Abbott skewers Starmer on cuts

Keir #Starmer has been urged to stop referring to his plans to slash the benefits budget by billions as being “moral”

Mother of the House Diane Abbott told Starmer, “there is nothing moral” about taking an axe to social security net

“This is not about #morality, this is about the Treasury’s wish to balance the country’s books on the back of the most #vulnerable & #poor people in this society.”

GB Energy was always just a wet dream from some Labour policy writer. Full of ‘hints’ of promises, none of which will ever be achieved (or frankly were ever intended to be so). Meanwhile a lot of Scottish voters bought into that (and Grangemouth and Austerity)

A relatively small number of people did vote for this government (GINO it often seems), but FPTP and a certain economy with the actualité got them to where they are. And GDP as they use it is largely irrelevant to many people). Not that the Tories or 'Reform' would be any better, and even the nationalist partieds tend to toe the orthodoxy line.

The waiting list comes from data compiled by PHS, England uses different metrics. It includes those waiting to be seen for an appointment or admitted for treatment in-hospital or outpatients. It double-counts the same patient if they are seeking multiple treatments. There is more misrepresentation. All four countries need to improve - but Labour will not make that possible.
