I am a Democratic Socialist. So is the Labour Party. I support all Democratic Socialists.
I don’t support Tories.
@johnpringdns Wokingham Borough council have told me that the EqualitiesAct 2010 does not apply to Streetworks and that Streetworks do not have to consider making anticipatory reasonable adjustments? Has anyone else heard this?

I CONDEMN the daily and relentless murder of Palestinians in Gaza by bombs, bullets, starvation, and the destruction of infrastructure necessary to sustain life
I EQUALLY CONDEMN the antisemitic and terrorist murder of Jewish people on Bondi Beach

@johnpringdns Does the Govt tell pensioners or unemployed people or parents what they can spend their benefit payments on? So why are they telling disabled people you can only buy from this list? #Motability
#PostOfficeScandal Watching old you tubes and this case won’t be over until criminal liars like Stephen Bradshaw are prosecuted, jailed and made to enjoy the benefits of being notorious in jail. I hope his jail sentence is long enough for him to die in jail.

There are many British commentators who have made several posts showing deep concern for Rachel Reeves over the last 24 hours but apparently misplaced their phones whilst hundreds of thousands of disabled people were terrified of losing the benefits they need to live.
Ian Jones retweeted
I would like to feel sympathy for Rachel Reeves. I don’t. She showed none when trying to destroy the well-being of hundreds of thousands of disabled people. A massive apology is overdue.
