The Prime Minister says his government has got "the big political decisions right". Let's go through them.
The government chose to cut welfare so it could spend even more on weapons and war.
The government chose to demonise the sick and disabled.
The government chose to keep children in poverty until it was dragged kicking and screaming to finally scrap the two-child benefit cap.
The government chose not to bring water into public ownership, not to tax wealth and not to implement rent controls.
The government chose to arm Israel and participate in genocide.
The government chose to let the US use British air bases for its war crimes in Iran.
The government chose to let Palantir get its hands on our NHS.
The government chose to scapegoat migrants and refugees for its own failures.
Poverty, inequality and genocide. Those are the government's big decisions. And that is how this government will be remembered.
Labour’s victory at the last election was driven more by public frustration with years of Conservative failure than by genuine belief in Labour’s vision.
These local election results are exposing that reality.
David Lammy said you would not change the pilot during turbulence. But right now, Labour does not look like a steady plane flying through rough skies. It looks more like the Titanic heading towards disaster.
Voters are losing patience because they are not seeing the action they were promised. The rhetoric sounded strong in opposition, but governing requires delivery, and for many people the results so far have been deeply underwhelming.
Time is running out, and unless the party changes course quickly, the next general election will be catastrophic for them, there will be no one left to blame 🤷🏽♂️
🚨 Lambeth Council have been housing homeless and vulnerable individuals in disgusting conditions at Kenbury House.
A resident woke to cockroaches crawling on them and rats have been eating their food.
I have complained to Lambeth over months about the state of the accommodation.
Edna Mmbali Ombakho came to the UK from Kenya to study and reach her goals, only to end up being found dead in a body of water. No wall-to-wall mainstream media coverage. No televised press conference. Just one local news report followed by silence. https://t.co/kyZUqIcM5b
4 days out from my life-changing surgery, @Aetna has denied the appeal for my brain surgery.
to be clear, when i signed up to aetna months ago, the coordinator had confirmed they would cover this surgery. then, a week ago, they said the surgery was too experimental/elective and denied coverage. we appealed. that appeal was just denied today.
now, my neurosurgeon is trying to do a peer-to-peer consult with someone at aetna to explain why i need it so we don’t lose the surgery date on monday morning. aetna is not being responsive.
this is sadistic and a violation of basic trust. please spread this so they can’t ignore it. they may not care if i live or die but people should know just what kind of company they’re dealing with. and please pray they are able to have a peer-to-peer consult with my neurosurgeon and have a change of heart.
Awaabs Law HAS to be extended to the millions of renters in the private sector but also temporary accommodation, where I’ve seen first hand, so many vulnerable families continue to suffer, living in slum accommodation.
100 months since we lost our 72 loved ones in the Grenfell fire.
Still no justice.
As the Tower fades from the skyline, please keep Grenfell in your hearts. We will never forget — and we will not stop until justice is done.
The world's worst humanitarian crisis is being ignored, with over 8 million people displaced, 500,000 children dead from hunger. Cholera and war crimes spreading in silence.
This is not just a Sudanese issue — it is a test of our shared humanity. 🇸🇩
Seeing African starved kids in tv your whole life have desensitized yall to unimaginable levels. You treat us like we are disposable and non - sentient beings because why else would you be so comfortable watching a population of 25 millions starve to death?
This flag 🇸🇩 is Sudan's flag. Sudan is a country in North east Africa. It has been undergoing a genocidal proxy war for the past 2 years and 4 months.
The war in my country is brutal, 12 million people were displaced, no one knows the exact casualties until now.
The famine has reached level 5 in Sudan. It’s catastrophic to say the least. Worst famine in 40 years worldwide. But it’s barely making it into a single headline. I’m so fucking sick and tired of the world’s selective empathy and activism. You’d give a damn-
