Stop companies like Amazon from paying a fraction of what they should in tax.
Jeff Bezos has just been crowned the world's third richest person...while Amazon dodges billions in tax. Right now, governments are negotiating new global tax rules. Tell the UK Government: don't cave...

Bet365 CEO Denise Coates paid herself £277,000,000 this year, and £410,000,000 in 2020. This was more than 20,000x the Minimum Wage that she paid most of her workers. The betting industry needs to be taxed, heavily.
Your #5OClockInspiration ... This is a Map of Foodbanks in the UK when the Tories lost power. This was a national disgrace. Tories drove poverty to record levels. Don't ever, EVER, let them near power, ever again.
Despair is not just wrong. It's irrational. Things can change, at astonishing speed. In fact, the flip might be happening already. My article for the Guardian's climate support campaign. www.theguardian.com/membership/2...
Don’t despair about what’s happening to our planet. That’s what they want you to feel

Dan Sullivan took nearly $10,000 from Epstein associates, then voted to confirm Blanche - The Alaska Current
Last year, Sullivan voted to block the release of the Epstein files, then took nearly $10,000 in contributions from two contacts of the dead child sex trafficker.

Tackling Climate Change is very simple. Stop burning Fossil Fuel. You do that by building Wind and Solar. China builds 5x as much Wind and Solar as all of Europe and North America combined. We aren't even trying.
They openly admit their election crimes & are actively doing everything they can to undermine & outright steal the Midterm Elections. Any surprise he fired the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission? He knows if he loses he's headed for a 3rd Impeachment & an orange jumpsuit. 🤞 👍

The old ‘hacking’ excuse from Banks, which he tried to use on me and @carolecadwalla.bsky.social when we obtained emails of his many visits to the Russian embassy to talk gold and diamond deals with Kremlin officials. He knew it wasn’t true then, and isn’t now
