“It said the UK’s richest 1% produced more carbon pollution in eight days than the poorest 50% used in a year. To stay within 1.5C level set by the Paris agreement in 2015, the richest 1% would have to reduce their emissions by 97% by 2030.”

I cannot stress enough that if X gets banned in the UK, it is not an assault on Freedom of Speech - it is the consequence of a platform that has allowed the mass creation of non-consensual sexual imagery of women and children which, in the UK is illegal.

If we name people relying on public money as scroungers, then it's worth being honest about which institutions do the same - costing the public hundreds of millions of pounds every year.

The monarchy, for one.

Imagine the Trump-inspired country Farage wants for Britain. No NHS, huge insurance bills, people denied care.

That’s Trump’s America. Don’t let it become Farage’s Britain.

Farage's Reform want to allow the super-rich to buy their way out of paying UK tax for just £250k.

This would cost the country an estimated £34 billion in lost revenue.

Rather than exempting the wealthiest, the Green Party would tax them properly to help fix our public services.

Reform UK is proposing a "Britannia card" that would let wealthy foreigners pay a £250k fee to move to the UK, and live here exempt from all tax on their foreign assets

What they don't say: it would cost the UK £34bn

Labour’s shocking plans to cut vital frontline NHS services must be stopped.

Instead of cuts to hospitals and the community in the name of austerity, the government should remove all privatisation, tax the super rich and invest in these services.

If we had PR, there would be a place for single-issue parties like a hypothetical "Rejoin the EU" party.
