⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It is an excellent collection of stories; a mix of easy reading and engaging, with some twists that are not easily guessed by the reader. It’s a perfect companion to read when you don’t have time for a full length book, but want something entertaining to read.

Can Angry Sylvia be added to your Socialist pack as I might need to use it again, because I’m not going to stop calling out racist, bigots and the politically illiterate

Oh Laura of course she won’t. Bridget has abandoned her principles and changed her beliefs to get where she is today, why would she resign over something that is merely an opportunity to win votes

Laura Kuenssberg, "Would you resign from Labour if Labour do not lift the two child benefit cap?"

Bridget Phillipson, "We will do the right thing for children growing up in poverty. We've already started that process. There's more to do. I will make that happen"

It’s not nationalised if private companies are still making profits from it.

Starmer’s Labour will never nationalise anything while it’s ideology is Business Growth Partnerships

There are a number of Starmer supporters that speak from a position of privilege, never being affected by bad policy and believing all the hype. What they don’t understand is true community would be supporting the poor, vulnerable and marginalised suffering under this government

Just been blocked by this silly woman, who thinks it’s selfish of you to worry about making ends meet or being against a genocide. We should all be supporting Starmer for the greater good. Don’t worry if you can’t eat or pay your bills, you need to think about the greater good.

Poverty and trying to make ends meet is selfishness? Not the defending a government that has demonised and ostracised communities including; trans, migrants, disabled etc, nor the decimation of the environment or the selling the country to private corporations.

I can’t believe after all the comments, lived experience and facts, she still is insisting everything is better.
Though she never provided the requested evidence that would show someone who’s life had improved to back up her assertions

Trying to blame Farage and Brexit for tax rises is a sign of Starmer’s desperation

The prime minister and his chancellor, Rachel Reeves, are expected to argue that Brexit – backed by the Reform leader’s ‘easy sloganeering’ – is responsible for Budget tax hikes this autumn. But, says...
