What percentage of the economy is it reasonable for the wealthiest 1,000 people (just 0.0014% of the UK population) to own, a question every Billionaire Oligarch sponsored politician, political party & media commentators should be asked. www.thetimes.com/sunday-times...

Capitalism only competes when it is forced to.

What we have are monopolies, on Energy, on Food, on Housing, on Healthcare, on Public Transport...

They don't compete, they just charge as much as they possibly can.

Needless to say, this story is nowhere near the front page of the BBC website despite only being posted 4 hrs ago. So where have the BBC put a story about Farage, an MP who leads a Westminster party and whose seat is in Essex? In the "Wales" news section, obviously

Contrary to the headlines every attempt to subsidise house buyers simply puts up the price and rewards existing owners. Cutting ISA allowance will have zero impact on interest rates. Time to borrow and build or repair council homes in our crumbling inner cities.

Good to hear Rachel Reeves finally attack the 2 child benefit cap - but if Labour were so much against it, why’s it taken them so long to scrap it? And why were Labour MPs suspended for saying *exactly* the same last year? There’s no moral high ground here #budget2025

Alongside many campaigners, the Green Party have absolutely dragged the Labour Government to finally end the child cap.

Labour politicians disgracefully defended it for far too long.

This shows why the Green Party membership rising and rising matters.
