Balancing The Books On The Backs Of The Poor 1 Month ago  
This Daily Mirror front page headline on Thursday is surely a game changer.

This headline is the kind of thing you would expect them to throw viciously at any Tory government, and looks like it is aimed at one, but no, it's fired straight at their own side and their beloved Labour Government. It's quite a stunning headline when you think about it. The Daily Mirror of all paper's now realises it can no longer even begin to defend this Labour government, but more than that, it's gone all out on the attack against it.

Labour have so many frigging seats. How did that happen?

No proportional representation.

The Guardian are keeping low to some extent.

If you lie on a CV or application it's a sackable offence and can land you in prison as it's fraud. Will Reeves from complaints be carted off to a police cell and help police with their inquires?

It happened in part because Boris Johnson who won a massive 14 million votes in 2019 saw Sunak more than halve that number to under 7 million last year.

But what I find even more astounding is that Starmer won a landslide election in 2024 with fewer votes cast, 9.7 million for Labour, than Jeremy Corbyn received in 2019 when he took them to the biggest defeat since the 1930's but got 10.3 million.

Labour is currently governing on disproportionate representation. The country never really wanted them at all, and even within Labour ranks of voters the majority don't want Starmer.

Jess Philips won by the student vote. The race and religion of some Labour MPs and the demographics in their constituency tells you all that you need to know about the UK. There is a few Labour MPs who can't even speak proper English, it's broken English. Meaning English is not their first language.

British Steel cutting thousands of jobs in Scunthorpe, Sky cutting thousands of jobs, and out of the EU, Trading with Trump like the Russian Roulette scene in The Deer Hunter.

So where are the 3 million jobs for cripples and the sick going to come from?

I thought Tories fucked the UK steel industry and the car factory in Swindon.

I have no idea how the UK can create jobs apart from building homes for the migrants and then again it probably be done by labour from Europe, most of them send the money home to their families. I feel sorry for people are told to look for work but where? Supermarkets love it when schools, colleges and DWP send people for work experience it's free labour.

It's a good question. There are supposedly a million job vacancies or thereabouts. But we are told there are anything from 6 to 9 million "economically inactive people", or people not working. So maybe someone in government can explain how you fit even the lower end figure of 6 million people into one million jobs, even if they were all keen and eager to start tomorrow on the bare minimum wage? Most of these jobs are likely the poor paying type that need government subsidy anyway.

This government is currently in the process of killing growth and job creation anywhere you care to look. They are economically illiterate. The wickedness with which they have gone after pensioners and the less fortunate members of our country, to take from the poorest and blame them for the nations ills is repugant, because they think they don't really have a voice and can't fight back. I've never stopped believing Starmer is a vile untrustworthy deliberately deceitful coward. He currently makes Cameron and Osbourne look compassionate!

If people thought the day of judgement on the 14 years of Tory rule with Sunak/Truss/Johnson/May/Cameron & Co was just desserts for them, they ain't seen nothing yet when it comes to what is going to happen to this Labour party and government led by Starmer, it will be even more brutal when the end comes for him and Labour, mark my words, it's already too late to save them.
