This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode deficits
3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.

No-one is ever 'set to win' an election that won't happen for nearly four years.
On a third of the vote, let that sink in. Even if two thirds don’t vote Reform they could still become the next government. Labour had a similar share of the vote last year. It’s time we had a fair, democratic electoral system.

In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq.
Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent war crimes.
Now his government is banning Palestine Action for doing the same.
The Prime Minister is a hypocrite.

Politico: Up to 170 Labour MPs are thought to have signed letters to the whips opposing benefit cuts — "and they’re not too happy with...threats to kick them out of the parliamentary party if they defy orders"
“You can’t do that to 170 MPs,” one Lab MP said. “We’ll just go off and form Labour 2” 👀

OBR forecast UK household debt to hit £2,429bn in 2025.
Public debt shifted to households e.g. student debt.
Real wage cuts, higher living costs, more debt
Costs more to service private debt than public debt.
No govt focus on household debt.
Can't rebuild economy without redistribution.

Is UK going to be sucked into another US led war? No WMD in Iraq. Libya, Syria destabilised

Starmer's Labour had one job to do – to reverse the evils of Thatcherism and restore the people's faith in parliamentary democracy – and with a thumping majority he was given the tools with which to do it. He has utterly failed and will never be forgiven for paving the way for a Farage government.

Reform is not a Left Wing party, Reform is an even more Right Wing version of the Conservative Party it offers nothing for anyone but the billionaires.
