I won't be the only person to draw a contrast between Labour's attitude to disability benefits (they are ineffective & need to be cut) and the impact of a new digital tax on major US technology groups (they are effective & therefore need to be cut)...
Yup, once again we have an example of sucking up & punching down - if this is what the Labour now regards as a reasonable moral trade-off, they're going to struggle to retain support from loyalists (and indeed many others!)

@ChrisMayLA6 we knew this from way back. Quite what the old socialist rearguard can do, I just don't know. Should have stormed the gates when we had a chance but rseholes like Galsworthy and Bray said hold fire. Culpable too they are.
