Reminder: in 1974 the higher marginal tax rate in UK was 83%. Now it's 45%. Just saying.

Two hard truths from the #UKBudget:

๐Ÿ“‰ For you, a stealth tax hike: freezing income tax thresholds will drag more earnings into tax, as wages rise with inflation.

๐Ÿ“ˆ For Big Tech, a likely win: swapping UKโ€™s specific Digital Tax for the delayed global deal means big tech giants will be paying less.

User Clip: Sen. Ron Wyden says 'follow the money' on Epstein, cites $1.1 billion in wire transfers Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee, cited a Treasury Department file showing nearly 4,725 wire transfers totaling $1.1 billion in one Jeffrey Epstein account.

Unfortunately the claim that Trump make such wire transfers is incorrect. This is a pice ot text stiched up on old content (July 2025) with stuff pacthed on it.

The party of Attlee and Bevan is gone. Sadly, so very true.

I am an immigrant and grateful to this country. My suggestion is to join people who care.

Private equity own Morrisons in the UK,they've infiltrated our country too. I am sick of their asset stripping our country. But yet again our politicians enabled this.

@barrygardiner.bsky.social you are my MP, a decent person, but this is not acceptable. I am completely unhappy about the new immigration policies being pushed by @teamlabouruk.bsky.social and you lost my vote: hopefully labour lost all votes in my neighborhood. I will do my best to make sure of it.

This is absolutely horrible and cannot be condoned. Confiscating valuables from people fleeing war is beyond belief, even considering the option is shameful. The current leadership should just quit in shame, go away and be replaced with somebody compassionate and who cares. I did not vote for this.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

These guys are one of the only voices in the UK economics/tax space campaigning for higher taxes on wealth.

They're asking for donations to keep doing this work.

Yes, and this happens because all resources and assets are being eaten by the super rich. Even governments need to sell their assets to stay afloat, and the 1% is eating those as well!

Exactly this๐Ÿ‘‡.
Most people talking about rejoining ignore that we cannot as Freeports are not allowed in EU (one of the reasons some people wanted Brexit)โ€ฆso the UK public gets ripped off internally and externally.
I really feel we should be talking more about this internal corporate colonisation!
