To find it hilarious Labour claim to be the progressive party when they’ve only ever elected white men for leader

We now have the fourth elected (by the party) female Conservative leader. She is also the first black female leader and second person of colour.

Whereas the Labour Party have never voted in a woman or person of colour to be leader in their history. (Acting leader doesn’t count.) And yet people think they’re the more progressive party. I genuinely find it funny.

I am the parent of two adult disabled children and I have seen what the last government did to disabled and vulnerable people.

Was it not the Tories who kept the entire nation in lockdown for the best part of two years to protect 'vulnerable people'? Children/teens prevented from going to school and seeing their friends in order to 'protect granny' and those with 'co-morbidities'? So I'm genuinely unsure about what you mean...

If you're genuinely unsure of what I mean, you haven't been paying attention. Did you not know about the green paper consultation on PIP, started by the Tories, binned by Labour, which suggested that instead of money, claimants should have vouchers? That is dehumanising and a little reading would have shown that in countries where it had been tried, it failed. Did you not hear the endless negative rhetoric towards people on benefits, labelling them 'skivers' and 'scroungers'? Take off your COVID tinted lenses and look at the whole of the past 14 years.
