Instead of slashing welfare and disability benefits — forcing more disabled people and children into poverty — the government could introduce a 2% tax on assets over £10 million.
It would raise £24 billion — five times the savings from these cuts.
This is austerity 2.0

Over three million people used food banks last year.
Energy bills continue to rise.
They've cut winter fuel payments & children continue to live in poverty because of Starmers political choices.
No amount of war gaming should distract us from this governments "look over here!"

Israel has chosen to mark the first days of Ramadan by blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Still, our government refuses to implement sanctions and defend international law.
There is no other way of putting it: this is a resumption of genocide — and our government is complicit.

What the government can’t afford:
❌Lifting children out of poverty
❌Disability benefits
❌Compensation for WASPI women
❌Winter fuel allowance
What the government can afford: an extra £13.4 billion on the military.
Never any money for the poor. Always enough money for war.

The government was right to welcome Ukrainian refugees fleeing war.
There is only one reason that people in Gaza, displaced by a genocide that our government abetted, are treated differently.
That reason is anti-Palestinian racism.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.
Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt.
While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of £10tn.
That's how privatisation 'works'.
