So letโs just get this right. The new Labour leadership accept freebies, despite having their home/heating bills paid by the state and subsidised food/booze but have DECIDED to rob old peopleโs heating allowance.

Britain self sanctioned itself with Brexit trade barriers, making it almost impossible to export and import goods to/from our biggest market. The new deals with the RoW are worse and British businesses are suffering as thereโs less trade, less variety and higher prices.ย Labour

May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak, Starmer ... All of them have refused to tell the truth about Brexit. All of them have lied about "making Brexit work". All of them have pandered to far right xenophobes. None of them have explained how staying out of the Single Market helps the UK.

This is what happens when you refuse to offer a vision or a narrative for the future beyond "get the Tories out" and "blame the Tories". People want and deserve more. #BrexitHasFailed

Means testing was a product of the depression in 1931 it was abolished in 1942 with the arrival of the Welfare State. It was deemed too cruel in circumstances that prevailed then Poor Law of 1935 prevailed at a time of high unemployment. Mr Starmer is using antiquated law on us

UK median annual pre-tax pay in August 2024 was ยฃ29,040, about the same in real terms as in 2008. 1% of the population has more wealth than 70% of the population combined. Govts tax wages at higher rates than capital gains and dividends. It is class war https://t.co/yMu7Ewwbl4

Some 38% of Universal Credit claimants are in work. That is 2.6m people In many cases work doesn't pay enough and people's income is topped trough the welfare system. Can companies not afford to pay higher wages? Did anyone means-test them? https://t.co/WXqD50yoFB

I like many others voted #GTTO in the hope that Labour would bring positive change and restore hope. Iโm beginning to feel Iโve been conned.

This is nonsense. The standard new state pension will rise by ยฃ460 a year but only 27% of pensioners get that. The rest get the old basic state pension which 73% get will rise by ยฃ354 a year. It is misleading and plays into the wealthy pensioners trope.
