The Speaker of the house has excellent comic timing.
Starmer at PMQs: "We will continue to go after the fraudsters, the grifters and the con artists, no matter who they are or where we find them!"

As a Jew I am far, FAR more alarmed by our institutions equating me and other Jews with the IDF, who are responsible for the murder of over 80,000 Palestinians, by dint of framing any critique against the IDF as βantisemitism.β
Linking all Jews to the IDF is *actual* fucking antisemitism.
Kevin Maguire: If you lift kids out of poverty, their lives will benefit. If you employ more teachers you improve education. If you employ more doctors & nurses you improve the NHS. But if you build a few more submarines are we really any safer? #GMB

So when Starmer wants to stay within his arbitrary fiscal rules, who does he decide to take money from? The very rich? No, from people with disabilities who depend on benefits for the bare minimum of a decent life.

Wait, did I say "Corbyn"? I meant Thatcher. Thatcher's lowest corporation tax level was 35%. Corbyn posited 29%. Silly me!

And then ask yourself why Nigel Farage and Elon Musk havenβt been tweeting about these people.
