Right-wing commentators claim inequality in Britain is falling. It isn’t. In this video, I expose the real story behind Britain’s growing inequality and why official data is misleading, as well as suggesting what we need to do to tackle this issue. youtu.be/WhFPzDWOQzk?...

Is Britain's inequality really decreasing?

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

All that's left to flog off now is the ground below our feet.

But have no worries, Starmer will continue with Sunak's plan of Freeports and SEZs to complete the sell off.

Thanks

Govts of Australia, Bermuda, Canada, Cayman, China, France, Germany Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Qatar, Singapore, Spain, UAE, US would like to thank UK for letting their entities own UK infrastructure.

Vast profits exported, Britons stare at sewage in rivers.

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership

Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

A proper fighter is Zack. Back him and the greens and take the fight for the soul of the country mainstream. Hold reform and the rest of the tories including Labour to account. The very least we should have is a proper opposition. I feel hopeful at least that will be achieved and reform kept out

Statistics already available and many studies have shown mass exodus for tax reasons just doesnt happen among the 1%. At last Study, 0.3% of millions leaving the country cite tax reasons. Such a bullshit myth.

I really want to know what Farage has ever done to help anyone except for himself? Brexit did less than nothing for anyone except to boost his self-esteem. He's nothing more than a puffed-up, self-important schoolboy grifting his way through life.

Farage is saying all teachers are Marxists. They're not. They just teach that we should care for one another. But that offends his fascist instincts. The result is he is turning on a profession that teaches about compassion and empathy - because he loathes it. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/10...

Nigel Farage’s declaration of war on teachers is a war on compassion, empathy and kindness

According to The Guardian, Nigel Farage, speaking at an event at a private Christian college in Michigan, USA, has accused teachers in the UK of “poisoning our kids” and predicted that they would go o...

It beggars belief how hard and fast the Labour Party has imploded under Starmer's clusterfuck of a leadership.

Anyway, let bygones be bygones. Labour are a busted flush, onwards with the Green Party!

A brilliant performance from @zackpolanski.bsky.social on #bbcqt last night.

Voters who saw it will be in no doubt that the Green Party is about way more than just the environment.

And that Labour and the Tories are done and the battle is between Reform and the Green Party.
