You get PAYE and have to pay 47% tax on anything over £125,140.

They put their assets in a Tax Haven and get the profits sent there, they don't pay any tax and the only tax that gets put on it is 25% Corporation Tax.

This is how the system is rigged against you.

FoI requests revealed that Cheshire and Merseyside ICB spent £5m on management consultants in the last financial year, for what purpose is unclear. There are 42 ICB's if they are spending a similar amount, that's a lot of nurses and doctors not being employed.

Corporate welfare costs between £85 billion and £180 billion a year in the UK.

If we choose to be angry over the £1 billion motability scheme, we’re allowing ourselves to be both divided and conquered

Tax breaks for UK company cars cost the exchequer £3.27 billion a year

Motability costs £1 billion

Both are valuable to the folk who get them, and yet we save our pitchforks and torches for disabled people

Hundreds of children are sacrificed every year in the United States on the altar of the freedom to bear arms. Yet Republicans are perfectly happy with this.
Yes, who is more likely to regard the sacrifice of people as abhorrent than those who follow a religion centered on celebrating the sacrifice of a person?

UK energy bill payers to hand £2bn a year in subsidies to EDF, owned by the French govt, for building two nuclear power stations.

That will come handy in keeping energy prices down in France, improving govt finances.

Dividends won't be taxed in the UK.

All because UK govts oppose public ownership

Spending on Privatisation now makes up around 10% of the NHS budget, but they only do about 4% of the work.

More Privatisation is apparently the solution, presumably so in the end they get 100% of the money and do 40% of the work.

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

An MP in Zimbabwe has called for the repeal of the country's "backwards" 1977 abortion law. He argued that safe abortion should be available to a wider range of Zimbabwean women, as it is currently restricted to a privileged few. Each year, 60,000 women die due to unsafe abortion.

It is not justice if the rich can avoid court by paying off claimants. It is not justice when a young woman, traumatised and alone when compared to what she was going up against – the entire might of The Great British Establishment – doesn’t get her day in court.

It’s vital we decarbonise home heating. Heat pumps are one great option, but not right for every home.

The Government must back other technologies, like Luthmore’s zero-emission boiler, with the same support like VAT exemption & grant funding.

We need a range of green technology to cut emissions.
Government must level the playing field for the clean heat industry – or risk leaving UK homes out in the cold
The Warm Homes Plan is a crucial opportunity to make the most of a range of innovative, low-carbon technologies to decarbonise homes at scale, writes Lib Dem MP Wera Hobhouse
