People lives are being improved. 30 hrs free childcare is a real boost, increase in minimum wage is much needed. Free breakfast clubs, more free school meals, freezing rail fares. Plus workers rights bill and renters bill. All these are improving lives.

I sincerely hope Rachel Reeves is with her kids and husband romping around her grace and favour home. And has a bottle of something nice in for tonight. Enjoying at least this moment of the job from hell. 🥂🥂

Hi Angus my favouite book The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists was wrote well over a hundred years ago it centered around a group of exploited builders & the views you have just described were articulated by some of the workers in the book. I work in building & those exact views are still expressed.

Yep, I'm afraid you're right. Although, having thought about this quite a lot, I struggle to believe that so many people are that thick. I think it's laziness and indifference. The facts are out there, they're not difficult to find. Lots of people would rather just get angry instead.

Disgraceful! A patriotic flag shagger who dedicated his time to illegally putting up 64 flags is being charged £2,300 for the cost of taking them down. If it wasn't so funny I'd be furious.
