The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

A protester was struck over the head with a walking stick at Reform UK’s conference. Lee Anderson joked about a “quick whip-round” for the man whose stick was damaged. The bigger issue is what political leaders legitimise when they laugh at violence against protesters.

BBC’s coverage of Reform’s welfare plans is frankly bizarre. Headlines in Ten, leading on some radio networks. Reform are not even the official opposition and the plans have less credibility than Count Binface. Will BBC News do the same for Lib Dem and Greens policy two years out from an election?

Yet more distractions from HOW REFORM MPs VOTE in Parliament. Look at how they vote, not what they say:
•Reform MPs voted against scrapping exploitative zero hour contracts
•Reform MPs voted against banning immoral "fire and rehire" practices
•Reform MPs voted against day one sick pay for workers
•Reform MPs voted against increased legal protections for workplace whistleblowers
•Reform MPs voted against strengthening protections against unfair dismissal of workers
•Nigel Farage and Reform are planning a grand bonfire of workers' rights if they get into power (they're calling it the "Great Repeal Act")
•Nigel Farage and Reform are planning to eliminate equalities legislation that protects workers from agism, sexism, homophobia, disability discrimination, racism, religious discrimination, etc
•Nigel Farage and Reform are almost entirely bankrolled by billionaires, and have already demonstrated their intention to rewrite UK tax law and economic policy in favour of their mega-rich donors
•Nigel Farage and Reform say the Minimum Wage is too high for young
