'Further adventures of the dancing queen: Onward to Brexit and other mishaps'.

I'm so angrily unbalanced rn I couldn't think of anything without using unpleasant murderous terms!

The BBC's political social media team tweeted 22 breezily upbeat times on the May speech yesterday to the single ho-hum its Corbyn talking again Kuenssberg tweet, last week. The end of austerity comes with a freeze on fuel duty and Local Authorities still not having the funding to meet their legal obligations to protect disabled/vulnerable people/children etc. Anyone talking up this End of Austerity as an actual thing needs shooting down immediately. If anything we are going into Peak Austerity and the the national rollout of UC next year is going be a real treat for aficionados of tinned foodbank goods!

as Dawn Foster pointed out, Gideon has already declared austerity was over in 2015.

I have no idea where you're getting those figures from, man - there's at least nine tweets on the BBC politics twitter with Corbyn's speech. And I'd expect there to be more coverage of May's - she's the one actually in charge, and as you say what she says kills people.
