It's probably past time to expect any mainstream media to call out this crazy ass shit.
We need to keep sharing it to make sure it's being seen.

Decades of depressing the minimum wage.

Yet, average Americans went along with it?

Why aren’t WE telling THEM, what We want?

After all, WE ARE PAYING THE TAXES.

They aren’t.

Stop the Con.

Stop the exploitation.

All of this goes away when 👇🏾

Is anybody out there thinking of voting for reform in Wales? If so this piece by Will Hayward is a must. Interesting reading in any case!

If ReformUK get into government next time then we can kiss goodbye to:

Paid holidays

Sick pay

Safer working conditions

Human Rights

Workers Rights

Unions

NHS & healthcare

Social care

Minimum wage

Among many other things.

Every person who knows a Reformer should have the conversation!.

Good morning.

Gonna have a pop at multi-millionaire Dicky Tice this morning.

The same Dicky Tice that hates foreigners in our country, hates muslims, is an MP for Boston & Skegness but lives in Dubai under SHARIA LAW!

Having a pop at children wearing ear defenders because he's a class 1 knobhead.

Along with sensationalist tabloid stories, #BBCRadio4 news bulletins obsess with claims that #RachelReeves lied about the state of UK economy. No reminders that #Tories lost the nation billions. Left wing bias? Hardly! Dumbing down? Yes. Too much vox pop too - populist opinions of the ill-informed.

Reform UK went into Durham Council promising to find huge savings. They have managed to GROW the authority's deficit by over £11m *in the last two months*.

Grimes recommends “serious consideration” to increasing council tax “by the maximum 5%.” ~AA

Trump’s recent decision to deny disaster aid to two electric utilities in rural northern Michigan could cost local residents tens of millions of dollars. It will hit a working-class region that voted overwhelmingly for Trump last year, helping him win the crucial swing state.
