A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive.
That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power.
Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

🏠 Give councils the power to control rents
🚸 Lift the two-child benefit cap and extend free school meals to all
