That's what happens when close to 100 million people refuse to participate in democracy and stay home on Election Day. Don't do that shit on November 3rd.

If you're a chief executive on a telephone number salary, at least have the grace not to complain about the taxes the fund the benefits your workers have to claim because you refuse to pay them enough to live on

Corporate Welfare Rolls-Royce closing in on £200m govt subsidy to fund development of new engine. Free money. No means-testing. Govt not taking equity stake, money not repayable. RR had operating profit of £3.5bn in 2024-25, will hand up to £9bn to shareholders over next 3 years. archive.ph/r18wm

Sainsbury's has posted an annual profit of £1.02bn. It currently has 10,000 young people working for free, paid by you. With £1.02bn it could hire 105,905 people aged 18-20 for 16 hours a week all year. Why not MAKE the scumbags hire instead of giving them free workers?

There are bombshells and there's this www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

The protests have spread to Serbia. That is Spain France Italy Albania Greece Turkey India Indonesia all protesting at the same time. It's time to force the billionaires out of power.

The youngest House of Lords peer, Baroness (Carmen) Smith of Llanfaes, is proposing a new bill to overhaul the second chamber – and abolish her own role – this Friday. It’s already ruffling feathers among the ermine-robed masses... open.substack.com/pub/bylineti...

UK Chancellor rejects calls to raise Capital Gains Tax. UK wages taxed at 20%-45% + NIC. CGT 18%-24%, no NIC. Subject to ifs and buts: Denmark 27%-42% Norway 37.84% Netherlands 36% Ireland 33% Finland 30%-34% France 30%-34% Sweden 30% Spain 30% UK hits workers, showers gifts on the rich.

During a debate held to discuss giving the RNLI the Freedom of the City, Portsmouth city councillors heard about the abuse that crew members had received in the city, including being confronted in pubs, yacht clubs & shops + two said their children had been bullied at school Reform UK opposed it.

56 individuals in the UK have as much wealth as the poorest 27 million (Oxfam) Yet this man is advocating cutting benefits to fund work support for young people Utterly monstrous www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Britons with savings of £16,000 are disqualified or severely restricted from receiving Universal Credit, Housing Benefit, Income Support. No means-testing for the King. Royal family may be worth £21bn? It has 21 officially categorized royal residences, alongside 13 additional properties.

Finland the happiest country on the planet, bans for profit schools, taxes billionaires, houses the homeless. Take note.

We are being robbed. Of our homes, our healthcare, our retirements, our recreation, our very futures. They lay off 1,000s and use the saving to buy back stocks. Aren't you tired of these thieves taking money out of your pockets?

So here we have it, what we all know but here's the proof. In Burnhams Britain it's all about connections. It's not what you know, it's who. Or who you're married to.

What happened starting in 1980? Mass Privatisation. So instead of your wages being decided by what your Government could afford and what you earned, you are paid as little as possible to maximise profit.

Women are far stronger than most men give them credit for. Plus, they’re way more in control of their actions and emotions. I’m a proud feminist, just like Mr. Momoa.

Lula rips Flavio Bolsonaro apart, "a man who has never set foot on a bus, never worked in his life." A parasite. (With English Subtitles)

Electricity costs put UK steelmakers in worst position against EU rivals. Govt subsidising energy cost of 10,000 businesses via public purse. Others suffer too. Govt not attending to real causes - faulty pricing formula based on cost of gas, profiteering by energy companies. Nationalise energy.

The problem in every country is the same For the last 50 years the billionaires have demanded ever higher profits Their profits are now so high the Government can't afford basic services But those billionaires bribe Politicians So the Government won't take action against them

A dossier of new kompromat clearly links Nigel Farage and his Brexit campaign to Russian intelligence operatives over a series of years... And no one is surprised.

Our NHS has been hollowed out over the last few decades. Thank you @premnsikka.bsky.social The UK has 2.4 NHS beds PER 1,000 people Japan: 12.6 Germany: 7.7 Austria: 6.6 France: 5.4 OECD average: 4.2 This is why we have the disgrace of corridor care. It's time to invest and rebuild our NHS

Woow. From Trump's inner circle comes the rebuff to Trump's incoherent ramblings. 🤬

Let's take our water into public ownership

Target pensions or welfare, don't tax banks, neoliberal IMF tells UK Chancellor. Silence on corporate welfare, bank subsidies and profiteering; poverty, equitable distribution of income and wealth. Sacrificing the old, poor, sick to the gods of fiscal rules, so that banks are not inconvenienced.

Allowing this dead-company-walking to be bailed out again, instead of taking it into Special Administration and then permanent public ownership, would be a disgrace and a betrayal by the Andy Burnham government Enough is enough.

I don't know how many lines have to be crossed before the remaining democratic West realises this fucking maniac cannot be permitted the power he's accumulated. We have Musk. Or we have established international security norms. We can't have both.

The core Sovereign Grant for King Charles from public purse will rise to £99.9m (from 2027/28). 93% increase from £51.8m in 2024/25. 65% higher in real terms than in 2016/17. Did your income rise at that rate? 25.3m people live below minimum income standard. We are in it all together, aren't we

Love James Blunt 's commitment to dressing like he's one half of a 118 118 advert. #CelebrityTraitors

Prisons are overcrowded because we are locking up tens of thousands of people with drug problems, mental health issues & low educational attainment. Meanwhile, Michelle Mone, Post Office bosses, billionaire tax dodgers, those responsible for Grenfell Tower, & many other wealthy criminals walk free!

No investigation, No criminal charges brought, MP's at Westminster & Members of the House of Lords still walk free with no scrutiny & no accountability. Yet everyday the DWP assess people's disabilities in order to take money off them, Folk who need welfare benefit have to jump through hoops.

Without Margaret Thatcher this would have been the UK.

The Royal Family don't do real work like a Teacher or a Nurse says Lord Foulkes and they should have their pay streamlined like the European Royal families instead of getting £137.9m for ribbon cutting. Absolutely the Danish King and Queen get only £0.5m a year.

Carl Quintanilla: Real average hourly earnings down 0.7% on the month, that's the sixth straight month... Jim Cramer: Look, rich people are making a lot of money. God, I sound like Marx. I really don't want to sound like Marx. It's just, look at the data.

Once again. Just like the Paramount Merger Gavin Newsom does what he always does. Sells out the working class people for the billionaires again and again. Not only that but endorses a bill that will make it impossible to tax the wealthy at all. www.commondreams.org/news/newsom-...

It's not migrants making workers poorer it's greedy millionaire bosses paying poverty wages while getting government subsidies "Millions pushed into debt and poverty by precarious low-paid work, study finds" morningstaronline.co.uk/article/mill...

Farage loves Thatcherism making millionaires richer, the rest of us poorer "Britain had its own national oil company, but Thatcher's government sold off its oil-producing interests and used North Sea revenues for day-to-day government finances not a national savings fund" via Truth Against Hate

Trump’s a Russian asset, Farage’s party is a racist enterprise, Putin wanted Brexit & if you tried to make a list of all the UK politicians & pundits who’ve backed all three, you’d be here for hours.

The British Establishment are happy for migrants to be blamed for everything wrong with the UK - just so long as no-one blames the greed of millianires and wants to #TaxTheRich "More secrets out about Farage and Reform following that ITV documentary – just scandal after scandal" via Expose Racism

UK households paid extra £13961 on bills since 2021 amid soaring inflation Has your net income risen by the same? Income tax personal allowance frozen since 2021. Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in direct/indirect taxes than the richest 20%. Hitting the less well-off is normalized.
