So very true. He has stated in an interview that if they get to government, he will attack disabled ppl 1st, harder than Labour. You all have been warned ⚠️, just like Starmer warned & nobody listened. Deform, red/blue Tories on steroids.

Green leader Zack Polanski calls for Farage’s resignation over tax, on BBC Any Questions:

"Farage has changed his personal business to make sure he could avoid tax for his appearances on GBNews. That’s perfectly legal, but is that in the Nolan Principles? Absolutely not. [He should] step down too.”

There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth.

It is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.

Closing our staggering wealth gap is crucial to the survival of our economy and our democracy.

If you're young
Or old
Or a woman
If you've got a disability
Or, you've a SEND
If you're LGBTQ+
Or you're from an ethnic minority
If you need care
Or you're in the forces
And if you're in Northern Ireland
Then Farage's plan to abolish human rights law is going to screw you

UK media is a far right PR machine.

Journalists really need to face up to what they are enabling.

If Farage ends up f***ing up Britain, we will all know who helped it happen.

Israel bombed a hospital.

Rescue workers and reporters rushed to recover the dead and the wounded.

Israel bombed the hospital again. Live on TV.

Read that again.

Our government’s legacy will be its complicity in crimes against humanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Genuinely unreal. Not only do your taxes fund bombing a hospital, and then waiting until more journalists and rescuers rush to the scene to bomb it again β€” they also fund the perpetrator telling you to your face that it was all just a β€œtragic mishap.”

If you don't love Nigel Farage give this a Like.

If you hate him, give it a RT.

Shell and BP are taking 30x as much money out of the UK as it costs to look after Asylum Seekers.

Not one person in the Media ever mentions that.

I wonder why?

Nigel Farage wants to end sick pay, he wants to destroy the unions, he wants to get rid of the State Pension, he wants US style Healthcare.

The only person he will benefit is billionaires.

Corbyn: Something is stirring all over the UK You can sign up to build a real alternative to poverty, inequality and war, says Jeremy Corbyn

We will never descend into the gutter of blaming minorities for the problems in our society.

It is the unity of all communities that can take on the rich and powerful β€” and win.

All is not well down on the allotment Pressure to build housing may threaten our treasured allotments

Jeremy Corbyn and the Telegraph agree on something: allotments are under threat. Councils see £££, so who’s standing up for them? Ginny Smith looks for answers ‡️

Record salaries for UK chief executives as pay rises for third year in a row Report finds more than Β£1bn handed out to just 217 FTSE 100 bosses in the last financial year

Record salaries for FTSE 100 CEOs, pay up for third year in a row.

Median pay Β£4.58m; Β£58.9m at Melrose; Β£18.9m at Person.

122 times the salary of the average full-time UK worker.

16m Britons live in poverty. Millions rely on food banks and charity.

37% of Universal Credit claimants are in work.

How Spain put up wealth taxes - without chasing away the billionaires Amid calls for Rachel Reeves to bring in a new levy for the super-rich, Madrid offers lessons for policymakers

How Spain put up wealth taxes - without chasing away the billionaires.

Yet the 'don't tax the rich' brigade constantly scare people.

Wealth tax isn't just about revenued. It reduces inequalities, capacity of the rich to bribe, pollute, hijack democracy, hold governments to ransom.

People have forgotten because it was so long ago but the 1880's-1930's were crippled by mass strikes, workers walkouts and even full scale revolutions.

Only because of these were your Rights, which are now being destroyed, won.

In the 1950's, 60's and 70's when things needed to be done the Government did them.

Now they beg billionaires to do them and give them vast sums of money.

And nothing gets done.

Let's bin the billionaires.

As an 80 Yr old I find 1 of the fears of old age is not being of any use. I note 2/3 of those arrested in London on Saturday were over 60, not worried about any damage to their career. Some will incur legal expenses. Help them here :
