Rachel Reeves was literally in tears at PMQs today - not over the thousands of children killed by Israeli bombs in Gaza (which Labour facilitates), but because she didn’t get to slash benefits.
Starmer’s Labour:-
- Joy in backing genocide abroad.
- Despair when they can’t punish the poor at home.

BBC headline story about seriousness of bin strike in Birmingham, and yet no calls for the UK government to answer for for their leader to resign. Had this been in Scotland we'd be having wall-to-wall calls by the BBC and corporate media for the SNP to explain why they aren't resolving the problem and immediately sacking the SNP minister 'responsible'.

If this was happening in Scotland the BBC and the rest of the corporate media would be demanding that the SNP must answer and Swinney must resign. One 'news' for England, another for Scotland. That's their ongoing plan.

Labour’s actions in government are no joke for pensioners who have lost Winter Fuel Payments, WASPI women who continue to go uncompensated & for disabled people who are about to have their benefits cut.

Nine months on and Labour are still sticking to their promise not to penalise ‘Working People,’ by focusing instead on those who can’t work or are retired.

I think it’s only a matter of time before some of the more sensible folk in ‘Scottish’ Labour realise their only hope is to unhitch themselves from the centre-right English nationalists of UK Labour and open up to #ScottishIndependence for Party and nation.

"I have to take into account whether it's right at the moment to impose a further burden on the taxpayer”

Labour Government has rejected an ombudsman's report on the @WASPI_Campaign suggesting payouts of up to £2,950 per person.

LABOUR have stated women suffered 'no direct financial loss' and cost to taxpayers would not be 'fair or appropriate'.

Another group betrayed by Labour!

First the UK Labour government have cut winter heating payments for pensioners, and now they’re denying WASPI women what they’re due.

Quite simply, this is a betrayal.
