Let's be brave. Let's have a tax on wealth over £10,000,000 #taxtherich

38 Degrees@38degrees.bsky.social

Our joint research with @ippr.org proves that we don't have to accept crumbling public services. Just a 2% tax on assets over £10 million could deliver 90,000 new council houses and help 900,000 people with locally led support to get them into good jobs.

Can't wait for the upcoming 4 hour documentary "Musk", hopefully exposing him for the utterly fraudulent and nasty neo-nazi he perhaps always was, though previously in secret. He's like a Bond villain on steroids. Or crack. #Musk #ElonMusk #MuskFilm share.google/a200Ht0soxVu...

Big UK banks pocketed £29.2bn in six months while our bills went up! A windfall tax on bank profits would raise £19bn for our schools & NHS. But banks & their lobbyists are trying to hard to block this. Sign the petition today & tell John Healey: #TaxtheBanks! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Get Palantir OUT of our #NHS !

38 Degrees@38degrees.bsky.social

This is what the founder of Palantir really thinks of our NHS. Why are we giving them £330 million of NHS contracts - when they have nothing but disdain for our National Healthcare system?

It's crazy that we're even having to debate this. Yes! Share & tell others... #taxtherich #wealthtax

38 Degrees@38degrees.bsky.social

Would you back a 2% tax on the super rich to pay for 130,000 extra care workers and more?

Supporters of Reform UK don't seem to mind corruption, racism or misogyny very much, do they? After the dip in numbers, what does the remaining percentage say about our population? Sad times. #ReformUK

The Times from ten years ago this week. They were wrong. In fact Brexit is costing the UK economy roughly £100 billion a year. #ProjectFear

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

New GB News accounts are out. Here are their losses to date. Or "spent political donations" if you prefer

Utterly outrageous, & frankly mind-blowing hypocrisy! The #Tories are back to slithering in slime.

Adam is my friend, so I'm biased. But he's a darned sight better than the rest of them. Which presumably is why Badenoch fears him. Which is presumably why he's banned.

From tomorrow, UK household energy bills go up by the biggest rise in 4 years! Make sure to submit a meter reading before tomorrow to ensure your supplier doesn’t overcharge and consider switching to a fixed tariff if you can to avoid potential winter increases!

Support this!

Surely this BREAKING NEWS revelation must be the END of Farage & Reform! It might not be, but it certainly should... #Reform #Farage #ReformCorruption #FarageToPrison

Channel 4 News@channel4news.bsky.social

Undercover footage verified by Channel 4 News reveals a secret plot by senior Reform UK figures to break the law on party donations. A leading legal expert is now calling for a criminal investigation. 🔗 Read the exclusive story on Substack:

Burnham's 1st speech as PM: he's straight up saying he wants to undo 40 years of neoliberalism. No small talk, that's massive if he means it! Feels bolder & more authentic than other 1st speeches, so let's be cautiously hopeful, though not naive. We'll see! #AndyBurnham #PM #UKPolitics #Number10

Nothing to hide of course... #farage

“The question is not whether AI will transform public life. It already is. The question is whether democratic societies retain the capacity to shape the terms on which that transformation occurs.” Baroness Kidron OBE writes for our seventh annual report. Read it here:

Scam adverts & internet fraud needs to be STOPPED! Watch the passionate video from Martin below - I totally agree. The #Tories are a sad bunch of losers who are guilty of this, but I expected more from #Labour, who got in with a huge majority, yet have done NOTHING. #OnlineFraud #ScamAds #Fraud

The mad thing is, this is a great opportunity to obtain revenue from the super-rich tax-avoiding tech-giants too! #Regulate so that reporting is easy and confirmed scams result in BIG FINES to the tech giants who allowed & profited from them - bingo, a source of revenue & disincentive rolled into 1

Reform won't back workers. They won't reverse anti-trade union laws. And they won't break up the broken electoral system. For all of the talk of being anti-establishment, a Reform government would deliver nothing but division.

It's incredible that his followers are so dumb that he keeps using this insanely stupid claim, knowing they follow like sheep. Sheep who apparently don't notice that any election rigging by Democrats isn't going too well... #Trump #Toobigtorig #MAGA #stopthesteal #thebiglie #trumpresign #democracy

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

Oh, honey . . . if Democrats could *really* rig elections, why aren't they in power in the White House, Senate, House, and Supreme Court right now? You're such a simple thing.

Yeah better late than never, but only just! Tucker is still a nut job who pandered to Putin & ignored all the warnings about #Trump And now quite possibly pivoting because he sees the wind changing direction & wants to be ahead of that... Self interest?

George Takei@georgetakei.bsky.social

Is the dam breaking?

Yep - Govt should make the case that their lucky windfalls, esp during #Costoflivingcrisis etc, in turn should be subject to a #windfalltax Aggressively tax them - what are they going to do about it?? Use it on: #NHS, #Housing, modernised #jobtraining eg #AI, #greenenergy, etc

Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social

When Labour next tell you there is no money left and that's why they can't help people to heat their homes, show them this.

It sure does!! We can bring things back to hope. Let's do it!! #HopeNotHate

Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social

Orban’s defeat shows that when we stand together against the politics of hate and division, hope wins and the far right friends of Farage can be defeated.
