The rich keep getting richer. The poor keep getting poorer.
Nothing will change until we bring about a fundamental redistribution of wealth, ownership and power.

There are three things Rachel Reeves should bear in mind tomorrow: obscene wealth doesn't 'trickle down', tax cuts don't 'pay for themselves' and the private sector isn't 'more efficient'

Two children have been killed every day in Gaza since the so-called ceasefire began.
Why has this disappeared from the headlines?
The genocide never ended — and our government is still complicit.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Energy Bills - Still going up, still the most expensive in the world.
Rent - Refused rent control.
Council Tax - Going up at maximum or above.

By mimicking Reform to win back support, the Labour government is making a serious mistake. This race to the bottom emboldens Farage, punishes vulnerable people, amplifies racism, and undermines those working to hold communities together.

I used to staunchly defend the BBC. I don't recognise them as journalists any more. Pathetic.
BBC did not clarify the Philp policy much: failed to ask any of the key questions
- One reading "we have updated our policy at conference" is that the Conservative Party is ditching large parts of the May deportation bill
- Another reading "we would apply that retrospectively" is it stands
