Labour have taken votes for granted for decades.

Stop Reform - and send this Government a message.

Support Hannah Spencer & the Green Party in Gorton & Denton!

I'm tired of people "liking" my #Epstein and #Trump posts.

The point, folks, is to "repost" them.

Spread the word about these two disgusting #pedophiles and #rapists

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode deficits

3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

Which tax rise would that be?

The one on private jet use?
The VAT on private school fees?
The capital gains tax rises?
The ending of non-dom status?
The tackling of tax avoidance loopholes?
The inheritance tax on large agricultural estates?

In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq.

Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent war crimes.

Now his government is banning Palestine Action for doing the same.

The Prime Minister is a hypocrite.

Politico: Up to 170 Labour MPs are thought to have signed letters to the whips opposing benefit cuts — "and they’re not too happy with...threats to kick them out of the parliamentary party if they defy orders"

“You can’t do that to 170 MPs,” one Lab MP said. “We’ll just go off and form Labour 2” 👀

OBR forecast UK household debt to hit £2,429bn in 2025.

Public debt shifted to households e.g. student debt.

Real wage cuts, higher living costs, more debt

Costs more to service private debt than public debt.

No govt focus on household debt.

Can't rebuild economy without redistribution.

Starmer backs Trump’s Iran bombing saying Tehran cannot develop a nuclear weapon Prime minister backs US president as he bombs Iranian nuclear sites and says key facilities 'completely and totally obliterated’

Starmer backs Trump’s bombing of Iran saying it ‘can never be allowed to develop nuclear weapon’.

Is UK going to be sucked into another US led war? No WMD in Iraq. Libya, Syria destabilised

Imperialist mentality of conquest, regime change causes more chaos.

Starmer's Labour had one job to do – to reverse the evils of Thatcherism and restore the people's faith in parliamentary democracy – and with a thumping majority he was given the tools with which to do it. He has utterly failed and will never be forgiven for paving the way for a Farage government.

Hi Tracey, taxes don’t pay for anything, Government Expenditure pays for things, Gov set budgets and the B of E is obliged to fund Government priorities! Taxes give the Government issued Fiat Currency credibility and control the money supply!

Reform is not a Left Wing party, Reform is an even more Right Wing version of the Conservative Party it offers nothing for anyone but the billionaires.

If you ever voted Labour you should never vote Reform.

Don't buy their empty lies.

Instead of voting for Reform just take a big shit in the toilet, now stick your head in and flush.

You have experienced Nigel Farage as PM.

PSA: money doesn’t grow on rich people, the federal govt can do all of this today with no tax changes. The best place to start is with a federal job guarantee

Tax does not pay for anything, it simply gives the fiat currency credibility, the UK spends 1.2 trillion per year via legislation!

I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again).

"The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties.
