How are all those Labour politicians cheering for it?
They were literally whipped to vote for it and then the Prime Minister suspended those who didn't.
They really are totally devoid of any moral principle.
They respond to one thing - and that's political pressure.

At the Budget, the Chancellor just announced 250 new Neighbourhood Health Centres...
... but didn't mention their decision to use private finance to fund them 🧐
Why? Are they ashamed of their plan to resurrect the corpse of PFI in our NHS? They should be. #AutumnBudget

Alongside many campaigners, the Green Party have absolutely dragged the Labour Government to finally end the child cap.
Labour politicians disgracefully defended it for far too long.
This shows why the Green Party membership rising and rising matters.

🧵 There are many people on the internet right now claiming that FDR was a socialist.
No. He was a pro-labor president. Which means he was pro-union & pro-welfare. Within capitalism.
His enemies accused him of being socialist to denigrate his cause.
But Socialism & Unions are not the same systems.
