Happy New Year!

Our first letter of 2026 examines the increasing threat posed to the rest of the population by the wealthiest 0.001%.

Just 56,000 people have vastly more wealth than half the world's population – and they want yet more.

I wonder what Tiny Tom and his cohorts did on Christmas Day? I am sure Farage will also want to applaud this altruism.
A Muslim Chip Shop owner from Liverpool, UK, stayed open on Christmas Day to give free meals to the needy and vulnerable.

Owner Mubinul Hoque kept his chip shop, Portland's Fish and Chips, open for a second year running on Christmas Day to support NHS staff, carers, emergency and old people

What happened starting in 1980?

Mass Privatisation.

So instead of your wages being decided by what your Government could afford and what you earned, you are paid as little as possible to maximise profit.

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI.

The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

Trump hates Europe’s democracies because they have universal health care, a strong social welfare system and heavy unionization.

He prefers MBS’s Saudi Arabia, where one trillionaire family runs a brutal dictatorship.

What a betrayal of American values!
