The deficit for 2023/24 was £120 BILLION and the Tories just committed to magically spending more cash on defence. From where? Who knows.

'But Corbyn' they cry.

They are still living in a complete fantasy world. They really deserve 0 seats.

Some polling gives Labour a much larger majority than 1997. The more outlandish ones show the biggest majority in a century - even more....

And yet just 27% of the public thinks Labour will make things better. It's an unprecedented situation!

This is real 🫣😅

People love an excuse for a few drinks. Start a campaign to make it a bank holiday? Do an event next year?

Or whinge about how oppressed you are…There’s a part of the right which embodies everything they claim to dislike about the left.

Tory policy over the last 14 years has often been indistinguishable from an accelerationist cell trying to ensure the collapse of the British state (this wasn’t the case for about a year under Boris).

And the media called it ‘economic credibility’ 🤡

every right wing guy donor that made sure college campuses had to host ben shapiro and milo yianapolis 'for free speech' is currently calling for the national guard to come take care of 18 year olds who dare speak out against israels unconscionable actions.

Thing is, central London literally is a no go zone for me right now, having been gay bashed up by far right activists, assaulted and repeatedly mobbed.

If I went anywhere near here, I would be absolutely attacked.

Unfortunately I’m left wing so this doesn’t count!

Much of the last decade has seen the right wing media claiming these herberts represent a massive slice of the country.

They don’t.

Imagine getting boozed up and fighting with the police on a Tuesday lunchtime over…well I don’t know actually. 🫣😅

Happy St Georges day! Let an England flag illegally dumped in ancient bluebell woodland remind us of the madness of professing to love our country whilst allowing its rivers to be polluted with sewage, its ancient trees to be felled & its precious landscapes littered with plastic

I still don't get why the modern Tory party haven't done this regarding a bank holiday today...

It's the sweetspot between Easter and the May Bank Holiday.

I guess they just don't like nice things!

This is insane.

£1 million - and it'll be a lot more if Dalalli wins her case.

Turns out Quangos and NGOs make exceptionally stupid decisions when they take the lead from interest groups and hashtags on Twitter!
