I have some suggestions for the unimaginative Reeves, who manages to fuck up the people who voted for her and still can't run an economy. You could financially beat up on some more poor people.... Or you could tax the very wealthy, a tiny bit more. #Reeves #Betrayal #DWP #PIP #Labour #TaxTheRich

Or we could plug the 5 Billion hole by taxing people who won't even miss it and many of them agree that they are under taxed. Not all wealthy people are uncaring, our Labour government seemingly are. Confirmation (as if any were needed) that these cuts are ideological. #DWP #UC #PIP #Kendall #ESA

Dear DWP claimants, the next time they have you in the job centre giving you shit about something you said and threatening to sanction your benefit payments just remember the "misspoke" get-out-of-jail-free card, doubly effective when played with the "I don't recall" gambit. #ThamesWater #DWP

#TakingTheFuckingPiss. We have to retain senior managers, yeah look what a top notch job the senior managers have done in the past. They might leave? That's terrible, don't let that happen, fucking sack them. This rewarding of failure is why we are all where we are. #ThamesWater #Failure #Bankrupt

Not the same, but be honest, the inclusion of the phrasing of "strangers" is no co-incidence, a calculated crumb thrown to the reform mob, there were many ways they could've made their point, to opt for that was deliberate with a deniability get out if things got heated, they did, cue deniability.

FFS, OK time to have an "MP's expenses" style revision of practice in the UK Parliament. No freebies, they're bribes, otherwise why offer them. No firms lending MPs staff or office help. No second jobs, being an MP should be full time. No subsidised bars. #HoC #Hoyle #Speaker #Bribes (1/2)

The optics of the "deal" are not particularly good for Kier Starmer. There's a difference between getting something genuinely useful for the UK and rushing out 1/2 done shite to basically give DJT something to call a win back home. Actually it's all a bit embarrassing. Find some fucking dignity.

Another move towards cultural isolationism. Tariffs? They're not all just bad economics, it's a way of forcing your message and your fantasy world/historical view on your population by restricting access to foreign culture, views and products. Kind of like North Korea then. #Hollywood #tariffs

I'm sick of politicians of all parties, not giving a shit when they sacrifice a group to appeal to the "majority" The sick and those with disabilities, they don't care about your vote. News for them, those people have people who love and care for them, share their lives, their worries. #DWP #PiP >

This is not new, nor should it be any surprise at all. The right are always whining on about the burden of the homeless, yet the REAL burden is these already wealthy landlords charging massively over the odds. It goes without saying that something should be done, but it won't happen. #homeless

Whose hope? Who wants a rushed deal of the type the Johnson excuse for a government were snatching at post Brexit which were entirely detrimental to our industry? If it takes years it takes years, why the need to rush? A bad deal is worse than no deal. #TradeDeal #Tariffs #Reeves #UKUSTrade #UK

Doom's rule number 124. Always choose the side of the side that isn't trying to coerce you into choosing their side. Rights laws, access to the NHS market and chlorinated chicken. Nah. Go elsewhere. #TradeDeal #Tariffs #UK #Reeves #USA #Vance #China #EU www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
