Stand in solidarity with the Odette Case claimants! Survivors of Typhoon Odette are taking Shell to court over its contribution to the climate crisis and the devastation of the super typhoon. Stand with them!

The claimants allege that Shell has known about the dangers of fossil fuels since 1965, yet kept expanding and misleading the public.

Survivors who lost everything are demanding accountability and justice for the harm already done.

So, Reform would rocket-boost austerity, slash welfare *but not taxes*, cancel net zero progress, do mass deportations, huff out of the ECHR (torching the Brexit deal and our human rights)โ€ฆ
And to top it all off, thereโ€™d be this gem of US-funded christofascist authoritarianism on offer too.

Trump โ€˜makes trade deal with UK second-order priorityโ€™.

Trump wants tax cuts for US tech companies; destruction of the NHS, food, environment, consumer, worker rights.

Don't want to be the 51st state.

Better off joining the EU, trade deals with Commonwealth countries.

House of Lords Taxes rich and poor 29 April 2025
YouTube video by Prem Sikka House of Lords Taxes rich and poor 29 April 2025

Poorest Britons pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest.

Result - poor food, housing, education, healthcare; pressure on public services.

I urged the Govt to cut taxes on the poor, increase them on the richest.

Watch the Minister's reply.

Great Britain National Insurance Fund Account for the year ended 31 March 2024

The UK's National Insurance Fund Account has a surplus of ยฃ86.4bn.

It supposedly funds pensions and benefits. But benefits cut, two-child benefit cap, winter fuel payment cut, the 1950s women denied pension rights.

Raided for Tory NIC cuts to the rich, NIC holidays in freeports.
