Look at this ( related) sickening news 🤬
Our young people have no future! The children of these wealthy well-connected politicians will be fine, so they probably won’t care. It’s our families who will again bear the brunt. (Why do they keep pushing this back? 🤬)

Oh, good. Another chance for Labour to reinforce their Brexit red lines. It had been at least 24H or so since they last repainted them, so we were past due...

For average UK taxpayers, EU membership cost around 11p per day, 82p per week or £3.50 per month. For that we got packed shelves, picked crops, frictionless trade, skilled EU workers, and freedom to live, work, study & retire across 32 European nations!

Our EU membership fee was actually an investment that allowed us to earn around £2 billion for every £300 million we paid in. PLUS all the social and regional funding. PLUS all the cheap loans from the European Investment Bank 💥 WHAT A DEAL!

Another timely & important analysis from @99organisation.bsky.social

“the answer is not to increase taxes on the bottom 99% -- but to focus on the extremely wealthy, who pay a lower percentage rate of tax than almost all of the rest of us”
This week’s letter to 99% members explores why most ordinary people – such as our members – pay a higher % rate of tax than the wealthiest in society.

Having got their Brexit and it not having returned the world to 1957, the right now insists on continuing to talk Britain down by talking complete nonsense about an economy they don't understand.

Oh, and that will be consumers who have chosen goods made cheaper by automation.

This is really good. Pointing out that Starmer at no point & in no way equated calls for an Inquiry with being ‘far right’ was a very lonely business last week. Here are *all* the receipts.
