All centrists and fascists vile actions destroy lives. You must stop supporting them. Say no to Reform, no to the Tories and no to Labour. Elected again will bring great dispear. Make your new year resolution to NEVER vote for them again.
The conflation of "foreign criminals" and "illegal migrants" is disgusting.
Vile when some people don't have a safe route to flee from the utter detestation & brutality of war.
It's all grim enough without the Labour Government pushing further misinformation.

Another reason we need Zack Polanski as PM and The Green Party in Government.
UK households cut spending at fastest pace in 5 years.
Average real wage stuck at 2008 level.
Energy, water, broadband, rents, grocery, dentist, vets prices rising at more than CPI.
Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%.
Can't rebuild without redistribution.

Labour, Tories, & Reform really need to be independently investigated for breaches in law and observance of the Ministerial Code. Key figures must then accept the findings and banned from politics for life. Neoliberals are without compassion or compass, the rats evade investigation. Stop the sleaze!
By all means investigate Farage for alleged fraud in Clacton, but why was Labour Together allowed to get away with not declaring donations for years?

Housing crisis, banks failing, Public Utilities sold to PE who run them down to collapsing point, regulations to protect the people ripped up, high inflation, fuel & food poverty. The cause: centrist & hard right Govt since 1979. & Reform want to rob you of all rights. So Vote for hope #VoteGreen 💚
Many years ago the norm was cheap rented housing for the low paid & mortgages for the better paid. People were loaned only what they could pay back. Interest rates were @6%. Banking was regulated. In 1979 came Neoliberalism. Banking was deregulated which caused runaway house prices/rent eversince.

Are Labour now further RW than the Tories? They boast about cutting support to the sick 50%.
Labour chose to mimic Reform losing them most of their support because of Starmer's vision of the Party. Unless the left wing leave and unite with other true socialist Parties, Reform will Govern in 2029.

I have #cellulitis in my leg and foot. I don't find people making a joke of the disease funny. I'd like Govt's to know how painful it is and if not treated it is terminal.

Is this Labour's welfare vision - to deny disabled people support, thereby forcing them into destitution and coercing them to commit suicide?
Or maybe diagnosis is at last catching up with the crises so many have been enduring, which have for so long been minimised, dismissed or ignored.
