How extraordinary! The Conservatives have failed to meet their pledges on NHS funding.
Is anyone surprised?

The Conservatives' supposed commitment to defence of the UK isn't borne out by the facts, is it?

The % of GDP spent on defence is LOWER than when the Tories came to power.

Should we be welcoming the development of retatrutide, the 'Godzilla of weight-loss jabs', proven to help people lose up to 25kg in less than a year?

Obese & overweight people are much more likely to be off work through illness.

Should the UK follow countries like Japan & South Korea by implementing a fat tax or surcharge on fattening food and beverages & fining companies employing too many fat people?

Having wrecked the UK economy with their ridiculous 'Hard Brexit', it's difficult for the Conservatives to whip up fear of what damage a Labour government could do to the country, isn't it?

The UK government says too many undeserving people are being paid Personal Independence Payment benefits.

Meanwhile it's rejecting 25% of PIP applications from amputees & more than 40% from people with multiple sclerosis (MS), cerebral palsy & arthritis.

Is this reasonable?

Under humanitarian law that Israel has said it observes, combatants are required to minimize civilian casualties and to use force that is proportional to the military gain...

While Dominic Cummings may be right in saying 'the Tories now obviously represent nothing except a continuation of the shitshow', is he correct to suggest Labour 'will not alter the current trajectory very much'?

'Everything will keep failing & everyone will be even more miserable.'

It seems Dominic Cummings has set himself two challenges: To create a new political party to replace the 'rotten Tory horror show' and form a government at the election after next.

What are the odds?
