UK faces highest inflation in G7 this year and next, IMF warns According to fundโ€™s World Economic Outlook, Britain is on course to average 3.4% this year and 2.5% in 2026

UK faces highest inflation in G7 this year and next, IMF warns.

Biggest cause is profiteering led by energy, water and food businesses. No govt checks it.

Real average wage stuck at 2008 level. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. Govts needs to remove cash from the rich.

Labour is telling you VERY LOUDLY who to vote for if you value human rights. And it's definitely NOT LABOUR.

The effect of Donald Trump's largest tax cuts in history.

Only for the richest 10%, everyone else pays more.

Oh and Healthcare, Education and Public Services are completely destroyed too.

Tommy Robinson sent a letter to himself, he meant to log out and send it from a different account.

๐Ÿ˜ณ As more than 100 backbench Labour MPs prepare to rebel against the Government's cruel welfare cuts, Kemi Badenoch has offered Tory votes to push through the cuts.

These are just lies. Iran didnโ€™t actually leave the negotiating table. Israel simply bombed Iran and now the US has joined. And the UK just declared that it supports these bombings.

Itโ€™s difficult to stress how dangerous this all is, and how reckless Starmer is

MP's are looking at Social Media to see how they should vote on the PIP cuts.

They should vote against them, and they should tax billionaires.

If you agree spread the message so they see.

Itโ€™s not too late for the government to change course. Keir Starmer is being advised to urgently pause the Government's plans to cut disability & health benefits by Parliament's work & pensions committee who say they should not go ahead without a comprehensive impact assessment

โ€œNegligentโ€ and โ€œincompetentโ€ Royal Mail bosses want to cut some postal services by HALF - make your voice heard | We Own It Royal Mail wants to cut second-class letter deliveries from 6 days a week to 3, despite paying out at least ยฃ230 million in dividends every year for the last decade.

When Royal Mail was sold off we were told that this was to protect letter deliveries.

Ofcom is now consulting on cutting letter deliveries from 6 to 3 days a week.

When will they admit privatisation has failed?

Benjamin Netanyahu is accused of using starvation as a method of warfare, intentionally attacking civilians and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.

He is wanted by the ICC. While he visits, Hungary must arrest Netanyahu.

UN tells Starmer: scrap 2-child benefit cap and increase benefits UN says UK is discriminating against children, women, disabled and sick people, refugees, minorities and more The United Nations have called on UK PM Keir Starmer to scrap the pointless and cruel tโ€ฆ

We're SICK of saying this and it shouldn't need to be said, but we're going to keep saying it, again & again:
WHY can't enough money be found (even by a so-called "Labour" Government) to protect society's most vulnerable, when there's ALWAYS plenty for helping ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ's genocide*?!

Jeremy Corbyn: Keir Starmer says there's no money - I don't believe him The government cites 'difficult choices' when they are harming the most vulnerable, but increasing defence spending is apparently easy.

Why is it that "tough choices" are always about harming the poor and disabled, and never about making the very wealthiest pay their fair share?

The same Thatcher who privatised water companies in 1989, saying there'd be lower bills, better service & more investment? BUT it actually led to HIGHER bills, DREADFUL service, & HUGE lack of investment. Also SEWAGE in rivers & seas, KILLING fish&wildlife.
That effing Thatcher?

UK to reject 'dangerous journey' refugees citizenship The Home Office change has been condemned by the Refugee Council and some Labour backbench MPs.

Yet more performative cruelty. This means someone who fled for their life 25 yrs ago, got refugee status in the UK, and has been part of their community here ever since - maybe married, had kids, started a business - can never be a citizen. Thatโ€™s not right.

Why do the people who work here and get a good wage, often for doing almost nothing, think that it is ok to claim outrageous benefits, and then demonise people claiming far less who actually need them to survive?

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.

Now the UK owns nothing and has ยฃ3tn of debt.

While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant of +ยฃ18.42tn.

That's how privatisation 'works'.
