Could #Starmer be in for a benefits rebellion as tribes clash in his own party?
#Labour may have ditched its factional in-fighting - but deep welfare cuts could reignite tensions.
www.bbc.comCould Keir Starmer be in for a benefits rebellion as tribes clash in his own party? - Laura KuenssbergLabour may have ditched its factional in-fighting - but deep welfare cuts could reignite tensions.
"There is still time for the Labour cabinet to act like a cabinet, and for its members to stand up to the Treasury to halt the cuts in benefits to the sick and disabled, and to insist on a more flexible interpretation of the fiscal rules and a limited set of tax measures."

#Skwawkbox | Starmer just abolished the NHS, not just the ‘NHS England’ quango
"Presented as an efficiency move, to get rid of duplicate layers of management within the NHS, it is in fact a move to complete the long-underway break-up of the National Health Service into 42 autonomous ‘Integrated Care Boards’ (ICBs) that will each independently commission services – and will be incentivised not to treat people, by giving ICBs a share of the ‘savings’ generated by rationing or withholding care."

Wes Streeting folks, barely got elected into his seat, now fucking about with the NHS in adoration of a Rapist.
This Labour are 'centre left' in the way that the Dems are 'left', as in ....they are not.
"..the climate crisis poses a bigger existential threat to this country than Putin does – or ever will, so if money can be found for the military there’s no reason why it couldn’t also be found to accelerate the drive for self-sufficiency in clean energy. That might really do something for national security"

"Some MPs have told the BBC that potential changes to payments for disabled people would be "unacceptable" and they "wouldn't wear it". The detail of the plans will be unveiled next week by Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall, and the full scale of spending reductions unveiled by the chancellor the week after in the Spring Statement."

Something of which they have little knowledge (other than it seems to produce the right words), no control over the sources/data/slgorithms... What do we have to loose?

Things just keep getting worse for Tulip - once ;anti corruption minister’ In the Starmer government
Of course this needs to be proven in a court of law, but her involvement in her families dealings in very murky corruption should surely have been a warning flag to him.

Lest we forget:
“Keir Starmer is without moral rectitude. He is a deceiver, utterly duplicitous, a political confidence trickster, and he surrounds himself with equally iniquitous and unvirtuous carpetbaggers, warmongers, and anti-socialist Machiavellian pantomime characters, such as the weasel Streeting.”

#Labour picks candidate to replace shamed Amesbury
Cheshire councillor Karen Shore hopes to retain the seat which Labour won at the general election.
www.bbc.comRuncorn and Helsby by-election: Labour picks candidate to replace AmesburyCheshire councillor Karen Shore hopes to retain the seat which Labour won at the general election.
How can the strategy of the #Labour Party, which raised NI for employers and therefore have made it more expensive to employ people, be reconciled with their crusade of "the moral duty of getting people back to work"
We want people to work, but we are going to make it harder for employers to create vacancies
It doesn't make sense
