The IMF calls cutting pensions and welfare "savings". Funny word for taking money off pensioners. Tax doesn't fund spending. The Treasury isn't short of a pot. Tax banks to curb their power if you like. Cutting incomes just shrinks demand. #MMT #UKGreenParty #Economics #UKPolitics #UKEconomics

Target pensions or welfare, not banks, IMF tells John Healey | Banking | The Guardian
Supporters of planned tax, however, say banks were bailed out by taxpayers during the financial crisis and can afford to pay more now

Comparison with European monarchies is not always straight forward but the UK royal family seems to receive generous public funding, £99.9m. It is around £42m in Norway £52m in the Netherlands £18m in Denmark £13.5m in Sweden £7.1m in Spain Zero in Liechtenstein Good value for money, or not?

Royal financial privileges show that we are not in it together
This week, after perfunctory scrutiny, the UK parliament approved a core Sovereign Grant of £99.9m (from 2027/28) for the King, a 93% increase from the £51.8m for 2024/25 and 65% higher in real terms ...

What happened starting in 1980? Mass Privatisation. So instead of your wages being decided by what your Government could afford and what you earned, you are paid as little as possible to maximise profit.

Elites aren't stupid, they've just gotten very used to public passivity. They think the public are inherently passive (it is TBF all the elites have known) and not a result of welfare systems and public services they despise. So they think they can get rid of that stuff and keep the passivity.

That’s how British democracy works, I’m afraid: everybody lies about the incoming government’s intentions and they all unite to try and force the big cuts through. And if they’re unworkably unpopular, that’s no problem: just get a new figurehead then come back after a year of relentless propaganda.

Huge benefit cuts are so intensely unpopular that this government hid their plan to make scything cuts until they’d won the election. They may have cost the last PM his job. But the main parties, the press and military all agree: fuck you, we’re slashing benefits to buy missiles.

A majority of the 635 children held in Israeli prisons in 2025 were put in solitary confinement, usually for between one and two weeks – some up to eight times. 92 per cent had not been sentenced. A third had not even been charged. The world's highest court says Israel is an apartheid state.

It doesn’t matter if branding the left ‘racist’ is fash fantasy, the uncritical thinkers nod and clap anyway. They can’t be reasoned with, they’ve accepted the cults absurdity as their truth and no amount of rational explanation will sway their beliefs. Gaslit, brainwashed, and owned by the right.
