If I were a president with ambitions of becoming a dictator and my opinion polls were through the floor then an attack on the home guard that I deployed would be really useful about now.

It's good that the two child benefit limit is gone, but Reeves & Starmer deserve zero credit for it - first they used it to remove MPs on the left they didn't like, and they've only crumbled now due to sustained external pressure.
Also, —cowardly— they've avoided taxing the super-rich, again.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

We can do universal basic income right now, at the poverty level of $15k/year. No more robots required. It already makes sense to do. Replacing existing tax expenditures like the standard deduction would reduce its cost, and we'd save more than it costs in reduced spending on the impacts of poverty.
