The poorest households in Slovenia and Malta are better off than the poorest in the UK. UK has some of the least generous welfare across the OECD Yet govts still push failed trickle-down policies, real cuts to wages and benefits, unchecked profiteering, oppose higher taxes on the rich.

How are they going to help? By increasing the State Pension Age, which of course doesn't help at all. Who will they blame, YOU.

If we stop paying the billionaires we will have enough to pay the Doctors, Disabled People, Pensioners, Disabled Children... All their money comes from you, the Government could take all their profits if they wanted to. I suggest we just stop them getting richer.

US President Trump to Liberia President: "Such good English ... Where did you learn to speak so beautifully?" Reply: "in Liberia". English is the national language of Liberia. Its capital Monrovia is named after James Monroe, 5th US president. What did Trump flunk at school/university?

My latest story for @bylinetimes.bsky.social on how the government could use data analysis and AI to combat fraud and recoup the £6 billion lost on restoring cuts without having to raise taxes

Caroline Lucas criticises Labour's 1-in-1-out solution for small boat asylum seekers She points out that before Brexit we could return asylum seekers to the EU, after Brexit we lost that agreement She adds that we need a Europe wide solution, especially as the impact of climate change worsens

"UK Welfare spending is too high." UK Welfare Spending.

I know many people are feeling suicidal tonight because the government has failed to hear us. It is a gut punch—but also not the time to do anything you can’t reverse. Nothing will change for you if you are on disability benefits from this Bill. You matter and we care about you. #BinUCBill

I’m ashamed to live in a country that just passed a welfare bill condemning hundreds of thousands to deeper poverty and despair. I’m ashamed of a Labour government that refused to work WITH disabled people to build a benefits system based on dignity, not punishment. #BinUCBill

A remarkable piece of journalism.

The entire UK political/media narrative on welfare is that it is "burgeoning", "a burden" & "unsustainable". But how high is it compared to others? UK welfare at 10.8% of GDP in 2023 (including pensions). Finland spends 25.7% of GDP; France 23.8%: both double the UK.

Simply making Amazon pay their tax in the UK would be enough to pay for lifting the 2 Child Benefit Cap. Amazon have a Revenue of £27bn in the UK but usually pay NO tax at all.

The tools developed along the way could revolutionise medicine

Note No.10 is starting work on its new narrative: “We can’t stop the two child limit ‘cos they made us u-turn on disability benefits.” Child poverty v disability poverty is not a contest. Labour is responsible for its choices and solutions - not disabled people. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

"These are the 13 (out of 25) Labour cabinet members who were found by @declassifieduk.org to have received donations from pro-Israel lobby groups or individuals since they were first elected to parliament" via troovus .. and proscribing #PalestineAction is value for corrupt money #SocialistSunday

A tribunal has allowed ministers to continue to hide vital information from scores of secret reports into deaths of universal credit claimants, just as they publish a new bill that will have a major impact on the working-age benefits system. #DWP www.disabilitynewsservice.com/tribunal-all...

Disabled activists have called on the government to scrap its “dangerous” and “disastrous” disability benefits bill, despite forcing ministers into last-minute changes that scrapped all their planned cuts to personal independence payment. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/disastrous-c...

Four disabled Labour MPs stood up to their government’s attempts to reduce vital disability benefits, despite ministers’ chaotic last-ditch concessions to rebels that removed a significant chunk of their cuts bill. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/four-disable...

A British news channel has said it has nothing to apologise for after a right-wing commentator and comedian suggested the best way to cut the number of disabled people claiming benefits was to starve, or even shoot, them. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/gb-news-says...
