Wow, some incredible mental gymnastics here Rio.

Let’s break it down…

So, you were so “frustrated” the NHS was crumbling & failing your compatriots that instead of using your wealth & status to properly fund it and help fix Britain, you packed your bags for Dubai…

‘Are taxes really going towards benefitting the people who live here?’

Rio Ferdinand explains why Brits like him have left the UK for Dubai.

Apparently "Innovation" means being able to increase your profits taking advantage of working people? Your lack of planning it's not my emergency.

I smell billionaires here...

You have to love the condescending tone ;)
And today it's the turn of The Times to try and patronise us all.

Every single day the right wing establishment tries to close ranks.

And every day we are growing.

As a seasoned professional in my industry I could see this coming from a mile, when interviewing candidates here in UK. No critical thinking, just obsessions with exams results, often composed solely of multiple choice questions. So bad for the student, really appalling education
Our education system isn't working.

Natasha Devon breaks down exactly how we got here in tomorrow's episode of Bold Politics with Zack Polanski.

We don't have to agree on absolutely everything.

But want lower bills? Think billionaires should pay more tax?

It’s time to tax the super rich 🤑🤑Tipping Point’s Midlands Organiser Scarlett spoke to @lbc.co.uk about wealth inequality, migrants justice and more last week 💥We must tax the super rich, protect workers (not billionaires) and make polluters pay‼️ #WealthInequality #MakePollutersPay #MakeThemPay

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP.

Today Nigel Farage said the government should cut the minimum wage for young people

...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business"

It's £10ph FFS!

Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger

DO YOU SEE IT NOW?

Ridiculous. The world does not need less taxes for corporations. They need to pay their fair share.

#WealthInequality
📈Amazon paid just £932 million in taxes in 2023, on £29 billion of turnover.🤑

If it wasn't for the Digital Services tax, they'd have paid less than half of that!

No wonder they want it scrapped — its too hard to dodge.

Stop tax cuts for tech giants!👇

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Trump’s DOJ unsealed an indictment against six protesters—including Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, for allegedly impeding an ICE officer outside of a detention facility.

The move is a stunning continuation of Trump’s weaponization of judicial and police power to crush dissent.
House candidate Kat Abughazaleh calls her indictment for protesting a "political prosecution”
“This case is a major push by the Trump administration to criminalize protest and punish anyone who speaks out against them.”

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social used his QT appearance last week to talk about the case for a #WealthTax, and to remind us we shouldn’t be intimidated by the empty threats of a minority of greedy vested interests.
