At the end of Louis Theroux's documentary he has to hide from the IDF as they are hunting Palestinians and he suspects they might kill him too. Theroux says, "Can we ring the Police." And the Palestinian laughs, there is no one who will protect them from Israel.

This is why you need a Wealth Tax.

The revelation that Sunak has paid £1M in tax in the last 3 years 0.13% of his £720m wealth. While the average person has paid about £45k or 14%, 100x as much. Should open your eyes to just how much and how blatantly the rich dodge tax

In ten days time with your help we can cap how much money anyone can personally give to a political cause and any chance millionaires can buy our politics. If you agree share this and ask your MP to co sign the amendment. It’s time we made sure it’s democracy not donations that define our future.

This is Lord Rothermere the owner of the Daily Mail. He lives in a massive mansion in the English countryside, but he pays no tax here because he identifies as French. While the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and pays no tax anywhere. That is his ‘Patriotism’.

I can’t believe we still have no rules on this! Email your MP now!

Reform Political Advertising@reformpoliticalads.bsky.social

10 years on from Brexit, there are still no rules to stop lies in election ads. We’ve tabled amendments to prevent ads like the Brexit bus misleading voters again. Email your MP and ask them to sponsor them. 16 MPs have so far. It takes 30 seconds 👇 reformpoliticaladvertising.org/take-action/...

Sorry to re-up this, but the media silence on the massive, country-changing shift towards arbitrary justice and authoritarianism is almost the most astonishing aspect of the case. The new dispensation is being normalised even as it's happening. Please spread it far and wide. We need to know. Thanks

Both the government and the Court of Appeal now treat protesters as terrorists and terrorists as protesters. It's hard to accept that a "Labour" government is imposing rightwing authoritarianism on the UK, but please read this column to see what's happening.+🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.

This Palestinian boy in Gaza broke down in tears after his glasses were damaged. Amid Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza and blockade on the entry of supplies, it may be impossible for him to replace the glasses.

Shell are only interested in profits - the claim that new drilling will bring more tax is false - Rosebank needs a £3 billion tax subsidy, to it’s Norwegian owners, to produce oil that will not even 'set foot' in our country - it’s a scam on British taxpayers. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Shadow energy secretary Claire Coutinho keeps saying the "UK is the only country in the world banning new oil and gas licenses". It's completely untrue. Denmark, France, Spain & Ireland have all done the same. She went completely unchallenged on Talk this AM when she repeated it.

This week Israel murdered another Palestinian journalist in Gaza This was Hind Khoudarys damning message to intl journalists last month: "We are being hunted & killed.. while all of you watch in silence.. Israel is killing us one by one, and not just us, our families too.."

James O’Brien@mrjamesob.bsky.social

I feel much more anger towards the British pundits & politicians who failed to understand the depravity & derangement of Donald Trump than I do the ones who failed to understand the idiocy of Brexit. But it doesn’t really matter because they’re exactly the same bloody people.

So.. We try (& sometimes fail) to hold it together as we unpack the chaos: - Those Palestinian death penalty celebrations - The Gaza blueprint now rolled out for Lebanon - Our pathetically weak politicians …and the sense that ordinary people are shouting into a void New Trawl ep: Listen 👇🏾

Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men on earth, is raising $100 billion to replace workers with robots around the world. The oligarchs want it all. Not going to happen. Stand up and FIGHT BACK.

The Israeli government is now doing to southern Lebanon what it has done to Gaza. Horror and death on an unimaginable scale. And still our governments supply weapons, intelligence and diplomatic support. #PartyToTheCrime
