How do tax rises avert austerity? Pay more to get to work. Pay more for foods in shops. The two child cap remains. Pensioners lost £350 PA. The energy cap was raised at the same time. It looks like, smells like, feels like more austerity AND more tax rises, less money in everyone’s pocket; especially working disabled, retired, ill people.
There hasn’t been a single hint that there will be taxes on the wealthy.
Hoyle has rebuked #Labour for doing what they criticised the #ToryParty for doing - leaking bits of budget already.
Getting rid of Sue Gray definitely has not stopped the leaks, the incompetence and the general dysfunction around #Starmer and the Front Bench. #ToryContinuityParty #LINO
“Hundreds block the road outside the MoJ demanding Labour ‘free political prisoners’”
by Steve Topple in The Canary @thecanaryuk
“They were there to demand Richard #Hermer, the Labour Party government’s attorney general, ‘free political prisoners‘ of groups like #JustStopOil and #PalestineAction.”

I don't think "meet the new PM, cheaper than the old one" is quite the winning argument he thinks it is.
Didn’t enough Labour MPs get elected? Other than again proving to be the #ToryContinuityParty why would any #Tory be brought into what should be a Labour government.

“DWP just ADMITTED it’s cutting winter fuel payments from 1.6 million people in poverty”
by Hannah Sharland in The Canary @thecanary @UKLabour
“As the Canary has already pointed out, this will be right as energy bills increase. This is because regulator Ofgem is raising the energy price cap from 1 October.”

“Another depraved Starmer loyalty test”
by Another Angry Voice on Substack
“Labour's case for confiscating the Winter Fuel Allowance from pensioners is based on a pack of economic lies, and Starmer's conducting yet another depraved loyalty test of Labour MPs over it.”

Horrendous catch 22 situation. If you don’t have documents you are an ‘illegal’ and should be returned, regardless of your circumstances. If you do have documents you don’t need to come, because you are not at risk. And your actual child isn’t a ‘family member’ either. This is what the #ToryCriminalsUnfitToGovern made law; and it seems #Labour as a #ToryContinuityParty are going to continue this.

"Rishi Sunak’s Conservative government banned those coming to study in the UK and those on health and care visas from bringing family members and Labour has no plans to change the policy."
What part of WE FUCKING TOLD YOU SO do you think he didn't hear?
Starmer continues to send military matériel to the IDF to facilitate genocide in #Gaza while maintaining the #TwoChildCap in the UK.
Anybody know what type of "progressive socialism" that is?

"Labour has voted to keep the two-child benefit cap in an extraordinary demonstration of the party’s reversal of its opposition to the policy.
"Keir Starmer’s party voted down the #SNP amendment to the King’s Speech calling for the policy to be axed."

An extremely long but very important thread (and its subthreads) on puberty blockers, gender-affirming care by Jolyon Maugham.
Anyone who thinks Wes Streeting will be any better, more transparent or less vindictive than Hancock et al is fucking dreaming.

"Why the British Labour party can't be compared to the French Popular Front": the Spanish press has seen through #CaptainUTurn and the #ToryContinuityParty.
"As long as the new Labour government's priorities are based on "antiscientific" public sector expenditure criteria it will be impossible to implement genuinely progressive economic and social policies or for it to differentiate itself that much from previous Conservative governments."
A non-zero number of mainstream "journalists" are in the first stages of The Great Noticing because of this front page.
"The message that we're seeing [from the European elections] is there really need to be policies that address people's most urgent needs. This idea that we're hearing [from Starmer] of fiscal rules and basically sounding like Thatcher on running a government like a household - *which is ridiculous* - is going to set the table for a far right resurgence, as it has with Scholz."
