  1. “Rich right-wingers are calling for DWP [Department for Work and Pensions] cuts in order to pay for defence”

    “Right-wing warhawks have been doubling down on calls to slash Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) welfare to fund imperialistic warmongering against Iran.

    Naturally, it’s the usual suspects spearheading the charge, namely opaquely-funded think tanks, the billionaire press, and of course, their co-conspirators in parliament.

    And once again, these rich colonial capitalist assholes all want to make poor and disabled people cannon fodder for their illegal invasions.”

  2. This is Kirsty McNeill's maiden speech as Labour MP for Midlothian where she makes her "solemn commitment" to the children of Midlothian that she will be their "champion".

    "We are all of us products of investments made in us as children" - how true Kirsty.

    She voted to keep the two-child benefit cap.

    I worked in Education in Midlothian for many years and saw first-hand the child poverty that exists there.
