Most benefits go to people IN WORK.
Because…
THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH PROPERLY PAID JOBS,
Rather than insisting employers pay decent wages, governments use taxpayers’ money to subsidise employers who don’t.
Welfare was not meant to support employers.
This is completely wrong.

Kevin Maguire is right, 60% of kids in poverty are in households where at least one parent works.

We already live in a perpetual state of class warfare. It’s called capitalism.
The socialist response is not to convince the ruling class to play nice (or 'learn MMT'). The socialist response is to support people to fight back.

On MMT
Does the left want paternalistic technocracy, or democratic socialism?

Amen 🙏
We could invest in green energy transition
We could pay carers and nurses
We could have the education that would liberate people to live life to the full.
We could guarantee full employment
We could build a state that cares.
And all without asking permission from the City.

Politics demands people in power choose how we live
Unemployment is a choice
Austerity is a choice
Poverty is a choice
Failing public services are a choice, and
Climate breakdown by inaction is a choice
Child hunger is a choice
Foodbanks are a choice
All made for us by our politicians

Merkel here expresses a sentiment so many Germans had following the fall of the Berlin Wall: that the big ideological fights were done.
That we now have to fight again for democracy and our system and freedom is something that we all need to realise.

As thousands make their way home from Your Party’s conference, I want to say a huge thank you to all the workers and volunteers — cleaners, caterers, technicians and so many more — who made it possible.
It’s people’s hard work, often unrecognised, that keeps things going!

More misrepresenting the facts by our media. While Corbyn can’t stand for the leadership as it will be run by a CEC, it’s hardly a ‘blow’ (I’m sure he won’t lose sleep) and there is nothing to stop him standing for one of the named committee roles.

The number of people (working people) accepting this as sensible or a good compromise is staggering.
And let’s not even mention the insignificant tutting from the unions
This is how we end up with little or no rights at all
