More money for weapons, and disgustingly that is to be paid for by attacking support for unwell people.
Tory rebels plan 100-day ‘policy blitz’ if local elections are disaster for party
Worried MPs have concocted five-point plan of quick measures aimed at showing that the party cares about public’s priorities
But it does give you a flavour of what these cruel scum bags want to do.

The foreign students thing is especially grim given that’s how most unis make their money now

You'd have thought that by now so many people must know someone suffering seriously from depression or anxiety that it's not really going to be a popular move.

And you'd hope that a good number of those who don't might just see this for what it is; uncaring, vindictive, mean, nasty, ideological penny-pinching that would end up causing untold misery and, even by their own psychopathic metrics, cost the state more in the long run. Cunts.

Could they just cut payments prior to the election? It isn't, iirc, a manifesto commitment, and wouldn't it require parliamentary time?Usual Tory fantasy policies here for this “100 day policy offensive” mooted by some rebels

Benefits went up this month. By a relatively considerable amount as well.
The answer of course is that these people are monsters to whcih there are no depths they won't sink in order to remain grasping at power.

" Give your head a shake" I was told by a work colleague in the middle of a panic attack. She had Tory written all over her.AKA "Pull yourself together"

If I hadn't been feeling like I was going to faint through lack of oxygen I would have kicked her into next week..
Karma got her, heard years later she packed in work through severe anxiety.

Tired and unemotional
In a horrible kind of way, it's the people most in denial about mental health stuff who, when it does hit, get clobbered the hardest. It's almost karmic.
There's a lot of karma due a fairly large cohort of politicians right now.

It is, of course, far more calculating and targeted than that. They're clearly looking at their numbered days in office and working out what wrecking they can achieve that is unlikely to be substantially unpicked by a Reeves-driven LP administration.

I think it’s completely the other way round. They are desperately casting around for things that Labour cannot stomach which can then be used as wedge issues.
None of them have any interest in policy for its own sake any more.

I admire your optimism but, based on the previous musings of Reeves etc. I don't think it well placed.

No, really I think that's dead wrong. All of them have long bought into the neoliberal, consolidator state and the attendant policy programmes that effect the transfer of wealth from taxes on labour to unearned income.

That and presumably a hope of picking enough votes back off Reform in a few constituencies to hold on.

I think reform should just announce that they'll double pensions from all of the dosh saved from the scroungers/forriners.

Lucy Frazer, the culture secretary, seems to have voted with Labour by mistake in a division on the digital markets, competition and consumers bill. Labour’s Chris Bryant says she was backing a Labour move to crack down on ticket touts. She was the only Tory voting with Labour on this. The Conservatives voted against.

What has Opus Dei’s Ruth Kelly got to do with education policy under Starmer? She’s hardly representative of any strand of Labour thinking.
