The first question asked in every single political debate needs to be “Who funds you and why”?
Fuckers.
Private companies operating care services in just three regions of England made £250m profits in 3 years,

Profits mean money buys less. Higher taxes for less service.
Say NO to privatisation.

If you're in London today, then there's plenty of opportunities to show Mr Trump that he's not welcome.
If you miss the march, then come along to the rally in Parliament Square at 5 instead and make some noise.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality.
We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

As more info comes in this needs to be said: if it wasn’t some left wing radical that did it, and it appears it wasn’t, there need to be massive pushback because they are STILL pretending it’s some culture war and it is only in their own minds

Owners of 236,500 properties in England and Wales worth £64bn are hidden behind opaque trusts.
Appeasement of the rich facilitates corruption, illicit financial flows.
Compare this to how govts treat the poor. Soon their bank accounts will be snooped on.

I often think I imagine that the conversations I have with my cats are two sided but yesterday I tried to talk to the neighbour’s cat.
It was like being in a country where you can’t speak the language, we just ended up staring dumbly at one another.
So yeah, I talk to my cats.
