Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

The world is not X or Spectator parties. Reform and Tory politicians seem to think brazen racism is their meal ticket. In a country that’s far more tolerant and decent than they are, that needs to be an election-losing strategy. It’s up to us to make sure of it. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-racism...
The Racism
Premium
Far from being a disadvantage, hostility to people from different races and cultures has now become an active requirement for career advancement on the right of British politics
ADAM BIENKOVFor these reasons I still believe that if both Reform and the Conservatives go into the next general election as parties in complete opposition to the modern, diverse face of Britain as we know it, then it is an election they are likely to lose.

While racism and hate crime is on the rise, Britain is still not a majority racist country and there is an electoral disadvantage to portraying your political party as being on the wrong side of that divide.
The fact that seven out of ten ethnic minority voters and a plurality of voters overall, see Reform as being a 'racist party' demonstrates the gap between how things are seen in Westminster and how these

Farage is due to make a speech today about his new economic policy.. (having been laughed out of the room with his last one)… Let’s just take a quick look at his ideological track record… And then put all his ideas straight into the shredder. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

'The money machine is misfiring': City blames Brexit for UK's £20Bn productivity headache
Poor output since the leave vote has landed Rachel Reeves with a bigger-than-forecast budget spending gapHowever, experts say it is increasingly clear that Brexit has played a significant role, exacerbating the post-2008 slump by hitting sectors with EU ties, and as the political turmoil led businesses to put investments on ice.
Erecting tougher trade barriers with the UK's largest partner is expected to cut Britain's long-term productivity by about 4% relative to a remain scenario. The OBR could update this estimate at the 26 November budget.
Business investment has flatlined since the Brexit referendum

"By a whopping two-to-one margin, voters now favor the pre-Brexit immigration system to the one that has taken shape since leaving the EU." Even among Reform UK voters, more wish they could go back to pre-2021 migration rules! ~AA www.politico.eu/article/labo...

Brits are pining for the pre-Brexit migration system
The idea was that leaving the bloc would give the U.K. back “control” of its borders and create a fairer system. But the widespread perception is it didn’t turn out that way.

Always be wary of politicians insisting that the only way to truly “take back control” is to remove our rights and freedoms. We lose our protection from abuses of power while our country loses trust and influence on the world stage. That’s not control. It’s weakness. www.bbc.com/news/article...
