Brexit is already costing the UK’s public finances £17bn a year, according to a detailed study released ahead of critical votes in parliament this week.

The amount would be sufficient to pay 10,000 more police to patrol the streets and train nurses to fill every vacancy in England, and still leave enough to cover the UK’s current contribution to the EU’s budget.

The research from the Centre for European Reform estimates the UK economy is 2.3 per cent smaller than it would have been had Britain voted to remain in the EU back in 2016.

yeah but it’s not like the government would spend this money on the people, rather than find a £17 billion tax cut for their rich mates

It's like Tories talking about protecting the poorest and weakest - pure rhetoric covering up their goal of grinding the poor into paste. Same for Corbyn - he says the Holocaust was a bad thing, but in reality he's planning to finish what Hitler started.

this is basically it, once you've fully internalised that corbyn plans to kill or run out all british jewish people its incredibly offensive to see him pretending to support them

the corbyn antisemitism stuff is so powerful to certain sectors because it allows them to not be standing in the way of history, which they are by screaming blue murder at the same redistributive policies they championed before they were actually possible

instead they can be opposing racism which is always the right side of history and salvage their political self image while still opposing the only possible beneficial change to the status quo (which their own political compass tells them they should be supporting, so why aren't they? well he wants to kill all jewish people)

also basically every blairite who accused corbyn of anti-semitism either has a strong history of it themselves or loves apartheid israel

Because the rich think raising taxes is as bad as the Holocaust, so they need to communicate the magnitude of their disgust to the masses.

That doesn't extend to Israeli people unless that person is worth despising in the first place.

This exact phenomenon happens constantly lol. the UK establishment is what happens after unbroken decades of this happening until our whole consensus is built on top of recursive lies and misunderstanding

my analogy for it goes something like:

Month 1: drat I need some votes... hang on I know, "Vote for me and I'll get rid of the monster under your bed! hes terrifying!"

Month 2: I can't sleep because of the terrifying monster under my bed!

see: the tories doing austerity for fun (osborne's objectivist mania; asset stripping) but selling it as "cost saving" or "defecit reducition" and now they've broke-brained themselves enough that i think 99% of tories genuinely think spending public money on ANYTHING is bad

The one tiny issue with this take is that disciplinary proceedings have absolutely gently caress all to do with the parliamentary leadership of the party, they're the responsibility of the national constitutional committee. But other than that great point.
