It's warm and she's comfy on the pavement.

In this day and age, why are we still using these horrible packing peanuts? These aren't even the dissolvable ones.

The cherry on the cake? This is the side of the box.

I assume the rest of their councillors are just smart enough to keep their mouths shut.

While this is a high-profile case, this is pretty emblematic of Conservative and Forced Labour policy. Labour have cut back even further on what constitutes a disability, when in reality many hundreds of thousands of people who should receive PIP do not.

If a state cannot provide comfortable lives for disabled people and, even worse, stigmatises them as scroungers, it is a failed state.

As the remaining council votes start slowing down, we see that the greatest growth and numbers go to Reform council members, but the Green Party have gained significant ground.

Meanwhile, Labour have lost over half of the seats up for election this May.

Basically, they're all horrible people, to no ones surprise. And these are the ones who have not been recently arrested for being Russian shills

Maybe this will be the thing that finally gets your weirdo uncle to reconsider voting reform.

Not sure if this qualifies for this community, but given Lemmy is the primary source of news for many I thought it was important enough news to share.

This is a developing story, and it's not even clear yet that Trump was the target.

To the surprise of no one at this point, Kier Starmer's Labour prepares to squeeze more money out of poor people. Anything to not tax billionaires.

The (Forced) Labour party seem to earnestly believe that disabled people are just too lazy to work, and cutting their benefits will incentivise them to do so. In reality, what will happen is that most will sink into deeper poverty and many will become homeless. Homeless people are a lot more expensive to the state than people on benefits, and their health will only deteriorate, causing them to be even less likely to work and costing more to the NHS.
