Laws bent for the rich. Wages taxed at marginal rates of 20% – 45% plus national insurance contributions (NIC). Capital gains taxed at 18% to 32%, no NIC . Dividends taxed at 8.75% to 39.35%, no NIC. Return on wealth must not be taxed at lower rates.

Nothing will change until the political system is freed from the clutches of corporations and the super-rich
The law is being used to enforce existing power structures for the benefit of the few

The part of Mamdani's speech that I found most exciting was "you dismantle the conditions that allowed him to gain power. That's how we stop Trump — and the next one." We need popular political figures to point out that Trump is not an anomaly and there are plenty more to take his place.

Tony Blair’s catastrophic decision to invade Iraq cost thousands upon thousands of lives. He shouldn’t be anywhere near the Middle East, let alone Gaza. It is not up to Blair, Trump or Netanyahu to decide the future of Gaza. That is up to the people of Palestine.
