If you want a good indication for how absolutely out of touch with reality this government is proposed cuts to disability support would be a pretty good starting point. It is a vastly counterproductive policy which will force more people into poverty. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/ministers-ar... - ThreadSky

Looking at the background of some influential Labour MPs from poorer circumstances ….do they see their career advancement due to hard work , so others should follow their path . Forgetting other circumstances that can affect life chances .

Most of them are middle class and privately educated actually.

What PIP pays one person in a month is less than any of the politicians earn in a day.

That's why they think it an insignificant amount, but it is anything but insignificant to the person needing it.

By abandoning Socialism, Keir Starmer and his policies are just pushing voters to the extreme right.

Labour aren't going to win back voters by attacking marginalised groups, but they will continue to lose supporters through policies such as cuts to disability support. For all the shouting about "it's us or Reform" that isn't what most voters care about 👇 #r4today

I live in a very Tory area. The Tory pursuit of bigots has turned it into a Lib Dem bastion. I am stupefied that Labour have decided to plot the same course.

What exactly do the 20 odd % of racists contribute to the country that has made three political parties decide to ignore everybody else?

Chuck the quislings out of Labour would be a good start!

It's an in work benefit for many. Labour are framing it as a benefit for lazy people living millionaire lifestyles at home all day!

The Guardian's "End Times Fascism" reveals how far-right elites, from Trump to Musk, embrace survivalist authoritarianism—privatizing escape, eroding democracy, and making peace with mass death.

Only solidarity and collective resilience can defy their treason.
