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.

Very convincing that money essentially comes out of a combination of the tribal practice of blood money, and the embodiment of that in state and religious laws around both punishment and tribute.

Not a dynamic origination story to overcome the failures of the barter economy.

Rachel Reeves on #C4News saying Labour are now lifting 450,000 children out of poverty by removing the two child benefit cap

So an admission that Labour kept 450,000 children in poverty for the past year because they didn't care enough about child poverty to lift them out of it last year

Well done to all those who have tirelessly campaigned to scrap the 2-child benefit cap.

Today, the government admitted it had been keeping thousands of children in poverty for no reason whatsoever.

Next, tax wealth, reverse austerity and end the privatisation rip-off!

The solution often touted for Yorkshire, and Northern England in general, is devolution.

The problem is that they push fragmented forms of devolution. Mayors here, combined authorities there etc. Different powers, nobody knows exactly what etc.

There is an obvious and better solution.

Rachel Reeves’ 2025 Budget has already collapsed under the weight of its own contradictions. In this video, I explain why tax rises on ordinary people, baseless growth forecasts, and a refusal to tax wealth fairly mean this Budget will fail. youtu.be/xvdFsOT6WPk?...

The fundamental question isn't one of growth.

It is one of distributional justice.
The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.

How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?

They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

Austerity 2.0. Attacks on disabled people. Arming genocide.

The Labour Party has turned a fundamental corner — and I don’t see it coming back.
