Once again this government's dreadful priorities laid bare - making billions available for defence at the expense of those already struggling to make ends meet. Greens will fight tooth and nail against cruel, unnecessary welfare cuts.

But I suspect in other contexts, you would acknowledge Sam Coates' reputation as a Tory-leaning shitstirrer...
Now I'm asking how Labour differ from Tories.
No meaningful change in any of these key issues:-
We MUST have an alliance of the decent at the next GE: PR, Rejoin, Tax the rich and foreign PLCs, Public NHS, Recoup Furlough billions & prosecute, nationalise water etc

There's no point bemoaning the past we have to look to the future. The alliance is the only credible option.
The press has never been so biased as it has been since the Coalition especially the BBC.
I agree a chance was missed. I voted Lab in that election. Green in the latest

N.B. War profiteering can be a war crime.
So, the first thing we should do is get er...
Factories?
We have one hell of an uphill struggle ahead of us, that's for sure. I just hope Reeves stops looking at the impoverished every time she needs money.
They now produce about 1 million drones a year?
I forget the numbers but Ukraine has a *lot* of spare ammo factory capacity. They just need the money to boost production.
Government 'borrowing' is a fiction anyway - the BoE creates money out of thin air at the behest of... government.
And creating money to invest in infrastructure and create jobs in the UK isn't inflationary either.
But Reeves' 'fiscal rules' of course prevent it.
I'm not arguing against what you're saying given that yes, properly used it can be beneficial. Japan got itself out of difficult financial waters with quantitive easing...
Unlike trying to cut your way to growth
Which doesn't
There are millionaires literally asking for precisely this, but we're still doing everything in our power to not.

But never can when its for social needs!
How strange!
There's no law forcing anything in a manifesto. The courts ruled so.
I haven’t read the details yet
Though a war with Russia will be pricey and that’s even if we win and if we aren’t all annihilated in the process
Labour now just behaving like they're seat warmers not a government.
Which is the poorest in society rather than the richest
It's absolutely right to question this
I'll wait for my reply.
It baffles me that Reeves can't see that benefits get put back into the economy. CEO bonuses get put into a tax haven.
They claim they want to grow the economy?
What happened to "the broadest shoulders".
