You were right all along Jeremy.

New party is needed: that truly believes in core Labour values, one that is not afraid to hold Israel accountable for its war crimes, one that doesn’t punish pensioners & disabled coz it’s too scared to stand up to super rich. More than a few Labour MPs will join if you lead!

Corbyns biggest weakness is his refusal to help create a new political force. When he leaves Politics his legacy could very well be a muted voice of reason.

Trouble is, many people who would be our allies would be put off because they have swallowed the smear campaign and still believe it. It needs a fresh face. Clive Lewis, perhaps, or John McDonnell. Mick Lynch, even.

If we lose our PIP we would rapidly become insolvent We are barely keeping heads above water as it is. It is utterly terrifying what this government is proposing

It’s more than cruelty it’s anti democratic to exclude a section of the population and give them hardship over those who can afford it, including big corporations and oligarchs. Are we learning nothing from the state of the USA?

Thank you for speaking out for us Jeremy!

I just wish you wouldn't work with the mirror. Their media group (Reach PLC) are responsible for the most egregious campaign of click/traumabaiting welfare claimants. Every day there is a new article with a title trying to panic us into clicking.

I genuinely consider their content as part of the hostile environment the government has created around disabled people out of work. They are handed press releases from the government and mine them for the most alarmist framing they can.

It needs to stop!

Both completely ineffectual minor taxes which raise next to nothing. Wealth tax, overhaul of inheritance tax, closing of loopholes and increase on inheritance tax would make a much bigger difference

They consider us "useless eaters" they want us dead, the red Tories are inhuman monsters that don't deserve peace.

They say they want to 'save money'

.. at a certain point, if the Governments provide nothing, it becomes obvious they are just a Military with a PR team

sixesalltheway.bsky.social•21 hours ago

The government's 'books' don't need to be balanced: government isn't a business & does not operate like one (or a household) at all.

Govt can create as much money as it needs at will with the only limit being inflation which in turn is controlled by tax: tax the rich to protect the most vulnerable.

stonia2.bsky.social•20 hours ago

If only the journalists understood this. All day BBC radio presenters have been misrepresenting with comments like "but as a nation can we afford the welfare bill". FFS!

There's more than enough resources for everyone it's just we allow a tiny minority to control 99.9% of it.

I am disabled and rely on it. Tax the billionaires instead. Starner is a pure bred anti semite right wing arsehole

lynnejonesorguk.bsky.social•17 hours ago

If people were genuinely going to be supported into work, the benefits bill would automatically reduce without these cuts (counterproductive to the aim in any case). Why isn’t the Government being grilled about this?

All those false allegations against you were for this purpose - its horrific

A disabled friend of mine was recently let go by his employer. He is desperate to continue working and has applied for 51 jobs in the last few months. All rejections!

dmoscotia.bsky.social•16 hours ago

This is why many Labour Politicians worked to get you removed as Leader, because once in power they wanted to do this & knew you wouldn't do such cruel hateful things.

clearlight.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I’m pretty sure the government thinks tax cuts for oligarchs are more important

The voters were conned.

Hard Right Labour are far worse than Tories, they’re closer to the neoreactionary fanatics around Trump than they are to the lazy, incompetent corruption of a Boris Johnson

arrrrjobe.bsky.social•14 hours ago

They are coming into a post austerity world and offering more austerity. Starmer is just a slightly more apologetic Cameron
