This whole Labour government led by Keir Starmer doesn't seem to be working in the interests of the people. All the money from the Private health sector and Israel are having a huge effect. It is time for a change and that means a different front bench.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

In opposition, Attlee promised far reaching reforms, yet in 1945 Britain was near bankrupt. Upon taking office he was told to abolish those reforms. No deterred, what followed is a remarkable story. Labour nationalised industries, and created a national health service.
