This is what a rigged economy looks like:
In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.
In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.
This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.
That has got to change.

THIS SHOULD BE CANCELLED.
There's no money in the kitty.
The Royal Family's Sovereign Grant, which covers their official expenses, is set to increase by £45 million to £132 million in April 2025.

Ahead of speculation that they will cut the value of health-related UC, it's vital to note that the UK already pays less than many other countries.
If they closed the gap with UB evenly, the UK would be one of the least generous countries to low-earning severely disabled people.

There needs to be a citizens legal challenge against @thameswater. For the last 30+ years bills have included infrastructure spending (overseen by corrupt @Ofwat ). The customer is footing the bill again, not the shareholders this is criminal, and the government is complicit

Incapacity benefit is just £62.85 per week for those under retirement age and £77.70 for those over it.
The attendance allowance for the Lords is up to £361 *per day*.
Which is unsustainable?

Hear the sirens.
If the warfare state replaces the welfare state, this will further fuel the extreme right. More countries falling in the hands of extreme right nationalists would weaken Europe in an existential way.

Surveillance state. Happens in every dictatorship
Last night Trump hailed “ the end of the tyranny of DEI.” You might be interested to see this email - in full below - which asks colleagues in federal government to spy on and report each other. End of Tyranny ? Beginning of surveillance?
“Personnel who fail to comply with this directive, including by conducting DEI work under a new name or guise in the performance of their job duties, may be subject to counseling or discipline on the basis of insubordination, as applicable. Personnel aware of a change in any contract description or personnel position description since November 5, 2024 to obscure the connection between the contract or position and DEI or similar ideologies should report all facts and circumstances to their SBO or COM, as applicable, and [email protected] within 10 days. There will be no adverse consequences for timely reporting this information. However, failure to report this information within 10 days may result in adverse consequences.”

There’s something pretty distasteful about a President of the United States saying “the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of.”
The celebration of ignorance.

Furthermore, 3 of the 5 (60%) Reform UK MPs are employed by Paul Marshall and Legatum on GB "News", who along with many presenters and guests, use the explicitly politically partisan platform as a permanent Party Political Broadcast on behalf of Reform UK.

Reform UK (whose voters tend to get their info from Reform MPs & GB "News", which employs 60% of Reform's MPs) are on 24%.
Also: 24% of Brits think Rudakubana is a Muslim (false); 23% believe his motives were religious (false); & 21% believe he's an immigrant (false).

You scumbag. Hundreds of British soldiers have died over the last two decades supporting your country in your wars. Your utter disrespect, dismissal, and disregard for their sacrifice because it doesn’t suit your present narrative is sickening.
not fit to referee ever again
🚨 Referee Michael Oliver will not be involved in any Premier League games this weekend - a week on from initially missing the straight red card for Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts which left Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta requiring 25 stitches.

So Kemi Badenoch, who last week delivered a speech accusing young people of being unpatriotic, and unwilling to fight for their country, has today defended a foreign leader who labelled Britain a "random country" that hasn't fought a war in decades
She's traitor to the UK
Badenoch: "JD Vance is great, so what if he has contempt for us? America is our best mate, and you all need to chill out." teapaw.org/BestForBritain/status/…
