A man of principles?
Just heard Starmer talk about how he finds child poverty abhorrent. Shame he didn’t say much about it last year…

Interesting! What we're seeing with all this new data is that the Brexit damage is only getting worse as time goes on. Companies aren't "adjusting", they're either leaving, downscaling or going under. From manufacturing to services to culture to farming and fishing, the decline is snowballing.

Starmer refusing to work with the gov that 🏴 voted for is not politics.
It's Unionism.
Starmer is saying your voice,
your vote,
your opinion,
means nothing.
Scotland’s democracy is not up for negotiation.
Ditch 🇬🇧 for a better future for us all.

Reeves basically says Scottish votes don't matter if we vote an SNP majority in 2026 it will be ignored, so I hope JS has his cunning plan ready to roll then.

Bearing in mind the cap doesn't end until April next year, the headline should read:
'Micro-Fascist Prime MInister Sir Keir Starmer Fills His Pockets While 1 in 3 British Children Starve This Christmas.'

Headline on The World at One just now:
"Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap".
Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?
