What if the push alerts were “Trump stumbles through major speech, not knowing the diff between Iceland/Greenland; rants about political enemies (both real and imagined); as world watches in horror” instead of this?

If you work and you have a job you are taxed.

If you don't work, if you 'earn' your money by being a landlord or a stock trader, you pay half the tax or less than people who work do.

If you are a CEO, if you own a company, you pay virtually no tax at all.

Tax the rich.

Post Office had deal with Fujitsu to fix Horizon errors 19 years ago.

They lied to courts, parliamentary committees.

Postmasters knowingly wrongfully prosecuted, Lives destroyed. Compensation being paid from public purse, none by those who profited from the scandal.

No one charged for conspiracy.

The emergence of a document contradicts claims made by the Post Office over bugs in its IT system during criminal prosecutions.

The Reform Christian Church:
Its patron saint is of course St. Judas Iscariot.

Let us pray: 🙏🏻
‘Our Nigel, which art in parliament,
Farage be thy Name;
Thy fascism come;
Thy will be done
in Dubai, as it is in Clacton.’

As for that Jesus bloke, he’s a bloody leftard.😤

Ask your local Reform candidate

Funny* isn't that the Media complain about the 15% payrise for Train Drivers over 3 years, or the 22% payrise for Doctors over 3 years.

But they ignore the 76% payrise for CEO's over the last 5 years, or the 38% payrise for Bankers in 1 year.

*Disgusting

England nationalized rail passenger services lease carriages from rolling stock companies (ROSCOs).

87% of rolling stock controlled by 3 Luxembourg companies.

Paid £1.282bn dividends in last 3 yrs. Not taxed in UK.

Privatization has hollowed out the UK - Taxes lost, it is all about exploitation.
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.

If you can't get a job, they call you 'a scrounger'. If you get a job and can't make ends meet, they tell you to find a better-paid job. And if you do get a well-paid job, they tell you train drivers earn too much.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"

Turns out, mom was right.
