WHAT AN INSULT the ‘deal’ is to the hostages, some tragically dead and the 67,000 civilians who died so a deal can be done with Hamas, an organisation that still exists despite their prolonged suffering being framed as a justification for the eradication of that very organisation. 💔💔💔

We may retire physically David, but as good decent people we will still be mentally haunted by injustice and unfairness. Enjoy your retirement, whenever it comes. I’m you have earned and deserve it.

Small businesses have been used as the rhetorical pawn for Tory propaganda for years whilst in reality they suffer with the rest of the serfs so the mega rich can get even richer.
So many fell for it and still do.
Oh for an enlightened and informed electorate.

It’s awful that most don’t get a good deal from the system. This has worsened in the last decade or so, which has seen staggering increases in wealth at the top of society.
We need to look to Scandinavia where taxes are fairer but businesses thrive and services, wages & pensions are excellent.

TAX IS A DIRTY WORD!
PROFIT IS NOT A DIRTY WORD!
Does this status quo of attitude really come from those of us collectively having to pay the required taxes to preserve a decent society, or from those stuffing said profits into their pockets at a favourably lower taxed rate than most other taxes?🤷🏻

Hi David, we are conditioned to think that tax is a dirty word (mostly by right wing media) & it works. Particularly anything that affects us personally.
Tax provides for the services we & others require. It is not generally taken in greed or spite. Profits from business goes into private pockets.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Tax is a contentious area and a political minefield. Every tax could be considered regressive and I agree a fair system needs to be created.
However an observation is that, you, a socialist thinks it’s necessarily tax and not exorbitant estate agent and solicitor fees that are preventing sales. 🤷🏻

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

A source within MI6 has revealed that MI6 are unhappy with the Palestine Action ban because they are not terrorists and the drain on staff is making the UK more vulnerable to actual terrorist attacks.

End the ridiculous ban.

Disgusting and stupid.
A gift for the media to demonise the ‘left’ and ignore the callous spitefulness of this individual.
She should be disowned by whoever she ‘represents’. 🤬🤬🤬.

It would be great, but will never garner widespread exposure.
