Westminster’s doors are wide open for fossil fuels, finance & defence lobbyists — but slammed shut for ordinary people. That’s why the Budget serves their interests, not ours.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

The curse of Thatcherism was not just greed. It was short-termism disguised as freedom. Privatisation made millionaires from share prices and dividends, while leaving millions in cold, costly poverty. A quarter of every bill now feeds profit, not service.

£130bn profit a year the Energy Companies make.
In 1979 you owned 100% of it, and it all went to you.
Now you own 0%, of the most profitable industry in the whole of the UK.
It wasn't a accident, it was a £4tn theft.

Reform's latest tax 'policy' is a £34bn tax giveaway to a small number of very wealthy foreigners. taxpolicy.org.uk/2025/06/23/b...
The £34bn cost of Reform UK’s “Britannia card” proposal
Reform UK’s Britannia Card would let wealthy foreigners pay £250,000 to avoid UK tax — but would likely cost £34bn and reduce skilled migration.

Shocking but unsurprising to see two Labour MPs in front attempt to shout me down — for standing up for disabled people hit by cuts, kids pushed into poverty by the two-child benefit cap & pensioners who lost winter fuel payments.
