Burnham's 1st speech as PM: he's straight up saying he wants to undo 40 years of neoliberalism. No small talk, that's massive if he means it! Feels bolder & more authentic than other 1st speeches, so let's be cautiously hopeful, though not naive. We'll see! #AndyBurnham #PM #UKPolitics #Number10
Nigel Farage's tip for Brits stuck in post-Brexit airport queues? 'Just go by dinghy, it's much easier!' So here’s a reminder of how his Brexit led to the small boats crisis. If UK news shows won’t call his bull**** out let’s do it ourselves youtu.be/A6fCl-uOEVY?...
It’s time UK media reminded Farage how we got into this mess in the first place - BREXIT!

Scam adverts & internet fraud needs to be STOPPED! Watch the passionate video from Martin below - I totally agree. The #Tories are a sad bunch of losers who are guilty of this, but I expected more from #Labour, who got in with a huge majority, yet have done NOTHING. #OnlineFraud #ScamAds #Fraud

Reform won't back workers. They won't reverse anti-trade union laws. And they won't break up the broken electoral system. For all of the talk of being anti-establishment, a Reform government would deliver nothing but division.

It's incredible that his followers are so dumb that he keeps using this insanely stupid claim, knowing they follow like sheep. Sheep who apparently don't notice that any election rigging by Democrats isn't going too well... #Trump #Toobigtorig #MAGA #stopthesteal #thebiglie #trumpresign #democracy
Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 3mo agoOh, honey . . . if Democrats could *really* rig elections, why aren't they in power in the White House, Senate, House, and Supreme Court right now? You're such a simple thing.
Yeah better late than never, but only just! Tucker is still a nut job who pandered to Putin & ignored all the warnings about #Trump And now quite possibly pivoting because he sees the wind changing direction & wants to be ahead of that... Self interest?

Yep - Govt should make the case that their lucky windfalls, esp during #Costoflivingcrisis etc, in turn should be subject to a #windfalltax Aggressively tax them - what are they going to do about it?? Use it on: #NHS, #Housing, modernised #jobtraining eg #AI, #greenenergy, etc
Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 4mo agoWhen Labour next tell you there is no money left and that's why they can't help people to heat their homes, show them this.
It sure does!! We can bring things back to hope. Let's do it!! #HopeNotHate
Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 4mo agoOrban’s defeat shows that when we stand together against the politics of hate and division, hope wins and the far right friends of Farage can be defeated.
Uplifting to see Orban OUT !! Congrats #Hungary - hopefully better days begin now! Here's a little look at what led to all this.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hiay...

This makes no sense whatsoever, is unjust, cruel, & is purely political. We could provide essential support to people with disabilities very easily by taxing the ultra rich! But this Govt fears the rich & stamps on the weak. Total lack of leadership. #disability #welfare #taxtherich #wealthtax
Prem Sikka@premnsikka.bsky.social · 4mo agoUK disability benefit cuts New applicants for the health top-up to Universal Credit to receive half of the current rate whilst cost of living rises. Loss of £200+ a month. If you lose your benefit and reapply, you get the lower rate. Thousands will be pushed into poverty. Cruel.
Private equity controls our lives from the cradle to the grave. Profiteers from hospitals, nurseries, housing, care homes, undertakers. Business model - high prices, low staffing/wages, high debt, asset-stripping, tax abuse. Life commodified & financialised. Profits for the few, misery for many.
Want to know capitalism’s endgame? Just look at private equity – it has captured our everyday lives | Hettie O'Brien

Prem Sikka@premnsikka.bsky.social · 4mo agoBoss of B&Q and Screwfix gets 70% pay rise, to £3.9m. Most store staff are on low wages. B&Q was named and shamed for not paying the minimum wage. Govts preach pay restraint to workers, silence on exec pay, dividends, share buybacks. Workers create wealth, but have no say in its distribution.
