You have just one enemy in life - the Conservative Party.
Tice is a fucking monster.
Had his money salted away offshore for years and now shacked up in tax exile with Oakeshit in Dubai.
Loves to tell everyone else how to live their lives whilst he contributes as little as he can.
Yet another example that the ultra rich right don’t want YOU to have anything

Leaving the Government’s proposed changes aside, SOME refugees and asylum seekers are genuinely fleeing war and persecution. Some will be economic migrants in no need of international protection.
Which is why the ONLY reliable approach to asylum, is to treat every case upon its INDIVIDUAL MERITS.
A strong immigration system doesn't need to be a cruel one.

It shouldn't need saying - but refugees & asylum seekers are real people, fleeing war and persecution.

This daughter of an immigrant is proud of our British and Labour values of respect and not turning our backs on people in real need.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

I stand in solidarity with the Starbucks workers on strike.

When a corporation can pay $96 million to its CEO for just four months of work, it can afford to pay its workers a living wage and decent benefits.

The ultra rich right don’t want YOU to have anything.
Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Healthcare related donors have not given Wes Streeting £225k.
Rather, they have primed him to do them favours in the future. This will come to fruition by those donors receiving Government contracts worth millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money.
Limit political donations NOW.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting says that the British Medical Association, which represents Britain's doctors, is a threat to the NHS. Streeting took a record £225k from private healthcare-related donors in just two years.
British Medical Association ‘threat to future of NHS’, says Streeting ahead of doctors’ strike
Health secretary accuses doctors’ union of ‘cartel-like behaviour’ and tells it to ‘get real’ over pay demands

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC.

Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA.

Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ.

Reform UK, vote Nigel Farage if you think

The Minimum Wage is too high.
The richest 4% earning £100,000+ pay too much tax.
The State Pension needs to be means tested.
We should get rid of the NHS.
The retirement age is too low.

If you hate yourself, vote Farage.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit.

British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit.

Trumpian math: “Every one of those boats kills 25,000 Americans,” he tells 60 Minutes. Nine boats in the Caribbean so far since mid-September. That adds up to 225,000 dead Americans. CDC: 76,000 people died of drug overdoses in the most recent 12-month period. 🤔
