There is an alternative to Government welfare cuts - a 2% tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach to tax - take more from the few not the many.

The next four years will be shit.

The only slight relief will be the vast, ugly fight between Musk and Trump, which will begin almost immediately; and the increasingly desperate efforts of the GOP to hide Trump's dementia, insanity, fascism, and inevitable stroke.

I wish more people would realize that struggling with poverty and homelessness is not a moral failure.

So many people look down on them for their struggles without realizing they're just one bad unforseen circumstance away from the same thing happening to them

Farage said “Money was discussed. We are in negotiations about whether he can help. He is fully behind this. He is motivated enough by what’s going on in Britain to give serious thought to giving money”

This.

I was diagnosed with bowel cancer 2 days before Christmas last year.

It’s only thanks to the NHS that I am going to be here for this Christmas.
I’m sharing this with some personal words: please be aware of your bowel habits. There is no shame in it. If something doesn’t seem right, go to your GP. My bowel FIT test took minutes to do, a 24 hour wait for the results – and it really did save my life: www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

I think we have to be prepared for the same election interference he ran in the US to be run in the UK and Elon wants Farage in number 10. Don’t ignore this now because it’s coming.

That’s not trolling the UK govt anymore - that’s straight up campaigning for a political party in a foreign country.

It’s serious.
