This is Labour’s poll tax. Its tuition fees. It is - as Iraq was for Blair - the moral stain that will mark Starmer’s government and the party for years to come. Severely disabled people are going to be starved, isolated and degraded. No Labour MP who backs this will be forgiven.

Elon Musk’s X stands to benefit financially if the UK govt pulls £800m tax on US tech firms to appease Trump. X, Facebook, Instagram get pay-off for supporting Trump, paid by welfare cuts in the UK. What would Trump demand next? UK on bended knees, behaving like the 51st state.

If it weren't for Brexit, Rachel Reeves would have another £50 billion in her purse; plenty enough to boost the NHS, welfare, and infrastructure, and allow for some tax cuts. What a happier and more optimistic Britain that would be. That's the price of the delusional idiocy of Brexit. #RejoinEU

This starter pack is growing! We are on dangerous waters: pandemic, the rise of fascism, social inequality, corporate takeover, racism, fascism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, environmental devastation, genocide, war, etc. Social justice is our only hope, and we want and need real change.

Today is #LongCovidAwarenessDay over 3.1 million are suffering in the UK. Why do Labour not mention this, the real cause of high sickness absence levels? Why does neither Phillipson or Reeves talk about this? Disabled people are taking the blame for mishandling of IPC. #covidisairborne

📢 The UK government is talking about making HUGE cuts to disabled people’s social security. Disabled people are already three times more likely to face hunger, and these cuts risk pushing even more people to food banks.

All Labour MPs have reportedly been called in to Downing Street for talks with Starmer about the expected disability benefits cuts. If you have a Labour MP, this is the time to email them. Tell them your objections. Tell them your experience.

“That a Labour government is seemingly willing to sacrifice poor and disabled people’s benefits in order to protect the wealthy and healthy from paying a bit more tax feels at best perverse and, at worst, a betrayal.” My col. in tomorrow’s paper. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

“When you’re raped there is shame, and it’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them. It’s true that I hear lots of women, and men, who say you’re very brave. I say it’s not bravery, it’s a will and determination to change society” - Gisèle. What a woman.
