Not to worry, Rachel Reeves fantastic plan to decimate the welfare state will take care of this issue - and as an added bonus vastly inflate the value of funeral businesses across the country! Win-win!
Been calling them Red Tories since 2019, this feels perhaps more vindicating of that sentiment than anything yet.
You're kidding but this is actually true. Investing in funeral parlors and similar services is probably a good idea right now; first the excessive dying of the poors, then war. It's going to be a golden age for gravediggers.
I'm not sure that I was, which is even more depressing to realise.
Theres also the new right to die, for those inconvenient disabled who won't get a job

Wait until the next Labour Government gets in. The Tories usually focus on law and order and other conservative values for their. Labour will restore the balance and ..
Oh .. wait.
Sure we have staggering inequality and soaring poverty but at least we succeeded in replacing that anti semite Corbyn with Keir Starmer, eh?
And who do those 4.5 million low income households vote for now because it's very clear Labour are not watching out for them.
They'll vote Reform.
They are eager to find someone to blame and migrants are the usual scapegoats.
The wealthy have no problem with this either.
