“Fiscal discipline” is code for protecting the donor class.

Fiscal Rules are thus
No Taxes on the rich
Low Interest Rates for the rich
Privatisation
Allowing price gouging
Permanent Austerity
Managed Decline

Neoliberals are the whip hand of the slave masters.

This is real. I checked. Not a joke.

The right has absolutely lost their minds. To think that shrimp can cause you to become a baby xenomorph means...

1. You never saw a movie in the Alien franchise.

2. That's not how radiation works!

3. You're delusional!

4. Are those fart noises in there?

Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

Marks & Spencer
Sainsbury's
Tesco

All bought over by shareholders called BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street Capital & Fidelity.

They've taken taxpayer IOUs and used them to buy up corporations.

Creating a monopoly that price fixes and price gouges by around 30%

It's capital, 1 up all up.

Apparently Israel is the only civilised country in the middle east.

Has that same civility that the US and UK has—which is FUCK ALL!

Utterly heartbreaking.

A Palestinian family thad had been waiting for their son's release from Israeli prisons learn he was deported.

His name is Murud Abu Rub, deported to Egypt and barred from ever re-entering Palestinian Territories.

And if you're brave enough to think—Lib Dems, Tories or God Forbid Reform would have been different.

Then you haven't fully grasped what capital—ism has done to put democracy.

It owns Dems to Reform.

It owns society via shareholder power.

£10 trillion in assets owned and controlled by 4 CEOs!

So Starmer inside a year
Proved
He's a racist
He's a enabler of genocide & ethnic cleansing.
To combat racism he gave the job to the racists.

On top of that economically he's turned into BlackRocks bitch.

If you provide services and are doing ok. Your tax bill is about to get hammered.

If Billionaires are winning
Society is losing.

If corporations are winning
Workers are losing.

And if people want rights.
The government will silence them.

The Single Transferable Part system. 5 capitalist parties and BlackRock stays in control.

Economic Fascism we used to that.

Never forget that when Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while The Washington Post gave her a thumbs up.

If you value independent, pro-democracy media that won't bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

If you don't get to grips with AI video and regulate the fuck out of it.

Ai Porn is one of the fastest and one of the few profit making versions of ai there is.

Revenge porn doesn't even need to happen they could simply use a picture of your son or daughter.

Lives will be ruined.

They tell you government debt is necessary. That it “keeps the lights on,” “maintains confidence,” and “reassures the markets.” Every clichéd phrase they trot out for the cameras when talking about the “Economy."

"We aim. to, at some point in the future, to reduce carbon output, In the meantime we'll carry on producing more every year.. and when we reach that future time and we failed to reach net zero, I'll be out of power.. so sod you"
