George Monbiot explains why the UK should rejoin the EU, "There's a reason why Russia tried to intervene in the Brexit vote, they knew that it would harm the UK and the EU if we left" "They were very clear about that and boy have they been proved right"

Rich owners/editors of FT call for cut to the state pension. Silence on corporate welfare, tax perks of the rich. State pension is less than 50% of the minimum wage. 2m pensioners in poverty. 110,000 a year die in fuel poverty. Low pension today = low pension for future retirees archive.ph/UZ9rn

Those calling for state pension cut are silent on their tax perks. Gross tax relief on pension contributions £83.9bn. 14% went to 1.1m additional rate tax payers. 57% to 6.6m higher rate (40%) payers. 29% went to 30.4m basic rate (20%) payers. Equalizing it at 20% for all leaves £14.5bn spare.

My partner and I watched a showing of the National Emergency Briefing last night here in Bristol. Wherever you are, that's a good place to start. Then tell your MP to ensure this is shown and promoted on prime time TV and in our schools and workplaces. The time is here and the place is now.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell. Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass. That, right there, is the problem.

So, the reason Reform is now the popular populist party of the right wing is that it represents the same callous cruelty and anachronistic nationalism, minus the historical elitism, despite being funded by the same elites. Clever bastards. Clever, but still bastards.

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.
