No major bank has yet committed to stop funding new oil and gas fields or coal capacity.

They are appeasing Trump, stock markets and shareholders. Exec pay rockets as the environment harmed.

Bank branches vanishing. Profits from high charges, low interest rates on savings, scandals, speculation.

A clip that appears to show Conservative MP George Freeman announcing his defection to Reform UK isn’t real and was very likely made using artificial intelligence.

The MP said the video is “entirely fake and false”.

The UK government is asked yet again if it will ban the import of goods from Israel’s illegal settlements.

Foreign minister Hamish Falconer again defends Israel by refusing.

The UK says the settlements are illegal but allows trade with them!

Average real wage of UK workers is stuck the 2008 level.

Some bosses are collecting 1,112 times more than the average employee wage. Millions forced to rely on food banks and charity.

Workers have no say in income distribution. Govts do nothing.

Can't build economy/society on huge inequalities.

The government must ensure fair distribution of income

'The average real wage of workers has hardly moved from the 2008 level whilst bosses never had it so good.'
