Hot take: you should be squeamish about making life worse for poor people.
This man will just continue to be the midwife of a Reform Government, just like Keir Starmer.
🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham says he is "not squeamish" about cutting welfare spending
He says he wants to get more people into work through a ten-year plan which will also increase defence spending

'Handouts to handups’
The language of the Tories.
A Labour MP. Apparently a leadership candidate.
While they refuse to end handouts to the super rich.

The 50 richest families own more wealth than 34 million people.
A handful have everything.
Millions are struggling.
End Rip Off Britain.
Wealth tax. Now.
ALT The case for labour to introduce a wealth tax has never been stronger.

Reform want to take us to a grim place.
They've been in their right wing echo chamber for far too long.
The vast majority of people in this country don't denigrate difference - we celebrate it.

A) as we’ve discussed before, you don’t need to quote tweet. B) You know as well as I do that extraordinarily concentrated wealth makes a difference to the lives of everyone in a democracy.

Musk as a trillionaire- anyone as a trillionaire- is a grotesque economic, moral and political problem. We cannot have individuals with that level of power, whatever they might have achieved.

The idea that the accumulation of excessive wealth in the hands of a few inevitably leads to oligarchy, corruption, and the destruction of the common good goes back at least as far as Aristotle. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd7v…

These are not 'anti-migrant protestors'. They went house to house looking for foreigners and Black people to burn them out of their homes.
They are racist thugs carrying out a pogrom.

Daily Mail posts lies about the Greens that are spread far and wide. I wish half the number of people saw their apologies.

This was tweeted by @GBNEWS presenter @Alexarmstrong.
He deleted it. He’ll face no consequences.
The most extreme, unhinged opinions are being mainstreamed.
If that carries on, this country will fall into the abyss

BREAKING: Justice Jeremy Johnson has ruled that the Filton 4 will be sentenced as terrorists – even though two juries refused to convict them of violence charges over their efforts to disable an Israeli factory in the UK making killer drones for use in Gaza. They were found guilty of a minor charge of criminal damage.
Judge Johnson kept the jury in the dark of his plans to sentence the four as terrorists. This is the first time in British legal history that anyone has been sentenced as a terrorist for damaging property. It's a very dark moment in an increasingly authoritarian Britain.
Thousands of legal professionals complained about Johnson's clear abuses of legal procedures to help the government's case for proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist group.
Johnson has now proved this was always a show trial.
I explain how he rigged the two trials here: jonathancook.substack.com/p/…

Here’s the thing about GB News.
Before it launched, anyone who said it’d be like this was accused of scaremongering.
“Our broadcasting rules won’t allow a Fox News in this country!”
Yet it’s become an open sewer of conspiratorial bile

A fairer society for the poorest should include reducing the environmental degradation that affects them more the richer people. #greenspace
