I vowed never to sign on & never ridicule anyone who had to. The greatest victory the rich had over regular people was getting us to punch down, when we should have been punching up!

In the early 80’s, just after leaving school, I had the painful experience of signing on the dole for a short time, it was horrible, it was degrading. Anyone who believes this 🐂💩 is naive at best!

I voted Labour, I’ve been expecting tax increases for a while, that’s because I’m not naive, I’m aware of what’s happened to my country & i know increases in taxes, in the right hands, will help fix my country for my kids future.

Because the right wing media jump on ideas that help society & left wing influencers demand social change immediately.

This is not a dig at you, just a general observation. Govt’s that send our brave young people into harms way should look after them when they return, battered & broken, mentally and physically. The investment into repairing & updating service people’s homes is a much needed investment, well done.

I expect GB News hysterically yelling to start rioting, Farage on every news channel moaning that Britain is broken, Mo Yusuf on Newsnight apologising for wrongly thinking only asylum seekers are sexual offenders, and Pochin leading a national inquiry into white people are child sex offenders.

I’m not saying it’s something we shouldn’t do, I’m pointing out that rejoining, no matter how much I want to, is not that simple. A large part of the problem is a Reform Party that’s leading in the polls, proving the UK is still a 🦇 💩 crazy country.

Tories handed out excessive contracts to hotels to house asylum seekers.
Robert Jenrick even bragged about how many they were opening up!
But Labour is closing them down and getting our money back!

Just a follow up on this, I believe our armed forces personnel & veterans shouldn’t need to rely on charities. If any government is willing to send our brave young people into harms way, they have an obligation to care for those people when they struggle with life on civi street, taxpayers have an

I buy a poppy every year, the little metal ones with the year on them. I get them for all four of us in my house. I transfer mine from my work clothes to my going out clothes. On Wednesday I stood in silence at hillsborough to respect the fallen but I’d not transferred my poppy to my coat. The

As we slowly realise we are destroying our home, the nay sayers finally understand why COP was so relevant. Sadly, news outlets such as @lbc.co.uk allowing presenters, not journalists, such as @nickferrarilbc.bsky.social to question #Netzero are culpable!

Belém must be the COP that delivers.
Delivers on tripling renewables & doubling energy efficiency by 2030.
Delivers for the countries vulnerable to climate change.
Delivers robust climate finance and carbon pricing.
Europe will play its part ↓

Tory policy: Let's spend 14 years asset stripping the country for our own ends & when we're finally voted out & things begin crumbling around us, we can blame the current government.
Slow hand clap Chris Philp, you hypocritical prick.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Farage 🇷🇺 was savaged in the Commons for lining his pockets with £1m from second jobs while sneering at young workers’ right to a fair wage, a display of hypocrisy so brazen it practically reeked through the chamber. #ukpolitics
