“The Prime Minister says his government has got “the big political decisions right”. Let’s go through them.

The government chose to cut welfare so it could spend even more on weapons and war.

The government chose to demonise the sick and disabled.

The government chose to keep children in poverty until it was dragged kicking and screaming to finally scrap the two-child benefit cap.

The government chose not to bring water into public ownership, not to tax wealth and not to implement rent controls.

The government chose to arm Israel and participate in genocide.

The government chose to let the US use British air bases for its war crimes in Iran.

The government chose to let Palantir get its hands on our NHS.

The government chose to scapegoat migrants and refugees for its own failures.

Poverty, inequality and genocide. Those are the government’s big decisions. And that is how this government will be remembered.”
