Six out of seven UK kids live in poverty - map shows how your area fares A record-high 4.5million children across the country were found to have been living in poverty in the year ending March 2024 - 121,000 more children than the year prior

Six out of every seven children in the UK's most deprived areas living in poverty.

Result of political choices - low wages, austerity, unchecked profiteering, benefit cuts, inequitable distribution of wealth.

Future blighted.

Govts listen to donors/rich, ignore the rest.

HERO vs ZERO
I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

Love Barnsley and love this woman - more people like this and fewer racists please.

For any Americans reading this - Barnsley is a town in northern England surrounded by (ex)coal mining villages. Margaret Thatcher tried to destroy it, Reform target it - and this woman saves it!

Isabel Oakeshott (went to same school as King Charles) has moved to tax haven Dubai, such is her love of UK. Give me strength

Sir Keir Starmer was singled out for praise in the 2022 report.

The far right singularly fail to mention this fact.

Thank God Starmer is prime minister. Imagine if we had someone in that position desperately doing whatever Musk wanted, as Badenoch evidently would. This moment would amount the complete subordination of Britain to a foreign tech billionaire.

Sure it was shit.

Yeah it cost billions and achieved sweet FA.

But at least they owned the "wokes".

Suella Braverman just said that Italy built a wall on their land border with Turkey - a country 1,500 km from Italy. Moron or liar - you decide.

"To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed...The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish…"

NHS waiting lists: estimated 340,000 died awaiting treatment in 2022 More than half of people who died in England last year were on an NHS waiting list, according to statistics

Democide in our times

In England 300,000 people a year die prematurely awaiting hospital appointment.

Govts find money for wars, corporate bailouts/subsidies, tax cuts for the rich but neglect healthcare.

Old, poor sacrificed to the gods of neoliberalism. Casualties of class war.

Tufton Street payee Coutinho almost religiously believes that the price of fossil fuels is regulated by the UK government. Labour Secretary Ed Miliband gave her a schooling on what will - the nation-owned GB Energy. #ukpolitics

Elon Musk to give Farage Β£78 Million to be PM
YouTube video by Femi Elon Musk to give Farage Β£78 Million to be PM

Elon Musk and Nigel Farage are LAUGHING at working class people.

After YEARS claiming to fight against the global elites for the working classes...

Now Farage is using a global corporation's funding to deliver policies he ADMITS will make people poorer.

Oh god. The inevitable Daily Mail tantrum at a Labour govt edging towards a slightly less ruinous relationship with our own continent.
What do these idiotic nationalists want? Permanent hostility? Endless cost and loss?
β€˜Betraying’ Brexit is an act of patriotic necessity now, you howling clowns.

Saudi Arabia confirmed as 2034 World Cup football host by Fifa – as it happened Saudi Arabia will host the 2034 World Cup despite widespread human rights concerns while the six-nation 2030 bid was also ratified by Fifa

This world…

Profit and power over everything

Footballers have spoken out to try and quash this deal

But their governing body just can’t help themselves

What a disgusting example to set.

I remember when the working class had more self respect than to let posh privately educated pricks brainwash them into being racist or believing mad conspiracies. They profit from your bigotry for fucks sake. That’s why they’ve got you fighting culture wars - to stop you from starting a class war.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.

Now the UK owns nothing and has Β£3tn of debt.
While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of Β£10tn.

That's how privatisation 'works'.

When the right riot, they’re ’protesters.’ Actual protesters? ’Hate marchers.’

They’re β€˜concerned citizens’ and β€˜patriots.’ The rest? β€˜Traitors’.

They’re never β€˜fascists,’ just β€˜normal people.’ The rest? β€˜Commies’.

They have β€˜opinions.’ The rest have a β€˜woke mind virus’

Does my head in.
