The Greens pushed Labour into doing this. Without the pressure from the Green Party they never would have removed the two child benefit cap.

Pension Salary Sacrifice tax feels like a huge punitive slap in the face. Paying tax to save, then having to pay again when we collect is simply monstrously bad.

I sacrifice well over 8k a year to my pension. Thank goodness I retire in 2029 when this shit happens or I'd be cutting it right back.
First they ignore you.

Then they attack you in the budget.

Excellent spot with @zackpolanski.bsky.social being (lightly) grilled by Ash Sarkar for @novaramedia.com - Some very good questions from the assembled audience too. 👏💚
A live audience, Novara Media and the brilliant Ash Sarkar.

We talk socialism, AI and how to lower bills and tax billionaires.

Labour think that THIS is positive, it isn't. Fares are already too high, trains are cramped, mostly standing room only, many get cancelled for no reason. Bringing prices DOWN would be positive.
I'll stick to using my car, it's faster and cheaper.
I’m really pleased to share some positive news for commuters and families.

For the first time since the ‘90s, Labour is freezing national rail fares. That will mean savings for people across the country👇🏻

Things move quickly in politics. The idea of a Sunday broadsheet dedicating it's entire front page to @greenparty.org.uk is huge, and let's be honest, a sign of changing times.

People are sitting up and noticing @zackpolanski.bsky.social

“If you go back a million minutes, you reach 2023. Go back a billion minutes, you reach the Roman Empire — that’s the scale of inequality we’re living with.”

That headline should have been "GBNews bends over for Trump, giving him an opening on UK TV".

I mean, it sounds properly pervy, but so is Trump, right?

There’s a reason the Minister is stalling. She knows this is unworkable. She is scared of holding the bomb when it goes off. And she’s right to be worried.
The draft EHRC Code of Practice, as reported in the Times, now admits that there is no way to enforce the anti-trans bathroom ban other than based on policing the appearance and gender presentation of all service users.

Right-wing hack appears not to like a progressive and inclusive ideas.

Perhaps he's enjoying the nasty & toxic environment we live in instead, generated by both right-wing Government think & (checks notes)... right-wing populist, class-attacking, outrage baiting, dumpster-diving media.
Entitled to lower bills.

Entitled to a liveable planet.

Entitled to make hope normal again.

The message is a simple one, but the billionaire backed parties will never change. If you haven't already heard the call, it's time to listen, and take action. Help to bring on a better future, and as Zack says "Let's Make Hope Normal Again".
