FUN FACT: The top 50 richest families in the UK now hold more wealth than the poorest HALF of the population.

Keir Starmer should stop targeting immigrants and introduce a wealth tax on the 1%.

Dan another lesson for Starmer: you don’t beat the far right by wearing their clothes, you beat it by showing how bad they are and how different you are.

Well done!
Early on Monday morning, dozens of my neighbours in Falmouth gathered to protect three beautiful street trees from contractors with chainsaws. Amazingly, we saved them (for now at least).

Big up the treehuggers & the bat-lovers! Lazy terms of abuse that should be badges of pride.
For the avoidance of doubt ...

Starmer's changed Labour Party is cosying up to despots, that's how desperate and capital-hungry the UK has become.

The UK's anti-protest laws pre-legitimise far right authoritarianism. Labour must repeal them now.

This fact packed analysis of our economy by Prem Sikka cuts through the narrow political debate that’s taking place at the moment & provides a truly informative argument for resetting the government’s approach. leftfootforward.org/2025/01/labo...
Labour hasn’t delivered growth or happiness. It needs an economic reset.
Successive governments have tailored economic and tax policies to impoverish the masses

Happy birthday & best wishes in retirement to the legend that is Mick Lynch!

As @rmtunion.bsky.social General Secretary, he’s been bold, principled & inspiring — a true champion for his members & the working class.

Mick’s leadership strengthened the union movement & he’ll be sorely missed.

To stop Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, we need to see widespread sanctions and an end to all arms exports.

The Government has imposed widespread sanctions on Russia for its war crimes. In Parliament I called on it to do the same for Israel's war crimes.

Just like Brexit, the inherent contradictions of MAGA shine on through.

Whether Reform UK, MAGA or any extreme party of capital, anti immigrant sentiment will be ditched if profitability threatened.
