saying you& #39;ll do something less harshly and painfully doesn& #39;t mean you didn& #39;t say you& #39;d do it https://twitter.com/HarrietHarman/status/1246511061764841475">https://twitter.com/HarrietHa...

eg & #39;I think you should be sacked with a redundancy payoff& #39; and & #39;I think you should be sacked and immediately made homeless& #39; are both forms of sacking; & #39;too far, too fast& #39; was still austerity, just saying we& #39;ll do it nicer and 100% accepting that austerity was necessary

which is funny because now the literal Prime Minister says that austerity wasn& #39;t necessary, and presumably was all just a big old jape

Harriet Harman, meanwhile, is so anti-austerity that she made her first move as minister, during an economic boom, the cutting of lone parents& #39; benefits, then as caretaker leader abstained on the dismantlement of New Labour& #39;s own deeply conditional and mild welfare policies

short version of this thread: a load of people are going to lie their socks off in the next few months, don& #39;t let them do it
