Britain is that family member that gets invited by the other 27 members of the extended family for the XMas dinner at a nice restaurant at a cost of £50 per head. And Britain says: “I don’t really like the location, I don’t like my family and I pay max £10 as I bring my own wine and sandwiches”.

Thing is, it wasn't fantasy politics before Reagan & Thatcher's neoliberalism - it was normal run-of-the-mill govt policy. And still is in some other countries.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population. How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich? They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

Farage a Russian asset ??

Hello, have you got a copy of "How to racially abuse people so they feel all warm & cuddly afterwards" by Nigel Farage ?

Left, Labour's Peter Kyle: we want to grow the economy and make Brexit work Right, "GDP reduced by 8%..Brexit decimated UK economy"

Farage sold Brexit - did Russia aid and abet him ??

Prince Andrew to be allowed bird shooting days out?!

The "Dominic Cummings is a genius" types were worse than Dominic Cummings because they enabled Dominic Cummings. The "Boris Johnson is a genius" types were worse than Boris Johnson because they enabled Boris Johnson. Now go away and write that out a thousand times.

A Government of cowards. Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution. They can't get away with this. Join.greenparty.org.uk

We are working with our allies including @makevotesmatter.bsky.social to fight for a politics that works for everyone. No more wasted votes. No more tactical voting. #ChangeTheVotingSystem

I agree with Clive Lewis ( as usual) . We don’t want Palantir in our lives! ID cards were NOT in Lab manifesto, so why are they being foisted on us? No one agreed to sell their data to Palantir. Many placed their trust in Labour + voted 4 them in 24. In return, they betrayed us and sold our data.

I'm so fed up with this. Languages are central to all of higher education. Everyone should be learning languages, precisely because it is hard. Not everything can be transacted in English. A monoglot English language University can only be poorer for the loss of languages. c.org/7nQdjc7cHJ

Utter hypocrisy’: British American Tobacco lobbied against rules in Africa that are law in UK. The he company makes money by selling products proven to inflict disease, disability and premature death, but profits always come before people. Corporate power responsible for so many problems.

We've had a great day in Scotland on the first day of our #TaxTheSuperRich bus tour. We'll be in Newcastle tomorrow, meet us on the corner of Market Street and Grey Street in the city centre, from 10am 📍

This is why our central key services should NEVER be privatised. They should always remain publicly owned, in British hands. #RenationaliseUKServicesNow

Trump is such a ridiculously litigious (orange) snowflake! #BBC www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...

UK royals who haven't seen any military service

Charles has an awful lot of medals for someone who was in the RN for just five years... in peacetime... largely on ships operating off Portsmouth and the Welsh coast...

We all value ‘the rule of law’. But whose law & rules? Corporations/Rich v Masses. The law is being used to enforce existing power structures for the benefit of the few. A few crumbs are thrown to pacify the masses but these are concessions and can be withdrawn. See the linked article.

Take a moment to compare and consider the absolute corrupt and ridiculous UK energy system that we suffer from.

Nigel Farage's hypocrisy exposed during PMQs. 🚨 Farage has earned more than £1.1 million through second jobs since the General Election, but he calls for cuts to the minimum wage for young people. Unbelievable.

Rachel Reeves says we have a £25 billion black hole Rachel Reeves knows Brexit makes us £40 billion poorer Rejoining the EU would give us a £15 billion surplus Why doesn't Labour want what's best for the UK? Tax rises? That'll be Brexit

Prince William jetted 5,500 miles to Brazil for his £300k taxpayer-funded “eco” trip preaching sustainability while living off public money. The hypocrisy of monarchy in one flight #AbolishTheMonarchy #downwiththecrown #notmyking

Just a thought tonight. Thousands of train services now run without guard. The reason, money saved for privately run train companies.

Severe austerity from 2010 was and is the catalyst the for fear and division we see today.

Nigel Farage says this summer’s Raise the Colours movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. Our reporters in five cities had a look and that’s not what we found.

Italian police seize €1.3bn from Campari owner over alleged tax evasion. Won't happen in the UK? City of London Police funded by Lloyd's Bank, UK Finance. HMRC makes sweetheart deals with corporations/rich, which parliament can't examine. NAO said HMRC underestimates tax abuse by wealthy.

● Andrew Windsor remains 8th in the line of succession. ●King Charles III will privately fund his new living arrangements despite Andrew being very rich indeed ● Actually we don't know how wealthy Andrew is because his mother's will is sealed for 90+ years ● Sleep well serfs. ● Know your place.

In 2024, UK’s big four banks HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds, & National Westminster made £45.9bn profit. Since 2021/22 profit margins up by 21%. 2022 -2024: Big four banks paid £124bn in dividends, £32bn in share buybacks. They oppose possible tax increase, publish misleading tax numbers. Tax them.

Farage: epic grifter

What I don’t understand is why the British press don’t hang Brexit around Nigel Farage’s neck like a stockade. It was the single worst act of economic self harm in modern British history. Why doesn’t the British media force him to own that?

685,000 Britons has wealth of £2.8 trillion, 48m have £2.4trn. 4 people have more wealth than 20m Britons. Bottom 50% of the population has 5% of wealth, the bottom fifth only 0.5%. Rich buy political parties, legislators; hold govts to ransom. Can't get economic growth without redistribution.

In addition to retaining the "prince" in his title, Prince Andrew remains (very aptly) a 'Vice' Admiral in the Royal Navy and also remains eighth in line to the throne. And there's nothing you plebs can do about it. But something something about tourists...

"Polanski slammed” reports the Daily Express. The person doing that “slamming” is, err, Daily Express journalist Carole Malone. And the reason? Because I want us to follow a science led public health approach to regulate drug use.

Brexit - sold by the Johnson’s / Farage n the super rich elite

Thatcher left a society with communities smashed, manufacturing industry wrecked, utilities flogged off and turned into profit centres for their (often o/seas) new owners. Worst of all was the mantra that greed is good, & that concern for others is weakness www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
