There’s far less sleaze and corruption with this government, so they are better than the Tories… somewhat.

But they're not, are they? They are cutting support for the disabled and elderly deeper than the Tories, privatising and cutting the NHS deeper than the Tories etc etc. Objectively, they're worse. You're saying they're better than I'm imagining the Tories would be. Not the same thing.

Really wish makers of reality TV/panel shows etc wouldn't enable their quickchange career shifts tho;
After all the pain they've caused, they can get to fuck!
The only reality show that I sort of enjoyed seeing a politician on was the SAS who dares wins, when they gave the scum bag Matt Handcock a hard time. Otherwise, I really don't want to see them.
'No! Can you fuck!' (that was Danny Beard's actually response tbf)
It's just the start of the whitewash, then everyone forgets about the damage they caused.

I'm really pleased she's brilliant btw😊
There's a documentary about her on iPlayer if you're interested (Mhairi Black: Being Me Again). It has a few clips from the show 🙂
They are allowing the "right" to run the narrative that migrants have ruined everything when it was actually years of austerity.
The hope I had when voting for them has virtually disappeared
They are ignoring their normal voter base in the belief that they have to vote Labour whatever. That is a calculation that may come back to haunt them and the country.
I'm actually terrified right now because I won't be able to afford to pay for the roof over my head.

There is a list somewhere of the good things they have done - it's just the crap is a lot more obvious & unfair
I am scared about the disability cuts
So I am clinging onto the notion that Labour are having to do things they really don't want to. For now. And anyway, even the good stuff they've done is being portrayed as bad.
I'm deeply unimpressed!

The third claims benefits she does not qualify for and could easily work. 🤷
They've been dripping this information through for months & it's caused huge anxiety & some have already taken their own lives
Tories just performed to our expectations. That's their problem.
