There are 35 million ‘workers’ in Britain. Reform and the Tories consistently vote against workers rights legislation. Reform and the Tories have promised future polices that will further erode workers rights. Any worker who votes Reform or Tory is literally voting against their own interests.

"Pensions and social care are not unaffordable. They are unfunded by choice." Westminster issues the pound. Promising adequacy while pleading poverty is the oldest trick going. The real limit is carers, nurses and buildings, not cash. #MMT

Baroness Hazarika: "Burnham is evoking a Clement Attlee post war lets build something like the NHS" After 5 years of war Attlee nationalised around 20% of the entire British economy (as well as founding the NHS & establishing the welfare state). Burnham won't even take water into public ownership

Piers Morgan “Mohammed, do you condemn the Hamas attacks on October the 7th?” Mohammed Hijab “Yes, I do. Do you condemn Israel killing over 1000 kids?” Piers Morgan “I believe Israel has a right to defend themselves” That answer should be on the tombstone of his career.

"France jettisoning neoliberalism" assumes the problem was the ideology, not the constraint. The real shift: treating real resources and employment as the binding limits, not the deficit. That's not post-neoliberal. That's MMT. #MMT #UKGreenParty #Economics #UKPolitics #EUEconomics

Social media is full of claims like 'the government's running out of money' and 'we need to balance the budget'. Sound familiar. The Social Media Critique tool teaches you to spot the misinformation moves; and land the MMT reframe that wins the argument. #MMT #UKGreenParty #Economics #UKPolitics

Kemi Badenoch says net zero is “bankrupting” Britain. But a currency-issuing government cannot run out of its own money. The UK’s problem isn’t affordability — it’s whether we choose to mobilise resources for a green transition before climate shocks get even worse. Hazel Cubbage explains

If you don’t care about the fact that one woman is killed every three days by a man in Britain, then you don’t really care about the safety of ‘are women’. If you don’t care that 350,000 women and girls are raped each year in Britain, by British men, then you don’t reallycare about ‘are women’.
