Thank you @labourlewis 🙏 I don’t claim any benefits but I came pretty close after a Covid infection in 2020 left me with severe health issues and made me realise that disability can happen to anyone. The “working people” rhetoric reeks of ableism, division and discrimination.

Dive into the critical issues shaping economic policy, from President-elect Trump’s sweeping tariff proposals to the challenges Texas faces under rising government spending. Now is the time for bold reforms to protect taxpayers and ensure economic freedom thrives.

Thank you giving us your alternative view. It now appears that @RachelReevesMP has miscalculated and her cuts will not bring in 5 billion,so she is now going to cut welfare by another half billion. Does she know what she is doing?

It was refreshing to hear an MP speak so candidly. You actually sound like a Labour leader should.

She has to go Clive, together with others but she really has to go the most. I hope Labour MPs do the right thing and put Starmer under unprecedented pressure

Interest rates are set by the govt. The govt could stop selling bonds. (The Bank of England is owned by the govt) The 'markets' don't dictate economic policy. And there's no scarcity of £money. 'tax payers' money' is a Thatcherite lie. Govt spends then taxes.

The burning question Clive is what on earth are you still doing in that nest of zionist scumbage?

Labour have turned into the party of harm. This fella looks like he might be the right kind of person to change this

the front bench has to go clive, they are not labour.

A brilliant and erudite summary Clive a genuine Labour politician who cares, following you now. It’s the principles I voted for, perfectly summed up.

You spelt out a lot of why Labour were voted in, no one in this country voted for more austerity, quite the opposite. Your leaders’ policies are crazy, doing the exact thing that has brought us to this mess, more austerity! 😖
