In 2026, the UK state pension age will rise to 67 from 66, fully implemented by 2028.

Rich retire whenever they want. The poor die at work, receive low pension, have shorter life.

Low wages = low private pension. Neoliberals want to cut state pension, inflict more misery on millions.
State pension age to increase to new threshold for millions of people
An increase in the age is on the horizon after it was announced more than a decade ago.

60,000 people – 0.001% of the world’s population – control three times as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity.

Top 10% earn more than the other 90%.

They control govts, means of production; inflict civil strife, deaths; thwart possibilities of democracy.

Tax the rich.
Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds
Data from World Inequality Report also showed top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90%

Three weeks without a Reform representative on Laura Kuenssberg! Anyone would think we were avoiding questions about election fraud, MEPs taking Russian bribes, me being a racist bully at school, Reform officials calling LBGT people nonces or my dodgy house purchase.

Streeting says he can't rule out harm or death over Christmas caused by the resident doctors strike.

In fact, he is the one responsible since he ignored resident doctors' requests for meetings in October and November to resolve the issues.

His f***ing job is to keep us safe

He is playing politics
@fletchjack.bsky.social from the BMA explains they've been trying to get round the table with Wes Streeting for several months but Streeting didn't even bother replying to their letter

Now we're in Dec with a Flu epidemic & Streeting is accusing resident doctors of endangering patients
