Amid a cost-of-living crisis, Birmingham bin workers were told to swallow an £8,000 pay cut.

Now they’re being vilified for refusing.

Victory to the workers! ✊🏽

The independent regulator has announced a £2,500 pay rise for MPs.

At a time when disabled people are facing the biggest cuts to disability benefits on record, this is simply wrong.

I’ll be donating mine to charities supporting disabled people in Coventry & across the country.

The government must scrap the cap NOW.

Barry Ferguson, Neil McCann and Billy Dodds were in the starting lineup. Dodds scored twice, and Kenny Miller & Tugay completed the comeback win

MAGAs don’t care about the debt….they just passed a budget blueprint that will cut $880B from Medicaid so that Trump and his billionaire friends get their tax cuts

Energy bills are set to rise again by 6.4% this April — while companies have raked in over £457,000,000,000 in profits since 2020.
