Poorest Britons lose right to financial privacy.

The Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Act 2025 empowers the state to 24/7 snoop on the bank accounts of recipients of universal credit; employment and support allowance; state pension credit.

No court order needed. No right of appeal.

In 2026, the UK state pension age will rise to 67 from 66, fully implemented by 2028.

Rich retire whenever they want. The poor die at work, receive low pension, have shorter life.

Low wages = low private pension. Neoliberals want to cut state pension, inflict more misery on millions.
State pension age to increase to new threshold for millions of people
An increase in the age is on the horizon after it was announced more than a decade ago.

🚨A Petition calling for a full, public inquiry into RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN UK POLITICS AND DEMOCRACY has hit the threshold for a debate, but a debate isn’t automatic. MPs need to show support.

Email your MP NOW & ask them to publicly support the call for a Commons debate

Good that UK govt wants to lift 550,000 children out of poverty.

BUT 16m people, including 5.2m children, live in poverty.

24m people live below socially acceptable living standards.

Can't end child poverty without tackling parental poverty. Can't do that without reforming capitalism.
To tackle child poverty the government must deal with parental poverty
Labour's child poverty strategy offers some welcome measures, but it won't address the factors keeping families trapped in poverty

Two stories you may not have seen this week that would be a big deal in a normal country:

1) The ‘dossier’ detailing the BBC’s editing of the Trump speech literally edited Trump’s speech.

2) The NBER calculated that Brexit’s longer term damage to GDP was greater than originally forecast.

Reform UK, vote Nigel Farage if you think

The Minimum Wage is too high.
The richest 4% earning £100,000+ pay too much tax.
The State Pension needs to be means tested.
We should get rid of the NHS.
The retirement age is too low.

If you hate yourself, vote Farage.

Meanwhile Labour go after the poor, the disabled, the elderly, instead of windfall taxing energy companies. Disgraceful

Regarding the ECHR, Adolf Hitler suspended the law in 1933 so he could deal with the communists, then the Disabled People, then the Jews and the Roma...

Long story short millions of people died, and nobody got their rights back until after Hitler was dead.
