Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

Boris Johnson was born abroad. I wonder what could possibly be the difference between him and the example below in the minds of not at all racist people?
Nus Ghani MP - the Deputy Speaker - moved to the UK as a small child. She has been elected by the voters in Wealden in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2024
More outright racism from the regular GB News & Talk TV contributor Lucy White - who previously called (on GB News) for all Muslims to leave Britain

I know who Nus Ghani MP is - not because we always agree - but because she’s been serving her constituency (as well as lewks) since 2015.
Who the hell is Lucy White?!
Ah, a quick google search reveals her as a rentagob for GB ‘news.’
I know which one is qualified to chair the budget debate.

Something catches in ex-Tory Danny Kruger’s throat as he says Reform is a robust “centre-right” 🤣 party.
He was on Politics Live to critique the budget, encourage *some* types of people to have more children and, of course, to dutifully dismiss Nigel Farage’s “offensive banter”.

The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.

Cheering the two child limit ending isn’t patting Starmer’s Labour on the back or ignoring his record. It’s acknowledging 8 years of hard campaigning and ridding the country of a cruel, toxic policy. Half a million children won’t be hungry anymore. Celebrate today. Tomorrow, pick the next fight.

Disabled people choose these brands bc they come with a guaranteed replacement vehicle WHICH IS ESSENTIAL IF YOU'RE DISABLED.
They pay the difference themselves.
So all you've done is tell disabled CEOs/working disabled people that they have to drive a Kia.
