A meme of Keir Starmer at the Labour Party conference:

First panel: Shove a firework up your arse, throw some plastic garden furniture at the Dutch then throw up in your Nan's handbag. Still hold an unreasonable dislike of Germans after 80 years despite being having views that wouldn't be out of place in the Third Reich

Second panel: Have a nickname for every nationality on the planet but they don't have a nickname for you because they don't care. Drink ten pints of Stella and sing the first two lines of Rule Britannia because that's all you know

Third panel: That's real Britain.

You do know why Starmer never lifted a finger for Grangemouth? It's because he did'nt have to. He did'nt have to appease the voter base, Because he did'nt need Scottish votes to become PM. He is the English Prime Minister, Therefore he needs to appeal to English voters, Scotland is an afterthought.

Do you now see what Labour hid behind that word, "CHANGE"?

it is a continuing choice, not a 'hard decision' to take the most from the people with the least in order to hit fiscal 'targets'.

we are being bled dry to cater to the whims of extremely wealthy people who have never had to choose between heat and food

I am significantly disabled. I need help showering. I need help preparing food. It's hard enough being disabled. I am beyond furious that Starmer thinks I & other disabled people like me need to be 'incentivised' into work by cutting the meagre support we rely on to help us live a dignified life.

Benefit system unfair and indefensible, says PM Some Labour MPs urge ministers to tackle the

So that's the disabled being targeted, yet again. Most people don't choose not to be able to work, slashing benefits doesn't suddenly create accommodations in work places which allow those who can and want to work to do so, and risks driving more into poverty. #r4today

Disabled people.

They were never going to stop at just demonising migrants.

Or the LGBT+ community.

Labour will never stop feeding the Reform machine until the very few people protected are those insulated by their wealth.

In the cold revealing light of the morning, as I go about my mundane daily tasks, without warning or reason I will stare into the middle distance and imagine a vast expanse of darkness. A starless, ancient, eternal night. And I imagine myself as an atronaut unmoored from his spacefaring vessel, his only reference to reality shrinking until it becomes part of the nothingness. Dying, lost forever, cosmically forgotten. And then I move on with my day.

The practice of "leaking" major UK Gov policy proposals on a Friday night is disgusting and abhorrent.

It's blatant cruelty to let the media have a field day at the expense of the sick and disabled folk who are already hammered by damaging rhetoric.

Labour are bastards.

I’m seeing more posts lately where people aren’t using alt text. A lot of the posts are great but inaccessible to those who are sight impaired and use screen readers. Alt text describes images for screen readers. So please take a few minutes to write some alt text so everyone can β€˜see’ your posts

Agree, you can’t beat the convenience & performance of an eye-level grill.

They’re still in production with some manufacturers - my mum & sister both have a gas cooker fitted with one.
