You are insulting everyone's intelligence.
I spoke about the £20bn / year shortfall throughout the election, over and over again.
As I said, the media let you get away with it.
You could tax the rich instead of slashing investment. You're making a choice.
The Tories left Britain's finances in their worst state since the Second World War.
This Labour Government will take tough decisions to deliver the long-term solutions that will make you better off.

After careful consideration, I am confident that the single most clinically effective way to quash any potential interest in literature, reading or poetry is the GCSE English Literature syllabus. A laser-guided method for taking something joyous and making it hateful.

Gorgeous day for a nurses’ strike outside Great Ormond St Hospital. So grateful for their unmatched care & skill. Now let’s get them the fucking pay rise they deserve & that the nation can *easily* afford. Austerity is a choice so change your mind or get in the bin!✊🏼❤️@theRCN

We are delighted that MPs have passed legislation to establish buffer zones around abortion clinics in England and Wales.
At BPAS, we have been working tirelessly for almost a decade to end anti-abortion clinic harassment.
Thank you to everyone who has campaigned alongside us!

a policy explicitly designed to push people into penury unless they accept exploitative wages, rather pressure employers to raise wages to entice applicants. poverty is a tool of coercion for capital and the conservative party, an essential component of its continued survival
