No one who cares about wildlife and ecosystems is now likely to vote Labour in 2029. Or about Gaza. Or poverty. Or inequality. Or international aid. Or corporate power. Or democratic reform. Or racism. Or trans rights. So that's goodbye to just about its entire vote. What are they playing at?

I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.

Keir Starmer is furious the OBR didn’t “price in” his fantasy that slashing #DisabilityBenefits will magically push people into work. But they went with evidence. Claimants, researchers, clinicians all know the likelier outcomes: collapse, crisis, and harm. #WelfareNotWorkfare

There’s also a twisted form of jealousy, I think. “Oh you have a chronic illness? How dare you use that to opt out of this relentless, often humiliating grind”. It’s similar to those straight people who are angry at the freedoms that they perceive queer people to enjoy.

✔️ Keeping children in poverty ✔️ Pushing elderly people into poverty ✔️ Punishing the world's most vulnerable ✔️ Pushing disabled people into poverty ⁉️ Where is the red line for Labour MPs? 💚 The Green Party will always stand up for the most vulnerable. Labour MPs should too.

It's just vile. Disgusting to attack the most vulnerable in society. We feared 'tory-lite', but this is so much worse. Might as well have the bastard Tories back.
