Starmer is a good PM.
He just pissed off the right people (Press barons, billionaires and fascists) who have the power and tools to make the politically illiterate believe he isn’t doing a good job.
The Daily Fail, X and GB “News” are examples of the propaganda.
First birthday & Christmas without my dad and I think the only way through (sans wine, thanks to being preggo af) is to pretend it’s not happening lol. Then next year I’ll use wine then the year after that maybe it’ll feel less like hell x
Apparently there is a report out suggesting that after the lifting of the two child benefit cap, families on benefits will be entitled to more money than the average working family. 2 things wrong with this, (possibly more)
firstly, there are many people who are on benefits who also work but have to have their wages topped up because they are too low to live on, and secondly, the methodology seems rather suspect (I know what a surprise) you see, what they've done is taken every single benefit that it is possible to claim and added them together at full rate. This is despite the fact that some benefits simply can't be claimed in conjunction with each other and therefore no person or family would ever get the figure that they suggest in the report.
Of course, the people who write this bollocks already know this, they just want to spread as much division and vitriol towards those on low incomes as they possibly can, even if many of those people are in fact working. It's truly staggering just how many people will be out there falling for this shit, and I dare say many of the people angry about this will paradoxically be claiming things like UC, because they won't realise the report is talking about them. They'll think it's talking about people they don't like, such as disabled people (who must be faking if we even dare to consider leaving the house) or 'illegal immigrants' as they call them, (who can't even claim in the first place and have never been able to)
A little newsflash to these people, the report is talking about you, it's talking about me as well, but you are not exempt from the ire of right-wing think tanks and press barons. They despise us all, the only difference is, I know that already but if you are reading this and are still not quite convinced, you'll find out eventually if Farage and Tice ever get their hands on power.
I cannot say this strongly enough:
If a person is working full-time and has to be on Universal Credit, the "benefits scrounger" is the employer.
We are subsidising companies to accrue high levels of profit while underpaying the value of their labour.
I've passed 3 bar exams, 2 of them being considered difficult (LA [civil code] and FL), all on the first attempt. I was a partner at a law firm and running a YouTube channel for the last two, which I self studied for. I'm sorry but with the amount of money and time this woman has, she's either kinda dumb, or kinda lazy, or kinda both. And filming herself crying about it is turbo cringe
Just so everyone is clear what happened here;
Waitrose, a company that makes many millions in profits, was happy to let this young man work in their stores for several years without being paid.
The moment that he asks to be paid for his time, they refuse to let him come back.
This wasn't a "placement", or about helping him to get some "work experience", this was a large company taking advantage of a young man to use him as free labour, and the moment he wasn't free anymore, they dumped him.
This isn't inclusivity, this is blatant exploitation.
