Why the need to keep punishing people for poor political decisions?
Time - particularly now - to correct those decisions, remove ruinous red lines and breathe life into the economy again.
There is no mandate *at all* to continue with Austerity in order to protect Brexit.

2 million people in UK had long covid in 2023
by 2024
3.1 million have long covid in the UK.
20% of them badly enough not to be able to work:
That’s 600,000.
#CleanIndoorAir
Find a cure for #LongCovid
As for choosing austerity for folks on sickness over taxing the prople who made billions from dodgy russion deals jesus wept
Eg An extra 2% for those earning over £100k & an extra 5% for those earning over £150k.
That's not too draconian.
Then a windfall tax on excess profits.
Put those red lines in the bin
I was turned down for multiple jobs.
The problem? I was 55.
So short-sighted of employers.
Stats show that older people take less time off sick overall. They have oodles of experience and knowledge.
Trouble is they want us working for free as volunteers!
Let’s defend a stupid idea, done v badly that’s costing us a fortune and is now more pointless than ever… And, instead, we’ll keep cutting public spending to desperately scrape together some cash.
It’s so mean and small.
Think bigger and better ffs. And to hell with the Daily Mail.
Someone get Reeves to read this:
1. Tax the very richest for the fastest £bn+ return (the 1% who leave UK don't pay anything here anyway, we won't miss them), and 2. Work to regain the £ & personal benefits of being in the EU.

ridiculous situation - in one of the richest countries in the world.
A deeper EU-UK trade deal would pay for much needed defence investment, rejoining the EU could pay for it all.

That's what Moggy and Farage promised us, after all
Austerity caused the rise of Farage, which caused brexit.
The lessons to be learnt from that seem crystal bloody clear to me, but, hey! what do I know 🤷♂️
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
What are the leavers gonna do if they did reverse brexit, leave ?
Fuck em, every single one of them.
It isn't even ideological because the phonies in this sham of a Labour Gov't have no ideas.
It is all about protecting and further enriching the establishment, their corporate donors and 'certain' foreign interests.
The government has some explaining to do on this one. We need MPs to bombard them with the hard questions.
Why not risk offending the better-off, for a change?
What would save billions is rent caps to stop torrents of taxpayers' money being handed straight over to wealthy parasite landlords.
