Oversteer Kier. I suspect he's more right wing than Blair, but we'll have to see. Definitely more of am autocrat.

Lol, Rosie usually flanking from the right. A transphobe and not a nice person. Love it when they trash take themselves out. One of the few Labour MPs worse than Kier

By that logic, you're dragging down lemmy.ca. Though I don't really take that line of logic, cause I ain't a dick.

Well fair point there, and rightly so. There is certainly a need for this. Whether that justifies keeping permanent a temporary policy or it needs to be thought out so benefits/pip etc. meet the needs of vulnerable individuals at all times of the year is another question.

If everyone you look at is trash, either they are, or you are. You'd need some self-awareness and comprehension of the history of Lemmy (including the fact that Lemmy.ml was the main instance before the influx, and after, Lemmy.world had major reliability issues for a while). Many people ended up on ml and don't really suffer the red scares.

The amount of "I got banned off ml for saying x. Didn't realise it was as bad as Reddit which I also got banned off multiple times". I mean if folks are getting banned of a right wing cess pool and a left wing instance, is the issue the instances, or them.

No one else receives winter payment coverage. Pensions are already covered by Triple Lock, so over time they always go up quicker than inflation (which includes heating costs). Triple Lock was always a bribe because older people vote and in numbers and successive governments pandered to them. Winter fuel payment had a need and they probably should have tempered it off, but support for older less well off individuals people should be via state pension if it doesn't meet their needs.

Regular top up bribes just creates a messy, complex system that politicians dare not touch.

Back on to Keir, he's coming out of this looking quite dodgy and many on the left have been making this point for years. However, using Tory attack lines doesn't help as they contributed to most people getting screwed when energy prices shot up (mothballing gas storage, hammering feed in tariffs etc.)

Technically it's fucked by hard right and soft right. Keir and his team stuck their fingers up at unions and took plenty of money from big business. We are starting to see that play out now. It was a takeover of the party by business interests and the media was happy to assist in the public relations for it.

I get the bad mods argument but tarring a whole community based on this isn't cool.

Don't get me wrong, .world has some really big ass hats and questionable moderation, but it doesn't mean all their users are bad.

The other one is dead. Up to you.

Almost as much as your mom does.
