When people imagine “heaven”, they describe a lush paradise, clear waters, an abundance of food & drink, no class system, no child going hungry, no one sleeping in the cold. No war, no want, no needless suffering. Every person has enough Talk about that for the living and you’re “radical left scum”

You heard that right, Billionaire wealth has more than DOUBLED since 2016. The UK has the cash it needs to invest in our future, restore the NHS & look after those too sick to work. What we can't afford is to let Billionaire's keep hoarding wealth.
