Every domestic architecture project in London nowadays:

Miles (finance bro, tall) and Jo-Jo (corporate wordage consultant, plummy) have ‘rejuvenated’ a Victorian terraced house (obliterated any trace of Victorian character to make what feels like the lab where they invent new Aesop flavours).

Wealth of top 1% in 2020: $30 trillion

Wealth of top 1% now: $44.6 trillion

That’s an increase of nearly 50%.

I don’t want to hear that the super-rich can’t afford a wealth tax.

They are literally the richest they have ever been.

And yet they demonise those on benefits and call them scroungers. The hypocrisy (and sheer greed) is sickening.

The bare minimum we should have learned from a devastating pandemic that has killed and disabled millions is that we should stay home when we are sick. Yet, governments beholden to corporate interests are determined to make sure we don't even do that.

When the Tories next say we can’t afford the Triple lock on UK pensions the lowest in Europe.Just remember they can afford to raid the £72.5billion NI surplus, to fund Freeports and Tax cuts for the rich. This is our money not theirs.
