Capital gains at rates 18% to 32%. No NIC.

Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%.

Democracy and social justice... whose?

Ministers reject Waspi calls for compensation after rethink Women hit by changes to the state pension age say the decision shows

UK govt again rejects compensation to 1950s-born women over state pension age confusion.

2024 ombudsman report recommended apology & compensation. Govt apologised, no compensation.

If only they been party donors, private equity managers, non-doms, steel companies ... they would have got something.

“Trumpism on the right in the UK is growing and festering”.

“The American right think Britain is run by Muslims and communists”.

Mehdi Hasan on the transatlantic shift to the right, and the role Elon Musk has to play in this.

In the 6th largest economy, 103000 people died in poverty in 2024.

120,000 died in fuel poverty, couldn't afford adequate heating.

Ethnic minorities, pensioners, single working age adults more likely to die in poverty.

Poverty and death sentence is a political choice as govts appease the rich.

Mind boggling that we now have the best defensive record, equal with Motherwell 😳 The coach is working minor miracles with the same squad, minus a host of injuries 👏👏👏

Redacting Andrew papers ‘like removing Trump from Epstein files’ A biographer of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor said officials were panicking and worrying about what releasing the papers to the National Archives would reveal

Files on Andrew’s activities as trade envoy withheld by the government. Once again even disgraced royals are protected by the state. What’s there to hide? It’s more important than ever that transparency reigns with the Royal Family. And it never does.

Tory legacy

Backlog of 7.3m NHS England hospital appointments; 6.24m individuals awaiting treatment.

2.8m waiting over 18 weeks or more.

NHS money depleted by PFI payments, privatization of services.

Farage prefers US style insurance-based system, millions won't get any healthcare.

Just listening to Derek Clark from the @rangersreview.bsky.social who assures us that JW is a far better player now so why not.

‘We never really thought the White House was going to release anything particularly incriminating or detailed.’

As two Congressmen look to start impeachment proceedings against the US Attorney General, @simonmarksfsn.bsky.social has the latest on the Epstein Files.

Covid fraud under the Tories cost the taxpayer £10.9 billion The counter-fraud and error measures during the pandemic under the Conservative Government were accused of being 'so lax they may as well have left the door wide open'

Covid fraud under the Tories cost the UK taxpayer £10.9bn.

VIP lanes and crony contracts.

Lack of anti-fraud controls in Covid scheme.
Money handed out for non-existent employees
Newly formed companies got public money
No competitive tenders
Poor checks on quality.

How much would be recovered?

Thames Water is a test for the British economy It is a particularly British paradox that one of the country’s biggest companies can both generate hundreds of millions in profit and be at imminent risk of bankruptcy. This is the story of Thames Wat...

Thames Water is a test for the British economy.

It profits by ripping off customers.
Pays dividends, doesn't invest.
Since March TW borrowed £1.47bn.
Paid £900m in fees/interest for the emergency financing.

Can't address crisis without public ownership.

UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of key industries since privatisation Analysis reveals ‘privatisation premium’ of £250 per household per year paid to owners of water, rail, bus, energy and mail services since 2010

UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of key industries since privatisation.

In public ownership that would have gone into infrastructure, lower bills.

Privatisation delivered low investment, high bills, no tax on dividends to foreign investors.

No end to nightmare without public ownership.

Utterly grim, another opportunity thrown away. Is there no end to this nightmare 🙄

Former Reform in Wales leader Nathan Gill jailed for pro-Russian bribery Nathan Gill, 52, is sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison after admitting taking bribes while an MEP.

Ex-leader of Reform UK in Wales sentenced to 10.5 years in prison for taking bribes for pro-Russia interviews and speeches.

Who else was involved,?

Party can now add treason to racism, misogyny, islamaphobia, economic illiteracy as its electoral credentials.

Trump's attack can rescue the BBC The BBC should use the threat of legal action to strike a blow for press freedom

Have written for the New Statesman about why, if he will not accept an apology, the BBC should welcome a Trump lawsuit. They should show guts and fight it because impartially matters and if they don't, they will have tacitly accepted a rewritten history.

The right can mock my teeth all it wants – it shows the Greens have struck a nerve | Zack Polanski As a politician, I expect opposition and debate. But when it centres on personal insults, not policies, something else is going on, says the leader of the Green party, Zack Polanski

Every personal attack.

Every attempt to distract or to divide.

It energises, strengthens and empowers our movement.

Lower bills. Tax billionaires. Join us.
