💰£5.6 Million. That's what @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social has paid Job & Talent to break the bins strike. And now it seems they may be colluding to blacklist agency workers. Shame! 😡

#EnergyBills have shot up by 42% since 2021, leaving households struggling to get by. Meanwhile foreign countries and the world’s richest individuals are feasting on huge energy #profits 😳
In fact, £500 from every household's bill goes as energy profits every year 📈

💰 “Households are being fleeced pure & simple. Energy bills up by 42% since 2021, whilst energy companies made £30bn profit in just 1 yr. The govt is turning a blind eye to these excessive profits. That must change. Everyday people cannot continue to pay” @unitesharon.bsky.social

😡 "It's absolutely terrible in our streets. Rubbish is piling up." Lindsey asks Shabana Mahmood MP why has this strike gone on so long? Time to sort the mess out & come up with a decent deal for the bin workers - so they don't lose £8k. Local councillors and MPs aren't losing £8k are they?

Workers pay more than their fair share in a rigged system. A wealth tax would make sure the rich contribute, funding schools, healthcare & public services instead of hoarding wealth 💰
