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?...

Join us at 8pm tonight for the premiere of this week's podcast - we take a look at the recent #Holyrood debate on Scotland's Right to Decide and analyse which points landed and which missed the mark - on BOTH sides of the argument www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg_J...

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?

THE QUESTION OF OWNERSHIP Why do we spend a fortune subsidising the profits of multi-millionaires? Read the latest from Richie Venton on democratic public ownership, and why the question of ownership is key in the debate about Scotland’s future. #SSP #PublicOwnership #Transport #Energy #Scotland

CEO of scandal-ridden Deloitte gets 45% pay rise to £7.1m, 1,360 jobs cut. CEO pay = 93 times median employee pay. Firm doesn't pay employer NIC on profits shared by partners, worth £150,000 for £1m profit shared. £899m shared. 108 govt contracts in 2026, worth £650m. Friends in high places.

UK Chancellor pledges cheaper marmalade and gherkins in pre-Budget package of 'everyday fixes'. Fiddling at the edges. Need redistribution of income and wealth. End profiteering in housing, energy, water, essentials. Increase tax personal allowance.

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...

Ahead of tomorrow's budget statement. Here’s how the UK chancellor can raise the billions needed to improve the quality of life of millions by addressing tax and fiscal anomalies. There is no shortage of money. All that is needed is the political will.

Attempts to shine a light on the situation in Palestine must not be silenced. Palestinians must not be abandoned and left to face ethnic cleansing and genocide in silence. Read @katenevens.bsky.social's full statement 👇

HSBC quarterly pre-tax profits surge 32% to $9.6bn (£7.14bn). Banks receive bailouts, subsidies, pay measly return to savers, hike charges, rely on the state as lender of the last resort but threaten retaliation if taxed. Must levy windfall tax.

End the tax breaks for big tech. Use the money to fund warmer homes!

📣 Paisley pensioners miss out on £2.4m in Pension Credit every year. 💷 Check if you’re entitled to Pension Credit, Council Tax Reduction or Housing Benefit. Don’t miss out on money you’re due.

'Reliance on consultants means poor in-house knowledge, poor decisions.' Yeah, we've noticed 😡

The Duchy of Cornwall says it collected £503,711 rent from the King for Highgrove House. Prince William is the Duke of Cornwall. Father pays rent to son. No money left the family but nice PR. Previously, King Charles was the Duke of Cornwall. He was paying rent to himself.

'Shocking to hear how wholesale gas price has gone up since Jackdaw decision this week.' 🤔 Probably necessary for the viability of the deal - Which begs the question - WTF is the point!?😡

Jackdaw gas field is not a jobs plan. It is not an energy bills plan. It is not an energy security plan. And it is certainly not a climate plan. We cannot wean ourselves off fossil fuels by burning more fossil fuels. Read more here:

Friday: The #BBC decide that top of the “National” news is that parts of the South of England are experiencing adverse weather. Saturday: An Orange weather warning issued for Scotland and Ireland. Travel warnings of risk to life. Top of the BBC “National” news is whether an actress got a letter.

Business flights within the UK are literally fuelling climate breakdown. The Scottish Greens would tax those super-wealthy frequent flyers to fund a millennial railcard for those who currently cannot access discounts on rail travel to make public transport cheaper for everyone.

More than £25,000 in Lords attendance allowances claimed by Lord Houchen with no sign of the “parliamentary work” required - on trips to London usually funded by Tees Valley Combined Authority. Chance to read full story from @privateeyenews.bsky.social online - www.private-eye.co.uk/hp-sauce

We won’t be fooled again.

🤔 So would I be correct in concluding that the ONLY SURE way of creating GROWTH is for the UK Westminster government to SPEND MORE into the UK economy & then tax it back to prevent inflation? 😕

😂😂 I'm pretty sure you're more aware of what's required than UK Gov, who let's face it have a poor record on pretty much everything, It's more for use as a checklist than an intellectual exercise👇🏻 beready.campaign.gov.uk

🚨 Police Scotland have found no criminality relating to the finances of Yes Scotland. It comes after a newspaper report claimed there was £1.5m 'missing' from the pro-independence group's accounts 👉 www.thenational.scot/news/2...

I agree with your analysis & remedy HOWEVER I'm not holding my breath on Westminster delivering anything remotely close to this

John Healey: a neoliberal to his core www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/10...

Banking lobby pushes misleading numbers on tax. Claims UK banks paid £47.8bn in tax; includes PAYE, NIC, VAT paid by other parties; that leaves £25.7bn borne by banks. Silence on profiteering, £100bn subsidy over last 3 years via interest on central bank reserves. Banking frauds buried - HBOS.

Could the government cut your energy bills? youtube.com/shorts/SpuI-...

🤔 Environmental issues aside, there's also a 100% chance that hyper scale data centres of, at best, dubious social worth, WILL substantially decrease the availability & therefore increase the cost of energy & water for domestic & commercial consumers 😡

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?...

Huge regulatory failure. "No independent regulator oversees the trade-effluent process and there is no central register." On this #PoisonedPlanet huge #PublicHealth implications www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The contrast between the utterly sycophantic coverage this week of Kemi Badenoch, whose party has a truly atrocious electoral record under her leadership, and the utterly dismissive coverage of the Greens, tells you everything you need to know about media bias in the UK

Here's something the media is hardly talking about. This Government is set to oversee the steepest fall in living standards in modern times - unless they change course fast. In less than two weeks Labour faces a stark choice - will they tax wealth and back the majority?

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Does Andy Burnham really want to end neoliberalism, and if he does, why has he ruled out rent controls? Why is he talking about public control of water companies, rather than [public] ownership?" Spot on.
