Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Tories were in Govt. in 2009, Doctors pay saw a decline. Apart from 2016 the BMA took no action, until 2023/24 when it took a Labour Govt to give them a generous pay rise. Now, they want another big pay rise. Why didn't they do this when the Tories were in Govt? Is this a political motivated strike?

The Employment Rights Bill has passed and will become law. As the voice of the working classes, I voted against this bill because I know the last thing people want is sick pay, paternity leave or protection from dismissal, harassment and exploitative zero hour contracts.

Has Nigel Farage, the racist antisemitic leader of Reform, condemned the antisemitic terrorist attack in Bondi yet?
If/when he does, can someone in the media please call him out for his hypocrisy (and for his racism, as he won’t be able to resist doing a racism about Muslims and wotnot)… 🙄😒🤮
