Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power. It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

Australians have a right to access government information and to understand how decisions are made on their behalf. I just signed this @australiainstitute.org.au petition calling to end government secrecy: nb.australiainstitute.org.au/end_governme...

Quote of the day: "The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants. Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America." To which I add, people everywhere & their institutions.

Think about this next time sipping on a Starbucks coffee.

The depravity of Trump's pardon can not be justified by a hypothetical when the substance of the drugged killing of many millions is caused by the person pardoned.

BOE Cuts Banks’ Benchmark Capital Requirements. Just as the AI bubble readies to burst, and shadow banking is running amok. Lower buffers will reduce bank ability to absorb shocks. Guess who will bail out banks? We haven't recovered from the last crash. archive.ph/ivAJV

On the way to modern day slavery status.

Budget hits the young in England From 2027, repayment threshold for student loans frozen at salary of £29,385. Due to fiscal drag repayments will be sooner. Graduates face 37% marginal tax rate By 2030 minimum wage likely to be £29k. Graduates on min wage will be forced to repay loans. Why?

Oh, the irony 😁

This is the most corrupt, lawless administration in the history of the United States and there’s no close second.

UK budget freeze on income tax thresholds Over the next 5 yrs, 780,000 more people, the poorest, will pay income tax for the first time. Someone earning £50,000 will pay £9,512 in tax, an increase of £1,247 because thresholds are frozen. Can't grow economy by hitting low/middle income earners.

Rachel Reeves' Budget was a damp squib, delivering austerity by stealth. There was no vision, and no investment. There was just fear of the City of London. In this video, I ask why the Chancellor has surrendered economic power to finance. youtu.be/6pTpT_uB_4M?...

Chancellor Reeves = gross incompetence.

You elected the fraud, you fix it.

The Labour Government refused a 1% asset tax on the super rich, yet raised taxes on people already struggling. All whilst their "black hole" turned out to be utter nonsense. Active choices to refuse to fund our communities which they desperately need. Join.greenparty.org.uk

BOOM!! 100,000 signatures! Now let’s have a date for the debate petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Minister defends 'pragmatic' U-turn on workers' rights. It was a manifesto pledge Why no 'pragmatic' U-turn' on nationalising water, energy, rail rolling stock companies and freight; ending privatisation of the NHS and social care; taxing the super rich?

Just an image, not the video.

One of whom presented a Russian capitulation document as a US peace plan. That’s the headline. We need headlines that are true and not news jargon that washes out the basic facts.

Why wouldn’t you want to know? What have you got to fear? Losing your precious Brexit? Being revealed as a traitor and a liar? Surely, anyone decent and honest who genuinely cares about our country and our democracy has nothing to lose from this. So, sign up. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

The UK government’s budget is simply managing decline. The budget does little to improve living standards or facilitate sustained economic growth. Can't grow economy by hiking taxes on low/middle income families. Whatever happened to taxing the rich?

Budgets are about priorities. The idea is to tax things you want less of & subsidise things you want more of In Australia we spend $14 billion per year on fossil fuel subsidies & we are cutting science jobs at CSIRO… As i said, budgets are about priorities #climate thepoint.com.au/news/251127-...

The UK is cursed: how finance destroyed our economy youtu.be/WUy_Hl-sD6Q?...

The country wants a wealth tax on assets. They're panicking because "won't the rich just leave" has been utterly debunked. They've got no actual argument. Join.greenparty.org.uk

The resource and finance curses dealt heavy blows to the UK and Australian economies. Unlike Norway we failed to deveop a Soverign Wealth Fund for everyone's benefit, instead politicians over the last 40 years have thrown it away in favour of tge wealthy, especially overseas investors.

Utterly leaderless and incompetent UK government, again.

Budget 2025. The wealthy hardly hit. Minor tweaks on dividend and mansion tax. No wealth tax. No alignment of taxes on dividends & capital gains tax with taxation of wages. Partnerships won't pay NIC on partners' share of profits No financial transactions tax. Lobbying and political donations pay

Rachel Reeves says her budget delivers stability. The Office for Budget Responsibility's charts tell a very different story. High interest rates, low investment, falling profitability, rising unemployment and no improvement in household incomes. youtu.be/oAN7e3-yryE?...

Because Farage is a billionaire stooge.

Well, isn't that an admission of lack of competition in the whole sector, suggesting prices will rise with increasing tax?!

It is sickening that profit motivated influencers are permitted to engage in policy making when the over-whelming evidence is that we face a climate catastophy unless we act now; which is also long overdue. nb.australiainstitute.org.au/strong_envir...
