Rich owners/editors of FT call for cut to the state pension. Silence on corporate welfare, tax perks of the rich. State pension is less than 50% of the minimum wage. 2m pensioners in poverty. 110,000 a year die in fuel poverty. Low pension today = low pension for future retirees archive.ph/UZ9rn

Good plan, Australia and Canada. Huge sigh, UK. How long do we wait, how much do we lose, how stupid do we have to be?
Best for Britain@bestforbritain.org · 4d agoAustralia and Canada are leading the way - they are choosing closer ties with the EU. The EU is our closest partner. The UK government should put EU membership on the table. It's really a no-brainer.

You don't fight fascism by trying to change the minds of fascists. That's mostly impossible because they're lost to a cult. You fight fascism to change the minds of non-voters and fellow travellers by showing how fascist policies affect real life. That's an important lesson antifascists can learn.
All the money in the world won’t make Reform’s moronic policies workable. It won’t make their people less racist or idiotic. It won’t sort out their ridiculous egos or end the investigations. It won’t make the majority of us loathe them any less. In fact, the money may well bury them. Let’s hope so.
The New York Times did not blink. The Times: “We won’t be issuing a retraction." But they didn't stop there. "This is another all too common example of the president lashing out at coverage he doesn’t like and belittling journalists who report the facts.”

It’s not too late to stop this madness - the government has said the uk mega donors are a problem. The lords can bring in a cap on UK donors to stop any attempt to buy the next election. Share this and ask your MP to join us protecting British democracy.
