Our friends at Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) have been monitoring the language being used by the government recently.

Kier Starmer PM is seen holding up a small wheelchair user by the scruff of his neck. Starmer is wearing a large boxing glove and the disabled person has a prominent black eye. Starmer is saying: “It’s what we refer to in the Labour Party as punching down!”

Crippen discovers why we’re all so punch drunk!

Phrases like “punching down” and “hostile environment” appear amongst the usual retoric, along with the carbon copies of speeches once used by the Tory party.

Of course, I couldn’t resist using one of these phrases for a cartoon!
