Starmer is so Weak that he would definitely let some foreign paedophile dictator determine the UKs domestic policy.

The country wants a wealth tax on assets.

They're panicking because "won't the rich just leave" has been utterly debunked.

They've got no actual argument.

As Xmas approaches, 4.3 children in the UK - almost 1 in 3 - live in poverty

In the world's 4th richest nation, this is an obscenity, and politicians who are allowing this to continue should hang their heads in shame

Always remember, maintaining poverty is a political choice

Thanks for all the kind words on my Radio 4 interview tonight on the economy!

Vital to ask about this idea of "radicalism" - radical is actually what this Labour Government are doing.

Protecting the interests of the super rich over people and nature.

Labour say: "Labour is taking action so we can lift the largest number of children out of poverty in a single Parliamentary term."

@greenparty.org.uk knows Labour kept children in poverty for over a year and are only acting now thanks to pressure from us.

Don't let Labour gaslight you.

"We can judge Farage not just by the words he, allegedly, shouted as a child, but by the words and actions he has chosen as an adult."

Zack Polanski on why Farage should be judged on his record as a politician which has seen him echo conspiracy and language of the far right.

Just for balance,

as the bbc (probably lead by Robin Gibb) has now banned journalists from quoting it.

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.

We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

I wish I was surprised. Buried in this Budget is a plan to slash the Digital Services Tax, giving a multi-billion tax cut to US tech giants and the likes of Elon Musk.

That's right, cutting taxes for the world's richest man while hiking them for millions of hard-working Brits.

The UK Government’s new North Sea Future Plan, launched alongside the budget, promises no new licences to explore new fields.

This does not prevent the Rosebank field, which has already received a licence, from being developed.

We must keep the pressure on. 🧪

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary."

Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%?

When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

I'm currently reading this so at least I have some notion of what I'm talking about. Just to say this style of mileage tax was tried in the Australian state of Victoria and it was a disaster that was thrown out in the courts. Not saying the UK situation is the same, just an example.

Earlier this week I had this debate about wealth taxes, austerity and spending.

The Labour MP attacks me repeatedly - Labour Government have taken to doing the same thing.

Interesting people can absolutely see through it & aren't going to be distracted.

"Ordinary people are going to see their income tax bills increase"

@adrianramsay.bsky.social explains how Labour's budget fails to address unprecedented cost of living pressures- and how a wealth tax would raise revenues to fund our infrastructure and public services.

I actually thought he was reasonable today!

And that's because a wealth tax is obvious. Unless you're defending the super rich.

It's shameful Labour are refusing.

Today the Government had the opportunity to end the cost of living crisis, get Britain growing again and repair the £90bn Brexit black hole - by fixing our trade with Europe.

It didn't.
