A teeny weeny 2% tax on Britain’s super rich would raise £24 billion.

Think of all the good we could with a sum like that - and it would only ever so slightly make the tax system more fair - plenty of room for improvement after that.

Just as we predicted …

Meanwhile, where is the response to the emergency within emergency services, which is less lucrative and attractive to private health companies?🚨🚨🚨

This text was hugely influential and is regarded as one of the earliest works of feminist philosophy.

Who is going to do all of the work for these private companies bringing down NHS waiting lists? Staff who have been poached from the NHS of course. The private health sector in the UK trains almost no staff, takes on NHS work and does so to create a profit for shareholders. 🚨🚨🚨

Instead of tackling the climate crisis, the system is busy punishing a 77-year-old peaceful protester because her wrists are too small for a tag.

Bit of a misuse of resources?

We’ve long been told that “there is no alternative”.

There is. It’s called socialism.
