This game of life we play
often proves challenging as fuck
like trying to play badminton
with celery and a hockey puck

Class boots from @PMullin7 👏

Designed to oppose this government and its attacks on working people.

But his club @Wrexham_AFC have banned them.

[Enough is Enough @eiecampaign]

A billionaire Prime Minister who no-one elected.

Imposing austerity policies that destroy public services, drive down wages and push millions into poverty.

While the wealth of millionaires and billionaires grows every year.

That’s the future – unless we fight.
