Labour once more attacking the vulnerable and already marginalized. Yes, more needs to be done to help young people, along with others, find employment, but not at expense of disabled people's lives. It's irrelevant someone's age if they need disability support 1/ www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Anyone still backing Labour is backing a right wing party that is attacking multiple minorities. The only change with Burnham is the PR. Still the same evil.

I like the part of Zack Polanski’s speech about moving back to your parents’ home to save money, and how months turn into years. Our first home should be affordable.

Yes, look: if a political movement splits into a huge bloc of millions of civilians baying for racially-based genocide and getting it, and a far, far smaller bloc who wring their hands and ask for the same in a less overtly bloodthirsty manner, there really isn’t much debate over whether it’s racist

As a disabled person it's certainly notable how upset liberals like Ian Dunt are about the Greens condemning genocidal ethnonationalism vs how absolutely silent they are on yet more harm being inflicted on disabled people.

Burnham's going after the young disabled. When he could support them, and tax the tax-dodgers. Starmer's father was a toolmaker, Burnham's from the North, that's all the change the UK's got.

Tons of people were assuring us just yesterday that Burnham laid out an epic and cool road map to socialism. I guess destroying the lives of a bunch of young disabled people is part of that somehow. Probably too smart for me to get it.
