The world's richest 0.1% took just three days to exhaust their annual carbon budget

The UK’s richest 1% produced more carbon pollution in eight days than the poorest 50% used in a year.

We can't afford the rich - they produce corruption, poverty, environmental degradation; destroy democracy.
World’s richest 1% have already used fair share of emissions for 2026, says Oxfam
Richest 1% took 10 days while wealthiest 0.1% needed just three days to exhaust annual carbon budget, study shows

Tory legacy.

Thousands of flood defences protecting homes or businesses in England are below the required condition.

Years of austerity, cuts to council funding, deregulation, indulging builders to build in flood plains, lack of investment by water companies.

Country deserves better.

Eurgh I’ve just read an article by former Health Secretary Alan Johnson, and it’s caused my heart to race. Why? Because I wrote a book about how politicians were privatising the NHS, he wrote a scathing review of it for The Guardian, which said I ‘should go to specsavers”. …

The very first thing the Prime Minister does is use the household budget metaphor.

A metaphor - this report into BBC coverage - said could be "easily misleading."

Why is the government trying to mislead the country?

Just yesterday, when covering a story regarding sugar in milkshake drinks, the BBC platformed the Institute of Economic Affairs, unsurprisingly without asking who funds them.

It's absolutely woeful journalism.

To suggest that having lived a life so grim that even an English tribunal will grant you asylum, and to have somehow managed to get here at great risk to life, is a "golden ticket" is absolutely fucking contemptible. Shame on this so-called Labour Party.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Since 2000, the richest 1% of the world's population has taken 41% of new wealth, the poorest half has received only 1%.

Rich buy political parties, media, means of production, cause corruption, climate crisis, make mockery of democracy. Poor die early.

Must redistribute or risk social disorder.
We cannot continue letting billionaires keep the world's money while the poorest suffer
