I am disgusted by the government’s relentless demonisation of disabled people.

All so they can protect the wealthiest from paying their fair share.

Instead of targeting the most vulnerable, let’s “crack down” on corporations and billionaires evading tax instead.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Repost if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Good businesses don’t maximise profits. They maximise happiness. youtu.be/vXSahbQFxy8?... The microeconomic theory of business is based on the idea that businesses maximise profit. They don’t because doing so works for no one. It’s a route to business failure. It’s maximizing happiness that works.

Starmer is asked why he thinks he's so unpopular & he says he's had to take tough decisions

The tough decision would have been to take on the billionaires by introducing a wealth tax. Targeting pensioners, poor kids in poverty & people who use the bus are easy decisions for you

It was an honour to speak at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica.

It’s time for Britain to confront the legacies of slavery and colonialism.

Reparations are about truth. They are about justice. That means building a more equal future by learning from the past.

The US and UK governments continue to supply arms to Israel despite its genocidal campaign in Gaza, where civilians are being systematically starved and ethnically cleansed from their homes.

They must suspend all arms sales to Israel.

This weekend, we marched once again in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

We sent a message to our government: if you knowingly supply weapons to a government whose leader is wanted for war crimes, the long arm of international law will extend to you too.

Every day the cruel two-child benefit cap pushes an additional 109 children into poverty.

Keeping it is a political choice.

Scrapping it would lift 300,000 kids out of poverty overnight.

The government needs to scrap the cap immediately & give every child the chance to thrive.
