I don’t see Reeves sweating over this decision.

semaleena.bsky.social•26 days ago

Absolutely disgusting

philmillar.bsky.social•26 days ago

This implies Reeves would hesitate even a second before slamming that button to starve kids

rockinchimp.bsky.social•26 days ago

Labour won't because they are firmly in the pocket of the rich

You clearly don’t understand the meme, targeting the poor to give tax breaks to the rich is an easy decision for Reeves.

What's wrong with parents being responsible to send their children to school with lunches? How fucking hard is it to spread peanut butter on bread? How are we supposed to teach children the economic principle of "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch" when liberals are fighting for free lunches?

None of the cruelty is necessary, because the government isn't a household and doesn't need to save money at all.
This isn't even a trade-off.

How about the female MP’s in the Cabinet showing a modicum of decency, yes I’m referring to Reeves and Phillipson, so keen to accept freebie VIP Taylor Swift tickets, with the pathetic excuse of her 12 year old daughter’wanting to go’ along with many other 12 yr olds, who don’t have this advantage.

"The green party ['green' as in naive] would... blah blah"

easy to say when there is ZERO chance of you ever having to follow through

Like why not introduce a 'super luxury' tax on yachts and cars over £100k?

Hundreds of thousands left without lifesaving supernova for 5 years, imprisoned or risking their lives to have any health care. We live in a dystopian society.

The kind of post that makes you glad you don’t vote green … the closest thing to a lie possible. We need parties and politicians who do not try to deceive. This post is shameful.

rueshine.bsky.social•26 days ago

Bold of you to assume this will in any way be a dilemma for Reeves. It won't.

Look how they fought against free school meals in Wales. Time and again they voted down Plaids policy on meals until.....

They needed a budget deal! @plaid cymru

One thing she wants to do and another she doesn't. Hardly something she sweated over.

gpew social media has really improved its output recently.

The present government horrifies me (as did the previous one, of course) by its grovelling to oligarchs, tyrants and tabloid media - owned by oligarchs, of course.

jezkemp.bsky.social•26 days ago

This meme is inaccurate, Rachel Reeves would never hesitate to protect the wealthy and punish the vulnerable

antonyillahiwarren.bsky.social•26 days ago

New New Labour would rather rip the skin off a seal pup's back, than tax a rich person. You have to vote Green if you want fair and adequate taxation.
