A bunch of sycophantic "Labour" MPs have published a statement saying that starving the poor and sick instead of taxing the rich is the way forward. I hope you didn't vote for any of these ghouls. I didn't. Still, it got the Tories out, right? Right??? - ThreadSky

The implication is that a lot of people are fraudulently claiming benefits, or that ‘the system’ is wrongly awarding benefits to people who can work.

Will we get a rerun of the Tory idea that Kevin down the job centre will assess fitness to work, rather than GPs?

paulblinkhorn.bsky.social•19 days ago

Yes, it's straight out the Tory playbook. Demonizing the sick and unemployed and blaming them for the problems caused by tax-dodging rich people. Tax-dodging robs us of far more money than benefit fraud.

Not sure where you’re coming from, but taxing those that can afford to pay to support those at the bottom of the ladder doesn’t seem a bad policy.

paulblinkhorn.bsky.social•20 days ago

Indeed, but what these ghouls are suggesting is the complete opposite of that.

Are you sure they aren't Republicans from the U.S.? Definitely related.

paulblinkhorn.bsky.social•19 days ago

It's getting hard to tell the difference for sure.

mokushima.bsky.social•19 days ago

as usual it's the monetarily poor who are targeted because heaven forfend the greedy rich are brought to heel

rufusredbeard.bsky.social•20 days ago

I think perhaps you mis-spelt "syphilitic" 😜

mickdundee59.bsky.social•20 days ago

Tory lites.The Labour Party that was created in 1900 doesn’t exist anymore .The current crop put on their do goody face spout word salad whilst stabbing you repeatedly.Bunch of knobheads.

paulblinkhorn.bsky.social•20 days ago

Exactly that. Tories who make a sad face while stamping the poor and sick into the mud.

mickdundee59.bsky.social•19 days ago

At least the Tories were open about their disdain for societies vulnerable.I nearly 🤮writing that.

floellaella.bsky.social•19 days ago

They're nearly all newbies too. Wankers

paulblinkhorn.bsky.social•19 days ago

Trying to arse-kiss their way up the greasy pole.

floellaella.bsky.social•19 days ago

Exactly.

Noted! 📝

Good to see my "Labour" MP isn't amongst them, (which is a surprise, since he doesn't seem to support wealth taxes either? .. Maybe he has not yet worked out what he's there for?) 🤷‍♂️

He seems to have no capacity to care, or think beyond "growth" and "building".
(.. Disappointing).

Fixed it for you:

I was surprised by this to be fair. I voted Liberal Democrats, but they will never get into office as they're middle ground and don't get the traction.

The second majority will be Reform, Paul

paulblinkhorn.bsky.social•20 days ago

I wasn't surprised in the slightest. Reeves told us years ago that she was going to do this and Starmer has purged any opposition to it from the PLP. But yes, Starmer is paving the way for a fascist gov't.

therealeeman.bsky.social•20 days ago

There is no foreseeable future with a fair alternative... there is no left wing opposition that can form a majority at this moment in time.

paulblinkhorn.bsky.social•20 days ago

Not at the moment, no, but there's plenty of time to organize. The establishment media and their shills will turn their full force on any credible left alternative that does emerge of course, it's what they do.

therealeeman.bsky.social•19 days ago

Nobody can easily identify with reasonable people

therealeeman.bsky.social•19 days ago

It's because there isn't a working class movement anymore, the right wing have turned everyone into nationalists and the left wing have become a condescending middle class
