Yeah we get it, No 10 wants to erase Minorities like their masters in Washington do.

Starting off with Trans people and Refugees, two groups Western societies tend not to give a fuck about.
It's no mystery, it's nothing new, it's just Fascism

The Guardian · Downing Street happy to dip its toe into culture wars in row with Sentencing CouncilBy Peter Walker

Lol, why have a 'director of Communications' when you don't listen to anyone at all?

"The senior special adviser is understood to have decided to go after feeling he had stabilised No 10’s communications strategy and narrative over the past few months, following the turbulence of the early days in government"

lol, 'job done' do you think?

The Guardian · Keir Starmer’s communications chief quits after nine monthsBy Pippa Crerar

The racist POS who wants women barefoot, pregnant and back behind the kitchen sink, with no autonomy over their lives or their bodies; while he supports white men for all the jobs and careers. He’s already raised the idea of reducing womens autonomy so they are forced to give birth. His Ltd Co masquerading as as Political Party needs to be shut down and bankrupted.

/3 edited #SpringStatement Rachel Reeves has failed to “fix the foundations” and has resorted to the kind of “sticking-plaster solutions” to which Keir Starmer said the Tories were addicted. The Independent View
Rachel Reeves will soon be back to squeeze us again. It was not a Budget, but it had as much impact as one
From the Independent. (so Indy it's behind a f'ing paywall. Free speech, my rse!). #UKPolitics #Economics

The View from Westminster
Spring statement overtaken by events already. Within hours of Rachel Reeves’s spring statement yesterday, Donald Trump announced 25 per cent tariffs on all car imports to the US to take effect in a week. –that would negate the chancellor’s announcements at a stroke. Having just restored her £9.9bn headroom against her self-imposed fiscal rules in the forecast for 2029, American tariffs would wipe it out.

About time, these bloody scroungers. Why can’t kids get a job like normal people - All of them are also immigrants from their mums womb as well. I didn’t vote Brexit for ‘kids’ to take all the money that bus gives to the NHS like Boris & Nige said. 
Kids, where were they in two world wars, bring back the workhouse

Silvia Galandini, of the poverty charity Oxfam, said: “We live in the sixth-richest country in the world where billionaires alone saw their wealth soar by £11bn last year. It is morally repugnant that children, disabled people and carers are the ones who are taking the hit.”
