If you ever needed to know that #Labour are just as evil as the #Tories here's why, and here's why they're still attacking the disabled, the vulnerable and the poor.

It's because they not happy being slaves to their corporate masters.

So this is what's currently happening to a friend of mine.

He's got a letter from the DWP, telling him that his ESA will end in the middle of July and he needs to apply for Universal credit.

He starts panicking, he doesn't know what to do.

After a few weeks of ignoring it, he finally gets up the courage to ask me for help. He doesn't have any family he can turn too for help as they all... to put it bluntly, thick as pig shit and treat him (the most intelligent person in his entire extended family) as some kind of leper, because he's capable of actual independent thought and doesn't believe every he reads on facebook.

So I look into it.

He's on ESA, in the support group, gets PIP and the disability premium on his ESA. The ESA, with the disability premium is worth about £480 every two weeks.

Universal credit is about £383 every two weeks.

However, they top up the UC so that he will still get that same £480 every two weeks... and he can still ask for his money to be paid bi weekly instead of monthly as they want it... All good you might think, he's not going to lose a penny at all... and he's not.

This year.... but every year afterwards will see him fall further into poverty.

Here's why.

That top up to keep his benefit the same as now, is because they've abolished the disability premium... which is awarded to people who live alone and have no carer. The people who need that extra money the most... fuck em, let em suffer is still the attitude of govt.

So what that means... is that as the UC is increased each year... that top up, gets reduced by the same amount.

So that £480 he gets every two weeks.. stays at £480 until the UC of £383 reaches the same £480.

To put that in perspective... the avg increase in UC is about £3 or 4, every two weeks.... PER YEAR!!! £97 difference, divided by £3 would be 32 years, divided by £4 would be 24 years.

Imagine never getting a penny extra for 24yrs when you are a disabled person, unable to work, approaching 60yrs old who last had a job nearly 15yrs ago and was fired because of his health... and who had to wait a further 7 years before they actually awarded him disability.

He lived in extreme poverty for years, not able to heat his home, buy clothes or feed himself properly.

It's a fucking disgrace, I am outraged about this. Further proof that the labour scum bags are fucking over the poor, the disabled and anyone who isn't some wage slave to a corporate overlord who pays them shit wages, hoards all of the profits and doesn't pay as much money as the minimum wage staff they treat as disposable slaves.

So now I have to help him sort out this UC application... thankfully it doesn't affect his PIP and that will still go up each year... by an avg of about £2 every 2 weeks.

All his bills still rise, cost of energy goes up all the time, his council tax goes up every year. He's got 10yrs left before he can get his state pension., which at least is about £50 more every two weeks... and I think I can save him some money on his council tax as he's only getting the 25% single/disabled discount, and I think he's entitled to the full CT benefit. That could cut his CT bill by another £50 a month.

But... fuck them all.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Sunday called into question the future of Iran's ruling theocracy after a surprise attack on three of the country’s nuclear sites, seemingly contradicting his administration's earlier calls to resume negotiations and avoid an escalation in fighting.

“It’s not politically correct to use the term, ‘Regime Change,’ but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change???” Trump posted on social media. “MIGA!!!"

Anytime you hear #traitorous #GOP talk about law and order, remind those #MAGA #scumbags that they break the law more than anyone else AND get hauled up for it, too! #Hypocrites!

The Senate parliamentarian has ruled against a controversial provision in the Senate Republicans’ megabill that would have made it significantly more difficult for courts to enforce contempt findings against the Trump administration.

The parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, ruled that limiting courts’ ability to hold Trump officials in contempt violated the Senate’s rules governing what can be passed with a simple-majority vote on the budget reconciliation fast track.

Peace through war is the worst kind of #bullshit one can come across. Expect #traitorous #MAGA #scumbags to repeat this over and over again over the course of the next few months.

“I think we’ve really got to understand our other interests in the world that might be affected by this attack today. This is a preemptive war. The world does not support preemptive wars. We learned that in 2003,” McFaul said, referring to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, which was launched based on the theory that Saddam Hussein’s regime had weapons of mass destruction and threatened America.

“Putin will be celebrating this because he did his own preemptive war in Ukraine and now it’s like, well, this is just what great powers do. Maybe Xi Jinping is going to think the same. He’s going to say, ‘Well, if they can do it here, we can do it in Taiwan,’” McFaul added.

Trump announced on Saturday evening that the U.S. had bombed three Iranian nuclear sites and said, “NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!”

A #felon and a #fraudster #grifter #POTUS shielding other #criminals. Nothing to see here, folks, move on.

When will the #Whitehouse be sued under the #RICO act?

Creating artificial stock fluctuations by continuously announcing economic measures which are recanted shortly after is just criminal behavior and only aims to enrich some people in the close circle around #Trump

Jail the Whitehouse crew! Jail the #Maga #scumbags for life and throw away the key!

Elon Musk appeared to dramatically lower DOGE's savings goal, projecting $150 billion for the year—far short of his earlier trillion-dollar claims. However, questions remain about the savings claimed by the team with critics pointing to inflated numbers, retracted claims, and a growing list of controversial cuts.

Elon Musk has said DOGE is drastically scaling back its savings aims. In a cabinet meeting on Thursday, Musk told Trump the group expected to slash $150 billion from the federal budget over the fiscal year, which runs from the beginning of October 2025 to the end of September 2026.

"Over the past two decades, the self-avowed libertarian’s melding of genetic pronouncements with bootstrapping family-values talk has served as the bridge spanning divergent factions of the racialist right, from its IQ-obsessed, DEI-hating Silicon Valley wing to its white nationalist fringes.

Far from rejecting the dynamic of market competition, this new formation deepens it. From the United States and Britain to Hungary and Argentina, so-called populists on the right have not rejected global capitalism as such. Rather, they have rejected the 1990s model of governing global capitalism that revolved around large multilateral trade agreements—opting instead for unilateral action, as in Trump’s use of tariffs as leverage to open markets for U.S. investors and U.S. products and services. In general, the leaders of this right offer few plans to rein in finance, re-industrialize, or restore a Golden Age of job security. On the contrary, their calls to privatize, deregulate, and slash taxes come straight from the playbook shared by the world’s leaders for the past thirty years.

In other words, this new right does not really reject globalism but advances a new strain of it—one that accepts an international division of labor while tightening controls on certain kinds of migration. It assigns intelligence averages to countries in a way that collectivizes and renders innate the concept of “human capital.” It appeals to values and traditions that cannot be captured statistically, shading into a language of national essences and national character. The fix it finds in race, culture, and nation is but the most recent iteration of a pro-market philosophy based not on the idea that we are all the same but that we are in a fundamental, and perhaps permanent way, different."
