As Tony Benn said
" … “I don't think people realise how the establishment became established. They simply stole land & property from the poor, surrounded themselves with weak minded sycophants for protection, gave themselves titles & have been wielding power ever since!”

I've just called on my MP to back a Wealth Tax at the Autumn Budget.

A Wealth Tax is the best alternative to cuts; raising billions to invest in our public services and to support people hit by the cost-of-living crisis.

Write to your MP here.

In the last 30 years.

University has become unaffordable.
Homes have become unaffordable.
Healthcare has become unaffordable/non existent.
Heating has become unaffordable.
All the jobs are Minimum Wage.

The screws are only turned on you so billionaires can become trillionaires

...aaaand HSBC tops off the Q3 profits of the Big Four banks - with a whopping £17.3 billion made in 2025 so far 🤯

We took our message to parliament yesterday to say loud and clear: these are windfall profits, & they *need* a windfall tax.

The richest 150 people in the UK make £115m profit every day, that's your cash taken from you, not asset value, not share price increase.

£115m a day, every day, in pure profit, for 150 people who are already billionaires.

Why does no one complain about that?

ME/CFS is an evil disease and the fact that there are zero clinical supports for it should be an international scandal. the only reason it isn't is because people with ME/CFS are too sick to advocate on behalf of ourselves.

Ask someone why they are voting for Nigel Farage and you will get a racist rant or a belief that he will do exactly the opposite of what he would do

Nigel Farage hates pensioners
He hates Disabled People
He hates free Healthcare

If you are old Nigel Farage will kill you

Disabled people aren’t ignorant. We knew that the labour government could not suddenly make things better overnight after 14 years of shit.

But to attack the most vulnerable, when there are so many other more pressing priorities, is simple cruelty and should never be accepted.
