me & the boys misunderstood the arcane nature of the sword & the stone, and using a toyota and some chains to pull it from the stone resulted in the Toyota becoming the new king of england

Text reads: Tax the rich Fund public services

Dear Rachel Reeves, Don't Cut Public Services Tax the Rich Now! Newspaper article: Reeves facing £50 billion black hole as tax pressure mounts

Over the last year, Labour have used claims about the lack of money to justify cuts to pensioners’ Winter Fuel Payments and essential support for disabled people.

At the same time, the rich have turned massive profits.

There should be no caveats or preconditions. Recognition of Palestine is the position of most countries in the world. It's decades overdue that the UK does the same.

Violent or destructive left wing protest is framed as delegitimising the protesters' stated cause.

Violent or destructive right wing protest is framed as emphasing the need for urgent action on the protesters' stated cause.

As always, right wing men are treated as elemental forces without agency.

Labour is no vehicle for the change this country needs - for many now, its the Greens 💚
