Labour now briefing young people won't get the same minimum wage uplift. Even Starmer didn't break this pledge. Workers rights mean same rights, pay & conditions, same rate for the same job. What does this Labour government have against young people? inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Super-rich get ‘double dividend’ from causes and costs of climate crisis. They profit from polluting industries, and through the ‘adaptation economy’. Super-rich buy govts, control means of production and think tanks. Victims pay higher prices for food, homes, relocations. Who governs?

Imagine a world where we are no longer dependent on oil and nuclear energy. It's coming and it's better and that's why the vested interests are doing everything in their power to stop it

What happens if the budget ignores Britain's real debt crisis? If you listen to what he will say, you'd think the national debt is our problem. It isn't. Private sector debt is three times bigger - and that is where the debt crisis will happen. youtu.be/szmZZwwtAm8?...

What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

Growth that kills its host isn’t growth. It’s cancer with good PR.

Why do shareholders get the rewards when workers create the wealth a company generates? Is it time to rethink just what companies are for and to require that the rewards be shared more fairly? youtu.be/15r28WaimP8?...

Politicians should look at the UK economy as a CEO would, says Lloyds Bank CEO From a bank that hasn't investigated HBOS frauds. No thank you. Companies enrich shareholders. Countries have entirely different purpose, governance, accountability. Must not be treated as corporations. archive.ph/lj45s

The ex director of communications for David Cameron pushing the narrative that the welfare budget is out of control. Not true of course.

Corporate penetration of the NHS’: Revolving door raises concerns over ADHD review. Instead of expanding NHS capacity, govts hand contacts to private providers making vast profits. The same providers meet ministers to influence terms of reviews. More privatisations follow. Public money buys less.

More sinner than saint (like most of Burnham's Friends of Israel packed Cabinet) meme via James Branch

Farage caught out in blatant lie He pretends to care about poor people while proposing our NHS replaced by US-style private healthcare where the super-rich get excellent care the well-off go bankrupt the poor left to die "Our NHS is not safe in Nigel Farage’s hands" www.youtube.com/shorts/Q9fnI...

I'm sure followers of Reform UK sites would love to know ... "Muslim community members in Bradford, England, helped save the city’s historic Reform Synagogue from possible closure by raising funds for essential repairs and supporting efforts to secure additional financial assistance" via Humanistan

More than third of post offices in TG Jones (formerly WH Smith) stores to shut by early 2027 WH Smith was bought by private equity, shut-down shops. Many towns/districts are without a bank branch or a post office. Cuts footfall, bad news for traders who take cash.

They are SUNK

Zionism is racism (said UN); Israel is an apartheid state (said Nelson Mandela); Murdering 22,000 children is not an act of self-defence (says anyone with humanity, not brainwashed by Zionist propaganda, nor funded by Israeli lobbyists); Arms sales to continue genocide are evil (says me)

It seems targeting British school children for the crime of protesting against genocide is far more important to Friend of Israel Andy Burnham than prosecuting a British volunteer in the Israeli army who helped burn down a Gaza school murdering Palestinian children

Lewis Hamilton "Free Congo, free Sudan, free Syria, free Palestine."

Muslims and immigrants, despite all the lies we're told about them, have never presented a systemic threat to Western security, let alone to "Western civilisation". Instead, the threats come from our governments, especially in the US, and their grim alliances with capital and overseas dictators.

This from the man who hasn't turned up for his day job but is still taking our money. We deserve better than this. We deserve better politicians. Is it time for proper employment terms and conditions for MPs? #Farage #WorkshyFarage

This was once a forest in Finland of more than 250,000 trees. Google chopped it down illegally to build another one of their AI Monstrosities. The sooner they are all bankrupt the better.

Zionism is not Judaism. Israel does not represent Judaism or all the world's Jews. It is a criminal & genocidal regime. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

Climate change - it's happening even faster than scientists thought, folks - and not a single government is prepared for the food shortages & chaos about to happen ....

UK law requires companies to pay dividends from realized profits, must maintain capital. Law is poorly enforced. Water companies flout it. Carillon abused it. Now Govt proposes that dividends can be paid without capital maintenance. Madness to appease corporations.

Anglian Water fined puny £1.6M for polluting 14km of River Brain. Ignored alarms telling them that sewage was being dumped. Highest levels of toxic ammonia. AW has numerous criminal convictions. No exec prosecuted, licence to operate not cancelled. Fleecing normalized.

Privatisation was always a convenient way of funnelling £billions more public money into the off-shore tax-avoiding accounts of the already super-rich meme via Trevor Morgan

Is this the beginning of the end for neoliberalism? It's not just what is happening in France that makes me think so. Everywhere, there are signs that neoliberalism is out of road, and a replacement is needed. Thankfully, there is one. youtu.be/jAV2v60GgBw?...

Zionism vs Judaism. Here is an image that should explain the difference, Jewish photojournalist Heidi Levine being punched, kicked, stamped on and robbed, by Zionists. #ZionismIsRacism

Won’t lower energy bills. Won’t boost energy security And creates just 27 jobs. Compared to all the benefits of investing in renewables and insulating our homes. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/zac...

The Govt claiming we must drill more fossil fuels so we can use the tax revenues to fund the green transition is about as logical as a doctor telling you to smoke 2 packs a day to raise the money for your lung transplant You don’t put out a fire by pouring on more fuel 🔥#Jackdaw

UK ‘wealth exodus’ was manufactured by the press. The press complaints body IPSO must investigate or step aside. The story started with one study which now admits it has no evidence. Media owned by corporations and the super rich lapped it up, served their economic interest, ideological purpose.

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

In a functioning democracy reporting like this would contain the relevant facts that Phillipson receives funding from the Israel lobby and votes in favour of policy supporting Israeli apartheid and genocide whenever given the opportunity. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

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?

Will Labour next week in the budget tell us sad stories about "difficult decisions" and how there's "no money left?" Or will this Labour Government challenge the broken economic thinking that has lead us to this place? And tax the assets of multimillionaires & billionaires? 👀

Not bombshells. Entirely on brand “appalling behaviour” and “extreme racism” from an appalling, extreme and racist party, led by an appalling, extreme and racist man. The apples are all rotten because the tree is. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Billionaire using AI to sack thousands of workers pretends to care whether poor people starve or die

I grew up drinking directly from the spring. Cold, clean, safe. Today, my younger brother in the same village buys bottled water. What changed? We did. We cut the trees that held the water. We built on waterways. We threw waste where water should flow.

ITV footage shows racist, sexual, violent rhetoric among Reform members. These lunatics say “King Charles is a f***ing Muslim… " and want him to be beheaded. They want concentration camps for migrants, violence against minorities. Return of the Nazis, 100 years after the Cable Street resistance.

What if austerity was never necessary? Where would we be now? Without rioting in France, for a start. And in a country with hope, and not despair, as we have here in the UK. It is time to consign austerity to history for good. youtu.be/0c61E0MKCF8?...
