Clive Lewis: "I will not vote to make my poorest constituents poorer... you don't balance the books on broken backs"

Clive is right, we're on the road to fascism, and the politics of this Labour govt are helping to pave the way.

Another wee plug for this as we get closer to the weekend.
On Sunday 23rd March, fascists are intending to gather once again in Belfast City Centre to try and make victims of our migrant communities and wave some flags around.

There will be a rally at 1pm to show them the true cross-community movement in Belfast stands against racism.
No Pasaran!

Can't beat a good March on International Women's Day in the sun too.

Belfast at its best. #IWD

Inheritance tax was paid on just over 4% of estates last year.

I won’t have to pay it on my estate.

Odds are the overwhelming majority of people reading this won’t pay it.

I tell you who will though.

Rupert Lowe, his mate Nigel, Richard Tice & the rest.

Self interest much?

Thread: I’ve spent today railing about online performative fascist ‘resistance’ by anonymous accounts & memes. I’ve already explained how this is self-defeating.

Let me show what REAL resistance looks like. Please read the thread, before reacting. It’s not just America at stake, it’s the West.

A Christmas tradition in my house is to get a duck, follow Ken Homs Peking duck recipe and have it hanging for two days. Once done watch with Elf on Xmas Eve and then wrap pressies.

Nollaig Shona!

Kneecap at the SSE... My child's first gig, and what a gig it was.

I found myself whistling H-double-O-D on the way to collect my Christmas meats this morning.

Interesting article about how Musk and co are going to shrink the public sector workforce in America.

As someone working in a company trying to do the same I am seeing this first hand. Make the place as unattractive to work for as possible and watch them leave.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy proposed the elimination of remote work for federal employees, deeming it a residual "privilege" from the pandemic.

Czech Billionaire Daniel Křetínský is taking over Royal Mail for £3.5bn.

His first step is to halve mail deliveries which will save £300m by getting rid of staff.

Prices will go up, employee's down, services down.

And every penny in profit goes to his tax haven accounts.

I hate the cold... and I especially hate waiting nearly an hour for a bus in the cold.

My first post on this site...

Such a great tune. Walking home in the freezing cold listening to this - you can almost feel the warmth of the gigs talked about coming through.

Give it a wee listen, it'll do you good

If you're wondering why the media is on the side of the land owners who don't want to pay their taxes, it's because protesting is only bad when poor people do it x
