I know of a woman who staged a protest against Victoria's Secret Runway shows, because she felt that they did not show diversity. They seemed to have thankfully listened and all body types were represented this year. This is a very important message to convey in the age of social media trickery.

PPE Medpro refuses to pay the debt which is now £145m.

The Government needs to charge the debt to Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman and then put out an arrest warrant.

They can sit in prison until the pay.

I couldn't agree more. The human suffering that Billionaires cause is vast and undeniable. We need more change makers like MacKenzie Scott, who is giving her money away to those in need, at a lightening rate.

A #BillionaireMeToo is a collective declaration that hoarding obscene wealth while others struggle is not normal, not acceptable, and causes huge societal damage.

We are millionaires, and we are adding our voices to say: this system is wrong. #TaxTheRich

140,000 affordable homes built under @thesnpmedia.bsky.social government.
100,000 of those homes for social renting.
That’s the progress of an SNP government

400 Americans have more wealth than all 70m in the UK.

The richest 0.1% of the UK have more money than poorest 50% of UK.

Do you see how it works, do you understand how ridiculously rich the richest have become.

The richest 0.1% are 42x richer than in 1970, you got 12%.

That's a positive first step. If we can build more social homes and follow Nation's like Finland's lead, we can prevent more people from dying on our streets and stop money going to private Landlords who make so much from temporary accommodation.
