There is actually something really beautiful and revealing about a new government coming in after 14 years and effectively declaring their own complete powerlessness. It's like something from Orwell. 4/8
Rob Rinder; "Buckingham Palace pays as much in council tax as a terraced house in Blackpool. Does that sound like a Labour Party policy that you would want to defend?"
Darren Jones explains that's just how it is & Labour have no plans to change it #GMB
The British people deserve better than Starmer's Labour.
Although it may feel like there isn't much choice at the General Election, independents and left coalitions are surging.
Be bold and don't vote Labour.

When we say "tax the rich", we're not talking about doctors, lawyers, and small business owners.
We're talking about the 2,365 people that made $4 trillion in the pandemic.
Instead of competing over who can be the cruelest to people fleeing war, how about we focus on:
โ Funding the NHS
โ Fixing the housing crisis
โ Clean & cheap energy
โ Nationalising utilities
โ Worker's rights
Etc etc.
Reeves: "Why do we focus on economic growth?"
Babe, economic growth for WHOM?!?
When the UK Stock Market was at its all time high (2023), living standards were at their LOWEST since records began. Growth for WHO??
It's economic growth for the rich, and starvation for the rest.
"Inclusive Thatcherism" means that now EVERY working person regardless of gender, ethnicity, or sexuality can get robbed blind by the 1%.

Shadow Chancellor of party named "Labour" compares herself to most anti-worker PM in recent history.
Britain remains in the grip of a collective fever dream.
