"The Conservative Party may have changed their arguments over the course of history, but their anti-worker, pro-greed ideology remains precisely the same as it has always been."
"Whilst the Labour Party was founded in 1900 by ordinary people to support the interests of ordinary people, the Tories have always been the party of the super-rich, and they’re not likely to change their ways any time soon."
"Whilst almost every British citizen will have some disagreements with policies of each major party, the fact remains that if you decide to hand vote to Tories – and you’re not one of the privileged super-rich few – you’ve been brainwashed into voting against your own interests."

"It is not so much a plan as a pretence, where the (UK) government is abdicating responsibility for protecting its high-risk citizens by “advising” them to remove themselves from everyday life."

State discrimination against "high-risk citizens"?!?

"Levelling up"!!! 🤣🤣🤣
"The impact is already clear enough: research by the charity Scope ahead of the rule changes found only 2% of disabled people said they felt safe."
"Ministers have essentially invented unofficial shielding, asking millions of people to isolate themselves, but to do so this time without even minimal support from the state. There are now no concrete or consistent protections at work for clinically vulnerable employees."

"Johnson’s rank unfitness for office is evident in his lack of a domestic policy agenda: his “levelling up” speech last week was devoid of substance on how his government might seek to reverse the impact of a decade of spending cuts on the least affluent parts of the country,..."
"...together with the unequal impact Brexit is forecast to have in the coming years. It is evident in the way Brexit has played out so far: the ideological drive for a hard Brexit with no consideration of the consequences for the stability of Northern Ireland ..."

WHEN did it become legally acceptable for a Government to put political ideology before the lives of the population that expect it to act in their interests?

"Article 2 of the Human Rights Act protects your right to life."

"This means that nobody, including the Government, can try to end your life."
"It also means the Government should take appropriate measures to safeguard life by making laws to protect you and, in some circumstances, by taking steps to protect you if your life is at risk."

"On Monday, government published its Elections Bill – which represents the biggest change to Britain’s franchise in a generation."
"Under the proposals, the roughly two million people who lack photo ID in the UK will be effectively locked out of democracy."

🤣🤣🤣
"Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, All the king's horses and all the king's men, Couldn't put Humpty together again. He fell off the wall* - from the highest high - so high!"

"“Come to us with your vision about how you will level up,” Johnson said in a somewhat freewheeling speech in Coventry, one which spent considerable time detailing the problems of regional inequality, but had few immediate policies."
