How exactly are they meant to enjoy retirement when Reform plans on making it impossible for their kids to move out and live independently?
How is taking money away from the disabled going to help their parents retire?
Do you think they're just going to leave their kids to rot whilst they go off on holiday?
See the right love to complain about how kind and generous of a country we are whilst they themselves rely on and benefit from it.
NHS survives because the doctors and nurses go into work everyday depsite shit pay, poor conditions, long hours and the abuse they get.
Carers still wiping asses of strangers who might hate them because of how they look or sound.
Families who look after their disabled and/or elderly members for free with barely any help from the goverment.
The people who still come to this country even after everything that has been said and done to them by our politicians and media.
Kindness
Generosity
Unification
All these things they keep telling us are bad are actually the things this country relies on to keep it from collapsing and it's what keeps these little greedy fucks from having to spend a little bit of money to help people.
They know the majority of people would rather suffer themselves than allow someone else to so people like Farage happily let them.
I want my parents to have a decent retirement, but they won't get that if Reform win because they'll be stuck taking care of me forever once I lose the little independence I have when Jenrick cuts the welfare bill.
So what's the solution? I kill myself so that they can have the decent retirement they deserve? You might think that's extreme but to me that's basically the vibe I'm getting from not only them but also the Tories and Labour too.
Fun fact: Labour are doing a sneaky little cut next week that'll result in a tiered system of support.
I only found this out last week after accidentally stumbling upon a tweet about it.
I was also approved this same benefit last week and was completely unaware of the upcoming cut, so that means If my claim was just a little later I could have ended up getting less money as someone who has the exact same disability as me all because I wasn't quick enough which is actually insane to think about.
So I got lucky, but luck should not be a factor. This isn't the fucking lottery, this is basic help for people with disabilities like what the fuck are we doing here?
If you actually want things to get better then the Green Party really is the only choice like there's literally no better choice.
Labour are just a bad right-wing tribute band.
Tories literally ruined everything.
Reform are just a far-right Tory rebrand.
Restore makes Reform look like Nazi cosplayers.
Lib Dems are like actual Tory lite.
Your Party is a thing that still exists I think.
So yeah, vote Green or die I guess.
at this point it’s your own fault if you expected tories to be normal (source)
Lord Heseltine warning comes as Robert Jenrick is caught up in a racism row
Hi, my name is Robert Jenrick and welcome to Jackass

I have absolutely no clue how many people this will reach - but I strongly strongly recommend everyone who does read this to go onto Spotify and listen to one of the latest episodes of The Rest Is Politics - Rory Stewart makes an absolutely well articulated point about the global turn to the right. The comparisons he makes about rhetoric that's flourishing right now about repatriation (e.g. in Austria, Robert Jenricks comments) and how we've seen this before in Nazi Germany and the Balkans, how it began as 'peaceful' missions but were some of the most violent periods in human history - and similar rhetoric is being spread now.
I do disagree with some of Rory's wider beliefs and policy (i.e. the monarchy) but his defence of the importance of the liberal world order against this rise of the far-right is so well articulated, and it really well expresses what and how the Overton Window of global politics has shifted. Like they said - comments like the ones Jenrick are making would've been unthinkable in the Conservative Party under May or Cameron, bearing disturbing similarity to Enoch Powell and his "Rivers of Blood Speech".
They touch on Elon Musk and his detrimental impact through the spreading of fake news, particularly the bearing this is having on UK Politics
We all owe it to ourselves to really understand what's going on right now, because that's the way to challenge it - and I really recommend The Rest Politics and Rory Stewarts analysis.
