We've had austerity for 15 years now, and the result is 14 million UK adults who don't have enough money to feed themselves.
When is austerity supposed to start working?
Is it soon?

Unpaid carers are not outside the economy — they hold it together. They prevent admissions, reduce pressure on services & save government billions
They receive less than £12 a day
Minimum wage is £12.21 p/hr! The correct term? Economically active through essential unpaid labour
Yesterday the first British political figure in recent times was sentenced to 10½ years for Russian collusion.
It was on barely any front pages, covered for a day and was ignored when it broke besides @carolecadwalla’s fearless reporting.
Why? Because he was a Reform leader.
If Keir Starmer counted unpaid carers as workers, unemployment figures would collapse overnight. Thousands of us are doing 50–100hr weeks, keeping health & social care afloat, yet are accused of “doing nothing.” The biggest workforce in the UK is the one nobody pays.

honestly once i get over my burnout, depression, creative block, doomscrolling addiction, tendency to over intellectualize & avoidant behaviors then you’ll see
That Channel 4 documentary on Hitler's DNA. They decided he might have been autistic and ADHD. Then they rolled out Simon Baron-Cohen to try to minimise the damage to autistic and ADHD people that associating Hitler with them will inevitably do. Then they decided - AFTER linking Hitler with autism/ADHD - that Hitler was also a psychopath. Which is of course the ONLY neurodevelopmental factor that could explain his evil. Autism and ADHD cannot. But Channel 4 chose to talk about ADHD and autism first, thereby giving the impression that these were also factors. What a truly evil thing to do. Maybe the producers of this documentary should be tested for psychopathy themselves.
yall racism is showing when you talk about Cynthia Erivo. she’s not a butch, she’s not some masculine, manly guard dog, she’s a very feminine presenting & gentle girl who knows her worth. her having a shaved head does not give yall a pass to group her with men or treat her as one. she’s literally wearing pretty flowy dresses every other day. yes she can dip in her masculine bag but so does Ariana and no one calls her a butch ??
We are just Germany in the 1930s instead of blaming Jews we are blaming migrants.
But they aren't responsible for Austerity, Brexit or the profiteering crisis.

Stop using the language of the rapist.
It is not sex with children, it is rape of children.
It is not underage girls, it is children.
It is not sex trafficking, it is rape trafficking.
No, I don't want to get a summary from AI.
No, I don't want writing assistance from AI.
No, I don't want an AI overview of my google search.
Please STOP stuffing this AI down our throats!
I do think PIP needs reform.
I think more people need help.
I think assessors need appropriate medical training.
I think people that have life long conditions that won't improve shouldn't need to keep going through this.
I'll say it again.
In England and Wales, approximately 798,000 women are sexually assaulted or raped each year.
It would be really good if all these men could stop talking about protecting women and work on educating their sons/brothers/friends/dads instead.
