Disgraced former NYC mayor Eric Adams is in Israel, where he tells reporters:

“I wanted to come back here to Israel and let you know that I served you as the mayor...”

Why would a mayor of an American city serve a foreign country??!?

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

How can United Utilities possibly justify a 35% rise in wastewater disposal charges this year?

Looked at my bills from two years ago - usage charges up 37% and wastewater up 52% and that's not even including standing charges.

The good news is there IS a party for everyone on the left. #Greens

All those private healthcare donors watching Wes cash in on their investment.

"No money left" is a political fiction used to protect the super rich from fair taxes.

Rather than take different political choices, Health Secretary is acting like an influencer for privatisation.

Absolutely, 100% SPOT ON!!!!! #Zack gets it!

We've been allowing the establishment parties have their own way for too long. They only care for the wealthy.

The fightback begins now.

Join the #Greens, vote for @zackpolanski.bsky.social as leader & watch him ruffle their feathers!!

HMRC admits not collecting £40bn tax last yr. Others say over £100bn.

Big accounting/law firms, banks mastermind tax dodges. Rarely prosecuted.

No big accounting firm prosecuted; get govt contracts.

Fewer than FIVE criminal cases brought in 2023-2024, 16 in 2018-2019.

Govts chase little people.
Why the UK is a two-tier society where money wields power
Laws and policies are crafted to give the appearance of sternness and fairness, but are rarely fully enforced on corporations and the rich.
