@andyburnham.bsky.social please target the super rich for the money you need for adult social care. And whilst you're 'ripping off the plaster' please can you tackle Council Tax. I'm a social housing tenant. I don't own my home. I shouldn't pay as much as homeowners

🤔 The Labour conference has been a mixed bag. Some good stuff has been announced but the infuriating blind spot regarding the super-rich continues. For the Labour leadership it's like they don't exist and, therefore, the case for taxing them properly is simply absent and beyond debate. #TaxTheRich

USA minimum wage $7.25 per hour & AVERAGE restaurant BURGER (no side or drink) = $14 Assuming an 8 hour workday: the worker has to work 25% of his day for PART (not even all) of his lunch. I'd call that SLAVERY.

Training? What kind of training goes into this? You ambushed a man without identifying yourself, violently body-slammed him to the ground, and injured his skull and teeth. And the moment you realized you had made a catastrophic mistake, you fled the scene like a criminal.
