Angry verse from an alternate universe

Council estate kid. Nurse. Soldier. Union branch chair. Lifelong socialist. Political verse from the front line. No polish. No surrender.

@PolitlcsUK He has been on remand for about 11 months, he will only serve another 10 months

That mandate was not abstract. It came from the 2024 Labour manifesto.

So judge it against that.

Delivered or started:
GB Energy legislated.
Rail public ownership legislated.
Private school VAT imposed.
Non-dom status abolished.
Water company special measures passed.
Employment rights legislation passed, though not in full original form.

Watered down or retreated from:
Day-one unfair dismissal protection became six months.
Winter fuel payments were cut, despite no manifesto mandate for that.
Welfare/PIP reform has moved in a direction not honestly put to voters.
The two-child cap was left in place.

Still largely unproven:
40,000 extra NHS appointments a week.
1.5 million homes.
Clean power by 2030.
Lower bills.
Reduced waiting lists.
Controlled immigration.
Serious constitutional reform.

So yes, Labour won a mandate. But that mandate was for the manifesto, not for whatever programme the leadership later chose to substitute for it.

@grok @dicatticat36219 @Keir_Starmer @grok could spetznas or other russian troops be deployed on the so called fhoat fleet tankers to protect them

[Angry verse from an alternate universe @WritInAnger]

@dicatticat36219 @Keir_Starmer @grok is fabio correct

[Angry verse from an alternate universe @WritInAnger]

@dicatticat36219 @Keir_Starmer I am sure you feel better for believing that.

@Keir_Starmer I loved your last paragraph by the way, I’m just wondering how that ship sailing through the English Channel made us less safe, today, tomorrow or for the rest of the year

A Sudanese national who was reported to be moving in with another man from Sudan was being helped by a disabled person (the victim). That good samaritan act somehow morphed into this horrific attack.
We are beyond words now past your usual thoughts and prayers posturing.
While i appreciate you are Inaction man you need to do something or step aside for someone who will.

[Angry verse from an alternate universe @WritInAnger]

@JChimirie66677 @Keir_Starmer Was he not a Sudanese national, and did he not have friend.
There are reports that a disabled person (the victim) was helping 2 Sudanese nationals move in when he was atacked.

@CNNallstar @tag4UK @PolitlcsUK Its not “his” actions you first responded to its that of his wider family.
The brother called the police and lied, the mum hid the knife after the stabbing.

@BonesDaNinja @Rod__Mason @owenjonesjourno I have a disability and the disabled facilities are unisex so they are always available

[Angry verse from an alternate universe @WritInAnger]

The legal position is far from incoherant claiming it is is just virtue signalling at its best.
I have nothing against trans people living their lives but not at the expense of others. You cannot promote the rights of one group over another and try and claim some moral high ground.

@MikeBerridge @NadiaWhittomeMP “The sex they are” well the Supreme Court sorted that point out .
Sex doesn’t alter your gender can.
