The right always needs a bogey man

The right always needs a bogey man,

This modern rightwing movement started with blaming the EU for everything, for the last few years it has all been asylum seekers and other migrants.

Now Reform are turning their sights on the Disabled.

But this is all a distraction from ever present problem, the multinational mega corporations and billionaires who extract all of the wealth out of our communities.

The water companies are just one very obvious example of many.

We do not have a resource shortage in this country, we have a distribution problem.

That is why we must be, as the prime minister said, unashamedly Labour, where we put the power, wealth and opportunities in the hands of the many, not the few.

Everything we do must be to that aim, we need a massive social house building project, a green energy revolution, a full implementation of the new deal for workers and a fair tax system in which those with the least resources do not pay proportionally more than those with the most.

And we need it now to deliver the promise of hope in every heart.
