Good morning.
A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive.
That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power.
Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

Imperialism (noun): a policy of extending a country's power and influence through colonisation, use of military force, or other means.
It's clear what Trump is doing.
Yet our Labour government refuse to defend international law and condemn the illegal actions of a rogue state.
