A cinematic-style image inspired by The Traitors TV show. Two hooded figures in green cloaks stand in front of 10 Downing Street, with flames rising at the bottom of the frame. Bold orange text on the left reads “The time for talk is over.” On the right, a person holds an envelope labelled “Westminster,” with the text “It’s time to banish Westminster” above it.

They said energy would be cheaper.
They said we were a union of equals.

Enough talk. It’s time to banish Westminster.

Quite the thing to witness Fife Labour not only beholden to and proposing motions (about Coalfields) with the Tory’s but now relying on and negotiating with Reform to get their policy positions through Fife Council meetings.

🗣️ Stephen Flynn is right - Labour’s cuts will push disabled people and their families into poverty 👇
