Badenoch promises to make you better off...As long as you have a big house and aren't on the list below.
That is: disabled (working or otherwise), a child with two older siblings, unemployed, sick, a migrant with a black or brown skin, or a renter with a high rent (and on a low income or unemployed).
She thinks renters in expensive areas should, to borrow an old Tory saying, "get on their bike."
But even that isn't an option if you're disabled and need help funding the means to get around.
Same old Tories.
PS Have I missed anyone?

Unions should be bastions of democracy, not instruments for suppressing it.
The GMB is bringing itself into disrepute by initiating disciplinary proceedings against a member who questions the leadership's policy, especially on an issue as crucial as this.
Please sign and share.

She's a 94 year old Jewish human rights lawyer.
She's been arrested under terrorism legislation for opposing genocide.
The least we can do is to listen.

Zack Polanski has labelled the motion on Israel at the Greens’ conference an “unhelpful distraction”
It certainly presents them with difficult tactical and strategic choices
But make no mistake - Zionism IS racism. My @DoubleDownNews piece from March

What's happened in Germany?
Saxony Anhalt has been a bastion of the Right for some time. In 2021, the combined vote share of the AfD and CDU was 65%. This time it is 66%, but the proportions have reversed from 2-1 in favour of the CDU to 2-1 in favour of the AfD.
Why? The big difference between the two parties is over the Ukraine war, which is hugely unpopular in Germany, not least because Ukraine sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines impacting not only energy costs but the whole economy. The AfD challenged the warmongering of the CDU - as the quoted @Glenn_Diesen post says.
But the AfD can't be relied on to continue to be anti-war. Like Trump positioning himself as pro-peace to get elected, the AfD is exploiting discontent with the war and fears over its escalation for its own malign ends.
Nevertheless, its success does highlight a big problem: some on the Left - fearful perhaps of being dubbed Putin apologists - have failed to challenge the NATO narrative on Ukraine and the scaremongering about a Russian threat.
In my view, it's significant that the only Left party to advance in Saxony Anhalt was BSW, which is unequivocally anti-war.
The message from Germany is that the Left needs to do more to be - as it should be - the natural home for people who want peace.

We are asked to take on trust the word of the security services that the Iranians were behind it.
In May Double Down Newswatch did a deep dive on this story. "It's murky", we concluded.
