We can’t let constant surveillance become the new normal. Add your name and tell Zuckerberg to put women’s safety first. goodlawproject.org/s/eba5b1

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 and their lobbyists are trying to hard to block this. Sign the petition today #TaxtheBanks! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Pension triple lock: what's REALLY happening. There’s a huge amount of misunderstanding out there. My must-watch mini-briefing I hope keeps it as simple as possible, so you can see how it’d likely roughly really work. As for is it good or bad… that’s your decision, not mine.

Just sharing this now — because once you see #HowToGetFilthyRich on Channel 4, you’re going to want to sign it. It’s time to tax wealth, not work. Add your name and help make wealth taxes the first item on the new PM’s list. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...

We only have a few days to email our MPs and tell them to back the cap on political donations. I've done it - will you? goodlaw.social/1d328a

I just signed Foxglove's petition to Andy Burnham: if you become our next PM, get Palantir out of our NHS. A secretive US spy tech firm with deep Trump ties has no business holding our health data. Add your name: www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/an...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Mr Bumble is a brilliant name for Nick Ferrari 🤫😂

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 💸 The UK lost out on £59.2bn in unpaid taxes last year— that means 6.4% of all tax owed was avoided, evaded, or accidentally unpaid. That’s according govt’s new Tax Gap report (2026): www.gov.uk/government/s... 1/3

With Keir Starmer resigning, a new PM is moving into No.10 soon. Let's make sure a message from us is waiting on their desk on day one! We need a wealth tax on the super-rich to fund housing, health, and our communities. Add your name so they can't ignore us you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...

@andyburnham.bsky.social Huge tax changes to redistribute wealth, return of key public services to public control, return of the right to protest, changes to political funding, the banning of all MP lobbying/hospitality, tell Israel to f**k right off and ban Twitter - when you’re ready mate 😁

Amazon made £55 MILLION in profit in the UK last year, but only paid a fraction of what they should in tax. Jeff Bezos is rubbing his hands together, avoiding tax, while we pay our dues. Don't think that's right? Sign the petition now.

It is a good thing that No.10 attacking Vance is the first and most read story on BBC News, but ultimately there is going to have to be more substantive action on foreign interference in our politics and national life, starting with money and social media. Govt has dithered.

Palantir, the controversial U.S. company working with ICE and the Israeli military, has access to our private data via NHS databases. We need the Government to trigger the break clause on their contract NOW. 🚨Can you sign and share?

I’ve written a bestselling book about it & still despair at everything described in this excellent thread.

We’ve written seven more fact checks this week about Middle East misinformation on social media as AI images and miscaptioned videos continue to spread. Here’s what to watch out for 👇

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

NATO Article V has been triggered only once: by the US after 9/11. When our ally called, we in the UK didn't hesitate to stand with them. 636 British men & women paid the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan, with many more living with their injuries today.

Most households subject to the two-child limit already have at least one adult in work. Of the minority of households that are not in work, more than nine-in-ten have a child under three or a disabled family member with additional care needs, making any return to the labour market challenging.

To all those ‘child poverty’ warriors out there: child poverty is poverty. Children are poor because their families are poor and their communities are poor. Stratifying poverty might make it more palatable to talk about, but it misrepresents the challenges.

The truth is lots of UK voters are financially and economically illiterate The only thing greater than their ignorance is a massive enthusiasm to blame "others" for their life circumstances other than themselves

Johnson’s crony directors and client journalists should have been cleaned out of the BBC within the first year. Very disappointing that they weren’t. @bylinetimes.bsky.social

@vernonarmsl2.bsky.social Just a word to say well done and thank you to all the bar staff yesterday evening. The pub was super busy after the Everton match but the service was fast and efficient which makes a big difference 👏👏

@uklabour.bsky.social 🤷‍♂️👍

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy.

This is obviously a difficult topic and LG’s thoughtful and humane response is well worth a read.

In order to avoid cuts to key services we all rely on, the government is going to have to tax the extreme wealth of the super-rich. Head of Advocacy and Policy, Caitlin Boswell, had their say on the spending review this morning on GB News.

Hits nail right on head 👏👏👏

Prior to 2017, HMRC had a separate unit to investigate the tax affairs of the super rich. But then they scrapped it. As a result our schools and hospitals are likely losing £billions. taxjustice.eaction.org.uk/tackletaxavo...

If the hard and far right need to blame anyone for “two-tier” policing, they need only look to themselves and the invidious position in which they’ve put officers. My latest, on Liverpool open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

@peterstefanovic.bsky.social Might be worth reading

The care system for children and young is largely privatised and this is the result. Rich men get richer, the rest of us do battle with a failing social care system.

Councils spent more than £160 million on the private equity owned National Fostering Agency over the past two years, newly filed accounts show

Metro Bank plans £60m bonus for bosses, irrespective on performance. Ultimately paid by high charges to customers, staff/wage cuts, branch closures. Govt removed cap on bankers' bonus. Govts tells workers wage rises are inflationary but silence on exec remuneration, dividends, share buybacks.

Wealth Creators? The only wealth they create is for themselves. For everyone else they are poverty makers. Tax the hell out of them and when they leave nationalise the lot.

They both keep their money in Tax Havens.
