Would anyone dare to defend the super-rich? So why do successive British governments do next to nothing to address this?
This is obscene.
That others in politics can’t or won’t say that this is obscene hits at the heart of the problems we face.
We are the 99.999%.
Tax the super rich.

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion.
It would be good if this got even a fraction of the coverage devoted to the endless debate about boats, flags and Turkish barber shops

When you hear what Rachel Reeves has in store in the Budget, remember that there were ALWAYS other choices.
Labour have deliberately and consciously chosen to ignore the fact that Brexit is draining up to £90 billion a year from the UK economy.
That's a gap no amount of taxation can fill.

This is exactly what I said would happen when I analysed the NHS 10 year plan. Clever words are hiding the reality-people are agitating to pull as many services out of hospitals as possible. Why? Because it’s a lot easier to privatise services that way🚨
