Is your MP a member of the Labour Growth Group?

Hi folks,

Just discovered this and wanted to bring it to your attention. The latest about the budget is that they're still toying with the idea of welfare cuts, despite the vote last April. By the sound of it the main target at the moment is the young, all those NEETS, but it would pay for the rest of us to keep an eye on things once the Timms review has been announced.

What's significant is that the NEETS are being "reviewed" by Alan Millburn, the ultra-right MP who worked under Blair to introduce private health care into the NHS. You only have to follow what he did after politics to see his true motivations, yep working in cushy roles in various private health care providers.

Millburn no doubt has influence with the Labour Growth Group. Who, you ask? Yep, turns out they're many of the fast-track promoted MPs swarming around Starmer. One of the main players is dear old Torsten Bell, who once mascaraded as veering towards socialism but now likes to parrot phrases like "the Labour Party: the clue's in the name", said during the welfare debate when he was advocating cuts.

And now, the Labour Growth Group are saying there should be £20 billion of welfare cuts - yep you read that right. No taxes for the super-rich, let's bash the poor again.

Is your MP a member of this group? Here's a list of the main players:

Seems to me their policies are no different to the Tories.
