@Billybobbell@twit.socialGet the Labour Party to reinstate the only 4 MPs brave enough to oppose their unfair and unwise welfare cuts. #stoppoverty #labourparty #keirstarmer
@unchartedworlds@scicomm.xyzbenefits, taxes, Starmer etc
Well done disability activists for championing (relative) fairness, care and sense. You shouldn't have had to deal with that cruel nonsense, but you led the way, and I appreciate it.
Tip of the hat to Labour rebels.
Keir Starmer you should fix the tax system now. #TaxWealthNotWork.
There's a campaign for a new 2% tax on wealth over £10,000,000, which seems entirely reasonable to me.

@unchartedworlds@scicomm.xyzgood piece from Rafael Behr on Starmer & migration
"The prime minister’s immigration approach follows a now-familiar pattern: letting fear of a difficult argument get in the way of policy that might work"
Starmer once again demonstrating an absence of leadership skills i.m.o.

@unchartedworlds@scicomm.xyz"Brian Leishman, Neil Duncan-Jordan, Rachael Maskell and Chris Hinchcliffe will now sit as independent MPs."
“I firmly believe that it is not my duty as an MP to make people poorer, especially those that have suffered because of austerity and its dire consequences.”
- Brian Leishman, MP for Alloa and Grangemouth, one of many who voted against the government’s disability benefit cuts.
Respect to the rebels, for voting with their consciences even when it got them into trouble!
I wonder if any of them will join up with Corbyn & Sultana's new thing?

@unchartedworlds@scicomm.xyz"Want to import toxic chemicals into Britain with scant scrutiny? Labour says: go right ahead"
George Monbiot explains:
"Yes, these proposals might reduce costs for business. But the inevitable result is to transfer them to society. ...
"Many have paid with their lives, health, education or livelihoods for previous “bonfires of red tape”: through the Grenfell Tower disaster, filthy rivers, collapsing classrooms, consumer rip-offs and the 2008 financial crisis. But as long as these costs can be shifted off corporate and current government balance sheets, that is deemed a win for business and win for the Treasury."

"Labour’s only hope is to convince voters that on immigration, like Brexit or fiscal policy, what right wing populists offer is fool’s gold. This should be possible, because it happens to be true."
