This is obscene. That others in politics can’t or won’t say that this is obscene hits at the heart of the problems we face. We are the 99.999%. Tax the super rich. Join.greenparty.org.uk

I found this today (from Peter Kellner/YouGov) which answers part of your query.

So in essence the people will be paying to paint private company trains so the government can con people into believing they've been nationalised

"Trains will be given a union flag inspired paint job as part of the govts nationalisation plan" Meanwhile the trains themselves are still owned by private rolling stock leasing companies which extract huge amounts of £ from the industry (& shovel it into offshore tax havens)

UK households cut spending at fastest pace in 5 years. Average real wage stuck at 2008 level. Energy, water, broadband, rents, grocery, dentist, vets prices rising at more than CPI. Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%. Can't rebuild without redistribution.

This is an astounding thing for the leader of a Labour Party who has just witnessed the Tory government crash the UK out of the EU, let Covid rip, and starve people under austerity to say!

Funny how the 'Polanski wants to turn schools in to crack dens' crowd are silent on deaths from alcohol and tobacco. I can see a shop pushing these deadly narcotics from the gates of my son's school, it's called Asda.

Covid fraud under the Tories cost the taxpayer £10.9 billion The counter-fraud and error measures during the pandemic under the Conservative Government were accused of being 'so lax they may as well have left the door wide open' www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

I'm really pleased that the accusations against Farage are quite rightly not going away. He appears very, very rattled and deservedly so. This is very long overdue.

Starting to suspect FIFA might not be an entirely reputable organisation.

Daisy Cooper, "In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker that arrived on a boat" "Today we have 46,000 a year" "And do you know why?" "Brexit" "Pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage" *audience erupts in applause" #BBCQT

it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value

Facial recognition, scrapping juries, and mandatory digital ID. This Labour Government is creating a toolkit for the far-right. The EU has already put strong controls on this intrusive technology, MPs must pass legislation to do the same. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

Self-ID for left handed to be ended. Will now require a ten year wait and the opinion of three psychologists. Firstline treatments to include breaking all the fingers on the left hand with a mallet. NHS to offer sinister hand amputation to persistent cases. Move praised by charity Right Matters

2. It has *nothing* to do with improving clarity. There’s no evidence that people are confused by terms such as veggie burgers, meat-free sausages or oat milk. It’s a crudely protectionist measure designed to stamp out competition, by forcing plant-based companies to use offputting terms. 2/6

For non-Brits: nobody can afford to get sued by revved-up wingnuts and crackpots armed with JK Rowling’s money, and nobody wants to be the next organisation protested by the far right and monstered into the heart of the earth by the world’s most poisonous media outlets. So they are folding.

Starmer tells us how abhorrent child poverty is, how proud he is to scrap the two child cap & how politics is about choices Last year you could have chosen to scrap the cap. Instead you chose to suspend 7 Lab MPs from the PLP for voting to scrap it. Youre treating us like idiots

Headlines translated: Britain's far-right media didn't like the budget. In an attempt to please them, the prime minister is going to punish the mentally ill.

Farage's alliance with the US hard-right should alarm every British woman

We kept the receipts. These comments, taken together, paint a picture of the man he is today.

The budget didn't bother the powerful. No windfall tax on banks. Govt subsidy of £23bn+ continues. No windfall tax on energy companies, £125bn profit since 2020. Corporate profiteering and subsidies continue. No curbs on corporate welfare. 85,500 have wealth of £2.8 trillion, hardly touched.

Left: Chancellor Rachel Reeves says she doesn't want children to suffer because of the two child benefit cap, that's why she cancelled it Right: Last year Chancellor Rachel Reeves kept the two child benefit cap, and Labour suspended 7 MPs who voted to scrap it

Who knew that a chancellor who worked firstly for the Bank of England, and then HBOS, and who was investigated for misuse of funds before "taking voluntary redundancy", would choose billionaires over the rest of us? #ColourMeShocked

They knew about this clause yet still kept the cap for 16 months??? And removed the whip from MPs who fought for it? That’s sick from Labour.

Okay, here we go. Health & care staff are no longer allowed a Covid booster, but they're still expected to look after COVID+ patients. NHS/govt is reneging on its duty of care. Staff will become unwell, and patients too will suffer. You know what to do 👇✍️ petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

This paragraph is both a glorious piece of journalism and a frustrating summary of the grifters who hoodwink the masses.

Maybe they should consider changing the name of the party.. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is why OpenAI is selling so aggressively to education at all levels—they want to create entire generations of users incapable of reading, writing and thinking without ChatGPT to hold their hands And teachers and professors should call this out for what it actually is

look, the people in homes worth £2million or more are just going to have to cut back on lattes and netflix

...

More than 700,000 homes across the ten English councils now governed by Reform UK are projected to face medium or higher flood risk by the middle of the century... That is roughly one in five households in the party’s local strongholds.

🔥🔥🔥 While everyone is distracted by other budget news, Labour have just announced that they will allow more drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea 🔥🔥🔥 Genuinely catastrophic for our climate and further proof that Labour care more about corporate profits than people or planet.

My only issue with this is that 1% just isn't enough....

Not only is Labour losing the next election to Reform but they are making sure Reform have all the tools for complete fascist control on day one. Vote for the Green party

🚨BOOM!! The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has now rocketed past 50,000 signatures! Let’s get it to 100,000. If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Who remembers that Brexit campaign slogan from 2016? 🤔

Yes, this is fascism. For years, historians and experts were cautious about using the f-word to describe today's events. But that hesitation is gone now. 🧵

This government makes me feel physically sick.

What a suprise that the people who swallow Farages lies also don't believe in science 🙄 what a world we live in... As they said with Brexit "I'm sick of experts" and that turned out just swell didn't it?

Who would of thought that lowering the criminal age would lead to younger even more vulnerable children being used by gangs. No one could have possibly seen this coming 🙄 (SVT translated with Google).

If you've ever needed a reason to rally behind the BBC then this is it.

See what’s happening. A Trumpist US media company has taken over Channel 5. Another US company is gunning for ITV. Our social media is saturated by Musk’s calls for civil war in the UK. The BBC is the last thing standing, and Trump/Johnson are trying to bring it down

It blows my mind that there are real people who see a post like this and actually believe the whole “Christmas is being cancelled by Muslims” BS 🙄 Let’s have a quick look at what’s happening to Sheffield so you can put your Express reading uncle’s mind at ease!😆 1/15 🧵
