Today the two-child benefit cap on universal credit ends (after nine years) allowing us to see (when data becomes available) what impact its imposition & now reversal had on child poverty.

Apart from anything else this will have been interesting opportunity to see clearly how state benefits impact poverty, and also (once again) give some indication of the skewed impact of the impact of austerity (which remains, while un-named, still at the centre of UK politics)

“Journalist publishes full interview with suspended Labour MP”

“On 31 March, we reported that Labour had suspended Karl Turner. Turner had criticised Labour’s plan to abolish jury trials as a universal right; he’d also given an interview to independent journalist and Canary contributor Jody McIntyre.

Following his suspension, Turner tried to distance himself from McIntyre. Now, McIntyre has set the record straight”

As #fuel, #electricity, #groceries, #healthcare… increase in cost,🚨many vulnerable people will be cut off from LIHEAP in the 2027 budget proposal. All the cuts will devastate millions of families.

There’ll be plenty of💰for #ICE🚨to terrorize & imprison undoc immigrants in #DeathCamps, the #DOD to start more wars to steal oil & minerals…

#Austerity & premature #deaths: apparently the Republicans’ plan for America.

Vote for Dems who’ll prioritize the needs of the people.

Trump announced to cut any social spending for day care, Medicare or Medicaid on the federal level because all funds have to be funneled to the military for "protecting the country".

This certainly reminds of a protection racket or other forms of kleptocratic wealth accumulation Mafia style.
The plundering of social budgets is part and purpose of imperalistic warfare deemed to leave people in need to the cold of misery, famine and death. It's nothing but class war from above, and hopefully US Americans will soon wake up to never repeat the folly of voting for leaders like sheep chosing those who will lead them to the slaughtering block.

One important lesson to be learned from the ongoing wars and the inceasing dwindling of social welfare is to fight militarism and imperialism whereever it rears its bloody head.
