What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Three more British MEPs in Nigel Farage’s bloc now alleged to have “followed the script” given to Nathan Gill by an alleged Russian asset, according to prosecutors. At least eight UKIP and Brexit Party MPs were focus of efforts by Nathan Gill www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Gotta agree with this lady. Sitting on £4 million? Pay your tax.

The owner of Reform UK ltd - Farage, has accepted £9m from Thailand resident Harborne. Dubai Dick Tice in 2018 on George Soros donating to UK organisations: "He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?" Vote Refuk - get crypto mafia

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies. Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market. This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

All in one day: Immigration Minister lied about me with a slur. Wes Streeting then tried a different attack. And the Evening Standard write yet another attack piece because I dare to say we need to tax the rich. Want to help create our better future? Join.greenparty.org.uk

It’s really simple… - Cap all political donations - Ban foreign donations - Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties - No titles, honours or peerages for donors - No govt contracts for donors - Publish every donation/lobby meeting …that’ll do it.

Farage in 1999:

“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising” Daisy Cooper

Very telling tonight on Question Time how much the Labour minister absolutely did not want me to talk. Every time I even began a sentence he started to try and distract me. It's not going to work on anyone. Join.greenparty.org.uk

UK energy bills to rise by £108 to pay for infrastructure upgrades. Since 2020 energy companies made £125bn profit. 6.1m live in fuel poverty. £4.43bn energy bills arrears. 128,000 a year die in fuel poverty. Eliminate privatisation of profit. Use it to fund infrastructure. Nationalise.

Thames Water half-year profits leap to £386m after bills rose by nearly a third. Leaks and sewage dumping will continue for years. £20bn+debt. A third of the bill covers interest payments. Captive customers have no choice. End the scam. Nationalise water.

A guy, clearly without a working brain cell donning a hat with the St George's Cross dared to walk into Tesco, film himself making a total tit out of himself and honestly thought he could score points over a FAKE XMAS TREE. I fear for Engerlund, I fear for the level of fuckwittery. I despair.

From today's FT lead story on Farage telling donors he'll cut a deal with the Cons we know the right won't take ANYTHING for granted to seize power at the next election. They did it in 2019 and they'll do it again in 2028/29. So why won't we match a regressive alliance with a progressive one?

All of us: Why, in our judgement, Chris Mason is misleading on most political points, all the time. Because he’s incapable of political commentary that isn’t marinated in his own rightwing bias. Allegations for Labour. Free passes for Tories/Reform. Every Single Time. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

No that's not *your* on *our behalf*. Your job is to report the story, presenting all sides fairly and then *we* call it. What Mason is saying here is fundamentally not what the bbc is for! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Keir Starmer, "Tax rises do make life harder for people, I understand that, it's obvious" It's also obvious that a wealth tax of 1% on those with £10m+ would NOT make life harder for the rich - thats also obvious 🤷‍♂️

Greetings from Kyiv. Today I’m at the railway station, visiting this Christmas beauty. I want the world to see our marvellous resilience.

Our media has become the story. What they decide is newsworthy, what they scream about, who they accuse, who they excuse, who they blame… They have an agenda entirely of their own. Not one rooted in public interest or national responsibility. But one that is deeply rightwing and undemocratic.

Sovereignty? Democracy? Sorry, but we can't afford those anymore. We'll be sued if we try to defend them. This week's column is about a massive but scarcely-covered scandal. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A reminder that one of Wes Streeting's junior ministers is talking enthusiastically about 'cashing in' on NHS data (www.ft.com/content/0531...).

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

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

I regret every joke I’ve made about how our elected officials were so old they didn’t know how to use a computer. I would give anything for another administration that doesn’t know how to use a computer

Not the Brexit deal. Brexit. A prejudiced moronathon that will continue to damage our country until we’re brave/sane enough to admit it, demand accountability from those who insisted upon it and then, finally, start to fix it.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

UK energy bill payers to hand £2bn a year in subsidies to EDF, owned by the French govt, for building two nuclear power stations. That will come handy in keeping energy prices down in France, improving govt finances. Dividends won't be taxed in the UK. All because UK govts oppose public ownership

David Lammy was right in 2020 when he called the jury system fundamental to our constitution. Now the government wants to remove juries from all but the most serious cases. It is dangerous and wrong and the Prime Minister must reverse it.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social has changed the narrative in a handful of months. And the media and the established political class are unable to look away. Every headline, every jibe, only points to the fact that they cannot look away. Phenomenal.

Remember, *nobody* knows what's in this budget until Martin Lewis has done his sums. We have to wait until tomorrow 😉🤣

How long can Labour keep using the bigger tits joke? All it does is raise the profile of the Greens, makes Zack look like a good sport while also drawing attention to Labour's dishonesty? And when it gets old what are they left with? Nothing.

It seems increasingly clear that the plan is to shut down as many hospital departments as possible, send patients home and roll out new privately run hubs with less NHS oversight than ever. While oceans of public money goes to private banks and private healthcare.

SkyNews on the wealth tax, "Labour's Peter Kyle is worried about billionaires leaving the country" Zack Polanski, "I hope Peter Kyle is more worried about the homeless people on our streets and the people using food banks"

"Hospitals are no longer sustainable" seems to be the message coming from the top.

🚨 The verdict is in: Labour plans to use private money to build its “NHS Neighbourhood Rebuild” programme. This is a huge red flag — NHS trusts are still billions in debt from old PFI-style schemes. 💸 We’ll be watching closely as more info comes out. ➡️ www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Kyiv is under missile attack. It’s very loud. Nothing new, really. Just thought the world should know.

Makes as much sense as this goofy peace plan!

Haven't we enough right-wing newspapers? Should DGMT have so many titles? This sale shouldn't go ahead until Rothermere pays some tax. A newspaper owner who doesn't pay any tax shouldn't expect to have any say how this country is run. I expect he was bankrolled by Putin.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

The text of the alleged "peace agreement" betrays its Kremlin origins. They were in such a such a rush they didn't even have it properly translated.
