London developers to build fewer affordable homes, but get higher subsidies to build them.

Why build unaffordable homes?

Why subsidies for highly profitable companies? Subsidies will be swallowed by companies, won't filter down to people.

Let councils build affordable homes.

Instead, the redevelopment of the former steelworks on the south bank of the Tees became an unlawful, taxpayer-funded scheme to promote a Tory golden boy & enrich a couple of local businessmen - all hidden in a web of deception.

🔴Russell Jones's Week Moment: The Ghost of Margaret Thatcher Haunts Us All

“The problem with socialism,” Thatcher once said, “is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” The problem with Thatcherism is that it’s run out of ours, argues @russincheshire.bsky.social

In this video, I explain why your taxes do not fund government spending, how government money is actually created, and why the taxpayer's money myth exists to serve an agenda of austerity.

We now have 300,000 people signed up and the establishment is clearly frightened.

Westminster is broken, but the real crisis is inequality: just fifty families now own more wealth than half the population.

Let’s change that together.

That would not happen if workers voted on CEO pay.

Corporations are private fiefdoms.

Members still approved it, probably by erroneously handing proxy votes to chairman.

Let's keep it simple:

Do we need doctors? Yes

Is this a job any of us can do? No

Is it a highly skilled job requiring rigorous training? Yes

Should we pay doctors fairly? Yes

Should we also pay other workers fairly? Hell yes.

It's not a race to the bottom.

They are an anti-union party.

This is why 300,000 have joined the new Your party led by Corbyn and Zarah in 24 hours.

This is why Green party membership is rocketing.
