Alternatives to reforming the system?
Siding with Putin totally discredits them and we should be ignoring Amnesty as an organisation until it disappears from the face of the Earth.
There are hundreds of other organisations who are looking at poverty issues, amplify them!
We might be cripples but we're not fucking stupid.
And you are correct they are choosing not to do so just now and thats down to cost.
Reversing every single policy in one go is just not feasible.
Let’s see what happens over next few years before we judge.
Under Labour Bl;air we didn't even have food banks we just had a system of applying for an emergency giro which was so fraught with inbuilt problems you could hardly ever qualify for one.
Labour only care about the employed the "workers" so they only ever focus to improve employment rights.
Neither party is the party of Welfare/ Social contract
Because at one time, THIS was their actual policy.
Now, it's the opposite.
They should just change their name to TORY and be done with it.
Not the Labour government I expected
