What do these corporations have in common?
Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel
In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Striking in this debate hosted by @krishgm.bsky.social how many people in the comments are saying that a wealth tax at this point is so obvious.
Is it any surprise that the Labour Governments response is to continually try and take swipes at the Green Party?

The country wants a wealth tax on assets.
They're panicking because "won't the rich just leave" has been utterly debunked.
They've got no actual argument.

Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%?

I know who Nus Ghani MP is - not because we always agree - but because she’s been serving her constituency (as well as lewks) since 2015.
Who the hell is Lucy White?!
Ah, a quick google search reveals her as a rentagob for GB ‘news.’
I know which one is qualified to chair the budget debate.

This is such an important read! Give this read the 5 minutes it deserves!
Farage is who he is, not the patriotic politician that he always pretends to be.
Maya Angelou so wisely said, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time".
Britain must confront the issue of why 'ordinary' people want his divisive, hateful, racist xenophobic lies to succeed.

When I hear Farage talking about rounding up and deporting hundreds of thousands of human beings, and threatening those with leave to remain or settled status, I cannot help but think of the schoolboy sidling up to me and telling me that “Hitler was right”

This is classic. As an ex-teacher, the line that bullies always came out with was “I didn’t mean to hurt him, I was just having some fun”.
