We absolutely need universal basic income as a secure floor below which no one can fall and everyone can build from. It should not be normalized for people to seek 2nd, 3rd, and 4th jobs in order to make enough money to survive or have a backup plan in case of unexpected job and income loss.
One feature of the collapse we are living through is that things poorer people have had to do are creeping up the income scale

They can spin it however but struggling to make ends meet with a hodge podge of sortof-jobs is both very normal and very bad

I agree with Clive Lewis ( as usual) . We don’t want Palantir in our lives! ID cards were NOT in Lab manifesto, so why are they being foisted on us?
No one agreed to sell their data to Palantir.
Many placed their trust in Labour + voted 4 them in 24.
In return, they betrayed us and sold our data.

Right to Buy might have secured homes for a generation who purchased them but “many of these homes were not replaced with fresh council housing stock, leading to a lack in provision of socially rented properties. And yet today, more than 40% of the homes sold under the scheme are privately rented.”

“According to the English Housing Survey, just 6% of households headed by someone over 65 are privately renting. But the Pensions Policy Institute (PPI) forecasts that this will almost treble to 17% by 2040.”

It is often assumed that people of retirement age will no longer have housing costs to cover. But for a significant and growing group, this is far from the case

Brexit was about corruption and tax avoidance. Sunak and Starmer stitched us up like a kipper with the new deregulated Freeports. Companies pay no tax , but private companies receive tax payers money to run Freeports. Contracts until 2048. Corrupt as hell. Pass it on..... #BrexitCorruption

If only our society took major crimes by rich people as seriously as minor crimes by poor people. Ideally more seriously. But as seriously would be a big improvement.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Millionaires group urge Reeves to introduce wealth tax to ‘lift kids of out poverty’.

But Govts listen to the City type.

1% have more wealth than 70% of the population.
Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%.

Can't grow economic by squeezing the bottom 50%.
Why a group of wealthy Brits have urged Reeves to introduce a wealth tax
This appeal comes ahead of Reeves’s upcoming Budget announcement in Westminster later this month

This type of abusive behaviour winds me up. These people are breaking the law but because the police do nothing they threaten the home owners with theft reports if they take the flag down.

We need to start mass reporting these criminals to the police until they uphold the law.

All this illegal 'flagging' should have been knocked on the head the minute it started.
Instead it seems there are people breaking the law with impunity and ultimately it'll be down to council tax payers to clear it all up when they're just ripped bits of cheap Chinese 'flags' hanging around.

Yeah, as far as I'm concerned the police should be charging these people and the courts should be speeding them through with each infraction coming with a couple of grand fine. The fines should then go to the councils to pay for taking them down and maybe a pothole or two.

The journalist “describes a "manhunt" by "very wealthy people" with a passion for weapons who "paid to be able to kill defenceless civilians" from Serb positions in the hills around Sarajevo.

Different rates were charged to kill men, women or children, according to some reports.”
