Wealth tax is the best way forward
Left: Keir Starmer, "Nobody felt better off under the last government"

Right: "The UK's rich are getting richer"

This is why so many have called for a wealth tax on those with over £10m, because the rich are getting richer, even under the last Conservative government

Via Politico: The Times reports that Iain Anderson — the boss of lobbying firm Cicero who quit the Tories to back Labour last year — has been made a non-executive director at the Department for Business and Trade.

Pull your finger out @uklabourparty.bsky.social, grow some balls and stop even more "corruption" destroying what's left of our democracy

This is important.

In meantime, today’s immediate tweaks to social care involve carers taking on NHS responsibilities eg checking blood pressure. But for no extra pay, funding or consideration of an understaffed sector. That small change is really about helping NHS, not social care. Some in sector cry ‘as per usual!’
