Meanwhile that same rent reduction would save renters £2400 per year and govt £2bn per year in housing benefit spend. It's hard to think of any other policy that could deliver such meaningful relief for households most at risk in the current cost of living crisis, whilst SAVING THE GOVT MONEY!

Why did Eric Schmitt fuck up his gotcha moment so badly? No one involved considered the possibility that Jack Smith attended a women’s basketball game. A MAGAt undone by misogyny. Not at all surprising.

Barghouti: "Its the moment of the death of the 2 state solution, because the intl community allowed Israel to be impunitive.. & failed to apply intl law.. did not impose sanctions on Israel.. western govts are not only allowing Israel to commit crimes, they supported the crimes"

People spend their lives living off poverty wages, are unable to pay for ‘Private’ pension provision, and are then left living a life of poverty in retirement!! That doesn’t sound like a fair way of doing things to me!!

Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.

As a side note to this: The best thing that Andy Burnham’s Labour Party can do right now is reach out to both Ed Davey and Zack Polanski. Whether he needs them for a coalition after the next GE or not, now is the time to get both the Lib Dems and Greens on board - especially around care.

Keeping in mind that the American Government has a somewhat unfortunate tendency to lie, deceive and distort, I’m not sure this is the win that Jenrick thinks it is. Also, Fairford. Imaging having an immigrant have to correct you on your spelling.

This Labour government are completely unable to look outside their neoliberal ideological box, for solutions! Why are poor pensioners being asked to foot the bill for social care Mr Burnham?? Whilst Billionaires do not pay a fair share of tax, to support our society’s most vulnerable!!

Today’s speech from the Chancellor shows Labour offering more of the same. We need real action to tackle extreme wealth inequality in this country and make the super-rich pay their fair share.
Headline reads: “It’s time to tackle extreme wealth inequality.”
Quote from Ellie Chowns, MP for North Herefordshire:
“The Chancellor used his speech today to repeatedly stress a message of new leadership offering new hope, yet when it came to the substance behind the rhetoric, Britain was once again left with more of the same.
“He made no mention of the extraordinary wealth inequality holding our country back, nor did he state any ambitions for fair taxation of wealth.
“A government serious about fixing our economy cannot afford to look the other way while the uber-rich accumulate ever-more wealth and dodge paying their fair share.”

Then we might have a chance of policy-making that reflects the public interest, of the dog wagging the tail, of discussion and argument leading to better outcomes, rather than being used as a distraction from the real nature of power. Thank you.

The Government is planning to scale back NHS recruitment and replace vital healthcare roles with AI technology to cut costs. This could leave patients facing fewer trained staff, unsafe care, and longer waits. keepournhspublic.com/petition-nhs...

They treat those who seek peace as a threat to the public realm, while throwing a defensive cordon around those engaged in genocide. They treat environmental protesters as if they were antisocial thugs, while the antisocial thugs of the fossil fuel industry get a free pass to trash our lives.

UK Chancellor can easily increase income tax personal allowance by £3,000 a year. It will boost basic rate taxpayers by £600 a year. Millions will be helped. Benefit to higher rate taxpayers can be clawed back. The cost of £30bn can be met by ending bank subsidies, £100bn over the last 3 years.

This is how the Chancellor can increase the personal allowance and lift millions out of hardship
Sustained economic growth can’t be achieved without a major boost to the purchasing power of the bottom 50% of the population

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,
