National defence is not determined many guns you buy - you're not going to be able to defend yourself if the health service is so underfunded you can't treat the wounded, if your manufacturing workforce are living in poverty, if all the public utilities are in the hands of foreign billionaires etc.

Conversion therapy is torture. Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, met with and took advice from a group who promotes torture.

Looking at you Wes 🔪 Taking puberty blockers away is only going to inflict more harm to trans people.

to the pearl-clutching liberals who suggested corbyn's labour party was full of mini-hitlerites but have nothing to say about the vapid state of transphobia, ableism, islamophobia and racism under starmer's watch:

merry christmas from no. 10
