“The government must crack down on tax dodging, especially by the super-rich, but it must go so much further than that if it wants to transform our country and have a fighting chance at the next election. It must raise taxes on the very richest.”
It’s not about Rayner or Farage: the real tax story is how the super-rich avoid paying their share| Rebecca Gowland
To focus on individuals is misguided: the problem is a tax system hugely skewed in favour of the ultra-wealthy, says Rebecca Gowland of Patriotic Millionaires International

Corporate America’s playbook:

1) Exploit workers to maximize profits
2) Use profits to buy Congress
3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws
4) Use these laws to further exploit workers
5) Repeat

Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next.

This is what dictatorship looks like.

This is organised far-right race-hate.

The vast majority of people don't believe in this racist bile.

Say NO to Reform UK and the Tories.

Say NO to the right wing media fueling hate

Say NO to Labour and their anti-migrant rhetoric.

The billionaire press barons must be having a right laugh…

Here we are distracted & arguing over asylum seekers (0.2% of the population)

Meanwhile, billionaires (just 0.0002% of the population) hoard more wealth than half the UK

Immigration isn’t draining us

Inequality is.

As we watch Keir Starmer and his team expand NHS privatisation, please remember that he was elected to become Labour leader saying specifically that he would remove NHS private outsourcing. He then quietly dropped this pledge in Summer 2022.

While the nation has plenty of real problems to deal with, Trump is ignoring them to manufacture fake emergencies.

Why?

He wants more power — and he wants to distract from his unpopular agenda.

It should be clear that America’s actual national emergency is Donald J. Trump.
