Every year 100s of employers are named and shamed for failure to pay the statutory minimum wage.

2016-2023: over 3m workers denied the minimum wage.

Puny fines do nothing. Fines must equal the remuneration of the board of directors. 50% personally payable. Imprison persistent offenders.
The government must ensure fair distribution of income
'The average real wage of workers has hardly moved from the 2008 level whilst bosses never had it so good.'

During the last ceasefire, the Royal Air Force continued to send spy planes over Gaza to collect intelligence for Israel.

The evidence suggests Britain exploited the ceasefire to spy on Hamas and help Israel prepare for a return to war👇

Why is Britain still sending spy flights towards Gaza?
Two RAF surveillance planes have flown over the eastern Mediterranean during the ceasefire, as campaigners demand inquiry into UK intelligence sharing with Israel.

What if the UK admitted it uses MMT and turned that into its superpower? youtu.be/ufst9cxbyZA?... What if the UK government admitted it already uses modern monetary theory? Would markets panic — or would we finally have the power to rebuild Britain?

Personally, I'm not bothered about an extra £10k @johnswinney.bsky.social I would rather that my country was free & Independent first & foremost. We can enjoy the other obvious benefits properly once we untangle ourselves from this unequal & unholy alliance that is the UK. To me that is worth more.

Trump pressure to hike UK drug prices could cost NHS billions.

Corporate profits will increase. NHS budget will buy less. People to pay higher taxes or face public service cuts.

To avoid bullying UK Govt must produce cheaper generic drugs.

Who governs UK - Govt, Trump, Corporations?
Trump pressure to hike UK drug prices could cost NHS billions, experts warn
Anew deal will only trigger further increased price demands and make healthcare in the UK more expensive, say experts

Rising bills. Falling living standards. The UK economic model is broken.

Independence is the fresh start for Scotland - so we can build a wealthier, fairer nation shaped by the people who live here.

The USA is not part of the ICC, and it needs to be. Instead, Krasnov has an EO issuing sanctions on them. The ICC is taking notes and starting to fight back. Crimes against Humanity. The ICC could go after Rubio and Hegseth and put USA power in check.🤞
