Did you know you pay more fuel tax on a single car journey than a billionaire does on a private jet flight?
Right now the gov is subsidising tax breaks, when they could be using that tax to generate billions for public services.

Is it fair that public transport fare payers see annual increases in ticket prices, while costs for people driving remain static?

The government has STILL not cleared out the highly partisan decision-makers imposed on the BBC by the Tories. Starmer and co are so amazingly spineless and feeble.

This is deeply disappointing from Starmer.
The UK *helped design* this 'TFFF' fund, designed to stop deforestation, and supposedly 'continues to back the fund' (in theory). But now isn't putting any money into it 🤯
How embarrassing for the UK.

This should be a basic requirement for all MPs. We all need to know who those who serve us meet with, and in whose interests they act.

Powerful questioning from my colleague @elliechowns.bsky.social, pinning the government on exactly what it needs to do - NOW - to bring about an end to the atrocities being committed in Sudan.
In the midst of horrific mass killings and violence, British-made military equipment has been found in Sudan.
It's clear our arms export licensing system is not fit for purpose; we need a full review, alongside an embargo on all arms exports to the UAE now.

The government spends £2.7 BILLION a year on TAX BREAKS for oil and gas companies
Those companies pay billions to their shareholders
And then lay off their workers
Think that's unfair?
Tell Rachel Reeves to stop propping up oil and gas companies and back workers instead…
