Are we not still bored of snakes in politics that say things to look good but then U-turn or pretend they ment something else when they said… are we still putting up with politicians that talk but can’t walk, that promise but can’t commit, that slip and slide through lies and false promises?

Sustained economic growth can’t be achieved without a major boost to the purchasing power of the bottom 50% of the UK population. The govt can do so immediately by increasing income tax-free personal allowance by £3,000. All it needs to do is to end subsidies to commercial banks.

This is how the Chancellor can increase the personal allowance and lift millions out of hardship

What’s your legacy Johnson? Brexit. Total collapse of trust in politics. And this. The small boats symbolise your dishonesty and your failure. You’re responsible for nothing but damage. Not one good thing. Not one proud moment. You’re forever a shameful disgrace who threw his own mandate in the bin.

Way is it that when it comes to the countries budget governments always look for the easiest options. It always seems to be more tax on the working people or austerity. It doesn’t matter who’s in power it’s the same neoliberal policies!

#AndyBurnham is not a socialist, he is a neoliberal who wants to reintroduce work houses in the form of free labour for Sainsbury’s He has delayed #devolution in Essex, his chancellor will probably raise taxes on the working people instead of the super rich and owning class

The government are missing out on nearly £100billion in lost revenue. The taxes avoided by the super rich The opportunity for equalising taxes on capital gains and profit sharing A 2% wealth tax and more easily raise enough to improve the lives of tens of millions

Neoliberalism has ravaged the UK Workers’ share of gross value added down from 71.9% in 1975, to 59.7%. 1.23m workers are on zero-hour contracts. 4.4m jobs pay less than the real living wage. Poorest 20% pay a higher proportion of income in direct/indirect taxes than the richest 20%.

I never thought I would see the day when a once socialist party, that once supported power in the hands of working people, has announced that Sainsbury’s can have workers for free! It didn’t take long for Burnham to be a disappointment! #RightsForWorkers #TheLabourParty #VoteGreen

The minor changes offered by Meta following the US court case will not apply in the UK Why are our politicians so fearful of challenging the tech oligarchs who enable racism, fascism, and glorification of violence? They should grow a pair and protect us leftfootforward.org/2026/08/why-...

Why isn’t the government using its power to stop social media causing so much damage?

As dangerous driving videos spread online, former MEP Molly Scott Cato asks why the government is pretending it is powerless to hold big tech to account

“Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of N Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with S Korea.” This man is failing to defend the United States. This man is a traitor. This man should be removed.

The 60 largest planned data centers could produce the same amount of carbon dioxide emissions as 27 coal plants. Big Tech CEOs are polluting our planet and selling out our future to line their own pockets. We need a data center moratorium — now.

I support Zohran in demonstrating to the United States the appropriate treatment of all citizens.

French economist Thomas Piketty to Zack Polanski, "This neoliberal turn of the 80s has not been a huge success for the middle class and for average living standards" "30 years later, 40 years later. When I look at Brexit or when I look at the Trumpist United States, I don't see very happy people"

Another Green gain? You love to see it. I certainly do.

I know he has a lot on, but in the midst of a ferocious drought, fires, heat events and severe threats to food production, it would be quite edifying to hear Andy Burnham mention climate breakdown.

A few quotes from the happily deceased Rod Liddle. The toxic tabloids and even leader of the Conservative Party, are eulogising him. I say, some people improve the world by simply leaving it. Source: ChatGPT

Mr Lowe is the king and white British national? Yes or No?

England's rivers and lakes are poisoned by sewage. These official numbers prove it - The i Paper This is what happens when the capitalists are deregulated, destruction! This is Thatcher’s legacy, neoliberalism, destruction of infrastructure and British assets, poor service for growing profits

Bills up. Wages too low. Record profits for Oil & Gas. 50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population. Shit in our rivers. Pensioners jailed for protesting. Migrants thrown under the bus. Supporting a Genocide. That's Starmer's legacy.

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve been called a deadbeat dad, or lectured by the social media trolls & bigots about how all Black men abandon their families. The truth is, I’ve been married to the same queen for nearly 30 years, and together we raised two brilliant children.

Correct.
