Austerity claimed it would reduce debt, but debt never went down
Actually it was a scheme to reduce wages to increase profits, and reduce Public Services to decrease taxes for the rich
Now we need to increase wages, increase taxes on the rich and decrease profits.

The UK is sick. Getting rid of Nigel Farage from frontline politics won’t cure the malaise, but it would be a bloody good start on the road to recovery.

The only surefire way to stop oligarchs buying up the things we love is to drop those things the moment oligarchs buy them & that requires changing habits and massive self-discipline.
It means going to alternatives that might not be quite as good or convenient.
It’s really hard. But there it is.

Nigel Farage won't apologise for his history of racism because "if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too,'" a Reform source tells the Times.
So essentially he was a racist and he believes his supporters are racists too

It’s really simple…
- Cap all political donations
- Ban foreign donations
- Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties
- No titles, honours or peerages for donors
- No govt contracts for donors
- Publish every donation/lobby meeting
…that’ll do it.

A thoroughly deserved win at a place we’ve never won at in the PL!
3 wins out of 4.
Consecutive away PL wins with clean sheets for 1st time in nearly 5yrs.
In top half at this stage of the season for only the 2nd time in the past 8 seasons.
3 points off 4th place.
Maybe people will calm down now!😃
