In an historically unprecedented move, The Labour Party is now refusing to release membership numbers. I'm sure there's no significance to that at all.

“We’ve got an unbelievable mandate to tackle issues and that, for me, is what the Labour party was set up to do. There cannot be a return to austerity… People can’t take it any more… There’s nothing more to give.” #RightToFood #HungerIsAPoliticalChoice newstatesman.com/spotlight/pove…

UK benefit fraud prosecutions are 23 times more than for tax offences. Tax fraud is up to nine times higher than benefit fraud. Govt taking powers to snoop on bank accounts of benefit claimants. Same won't apply to tax abusers, scammers. It is class war. leftfootforward.org/2025/05/why-th…
