Re: Monday 4th March 2024

Shadow work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall: there will be “no option for a life on benefits” under a Labour government...

Re: Monday 4th March 2024

Why the assumption that the latter thing can only be achieved by nefarious means - shouldn't we actually hope for a healthier population under Labour? SOME PEOPLE CANNOT WORK.

Re: Saturday 2nd & Sunday 3rd March 2024

Re: Saturday 2nd & Sunday 3rd March 2024

It was completely bizarre, I can't remember a Prime Minister standing in front of 10 Downing Street making a statement that left everyone going 'Huh?'

No, the SNP and Tories did a totally cynical and transparent Molotov-Ribbentrop style deal to screw over Labour. And were then shocked when Labour didn't take it lying down. Ultimately, the Tories pulled the plug because they knew there was a good chance their own spoiler amendment was going down t...
