It’s delivered economic destruction, poverty,isolation &🇬🇧being so weak they’ve to suck up to trumps 🇺🇸 & sell off nhs. Same WMcolonialist bigotry that pushed ⬇️ to create the 🇮🇪 genocide
#TheCostOfColonialRacism
Plenty of compassion though for Labour’s donor pals in the “Non-Dom community”, and bonuses for greedy bankers
🏴🇪🇺
Seems like a logical, if unpopular in the short-term.
the reckless actions of Hunt & the previous gov't have to be cleaned up too.
It is costing 330bn or @ 1/3rd of gov't budget.
Who won the election, how many reform council & elections of any kind have they won since the GE?, they have 20% fewer MPs now.
How many leaders have the tories had since the election & how is it going with the new one?
Labour is a broad church😆
Now if they're all as insignificant as you say, why are Labour letting them dictate government policy again?
you ppl are fucking stupid.
this country has 200 billionaires. tax them.
Big Fan of Nazi Germany too?
It's also a position that ignores the Labour right's history of immiserating benefit claimants, that's existed since it basically carried on Majors DWP policy.
Who cares? They're wrong and in the toilet
That's even more cynical than the whole original immoral policy.
Try this:
"It is estimated that through the Government’s proposed Personal Independence (PIP) cuts, between 800,000 and 1.2 million Disabled people will lose between £4200 and £6300 a year by 2029 to 2030 (Resolution Foundation, 2025)."
....
try these. Independent minded reporting.
Fascism, hyperbole alert.

By any metric (Hannah Arendt, Umberto Eco's Ur Fascism etc), that is a hallmark of Nazism.
If you find this upsetting, you should probably reevaluate your moral compass.
Entirely your personal opinion. Winter fuel allowance framed in same way. What happened?
Almost as if modern neoliberalism is constantly creating the necessary precondition for Fascism?
Keep thinking, you'll get there 👍👍
Have you seen just how vast, inefficient & constantly increasing those budgets are / of the total.
Until UK productivity, HMRC + int'l tax rules, jobs quality (all long-term) are improved, more personal tax has the opposite effect.
This is what Rachel Reeves said in 2013
She's just enacting the cuts to benefits she talked about wanting 12 years ago. Its just "opportunistic," right?
She knew in 2013 this would be the political landscape in 2025 and was just setting up her plans, right?
As someone pointed out, population continues to age, the cost continues to grow, the people left with the cost burden increasingly struggle.
See graph. Every other slice is tiny, population still aging & those supporting it increasingly pressed.
tax the rich, definitely but in the end people need to see it working & benefit from it or will avoid it.
See N Europe for details.
I'm rooting for you, buddy! 👍
Given the size of those budgets, @5bn isn't gutting.
Forgotten what they are also doing in a really difficult financial situation?
Perhaps, the UK should vote for a much more left wing gov't which last happened in the mid 70's.
Tax the rich.
Failing that, eat the rich.
you - "ackshually it's 4d chess"
another political dinosaur.
Any tory stories about pensioners freezing to death from reduced winter fuel allowance? Any?
how many?
Really don't get your argument
My son saw his DLA increased by the massive sum of 1,7%, inflation has been over 3% last year, so, it's a real workd cut in value. How will this cut help him get employment ?
As i said they should fund both
In fact, in real terms, they're being cut.
So, let's not pretend this isn't any more than penalising the disabled. Frankly, at least the tories are honest bastards.
My partner and I have left the party.
