I think the excessive caution Starmer has shown to date will become a crippling feature of his first term. I also think the Tories are indiscriminately laying economic land mines for an incoming Labour government - thus strangling any ambition Labour has before it can even see light

A snapshot of today's 'Day of Action' led by campaign group DPAC - Disabled People Against Cuts. Protesters, many of whom were disabled and critically ill, mounted a protest outside of the Department for Work and Pensions head office in Central London – before blocking Victoria St in Westminster.

I wonder if there’s a risk of a Tory return whether Starmer would deploy the electoral reform doomsday option to make it harder for a fringe led Tory party to achieve decisive levels of power?

For those with Goldfish brains, do you really need to be reminded how Gordon Brown said we had to 'invest our way' out of the world financial crisis of 2008. What did the Tories do? = 14 years of austerity, and look at the state of it all today. SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO GORDON BROWN!

We may need a SPAFFING LIST...a record of every penny wasted by the Tories in government since 2010. How much would that account for...1 trillion pounds? More??

I'm sticking with fuck 'em all for now - all sides playing games tonight are morally reprehensible. SNP walking out because their motion wasn't called? Not because they disagreed with Labour, just because of procedure. Absolute pricks on all sides tonight and none of them should be let off.

The British PM is on a collision course with the Church of England’s bishops — 26 of whom are part of the UK’s legislature in the House of Lords — over a controversial plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda.

Why Rishi Sunak’s Tories can’t stop beefing with bishopswww.politico.eu The British prime minister is on a collision course with England’s clergy, who are no longer ‘the Conservative Party at prayer.’

Portugal has become a net importer of bulk wine. In fact, in 2022, it was the world's 5th largest bulk wine importer (by volume). Almost all of Portugal's bulk imports come from Spain.

Well Rishi Sunak has proved how low he'll sink by making a joke about transgenderism, while the mother of a murdered transgender woman was murdered by people who think the same way as him. This shows the sick minds of the Tories and copying the Republicans ideology against the LGBTQIA community.

Saw this video last night. Makes a pretty airtight case. That J6 capitol footage needs to run on a loop, in case any more RepubliQAns try to rewrite that history by declaring it nothing more than 'rowdy tourists.'

The perception of Universal Basic Income is mistakenly seen as a handout, when in fact it’s an investment. An investment in human potential, creativity, and overall well-being. Let's reframe the narrative around UBI and recognize its true power to uplift and embolden our society.

The Tory MP Tobias Ellwood has written a Politico op-ed calling to "Save Conservatism”, warning that populism *could* destroy the Tory Party and do real damage to the UK. I like Ellwood. But why didn’t he write this 5 years ago?
