Shadow chancellor vows to cut tax in every Tory budget As always, it would be tax cuts for the rich. No mention of corporate welfare, equitable distribution of income/wealth. We haven't recovered from previous Tory follies. NHS queues, potholed road, crumbling schools. What will they cut next?

UK public sector bodies spent £17bn with offshore-owned private equity firms last year. The same vultures received £31bn public sector contracts. Profiteering, low wages, tax dodging, asset-stripping is their business model. Enriched by public money. How many have politicians on payroll?

The reality of Britain’s food poverty crisis: ‘Everything is so expensive, I only eat one meal a day’. 14m people face food insecurity. High rents, water, energy, food prices & low incomes create a crisis. No curbs on profiteering 50 families have more wealth than 34m people. Must redistribute.

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.
