Prem Sikka: A boost in the minimum wage is welcome, but more must be done to improve people’s material conditions
'Despite the increase, the minimum wage will still be comparatively low, and millions will live below the minimum acceptable standard of living.'

It’s clear that the brainless estate agent Trump picked as his special envoy is a Russian asset - why else would he speak to Tucker Carlson, the Kremlin’s number one useful idiot? Don’t be surprised if US defence contractors end up supplying Russia under the deal he fixes

Reform UK is just another Far Right party screaming "Bring out your racists."
And the racists vote for them thinking things will get better, or at least whiter.
But of course all they want is power, and lots and lots of money.

Britain is knee deep in an information war. Young men radicalised at shocking rates, conspiracy trumping facts, swathes willingly participating in subterfuge that goes against their interests. The usual fake patriots at the helm. Our system, lacking checks and balances, exploited.
