More than 13 million people in Britain are living in poverty. The campaign to cut welfare (or other key public spending) is dishonest.
They should come clean. They are willing to push poverty even higher to fund an unnecessary surge in military spending.

The debate about British military spending begins with a premise, hardly ever challenged, that too little is spent on defence.
But the facts are very different.
Britain spends more on the military than every large economy in NATO, except the USA.

The Defence resignations have sparked a lot of nonsense about inadequate military spending.
Britain already spends an inordinate amount on military hardware.
Yet we have already become the world's 3rd largest spender on nuclear weapons, surpassing Russia.

In Belfast and Southampton the racist mobs are are not defending the victims. They are completely contradicting the wishes of the victims' families, for their own vile agenda.
Do not use our tragedy to fuel violent protests, says family of Belfast victim

These are not 'anti-migrant protestors'. They went house to house looking for foreigners and Black people to burn them out of their homes.
They are racist thugs carrying out a pogrom.

Lammy has documented the racism in the justice system himself. Now he wants to remove one of the few checks against it.
Limiting juries would lead to greater injustice.
Lammy's cuts to jury trials could have far-reaching impact on race relations, MPs say

We live in a society where racism is commonplace. Macpherson's call to tackle it were only ever partially taken up. 'Common sense' is a call for more racism not less.
'Common sense' cannot replace anti-discrimination as Badenoch claims, say legal experts

Some cheap politicians see a terrible incident,like the attack in Belfast or the death of Henry Nowak as an opportunity to promote their own rancid politics.
Others show real leadership, like this👇🏿.

Ending current equality rules is dangerous and divisive; a green light for all the bigots and racists.
This happens when your ambition is no greater than to be the Nick Clegg in a Farage-led government.

Anyone who has spoken to Labour voters or members over the last 2 years or more knows this to be true.
Labour supporters across the board are disgusted by support for the genocide.

Funding the NHS while increasing the role of the private sector is like trying to fill a bucket of water while drilling holes in the bucket.
It is what successive governments have done and it is patients who suffer.

One immediate response to these strikes is another sharp jump in the price of oil.
This means ordinary people in this country and elsewhere will have to pay even more because of the Trump/Netanyahu war.

It is completely the wrong priority, for jobs, for security and for the planet to cut funding in the drive to net zero to pay for the drive to rearm.

The Home Office, the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) and the College of Policing all need to accept the 2nd set of recommendations of the inquiry - and quickly.

Keir Starmer is right. US billionaires, Musk and Trump's State Dept., are blatantly intervening in British politics to whip up racism and support the growth of the far right.

Claims of two-tier policing against white people are a complete inversion of reality. Like other forces, the Hampshire police have a clear racist bias against Black people.
Police accused of 'anti-white bias' are 5 times more likely to stop Black people

The far right and fascists use street violence in support of their lie that white people are discriminated against. The should be conceding or pandering to them.
Who were the far right agitators in the Heny Nowak protests in Southampton?

Peole are denying the reality of racism in policing, just as the Met has done ever since the Macpherson report.
Now there is even the outlandish claim that two tier policing discriminates against white people - turning reality upside down.
