In case you won’t believe it from disabled people, this is what someone at the very top of a charity - someone who the government themselves wanted to honour - rejecting that honour because of how horrifically disabled people have been treated under Labour.

My whole life, every vote, for Labour.

Granted, I wasn’t paying attention to politics pre election and I just voted for Labour out of habit.

Now I feel stupid. I feel dumb. I feel conned. Labour has lied and tricked all of us and they expect us to just eat the dirt they are serving up.

Labour radicalised me, to join the Green Party. We've seen this before, they lie and ruin everything, then refuse to accept responsibility.

They’ve been active participants in and laundered a genocide, demonised asylum seekers, given their support for flag-shagging racists, taken support away from disabled people and are violently transphobic. Happy to help Duncan!
Glad the FT is asking the question. Even if I’m not convinced they found a compelling answer.
I get that Starmer & Reeves are unpopular, I really don’t understand the extent of the dislike.

Starmer had disabled family. He brutally slashed welfare for disabled people and he’s terrified the vulnerable. I should know, I have family who despise this disgusting party because of that.

A woman who was given an end of year honour returned it because of that.

Do you understand?

The Galaxy Brained Sensibles are having such trouble getting why Starmer is universally loathed cos he's a *cipher for them & their politics* Bt cos they're so convinced abt how marvellous they are they're unable to acknowledge people don't actually like their economics of despair & politics of lies

“The idea that squeezing a tiny elite of billionaires will pay for everything is fantasy and we do need to expose that.”

Good job no one’s ever actually said that - including me.

So why is Labour again repeatedly lying to avoid taxing the super-rich?

A friend who utterly betrays you is always hated more than someone who’s always been an enemy. For people on the left - particularly with immigrant family, friends and colleagues - this feels like a complete betrayal.

The Fabian Society has stood and watched the Labour Party vandalise our country with attacks on migrants, marginalised and vulnerable people.

The only fantasy is voting Labour and thinking you are doing good.

If you vote Labour you are harming our country.
