What did Karl Marx predict?
He predicted that under unrestricted Capitalism money would be concentrated into the hands of a handful of individuals, that Governments would become controlled by the richest, and that wages would be subsistence level.
He was right.

There are thousands of trained doctors in the UK right now — unemployed. Not because they’re unnecessary, but because the government refuses to fund the NHS roles we desperately need.
If we have the doctors, we can fund the doctors. So why won’t they?

Why is our government choosing NHS cuts over patient care?

Just for absolute clarity, the government’s proscription of Palestine Action is a self-evident farce, deeply unethical and morally bankrupt. It is an unforgivable waste of time and resources, and makes them look both deeply unserious and as ideologically compromised as they clearly are.

China has brought millions out of poverty. The US has not – by choice.
The UK is following the US model. Wealth concentrated in fewer hands. 24m can't attain minimum standard of living, real average wage unchanged since 2008, public services eroded, profiteering is rife.

Apsana Begum is right, the chancellor needs to scrap the two child benefit cap entirely.
Apsana was of course suspended from the Parliamentary Labour Party by Keir Starmer last year for voting to scrap the cap.
