The government must ensure fair distribution of income 'The average real wage of workers has hardly moved from the 2008 level whilst bosses never had it so good.'

Democide in our times

Austerity, wage & public service cuts kill, but are govt policy.

Millions can't get good food, housing, education, healthcare, pension.

Men in poorer UK areas live 9.7 yrs less than those in least deprived areas. Women 8 years.

Govts silent on the human cost of fiscal rules

Lifetime of earnings not enough for UK workers to join wealthiest 10%, report says Research finds it would take average worker saving all their earnings for 52 years to match wealth of richest 10th of society

It would take the average UK earner 52 years’ worth of earnings to join the richest 10%.

Up from 38 years in 2006-08. Rich buy political influence.

Govts help the rich. Bottom 20% pay higher proportion of income in than the richest 20%.

Inequalities obstruct economic growth, fuel social unrest.

The UK household debt is over Β£2 trillion.

Debt once public now loaded to households e.g. student debt. Energy debt rising. People borrowing for healthcare.

Mortgages 7 times salary being issued. Soaring rents.

Real average wage stuck at the 2008 level.

What could go wrong?

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

UK subsidises energy prices in other countries.

Investors, state entities from Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Israel, Italy, Korea, Norway, UAE & the US own most of UK energy sector.

Β£514bn operating profit since 2020.

Profits/Dividends go abroad.

Britons pay the price of privatisation dogma.

More young people say rising bills now stopping them moving out A growing number of young adults now say the rising cost of running a home means they can't afford their own place.

Young people say rising bills stopping them moving out.

Low wages, insecure jobs and high cost of living. High rents and property prices; water and energy bills, council tax and insurance. Little chance of savings.

No govt curbs profiteering.

Renewables investments shifting from US to EU, says BloombergNEF Utility-scale solar investment fell 19% globally, led by mainland China, Spain, Greece, and Brazil, while EU spending rose 63%, says BloombergNEF (BNEF).

β€˜Global renewable energy investment reached a record $386 billion in the first half of 2025, a 10% increase driven by offshore wind and small-scale PV…United States recorded the largest decline, with committed spending down $20.5 billion, or 36%…EU investment rose nearly $30 billion, or 63%’

Here they are. Our two undefeated rikishi going into Day 5 of Aki:
Yokozuna Hoshoryu and Sekiwake Kirishima.

Tonight--Kirishima faces Aonishiki (their head to head: 0-1)
and Hoshoryu meets Atamifuji (head to head: 3-5).

What are the chances I can post this same pic of unbeatens tomorrow?

Onosato and Hoshoryu off to hot starts as other contenders fall Onosato has been dominant while Hoshoryu, who is returning from injury, has had to work harder for his wins.

Onosato and Hoshoryu are off to fast starts at the Autumn Basho, raising fans hopes of seeing a title-deciding yokozuna showdown on Day 15 for the first time in five years.

β€˜We’re in big trouble’: pope concerned at Elon Musk’s trillion-dollar proposed pay Pope Leo criticises executive pay packages and talks about gap between rich and poor, in his first media interview

Barbarians at the Gate

Pope Leo criticises pay packages of Elon Musk and other corporate chiefs.

Millions/Billions toil in poverty.

Super rich use wealth to fund far-right groups; buy political parties, legislators, media, ferment social unrest, manipulate democracies.

Need wealth taxes.

We lost the major healthcare system in our district, in part, due to insufficient Medicaid Funding.

The obscene Medicaid cuts in the Big Ugly Bill are threatening our remaining systems, so it's no surprise nobody was able to step in and try to keep the place running.

β€˜Utter madness’ as Post Office paid law firm double the cost of scandal public inquiry | Computer Weekly The Post Office legal representation at public inquiry into Horizon scandal cost twice as much as the actual inquiry

The Post Office paid law firm Β£86m for dealing with the public inquiry into the scandal.

30 years later victims await compensation for false prosecutions. Despite evidence no exec charged.

Fujitsu, lawyers, advisers complicit. Made millions in fees. No contribution to compensation fund.

Why the reshuffle alone won’t change the government’s fortunes "For better electoral fortunes, the government needs to junk neoliberal policies, never-ending austerity; directly invest in infrastructure and redistribute income and wealth."

UK govts appease corporations and the super-rich, people navigate crumbling social infrastructure.

Hard to see GP/Dentist
Shortage of social housing.
Sewage in rivers.
Sky-high energy prices
6.25m in England await 7.4m hospital appointments.
Unchecked profiteering.

Must abandon neoliberalism.

Earnings and employment from Pay As You Earn Real Time Information, UK - Office for National Statistics Monthly estimates of payrolled employees and their pay from HM Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC’s) Pay As You Earn (PAYE) Real Time Information (RTI) data.

UK employee median wage Β£30,816 (net Β£25,707).

Millions barely survive, bosses collect up to 1,112 times average wage.

37% on Universal Credit claimants are at work. People surviving on food banks, charity.

Can't revive economy without redistribution.

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

UK public has paid Β£200bn to shareholders of privatised water, rail, bus, energy and mail services, mostly foreign owned.

Investment neglected. Regulators useless.

Often little/no competition, captive customers fleeced,, more pushed into poverty.

Privatisation is one of the biggest scams.
