In which Pakistan born Ben Habib supports some bigot who wants to ban people born in Pakistan from sitting in our parliament.
The increasingly ludicrous Ben Habib Is arguing that Lucy White's attack on Nus Ghani being an MP is not racist

Ben Habib is now ludicrously supporting a call to ban Ben Habib from parliament!

Reform UK Party Ltd spent £700,000 on a 2-page spread — one page being just an image of Farage and the other a letter, meaning he spent £350,000 on pictures of himself.

The average UK house price is £272,000.

Also, the ‘full English’ is badly photoshopped on — it's tiny!

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Some might think the extreme rich have increased their wealth at the expense of the vast majority. 'Cost of living crisis'? Only for some.😬

Ah, the extreme wealthy! The ones that have somehow managed to greatly increase their wealth, over the past 5 yrs. While the masses have gone backwards.

I remain genuinely gobsmacked that this wasn’t picked up more. The Alex Jones who *repeatedly accused grieving parents of making up their children’s murders*.
Anyway, “after the news we’ll be joined by Nigel Farage & definitely won’t be asking him about any of this…”
On US TV shows and podcasts from 2009-18, Farage discussed supposed plots by bankers to create a global government, citing Goldman Sachs, the Bilderberg group and George Soros as threats to democracy. Included six guest slots with the disgraced far-right US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

Be in no doubt that this is a perilous moment. America’s proposal prescribes a deeply insecure future for Ukraine and richly rewards Vladimir Putin’s aggression
Donald Trump’s peace plan would be bad for Ukraine, Europe and America

Example: The largest motor companies, are not Ferrari. Lamborghini etc, but the likez of Ford, VW. Toyota etc. Those that serve the masses.
Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.

This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
