Instead of slashing welfare and disability benefits — forcing more disabled people and children into poverty — the government could introduce a 2% tax on assets over £10 million. It would raise £24 billion — five times the savings from these cuts. This is austerity 2.0

Yesterday they gave £3bn to Thames Water. Today they have to take £5bn off Disabled people. It should be the other way around.

Nothing is achieved by moralising about The Vivienne’s death being due to addiction; better to put that energy into supporting LGBTQ+ people who are drawn to drugs in the first place, and finding solutions as to why it happens.

Kyle says we should judge Reeves on her actions Ok. Scrapping the £2 bus fare cap. Keeping the 2 child benefit cap. Abolishing the universal winter fuel allowance. Betraying the Waspi women. Targeting disabled peoples benefits. All while refusing to raise taxes on the super rich

Fujitsu is targeting a lucrative contract renewal with HMRC worth over £200m. Already makes millions from govt contacts. Yet to pay any penalty for false conviction of postmasters in the Post Office scandal. No one prosecuted. Corporate gravy train rolls on.

If I wasn’t told that these WhatsApp messages were sent within the Labour Party I would have assumed they were from Reform Party. The Labour Party under Keir Starmer leadership is homophobic, ableist, racist and transphobic. They are now a right wing party and will make way for fascism.

This is a new photo I have recieved from a trusted source showing a Switch 2 Dock, featuring visible input and output voltage information (other information obscured). In addition, I have learned that the Switch 2 ships with a 60W charger for use with the dock.

Israeli Gov breaches ceasefire so expect responses: UK: Israeli Gov not ceasing fire during a ceasefire is hypothetical. French: Israeli Gov not ceasing fire during a ceasefire is down to theoreticals. US Govt: we don’t recognise firing during a ceasefire is not ceasing fire during a ceasefire.

Look. If you want to legally mandate that I use women's bathrooms, I'm going to insist that you reckon with what that means. Ideally before these laws pass.

I cannot stand Keir Starmer and history will judge him appallingly. But a petition to have him removed as PM via a GE coz he "broke promises" is pretty funny. Wait til you hear about previous PMs, you dummy-spitting losers.

the centrist crowd are in denial. they’re blaming the daily mail for starmer’s policies. labour were pretty clear they’d be a nightmare for disabled ppl before the election. the media frames things but at root this is a cruel and malicious government.

A lot of apologism in the comments along the lines of "Of course the Mail will spin it a certain way", ignoring that Starmer went to the Mail to give them this interview. He cannot be unaware of the Mail's record for demonising the disabled and people on benefits, so don't give me that shit.

Keir Starmers Black Rock tweet is quite something. 8.3 million views. But not a single retweet from a Labour MP. Of the 402 who could support him - including Reeves tagged - not one. Commiserations to Lewes , Limehouse & Poplar Labour who thought this was great & what people needed to hear!

🧵Back in the 14th century you had the landowning gentry and the serfs and no real middle class. The serfs all had a tiny amount of their own wealth but the system was designed for it to never get above a meagre level. The landowning class was chuffed with this.

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue. The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum. Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?

Keir Starmers BlackRock Britain. "BlackRock is highlighting Labour’s entire political project rests on the willingness of companies like BlackRock to plough private capital into the foundational components of our society (and extracting massive profits in the process)." Really important piece. 👇🏼
