The Budget should:
โ Tax wealth like work by equalising Capital Gains Tax with Income Tax, raising ยฃ19.7bn a year
โ Work towards a 2% tax on wealth over ยฃ10m, raising ยฃ24bn a year
@andyburnham.bsky.social has vowed to end the failure of trickle-down economics. Tomorrow should be the start of that.
It's time for the Chancellor to give our rigged tax system the red cardย ๐ฅ
Our Super-Rich Tax Match proved that talent is being held back by unfair rules that favour wealth over work. But just look whatย happens when we level the playing field...the workers finally win.
Why are the people who accuse those talking about reversing Brexit of "living in the past" never asked about their own plans to rip up an international agreement that was first signed by the UK some 75 years ago?
The tip of this particular iceberg of corruption, which is blatant and
utterly shameful.
Yet many in Westminster effect to be puzzled at the electorateโs increasing lack of trustโฆ.

Since his ennoblement in Boris Johnsonโs 2023 resignation list, Tees Valley regional mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen has claimed more than ยฃ25,000 in tax-free daily โattendanceโ allowances from the House of Lords for 73 days when he hasnโt voted, spoken or performed any recorded parliamentary activity.
Simon Heffer's review of "Bank Job" by Liz Truss is up there with Sir Richard Evans review of Boris Johnson's Churchill biography.
"If you are seeking a Christmas present for someone you really donโt like, give them a copy."
(If I get a copy of this in Secret Santa someone is in serious trouble.)
Monstrous beyond all reckoning. The US is using remote sensing *designed for humanitarian purposes* for the opposite purpose, potentially drowning civilians en masse. Trump hates Somalis. His troops appear to be exploiting the weather to help slaughter them.

BBC happily interviews lots of Zionists saying they are offended and fearful about Green Party rehashing a 1975 UN motion saying Zionism is racism
But not Palestinians living in apartheid Israel about discrimination they face in jobs, housing, education every day of their lives

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro.
It's a loss for Trump.
For Musk.
For Milei.
For Netanyahu.
For Farage.
For Meta and Zuckerberg.
For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters.
And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.
notice how andy burnham is unwilling to do *anything* progressive or helpful in this parliament?
labour have like 3 years left on the clock and he's unwilling to do anything helpful. instead we're getting more austerity, more bigotry, and more corporate entanglement in our infrastructure.
Canโt believe this. Speaking plainly, and honestly. Finally addressing the issue head on, instead of skirting around it, pretending Brexit is fine. Finally.
BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet.
WHY
I never want to hear about CEOs doing work again. This woman found the task of 'give 3 bullet points about your own child' too difficult. These parasites would curl up and die without the working class.

Itโs not about October 7thโฆ the Israelis had no compassion for the people of Gaza even before that date!
The population of Israel are of one mind, always will be. Otherwise why would they vote in a Genocidal government?

This is horrific. And unsurprisingly the work of a "conservative" multimillionaire. Other adjectives might include creepy, prurient, dictatorial and abusive, not to mention, of course, transphobic. Once more with feeling: we need to get the money out of politics.

There is no treatment on the NHS. If you have severe anxiety and depression you just get antidepressants and five weeks group CBT. These people make me sick.
Rowling *never* writes about womenโs rights, workplace discrimination or the threats to women from predatory men.
I tracked her posts for five months: Well over 200 hateful transphobic smears.
Not a single post about womenโs actual concerns or needs
None
The rich have their political views and treat buying politicians like a hobby
Politicians being financed and supported by the rich, ordinary voters being pushed away from a fair and democratic society
You can see why people can't be bothered with politics
The rich have wrecked politics

Are unions still under the heel of new labour party imperialist minions??
Still time for them to join in, stop the extreme nationalism in favour of international unity."
