Rachel Reeves crying in PM questions

[AnotherBrickIn]

She’s visibly crying

Fuck! Seriously, the Tories fucked up this country on a level that nobody seems to comprehend and the bullshit media are fucking jumping on a woman who dares to cry or show emotion. Fuck the patriarchy. All those dozens of horrendous male Tory MPS we had to deal with time and time again and people are chastising this woman for actually trying to do something! The benefits system is fucked and needs reform but in comparison to what Boris and his cronies did, they’re a breath of fresh air. Sadly the British publish just want a moon on a stick and media have gone on a witch hunt! Since when did Daily Mail readers care about people on benefits? 😂

When we have Reform in power nobody will hold Farage to account! Just like not one shitty tabloid has held him to account for the utter atrocity that was Brexit.

Gilts market now predicting her resignation. The markets are now turning against her. Let’s hope she makes it quick before she wrecks the country on the way out, as well as her way in.

Markets are now tanking

Reported.
I work and pay huge amounts of tax to support the benefits system. As does my whole family.
Why is everything about you?
Your language is disgusting.

Nonsense. Anyone can see it bar the head in the sand Labour posters on mn.

Bravo-100% true.

@alexalistenhope you felt the same about the Tory and Reform politicians who hate vulnerable people even more!

Even the markets can see it.

If Starmer lost a VONC who would you like to see replace him as Labour leader and PM?

She's the chancellor, we don't want the chancellor having a breakdown on the front bench thanks.

Trust me I do

Albeit from The Guardian but seemingly not 1000s of parents and children cast aside.

Oh shush, you can't report someone for an opinion you don't like, I haven't broken any guidelines.

But i do think there are better ways to approach tackling the welfare bill in particular, and the budget deficit in general.

I would be genuinely interested in hearing your ideas on this - not finding money to pay for an ever increasing welfare budget, but actually reducing state dependency.

Maybe she was filling out her application form for Chancellor ?

Over 11,000 fewer pupils at private school this year - BBC News

And it will get worse, as parents will be trying to keep current pupils in their schools until they take their exams.

Next year, and the year after, will see more leave. And, not join at all.

Be Kind? FGS.

So who do you want to run the country.

Why do you call him "Two Tier"?

Glad I am not alone. A forum for women this is supposed to be. It's lost its way over the last few years.

The only thing that stops it for me is thinking of an old boss who I really, really hated and thinking "I won't give you the satisfaction of seeing me cry" 😐

None of them their all as bad as each other

So would I. Most pensioners have paid off their mortgages, if they had one, and they don't pay NI (they do, of course pay income tax, council tax, etc, but no NI is a big benefit). Next to no one on £43k pa is going to struggle without a winter fuel payment of £200, or £300 if there is an over-80yo in the household, especially in Scotland where personal care in the home is free and not means tested.

It's a bad time in UK politics. The Tories were abysmally bad and we've all lost track of how many PMs and cabinet ministers we've had in the last few years. I hoped Labour would be better. It was hard to see how they could be worse. They inherited a very bad financial position, but they have this huge majority so it looked like a no brainer that they would have no trouble getting new laws passed. Oh dear.

I shudder to think what the next General Election might bring. The only comfort is it's four years away.

Self declare?? What are you on about??

Well that’s going to go well.

I completely agree with you Eastern.

Only a fool would seek to deny the reality.

No mercy should be shown to this Labour shower.
