Dishonest Chancellor Rachel Reeves said: "Our free breakfast clubs are ensuring over half a million more children don’t start the school day hungry."

The first of these clubs won't start until April 2026, most are scheduled to open in September 2026, or 2027...

These kids are still hungry...

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.

Budget 2025

One lesso: organise, inform, campaign, protest.

UK Govt wasted 18 months, condemned millions of children to poverty. Today govt announced end of the two child benefit cap.

7 MPs had Labour whip withdrawn for opposing the cap. For 18 months Ministers defended the stupid policy.

Budget 2025.

Household energy bills could be cut by £154, green levies shifted to general taxation.

No abolition of VAT on domestic fuel.

No curbs on energy company profiteering/dividends.

No change in the Ofgem pricing formula, which gives us one of the most expensive electricity in the world.

Alongside many campaigners, the Green Party have absolutely dragged the Labour Government to finally end the child cap.

Labour politicians disgracefully defended it for far too long.

This shows why the Green Party membership rising and rising matters.

How are all those Labour politicians cheering for it?

They were literally whipped to vote for it and then the Prime Minister suspended those who didn't.

They really are totally devoid of any moral principle.

They respond to one thing - and that's political pressure.

UK gambling industry made £15.6bn in 2024 (£16.8bn in 2025)

Most companies holed up in Gibraltar & Malta, dodge UK taxes. Some pay corporation tax at the rate of 3%-4%. No VAT on gambling.

Public bears the cost of gambling addiction.

Firms resent paying extra tax to clear their mess.

Tax them.
