Radical idea on how to save the government lots of money & it's easy as 1, 2, 3:
1. Make employers pay proper wages & end the last 30 years of deliberate wage stagnation.
2. Stop landlord, energy company & supermarket profiteering.
3. Bang! People don't need government benefits any more.

Oligarchy (noun):
A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

At this juncture I’d like to point out:

* there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world
* a united approach could stop the climate crisis
But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

Will the media finally do their job & ask No.10 who blocked the arrest warrant for Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar during his UK visit?
It’s astonishing the PM insists he had no role in blocking a warrant for an unindicted war criminal.
So who’s lying? Because someone is.
