Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

The more money you make the more tax you pay.

No Capital Gains or Tax Haven or Landlord income scams.

14 years for red paint if you're an activist. Zero arrests for red paint when it's used to intimidate immigrants in our communities. Prof Richard Murphy re-examines the idea of two-tier policing.

What makes this criminal damage acceptable?
Sometimes red paint can get you 14 years. Sometimes it is tolerated. When did intimidating your neighbours become acceptable?

The richest 400 Americans paid a lower average effective tax rate than all other U.S. taxpayers from 2018 to 2020.

And thanks to Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill, they’ll keep paying less.

Is it any wonder so many think the game is rigged?

The billionaire press barons must be having a right laugh…

Here we are distracted & arguing over asylum seekers (0.2% of the population)

Meanwhile, billionaires (just 0.0002% of the population) hoard more wealth than half the UK

Immigration isn’t draining us

Inequality is.

"There are those out there who submit to the false narrative, peddled by politicians and media alike, that the far-right xenophobes that exist on the fringes of English politics somehow represent the entire nation."
Let’s celebrate the real England
England is not the far-right fringe - it's a nation of compassion, protest, and progress. The people show who we are

The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly barring states and organizations that receive government funds from helping undocumented immigrants.

This will make it harder for the most vulnerable people to get help in the aftermath of disasters.
