A lot of hatred towards the lifting of the two child benefit cap - largely coming from the ‘we should look after our own brigade’.
Please let me tell you, my lived experience of a child growing up in a single parent home on benefits is far from the fantasy your wet dreams lead you to believe!

Interesting…the UK political class welcomed a Brexit referendum despite the damage it has now caused.
But the same voices, don’t welcome a wealth tax because the impact it would have to us poor folk! Why not suggest a referendum and let democracy decide?

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Shameful!
Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy was intentional to portray him as ungrateful to the American people in order to legitimise his position to withdraw support from Ukraine. It’s a classic example of projective identification!

Jeez. This is absolutely appalling & shameful from Trump and Vance. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin
