Disabled people who can work are worthy.

Disabled people who cannot work are worthy.

Disabled people who are completely independent are worthy.

Disabled people who rely on others for assistance are worthy.

ALL disabled people are worthy.

Ask your MP to tax the super rich more Use our tool to email your MP. They don't need to cut vital support for disabled people if they tax extreme wealth more.

Pecksniff: 62 Labour MPs want closer EU ties! (But apparently 341 donโ€™t) In which Mr Pecksniff lays before his readers for their approval certain observations and speculations reflecting on the political life

Labour hold a council seat in Ipswich. Bigger than it sounds.

Reform only took votes from Tories, but Greens came 2nd and took theirs from Labour.

Are Labour aiming at the wrong opponents?

Labourโ€™s great nature sellout is the worst attack on Englandโ€™s ecosystems Iโ€™ve seen in my lifetime | George Monbiot The horrifying planning bill, which rips up environmental protections, was drafted with CEOs in mind.

Show us some love, Labour, or itโ€™s all over between us Starmer's caution frustrates Labourโ€™s base โ€“ timid policies, broken promises, and no bold vision in sight

Starmer's caution frustrates Labourโ€™s base โ€“ timid policies, broken promises, and no bold vision in sight argues @peterthurlow.bsky.social

What are the chances of Labour changing, or do its erstwhile supporters have to look seriously elsewhere? If not Labour, then who?

Will anyone really be surprised if Starmer's Labour do badly in the May elections?

The Tories suffered a complete & total collapse, but since coming into office Labour has basically sounded like & felt like more of the same.

Where's the change?
Where's the hope?
Where's the reason?

I think in the show the memories came after Mat blew the Horn of Valere. At least that's what I'm assuming as the show didn't make it clear imo.

ยฃ33 million - Labour's current budget for the free breakfast club trial

ยฃ365 million - cost of free breakfast clubs for all primary schools

ยฃ3,400 million - the cost of removing the two child benefit cap

You can see why Labour are focusing on breakfast clubs and not removing the benefit cap
