  1. Sons of Toil, Part I: The Toolmaker’s Bequest

    Keir Rodney Starmer came into the world named after the great Scottish agitator who opposed a popular war and was expelled from Parliament for it. The naming was the most radical act the Starmer family would perform for the next six decades. After that, everything moved in precisely the opposite direction.

  4. Germany was not the only non-US country represented in the #LoggerEIO #smishing attack (so far).

    There was one version of a page claiming to be the Spanish highway authority, Dirección General del Tráfico (DGT), that warns you owe a 100 Euro fine (multa) for some kind of driving infraction you committed, that must be paid within 24 hours.

    More recently, I spotted a flood of pages that claim to be from the UK government's Winter Fuel Payment program. The real program helps impoverished people not freeze to death in winter by subsidizing the high cost of heating. But this page simply wants your credit card to "test" charge your card for £1 on the promise that you'll get up to £300.

  6. And it was Nigel Farage who got them to change their mind because they ignored the rest of us for 6 months but then Nigel says something about it and suddenly Labour can find the money....

    the rest of us don't matter to Westminster, it's just the Rich and the Bigots....

  8. Labour's decision to cut Winter Fuel Payments for pensioners has backfired, contributing to their local election losses. Now, they're considering a U-turn. Was this policy misstep avoidable? #WinterFuelPayment #LabourPolicy theguardian.com/politics/live/

  12. #RosieDuffield has quit #Labour saying #Starmer's recent decisions: winter fuel payments to pensioners and the choice to keep the two child benefit cap was "cruel".

    In her letter of resignation, she wrote: "Forcing a vote to make many older people iller and colder while you and your favourite colleagues enjoy free family trips to events most people would have to save hard for - why are you not showing even the slightest bit of embarrassment or remorse?"

  14. To be fair, we’ve all had £32000 to spend on clothes given to us, this isn’t corrupt in any way. No It’s not the same as the tories, it’s different because of reasons ….. reasons we can can’t discuss

  16. Then around your neck this policy shall hang. Get ready for the news stories about pensioners dying in their homes over Christmas, and remember that was her choice.....instead of taxing the Rich.

    I admit, I've been a bit confused over the winter fuel payment drama as I thought it was about giving pensioners allowance for car fuel, and I'm aware pensioners have access to bus pass, so I've been really confused.

    Now I'm aware it's about paying for heating, yes this is a really weird and cruel thing to do, and a very weird hill to die on.
