Makes me feel a bit sick that Reeves said today she “won’t preside over a status quo that punishes children for the circumstances of their birth”, given she’s been perfectly happy to do just that since July 2024, and is only changing this now to try and save her own neck. Contemptible ghoul

Rent caps. Rent caps. Rent caps. Rent caps. Rent caps.

Our hearts go out to all those affected by the horrific fire in Hong Kong. We are thinking of every family waiting for news, mourning loved ones, or holding onto hope for those still missing. To the families, friends and communities, we stand with you. You are not alone.

Me, an atheist: Your holiness I stand ready to join the crusade against the demonic computers

Paid to be stupid. They're all paid to be stupid.

On the News Agents, Jon explains today shows Labour & Reform love unaffordable welfare spending, which opens up space for the Tories to “reinvent as a Thatcherite party”. ☠️

🚨 BREAKING: Chancellor continues freeze on housing benefit – missing a crucial opportunity to prevent homelessness. As rents continue to rise, this will directly lead to homelessness for many of us. #Budget2025

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

I know its been said by far better posters but Rachel Reeves on her big day mentioning Zack Polanski and the Greens is a win for them. Completely rattled.

Labour are going to be so embarrassed when they find out they suspended 7 of their own MPs for supporting Labour Party policy.

It’s always the ones you least suspect

box of cereal is like a quid more than it was six months ago but at least now disabled people can't put their own money towards a car that's nicer than the government thinks they deserve

hehe Zack Polanski was a hypnotherapist, I chortle to myself as I wade through my inbox glancing at emails from every single service provider telling me they're terribly sorry but they simply must raise their prices again

BREAKING: Cost of Living could plummet as both Labour MPs and right wing commentators join forces to give Green Party free rent in their heads. Obsessed. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Police say he then turned the epic vulgar roast on himself

Labour MPs out here expecting to be thanked for getting rid of the two child benefit cap like they didn't literally vote to keep it last year.

Guardian currently running with some shit Starmer said in 1992, and not this? very weird

When you see "14 years of x" line, it tells you you're dealing with someone who can't analyse politics without a party lens. Britain's been governed by the same overarching philosophy since 1979, regardless of which party was in power. And without understanding that, you won't understand anything.

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

Wonder why Labour want to scrap the right to appeal 🤔

and when deciding what Scotland’s financial needs are did the Chancellor also engage with our elected Scottish Government or just her pal

The truth 🐊

Crapping themselves.

You could make practically every bus route in England free for the cost of extending the fuel duty cut.

Again - utterly amazing how the right wing propaganda network created a moral panic over Motability that punishes people for using their own money how they like, while the scheme is out here giving £7 billion a year to a company owned by four big high street banks.

If you are eligible for the mobility component of PIP, you can spend *your own money* topping that up to have a great accessible car. Critics should ask: Why are you against this? What it is about disabled people that makes you believe it’s wrong to have nice things they paid for themselves?

“The Motability scheme was set up to protect the most vulnerable. Not to subsidise the lease on a Mercedes Benz,” Reeves says. Misleading and nasty in equal measure.

Beaming this idea directly into Zack Polanski's brain - politicians who use PFI should be made to stand trial for defrauding the state.

At the Budget, the Chancellor just announced 250 new Neighbourhood Health Centres... ... but didn't mention their decision to use private finance to fund them 🧐 Why? Are they ashamed of their plan to resurrect the corpse of PFI in our NHS? They should be. #AutumnBudget

The very first thing the Prime Minister does is use the household budget metaphor. A metaphor - this report into BBC coverage - said could be "easily misleading." Why is the government trying to mislead the country?

Honestly a win-win; the Zone 2 political journalist class gets punished, and they trash the Labour government in return.

What can I say, the UK govt loves expensive boondoggles.

There is apparently a mansion tax for properties over £2 million so expect to see a lot of shit about how that's the normal price of a house these days and average people are being affected.

0.2% growth in productivity over five years from "AI". That's your revolution, lads, really? The sort of blip that could be reversed by a particularly rainy bank holiday.

But I was told there was no return to austerity???

Today, it’s a veritable smorgasbord of Help, I’ve Become Chancellor Of The World’s Sixth Largest Economy, By Mistake.

Either my workplace pension fund is absolutely incompetent and has lost a ton of money, or I'm pretty sure mine and my employer's contributions haven't been paid into it for two whole fucking years.

Guy inventing capitalism - "The most efficient way to allocate resources would be if everyone was trying to trick each other all the time."

We have to be fascists because of mismanagement 😉

Once again, shitposting is somehow akin to prophecy. Actually has the fucking chess board out lmao

This is the thing to hang onto - I’m glad people are appalled by Farage’s Nazi sympathies now, but the fact is, he was able to present TV programmes and constantly appear as a sofa guest for decades, booked by people who knew it all. We must reckon with that.

lmao

Again - all we're asking of the super rich is that they simply get richer at a slower rate. If they scream and cry and threaten to leave over that, then I'm afraid much harsher action is justified to redistribute wealth.

John Redwood was my MP growing up, he came to our school just after 9K fees were passed and we just spent the whole time he was meant to be speaking to our year bollocking him about the Iraq War and tuition fees and he was so owned he cried about it on his now defunct blog.

anyone know how to bust someone out of jail for one last job before retirement

While everyone is worrying about a Reform government, a Labour one is already taking away our rights
