I watched Question Time for the first time in ages tonight. Great to see the audience pushing back on the anti-immigration rhetoric from the majority of the panel. Well done @zackpolanski.bsky.social for making your points so well. I expect the membership will be well into six figures soon.

#taxwealthnotwork and stop the transfer of wealth from low and middle income families to the ultra wealthy landlords who don’t do anything productive for the economy unlike nurses, teachers, doctors, police, carers, early child charge, sanitation workers, librarians and the list goes on.
Random taxpayer rant: This is how the reckonomists want you to view Govt... scrounging around for tax revenue, or begging rich people to lend them a few billion dollars to build a 4-lane road or pay Ed Sheeran to play at Eden Park every Saturday for the next 5 years. It's bollox... [🧵 1/n]

Thames Water have been fined £123 million due to their 'unacceptable' impact on the environment.
But as long as the profit motive remains, water companies will keep ripping off customers and polluting our water.
Time for water companies to be run for people, not profit.

😡 Thames Water wanted to use a £3bn emergency loan to pay its executives huge bonuses.
🤮 This after Thames discharged 50% more raw sewage into rivers in 2024.
The bonuses have been stopped, but the message is clear: end the scam and bring water back into public hands.

Labour are going ahead with their vicious welfare cuts that could affect some of the UK’s most severely disabled people.
Not even the Conservatives sank this low.
Two-party politics is dead. Only the Green Party would tax the super-rich properly and protect the most vulnerable.
