DWP Youth Guarantee jobs fair is forcing kids into war The DWP held a jobs fair to support young people into becoming cogs in the machinery of war - how sickening can they get?

The DWP held its first Youth Guarantee jobs fair in Blackpool last week - and it was packed with military and weapons manufacturers.

The government wants to force our kids into war

Robert Jenrick's terrible plan for the DWP is already happening under Labour No matter what Reform might say, Jenrick's proposals for the DWP are a lukewarm reheating of Labour's already terrible policies

Why did Starmer's disabled brother die poor? Starmer is unashamedly exploiting his brother's death for self-rehabilitation, but the year he reportedly died β€œin poverty” Starmer made 152K

Starmer's claiming his disabled brother died in poverty, and that's why he wants to "fix the system that failed him"... by making it even worse for disabled poor people

But Starmer's a millionaire, so why did his brother die poor?

BREAKING: ex-prince Andrew arrested BREAKING - disgraced former prince Andrew Windsor has been arrested on 'suspicion of misconduct in public office'

It's believed the rapist child trafficking royal has been arrested for passing on state secrets, not the aforementioned raping and child trafficking.

Nigel Farage appoints a bunch of Tories to his imaginary Reform shadow cabinet Reform aren't the official opposition to Labour, and as such cannot name a 'shadow cabinet' - but racist ol Nige just loves a photo op

Nigel Farage appoints a bunch of Tories to his imaginary Reform shadow cabinet

As the racist party are not the official opposition, they don't get to name a shadow cabinet. But why would the facts stop Farage?
