If you work and you have a job you are taxed.
If you don't work, if you 'earn' your money by being a landlord or a stock trader, you pay half the tax or less than people who work do.
If you are a CEO, if you own a company, you pay virtually no tax at all.
Tax the rich.

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.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Question Time invited me to immigration special in Dover.
We spoke to HIGNFY producers. "Makes total sense! Come on in 2026 instead!"
Ian Hislop probably didn't hear that but just for the record on the facts!

Not sure who needs to hear this, but if a politician promises to make utility bills go down, they need to make them *go down over time*, not go down compared to a fictitious alternate universe that only exists in some think tank's models.

Imagine being a Labour MP and thinking that using "lefties" as a slur is going to win back voters. Not only have they lost all identity, they're also utterly clueless.
Yet another crap video from another Labour MP (Josh Simons) attacking me and "lefties."
Showing us exactly who they are.
They serve only power & weath.
2026 - the year of people power.
