In the last hour Israel have started dropping bombs on the few surviving buildings in Gaza, in their final steps to ethnically cleanse the whole of Gaza. All during a supposed Ceasefire.

This man has achieved more in a year outside of parliament than a lot of politicians do in a lifetime. He's rightly taking this moment to thank everyone that tirelessly supported the campaign, but let's put some respect on his name too: big up, Zacky P! We're proud of you x

Hope is my favourite form of rebellion. Today, I hoped I'd make it to the park. And I did! It might not sound like much, but after everything my body has been through, this was a breakthrough!

Palestinian Lubna Speitan has had 56 of her relatives murdered by the Genocidal Israel in Gaza. She called Zionism Racist, it's far worse than that, now Caroline Lucas is calling for her to be banned from the Green Party. Disgusting.

UK water companies made £340m by pouring billions of litres of industrial/commercial wastewater into sewage treatment works. Treatment works are not designed to remove most chemicals, leaving pollutants to pass into rivers, seas and farmland. Investment neglected. Practices are mostly unregulated.

Tory £6bn inheritance tax cut plan Increase threshold from £1m per couple to £2m+home. In 2024-25, 30,400 estates paid IHT, may rise to 52,100 in 2029-30. IHT cut for the richest, paid by cutting benefits for old, sick, disabled, unemployed. How will it help economic growth, reindustrialization?

Dermatologist recommended minor surgery for a non-urgent biopsy today. I braced myself for the 16-18 week wait that’s been widely discussed and she said “Can you wait 20 minutes? We have an opening at 11:30”. They got me in at 11:25 and I was all done by 12:15. Support & celebrate your NHS!

What about going after tax avoiders? Every year, HMRC, by its own estimates, fails to collect 46.8 billion of tax. See webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/202606... How about hiring more people to retrieve this avoided tax before suggesting cutting welfare to the poorest and most vulnerable?

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

Only 10% of the richest 0.01% of the population paid close to the top 47% (45% income tax marginal rate + 2% NIC) rate on earnings. A quarter of that group paid an effective average tax rate of 20% or less. The tax system appears to be progressive for some but is frequently not so at the very top

Liz Truss doesn't know the difference between the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea. She knocked £425bn off the value of pension fund assets. She thinks Tony Blair set up the Bank of England. And major companies pay her £80,000 a speech for her insights on politics and economics.
