Every time @zackpolanski.bsky.social calls out greedy billionaires on FB he gets piled on by fuckwits telling him he’s loony or should go to an orthodontist. Which makes me wonder whether said fuckwits are all thinking that billionaires are great. If that’s the case they really are fuckwits

To suggest that having lived a life so grim that even an English tribunal will grant you asylum, and to have somehow managed to get here at great risk to life, is a "golden ticket" is absolutely fucking contemptible. Shame on this so-called Labour Party.

Absolutely yes. A once in a lifetime supermajority and a chance to implement real change completely wasted
Labour within 18 months have laid waste to the values they once stood for.
The good will and extensive political capital they were granted have been burned through, faster than their beloved aviation fuel.
All that remains now is a shell of deluded loyalists trying to defend the indefensible.
