current Affairs The Labour Party

[PSB1]

And won't she also now have lost that as she's moved to No.11?

Must have a whip round for her.

I wonder if any socially minded individuals have thought of opening up private spaces to the public for use as "warm spaces" this winter given the loss of libraries across the UK since 2010 and also the loss of community centers.

They were quite successful in 2022.

I'm sure some of those that might have somewhere like a pub handy, who wouldn't get out of bed for a measly £300, could look into it.

In a fair society, the young and the elderly are looked after by the tax payer. This government might be riding on a labour ticket, but couldn't be any further from the social values labour once had. I say that as a 30 year old worker with my own financial commitments.

Which bit of “I didn’t vote Tory “ did you not understand….

The part where you’ve continuously voted conservative and defended other conservative governments through a spate of welfare cuts.

And damn near hoovered poor lovely boris inside out. (getting a comment that 'sucked' is a 77% chance of profanity, so used hoovered instead)

Can’t remember the same furore when millions of children were forced into food poverty during the 14 years of Tory rule. Foodbank usage through the roof, diseases like scurvy making a return due to malnutrition. Homelessness higher than ever before, with rules to make it illegal to sleep on the street wanting to be introduced by little Richi, nowhere near the same amount of uproar.

In fact, I’m sure there were calls for people to grow their own food and to cancel Netflix subscriptions, not drink fancy coffees and to get rid of phones, to help feed their family, as this was all a ‘waste of money’.

Take £300 a year off a load of pensioners who are not on pension benefits, despite a £900 rise in state pension, and it’s suddenly the worst thing that’s happened to the country in decades.

Don't forget turnips, they had big ideas for them.
brexit benefit bonanza
that guy that got the top job at the bbc who just so happened to guarantee a loan* for boris to the tune of £800k
why wasn't may jailed for the windrush crimes?
Rashford
Grenfell
Post office
saudi using raf pilots?
water companies
peerage for son of kgb agent.

the sleaze is endless.

 

[Ming the Merciful]

Regardless of age, the wealthiest in society need to take more of the financial strain to get us out if the mess that Brexit and the Tories have got us into.

The fact by and large they voted for both does induce a certain amount of schadenfreude admittedly.

Absolutely made up this passed.

"I've paid in all my life" they moan, even though it's factually accurate that when it comes to pensions the money they've paid in has already been paid out to the generations before them, and the money that's supporting them now is what today's workers are paying in (and getting less and less back from).

So socialism good stuff

If you have ever checked you will find that I have always advocated a social approach….

 

[peteblue]

I take that as a no, you weren’t upset then. It was 2017.

It was actually 2015 and introduced in 2017…

My heart and best wishes go out to the poor soul surviving on this pittance……

Again, ‘which bit of I didn’t vote Tory’ do you not understand…take your time…..

 

[Rita_Poon]
