Two courses in a pleasant pub at the weekend for 4 people with drinks cost us around £140.
Under Reform, it would be 10p cheaper.
Anyone who thinks it's worth plunging 1000s of families into poverty is a twat.

So they engineered the financial crisis and then paid Mandelson to fight regulations to prevent a repeat. They engineered Brexit and are manipulating the far right in 🇪🇺 to destabilise 🇪🇺 to prevent regulation that would keep their grubby fingers out of the till.
It's not just Labour compromised.

a uk government cabinet member, bankrolled by Epstein and possibly others over major fiscal UK gov policies is quite the scandal for the ages.
EXCLUSIVE:
Lord Peter Mandelson lobbied the US government on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein and Jes Staley in 2010 when he was business secretary, using their talking points in conversations with an American official about financial-crisis reforms

Most worrying thing about recent revelations is that everything was happening in plain sight
Those of us engaged in radical politics at the time pointed to the corruption and were dismissed as conspiracy theorists
Most journalists still ignoring the important issues of corruption and manipulation

1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.”
This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵
