BB energy don't sue South Sudan!

UK-based oil trader is SUING South Sudan for non-payment of debt! It’s shameful that a country experiencing a humanitarian disaster could be sued by oil traders making millions.

Write to the CEO now, to drop the case, will you: tinyurl.com/yr4aksya

Over 68,000 of us have signed the petition to #CancelDebtChooseHope 🔥👏🏼 🔥 ✊🏿

Before Keir Starmer headed to the #G20 leaders' summit, we presented the petition to 10 Downing Street 👇🏽

54 countries are in debt crisis right now 🌍

Time for rich countries like the UK to take action & #cancelthedebt!

Solidarity and respect to all those who have campaigned long and hard for this cruel policy to be lifted.

We know households with children are disproportionately likely to be in a negative budget, or struggling with heavy debt. This is an important change, long overdue, but warmly welcomed.

Tomorrow the chancellor faces a clear choice: allow millions to fall into crisis, or take meaningful steps: fix council tax, ban bailiffs, tackle energy costs. This budget should be the moment for this.

Help make sure the government acts: act.debtjustice.org.uk/ban-bailiffs...
November 25, 2025 at 1:01 PM
What can be done?

1. Ban the Bailiffs
People are living in fear of bailiffs for debts they simply can’t afford. A third of people with council tax debt live below the poverty line. Bailiff use has surged 30% in two years. It’s time to ban them from council tax collection, NOW

In our newest blog, Toby charts this crisis in council tax debt which has soared 300% since 2014. Over 4 million people are behind on their bills while council tax has jumped 54% in a decade.

The Budget Must Address the Household Debt Crisis

The cost-of-living crisis isn’t over. Unemployment and bankruptcies are rising, and more than 10 million people are affected by growing household debt. This budget is a crucial moment for action.

Between 2008–2022, the UK borrowed at the lowest rates in its history. That was a once-in-a-generation chance to invest in social housing, insulation, renewables and public services.

Meanwhile in the UK, the real problem isn’t government debt - it’s political choices. Public spending per person has barely grown in a decade. Poverty remains high. Yet progressive taxation is avoided. Many people are struggling to pay bills. Its not a govt debt crisis, its a household debt crisis
November 20, 2025 at 11:48 AM
For many lower-income countries, debt is owed to foreign lenders. This means scarce resources flow OUT of the country. On average, they spend 17% of revenue on external debt payments. Some spend over 30%. Angola for example, over 60%.
November 20, 2025 at 11:48 AM
Yes, the UK’s interest payments have risen. But Britain still borrows at around 4.5% - far below what many lower-income countries face (9–14%). And crucially, the UK borrows in its *own currency*
November 20, 2025 at 11:48 AM
Ahead of the UK budget, government debt has dominated headlines. Threat of a UK “debt crisis” is used to justify cuts in welfare and public services.

But the story is far more nuanced and the REAL global debt crisis isn’t getting nearly enough attention. @tim-jones6.bsky.social explains

Meet the world’s loan sharks 🦈👇🏾

💸 Fifty-four countries are in debt crisis - while private lenders make vast profits.

🚑 In Africa, 34 countries are spending more on debt than health or education.
