I think we all now know because a judge says something this administration will only adhere to what they want to. Wherever those messages are, wherever that journalist has stored them needs to be kept very safe indeed.

Because this is why many people voted for Labour isn't it, they thought the UK's poorest and most vulnerable needed protecting from the Tories as we all did. Turns out Labour voters were wrong. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

You know, wasn't it a Tory idea that if you make sick/poverty stricken people poorer it incentivises them to work? Yes, thought so.

The anxiety level for millions is through the roof. How are they going to claw back £5 billion a year unless they drastically cut benefit payments? From the poorest and most vulnerable. How you treat them shows the world exactly the sort of leader you are @Keir_Starmer.

The lack of detail is causing dreadful anxiety. *How* are they going to save £5 billion a year if they aren't cutting benefit payments drastically, especially as they are going to provide new support services? The anxiety is completely warranted. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Those who work with people on benefits, especially the disabled, know the hardship living with little money causes. I am sick and tired of the weakest and most vulnerable being hit by gments to 'save' money (when in the long term it won't) and the richest aren't. Tax the rich - but fairly.

I unfortunately can't remember the source but I watched an interview whereby an economist was saying that many rich people would stay because their support systems and roots were here. So few would leave that it wouldn't make a difference. And taxing people relative to their earnings *IS* fair.

On 10 March 2025, Tesla share price plunged by at least 15% to $222. Since the price peaked at $479.86, it has fallen by over half, wiping more than $800bn from its stock market value. And this is why Musk is starting to look very wobbly in interviews. Source CNBC.

All he sees countries as are pieces of real estate. His mind only works in dollars. He has no understanding of sovereignty, land borders or nationalities. Europe had better step up if one foot of one American soldier steps over into Canada in an aggressive manner.

And this is why the poor are always at such a disadvantage. You have to have money to make money and trying to get out of that cycle of just making ends meet is very, very difficult indeed. And why, most of presumed, the Labour Party would help. It seems we were wrong.

I cannot imagine how many frightened, petrified sick people with chronic disabilities are now in absolute pieces scared to death they will lose their benefits. Every time a government does this, people die. The most vulnerable and weak in society. Shame on you Keir Starmer.
