I'm going to challenge this line of thinking.
Millions have been seriously hurt by 14 years of #ToryAusterity (or longer nroliberalism). That may be a source of pain, but IMO it is *not* the cause of the violence.
IMO, the violence is caused by rightwing hatemongering towards immigrants accelerated by years of #Tory normalisation of violence (eg "go home" vans, Royal Navy patrolling the channel, Rwanda policy, etc). Also, a bit of anger over GE loss

Yes, same with the warped priorities, keep kids in private school - the classic ambition of the wealthy.
What doc faced with years of #ToryAusterity chooses private education over #NHS funding?
In a mature, thoughtful and dispassionate reflection on his own life in politics, Kinnock comments on the career of Corbyn. In a few words, he explains why Corbyn was unsuitable to lead either the Labour Party or the country while implicitly demonstrating what a great minister and future leader Angela Raynor will make.

According to a Tory minister on #LBC just now, the level of spending cuts that the Tories/Treasury have priced in as a result of the last budget amount to approximately 75% of those under Cameron/Osborne. Some departments are ring fenced, but basically that means massive cuts to public services and support for the most vulnerable.
Starmer and Reeves have said that they aren't going to raise taxes, but they've also said that there won't be a return to Tory austerity. So that means they're either lying (possible), mathematically illiterate (equally possible), or are going to borrow a shed load (also possible) just like the pork markets woman.
Excellent reminders that #ToryAusterity breeds local council problems.

RT by @catherinemep: More than 800,000 patients admitted to hospital with malnutrition & nutritional deficiencies 2023, 3 x increase on 10 years ago, according to #NHS. Dr's said trend mirrored clinical experiences, with number of patients health problems rooted in #poverty. #ToryAusterity.
