I hate what the Conservatives have done to this Country and will never forget or forgive. Yes to animal welfare and people who care. Together we need to make this world a better place. Give Labour a chance.

Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train.

But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK.

Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.

"There are an estimated 2.9m people in England with malnutrition.

Hospital admissions resulting in nutrition-related diagnoses in England increased by more than 39% over the past decade. Malnourished children are being treated for scurvy, bow legs, rickets and heart murmurs."
Who can afford longevity in a cost-of-living crisis?
We all need a healthy diet. So why are politicians normalising food banks and allowing malnutrition and associated illnesses to rise?

BREAKING:

“Policies were reformed deliberately to liberalise immigration. Brexit was used for that purpose, to turn Britain into a one nation experiment in open borders”

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of £5k - later reduced to £3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

- 40% of farms bought by investors.
- A farming couple can pass on up to £3 million tax free
- Only asset value > £3 million would be subject to inheritance tax at 20% (half the usual 40% on other assets)
- Tax can be paid interest free in 10 years.
