This is a really important step in the right direction - better stick pay keeps people healthier (as they are less likely to try to work while sick) and also in employment

Buckingham Palace worth £2,000,000,000
Pays only £1,824 Council Tax.

I bet you pay more than that, and it shows you how Council Tax is rigged so the richest actually pay less than everyone else.

Time to stop calling it a negotiation.

This is two autocrats, looking to leverage as much as they can from a sovereign country, lying about Ukraine, posturing without Ukraine.

Despite endless stories that suggest the opposite, unemployment has stayed steady - & historically low at 4.4%

The panic about too many people & too many of them being on benefits is misplaced.

The problem is the wealth we all create goes only to the rich #r4today

The Israeli govt is now talking about the "forced deportation" of the Palestinian population in Gaza

What will it take for mainstream UK journalists to stop talking about relocation, resettlement, depopulation & eviction, and start calling it what it is. Ethnic cleansing

Fair play to Labour, tremendous achievement. They've managed in 8 months to get to the same polling position it took the Tories 14 years to get to. Incompetent, nasty, free loading liars who still haven't got a clue. Their failure is enabling Farage and Tories.
Government approval has fallen to just 14%, Labour's lowest to date, and similar to the 15% who approved of the Conservative government in our last poll before the 2024 election

Approve: 14% (-2 from 8-10 Feb)
Disapprove: 68% (+4)
Net: -54 (-6)

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

@premthakker.bsky.social on how the bizarre Miami shooting underscores the way in which Palestinians are dehumanized & violently attacked here in the US:
Jewish Man Allegedly Shot Two Israelis He Thought Were Palestinian in Confused Hate Crime Where Both Victim and Culprit Blamed Arabs
The shooting only underscores the vastly different ways US institutions have responded to reports of antisemitism versus anti-Palestinian or anti-Arab hate.

Scrap austerity – tax the super-rich instead.

Britain can’t rebuild with more cuts – a wealth tax on the richest is the fair alternative to funding public services and growth.
