UK faces highest inflation in G7 this year and next, IMF warns.

Biggest cause is profiteering led by energy, water and food businesses. No govt checks it.

Real average wage stuck at 2008 level. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. Govts needs to remove cash from the rich.

Labour is telling you VERY LOUDLY who to vote for if you value human rights. And it's definitely NOT LABOUR.
Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

The effect of Donald Trump's largest tax cuts in history.

Only for the richest 10%, everyone else pays more.

Oh and Healthcare, Education and Public Services are completely destroyed too.

😳 As more than 100 backbench Labour MPs prepare to rebel against the Government's cruel welfare cuts, Kemi Badenoch has offered Tory votes to push through the cuts.

Labour and Conservatives teaming up to punish vulnerable people. Who'd have thought it... 🤷

These are just lies. Iran didn’t actually leave the negotiating table. Israel simply bombed Iran and now the US has joined. And the UK just declared that it supports these bombings.

It’s difficult to stress how dangerous this all is, and how reckless Starmer is

MP's are looking at Social Media to see how they should vote on the PIP cuts.

They should vote against them, and they should tax billionaires.

If you agree spread the message so they see.

It’s not too late for the government to change course. Keir Starmer is being advised to urgently pause the Government's plans to cut disability & health benefits by Parliament's work & pensions committee who say they should not go ahead without a comprehensive impact assessment

Contact your MP, NOW
I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the government to rethink its cruel, shameful & completely irresponsible plan to cut benefits which will plunge 250,000 people, including 50,000 children into poverty - on its own impact analysis

This is how you can help

When Royal Mail was sold off we were told that this was to protect letter deliveries.

Ofcom is now consulting on cutting letter deliveries from 6 to 3 days a week.

When will they admit privatisation has failed?

He is wanted by the ICC. While he visits, Hungary must arrest Netanyahu.

Why is it that "tough choices" are always about harming the poor and disabled, and never about making the very wealthiest pay their fair share?

The same Thatcher who privatised water companies in 1989, saying there'd be lower bills, better service & more investment? BUT it actually led to HIGHER bills, DREADFUL service, & HUGE lack of investment. Also SEWAGE in rivers & seas, KILLING fish&wildlife.
That effing Thatcher?
@SkyNews: 50 years ago, Margaret Thatcher became leader of the Conservative Party and in 1979, she became the first female UK Prime Minister.

Yet more performative cruelty. This means someone who fled for their life 25 yrs ago, got refugee status in the UK, and has been part of their community here ever since - maybe married, had kids, started a business - can never be a citizen. That’s not right.

Why do the people who work here and get a good wage, often for doing almost nothing, think that it is ok to claim outrageous benefits, and then demonise people claiming far less who actually need them to survive?
