The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

Tomorrow the largest workers union in Norway, LO, has called their members out for a political strike against the Norwegian Oil Fund's continued investments in Israel and in support of Palestine.
Other workers unions will join in too.
Well done all who join the strike.

23,000 people died because Boris Johnson was too busy walking a dog, riding a motorbike and hosting guests as he took four days off at Chevening, instead of addressing warning signs of the pandemic
Why isn't Boris Johnson in jail?

Nathan Gill gets 10 years (rightly).
Surely also worth investigating:
25% of British MPs funded by pro-'israel' lobby
£1M+ poured into Parliament
240+ fully-funded trips for MPs to Israel
80% of Tory MPs are members of Conservative Friends of 'israel' (CFI). LFI won't even say how many.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

This is money that should be used to help the NHS and care system, not a private company's bank account.
Private companies operating care services in just three regions of England made £250m profits in 3 years,
£87.7m of profits went to care providers owned by private equity controlled from tax havens.
Profits mean money buys less. Higher taxes for less service.
Say NO to privatisation.

There is an institutional bias within the BBC…but it isn’t against Trump, or indeed any right wing politician or party.
We all know it’s quite the opposite…remind me again how many times has Farage been on question Time?
Not to mention their utter inability to criticise Israel.
Pathetic.
