What if you have kids and then something happens that means you can’t afford them (maybe illness, job loss, economy crashing due to ignorant Tories…)…?
Do they want people to sell their kids?

Whenever a news article opens with β€œLabour are being criticised ….” You just know the rest of the article will be THEIR OWN manufactured criticism and not actually the opinion of most decent people.
We had it with the budget. We’ve now got it with workers’ rights.
Do some proper journalism ffs.

I’ve never heard of that bakery - but it sounds exactly like the sort of place I’d avoid so I’ve added it to the list that includes Spoons, Dyson….

Well I have the hope!
But I also have the sense and intellect to know these things, that were ripped away by the Tories for their own personal gain, cannot suddenly be delivered out of thin air.

Imagine having all that wealth and still being an odious little turd.

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their Β£2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

@vjenno.bsky.social Happy Thanksgiving - I bet I know what you’re wishing for (do you wish for things on Thanksgiving?!)
Memories of a wonderful meal still live rent free in my head!

More people from working class backgrounds work in the lower paid end of adult health & social care. If you don’t want to β€œfeed other people’s kids” make sure you tell them when they’re about to change your adult nappy, so they can leave you festering while they look after decent people instead πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Tbf if you’re over-entitled, can’t / don’t appreciate what other people actually contribute to your life, and like the thought of starving kids, then this was a pretty bad budget. For the rest of us it was pretty good tbh. (& I’m an EV driving micro-business owner!)

Given how many posh people are crying tonight, I reckon it was a pretty good budget!

I have an electric car - I’m very happy to pay a mileage charge, because I use roads and they’re a public good. I already do my bit for the planet, now I can do a bit more for society.
So for everyone saying I’ve been shafted, fuck off πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Wtf are Mason and Rigby gonna bleat about now? A pretty decent budget which kept manifesto promises, raised kids from poverty and shit all over the nonsense β€œjournos” spouted last week.
I hope Rigby & Mason are ashamed (reader, they won’t be…)

I know what you mean, but my children would never act like that! It’s pathetic isn’t it?

It’s Budget Day - finally we will find out what’s actually happening, and not what 4th rate hacks want us to believe.
I hope there’s something that makes Mason, Rigby, & Kuhennesburg’s heads explode.

The people who say Farage was only 18 and didn’t mean what he said, are the same people who were certain Shamima Begum knew exactly what she was doing at 15.

Beth Rigby - making stuff up and pretending it’s news is the very worst kind of journalism. Sloppy, lazy, pathetic scaremongering.

I was teaching at uni during Covid - it was impossible to explain to the non-teaching SLT that you couldn’t just take the f2f lesson and deliver it online. The extra work, including trying to home school 2 kids was just exhausting…even before the stress & illness!

Great suggestions thank you - she does have a very active life, in fact she’s rarely in! She does this stuff a lot, so I might have to find something really β€œout there” just to boost it xx

And STILL they say schools were closed. No they weren’t! Our schools worked throughout, supporting remote learning and f2f key worker lessons.

Tbh I expected no less from him. He’s a chancer, a performer, an over-entitled, over-promoted posh boy, who contains not one ounce of decency. He is the very definition of scum - as are his followers.

DO IT. The lot of them belong in prison.
Actually they deserve worse, but we’re a decent country apparently, so this will have to do.
I hope there’s some big evil bastards sharing their cells though.

Wouldn’t it be EXCEPTIONAL if Reeves stands up on Wednesday and announces rejoining the EU. I reckon I would literally piss myself; just for the look on a certain few faces would be worth it.
And I would celebrate till NY and beyond.

But decent people KNEW. We all said it at the time. Currently my feed seems to be full of utterly disgusting Tories saying they did their best, and hindsight is a wonderful thing.
NO. We called it at the time - they should all be locked up. Murdering scum.
