“It sounded as if he was suggesting that songs about gassing Jews, Asians and Black people amount to no more than “banter”. That’s not schoolboy Farage talking, but the Farage of 2025.”

Yes. Same racism. Now weaponised by the wealth and power of the far right.

Zarah Sultana is not attending today's opening day, in solidarity with those excluded for being SWP members (on grounds it is another registered party). Unlike Corbyn, she does not favour a single leader, but both intend to stand if a single leader model chosen

DISGRACEFUL!

Giving pensioners a raise every year regardless of inflation etc. Even if they don’t need it?

The BBC budget "analysis" consists mostly of voxpops by people complaining bitterly about Labour taxing too much and roughly an equal amount of people complaining bitterly about Labour spending too little.

This country right now.

“The Labour Chancellor has taken from the rich to give to the poor”?

Meaning funding public services and taking the poorest kids out of poverty?
