Really struck today by how many of the people most responsible for the Brexit shitshow were actively rewarded for their stupidity/dishonesty. Knighthoods, Damehoods, peerages, newspaper columns, seats in the House of Commons… It’s a mark of how deep the rot has gone into the fabric of our society.

King Charles took one of his two helicopter's on his visit to one of the two food banks that he opened.

These two helicopters cost 20x as much as the Food Banks.

And you pay for it all.

Boris Johnson, 2019:

Elon Musk has called for Nigel Farage to be replaced as leader of Reform UK, saying he doesn’t “have what it takes.”

Private equity profiteering from children's misery.

Compass Community has financialised foster care. Profits up from £3m to £10.8m.

Fees double/triple compared to what councils could charge.

Low pay, lack of workers' rights are hallmarks.

End privatisation.

Labour breaking yet another election pledge is one thing, but the timing of briefing this is, well, insane.

The people running the country are incompetent, and it seems actually insane.

The freezing weather is a stark reminder of why the government’s decision to means-test Winter Fuel Payments was cruel & wrong — & why I voted against it in September.

Every winter, elderly people die because they can’t afford to stay warm.

The Conservatives target Khan because racists disproportionately hate him (or at times just because they’re also being racist, eg 2016 mayoral election). Right wing media target him for the same reasons. Then someone at the BBC coughs awkwardly and suggests they follow up the Mail/Tel stories

Hmm. Liz Kendall sure changed her tune on the WASPI women issue. Screeching u-turn.

Here are a number of past examples (snapshots taken from her Twitter account) from back when she used to try and make electoral hay from their plight.

But now Labour are in power, hypocrisy is the order of the day.

“The economic cost of Brexit, reliably estimated at around 5% of GDP and with a total loss to government coffers by 2035 of over £300bn, is unlikely to be offset by attempting to ‘make Brexit work’ – a slogan which rather confirms that it hasn’t”
