Rich owners/editors of FT call for cut to the state pension. Silence on corporate welfare, tax perks of the rich. State pension is less than 50% of the minimum wage. 2m pensioners in poverty. 110,000 a year die in fuel poverty. Low pension today = low pension for future retirees archive.ph/UZ9rn

Like a medieval king, Farage threatens judges, civil servants, parliament to obey him or else. Will declare a state of emergency, make MPs sit 24 hours a day for six days a week until he gets his way. Already committed to withdraw human rights, equality, employment rights laws, and more.

Thames Water claims it is going bankrupt, again, with £20bn in debts. So it needs bailing out, again, so it can hike its bills by 40% in April, again. Don't, let them go bankrupt. As soon as they do it all becomes Government property with no debts. Nationalisation for free.
