❄️ Starmer thought cutting winter fuel payments was smart politics. Then Labour got crushed in local elections. Maybe not alienating your base is a better strategy? #LabourFail

@thecommongreen my household is 100% eligible to claim disability benefits. Over the years, we have started the process twice and given up. I'm fit and healthy and spend my working life using the usual tech. I also know my way around application forms of one kind and another, but the benefits system has us beat. As a result, my partner claims nothing he is entitled to, and we just 'manage' on what I earn. I can't even imagine what a "crack down" might look like. #LabourFail
Don’t think either of those where in the Labour manifesto it used to con its way into power by persuading 33% of voters that it actually stood for something different than Tory policies of protecting the rich and crucifying the rest of us:
“Rachel Reeves has defended her decisions to cut the winter fuel allowance and abandon infrastructure projects”.
This is extremely disappointing — we can't afford to compromise on nature's recovery.
"Government is to slash the nature-friendly farming budget in England by £100m"
"This cut would mean at least 239,000 fewer hectares of nature-friendly farmland"

Government reducing NHS queues by not letting you see a doctor
This is an ingenious move
If you’re one of the 7 million people worried you are going to die waiting for hospital treatment, I have exciting news: the government is offering you the chance to skip the NHS queue like Catherine and Charles by not using the NHS!

Labour leader concerned Gaza ceasefire could lead to violence
He is therefore hoping the bombing will continue
Former human rights lawyer Sir Keir Starmer is hugely concerned that if the Israeli genocide is stopped, this could lead to violence. After consulting experts and ignoring their advice, the Labour leader has sensibly concluded the only way to avoid the risk of violence is to obliterate northern Gaza.
Never forget that after the 2009 world financial crisis the Tories took it and made it their own AND we’re all paying for it. #ToriesDestroyingOurCountry

An interesting stat, given @UKLabour admitted on TV today that they wouldn't pay the nurses either.

In which Tory Brexit supporting Starmer is torn a new one by the only real Opposition in Westminster right now..

Surely Starmer can’t survive being endorsed by far right racist Farage, can he?

Thanks to brexit and the tory party this is the reality you lot have caused.
Spiralling inflation, businesses going bankrupt, we’ve even been told to expect blackouts.
Looking forward to you losing your seat, your party annihilated and you on to benefits.
