Kier Starmer: It's essential that we cut benefits for the disabled to save the economy!

Also Kier Starmer, today: It's essential that we spend £15bn on nuclear bombs!

@hex The nuclear bombs are to protect the economy. It's not rocket science. Wait...
@uoou I try really hard to avoid ever using the over-applied adjective "Orwellian" and yet...
@uoou @hex no no no the nuclear bombs are to wipe out the disabled
@Geri @hex Speaking as one of the disabled, that's very wasteful. A sufficiently motivated child could take me down.
@uoou @hex me too. I am in a wheelchair. A well trained kangaroo could knock me for six xxx

@hex

Is that his way of announcing without announcing it that replacing trident has gone up ~7% from £205bn to £220bn?

#FFS #NursesNotNukes

@hex How many times does the government need told we don’t need nuclear weapons here? Those things are pointless and expensive. OK, spend more on defence, but spend it on something more useful like drone technology etc. which would be more effective and cheaper.
@hex Their goal is WW3. WW3 resets the economy. That's why.
@hex That's just the nuclear warheads - the nuclear-powered submarines are extra, & the £15 billion is 3 times the £5 billion "Labour" are cutting from disability benefits. Bastards!
@hex
... to save the economy!

@hex Also Starmer today, Channel 4 news: the economy has recovered more quickly ... The former can be improved and the latter is not in one winter.

It's complicated.

@hex could anyone tell him that he is Labour and should tax the rich, like a true socialist.
