Israel plans to take over Gaza City. Starmer says their plan is wrong & they must rethink it, but the UK is still supporting Israel with arms sales, training, RAF surveillance flights & more. Sign the petition: tell Keir he MUST end this support: 38d.gs/hwpb?utm_cam...

People have forgotten because it was so long ago but the 1880's-1930's were crippled by mass strikes, workers walkouts and even full scale revolutions.

Only because of these were your Rights, which are now being destroyed, won.

16% of UK adults have no savings. 39% have less than £1,000.

Can't build economy on that.

Work doesn't pay enough. 37% of universal credit claimants are in work.

Neoliberals push wage/benefit cuts.

1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined.

Must redistribute.

Italy court sends 11 executives at a chemical plant to jail terms of up to 17 years for polluting water, a total of more than 141 years.

Puts UK to shame.

UK buries corporate crimes - water, Post Office, Grenfell, infected blood, bank frauds.

Govts/Regulators serve corporations, not people.
Italy chemical plant execs jailed for pollution
An Italian court on Thursday sentenced executives at a chemical plant to jail terms of up to 17 years for polluting water used by hundreds of thousands of people with PFAS, or "forever chemicals".

111 BBC staff have signed a letter to their bosses saying "The BBC is often performing PR for Israel." and it is unacceptable.

Why is this allowed?

The BBC Board should be fired today.

Corporate Welfare

2012-2027: £11bn subsidy for Drax, produces electricity by burning trees at double the price from gas.

2024 operating profit £1.06bn £869m subsidy.

£97m dividend paid; £300m share buyback.

Will get free money until 2031. No means testing.

Contrast with welfare of people.

Reeves expected to freeze income tax thresholds to raise funds after welfare U-turn. Why blame the poor?

Govt has numerous choices:
Tax capital gains, dividends at the same rate as wages
Reduce pension tax relief to the ultra rich
Increase NIC for ultra-rich.
Wealth tax
FTT
Cut corporate welfare

What is really holding back incomes in the UK? youtu.be/ni6jFvWlrec?... The Resolution Foundation says UK incomes will flatline until 2030. This isn’t an accident—it’s by design. High interest rates, unfair taxes, and Labour's inaction are crushing incomes and deepening inequality. We need change.

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza.

Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians.

Stop arming genocide, now.

Ignorant vandalism. This isn't 'sticking it to Elon', this is damaging the property of an innocent third party. It's an older model likely purchased before Elon went rogue.
