Million children hungry: I sleep.
Wrong pronouns used to Twitter: straight to jail!
The neoliberal establishment that “the Left” wholeheartedly supports.
I've never met a lefty that even remotely, nevermind wholeheartedly, supports the Tory government. You know, the right wing party that's been in power for ~13 years. If you think leftists have caused this problem you've been living under one big fuck off rock for a long time.
Who said anything about the Tory government? You really think you have a million hungry children because of the Tories? You're politically illiterate then.
Why do you think we have seen the number of hungry children triple since 2017, if it isn't the government that has been in power for the past decade plus?
