Shell CEO’s pay jumps 60% to £13.8m. Did yours?
Execs rewarded for profiteering.
Average real pay for workers hardly changed since 2008.
Govts claim worker pay rises are inflationary, but silence on exec pay, dividends, share buyback and corporate tax abuses.
18 months late, but better late than never
Absolutely ridiculous that Reeves and Starmer still refuse to recognize that Brexit was based on a pack of lies told by Johnson, a flatulent, incompetent, narcissist. The UK's place is at the heart of Europe

Did they tell you about the people who have lost their jobs as a result of Poundland closing ?
I agree - but then quite a few of Starmer's actions seem rather hard to understand
CMA investigates heating oil suppliers over ‘blatant profiteering’ from Iran war.
Profiteering is everywhere - water, energy, social care, vets, banking, dentists, housing ....
People pushed into poverty, economy stagnates.
Regulators/Govts close profiteers, nationalise essentials, but don't
It’s astonishing Mandelson received a £75,000 payout even after his longstanding links to Epstein were known.
New documents show the PM was warned about the risks of his appointment, but appointed him anyway.
Epstein’s victims deserve better.
Whether or not the Lords should be an elected 2nd chamber is a moot point, but changing the voting system for the HoC from FPTP to a form of PR is critical - though Starmer as ever, does nothing about it

Some of us complained about Johnson's payments too - but a fat lot of good that did us
The determination of Reeves and Starmer to keep the UK out of the EU SM and CU can now be seen in all its idiocy.

Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence.
Elon Musk is a threat to our national security and clearly not a fit person to operate in our energy industry.
We can’t have the lights go out because he’s having a strop on X.
PM's Chief Secretary Darren Jones says the govt paid £75k to Mandelson because it would have cost the taxpayer more to contest the payment.
Really poor reasoning. The govt should have contested payment to avoid giving cash to a man sacked for lying about the extent of his relationship with Epstein.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Mahmood is not fit to be a government minister, let alone a Labour gov't minister
I am not a lawyer, and I have never been sacked; but if I had been I would have been more than pleased to receive a wodge of spondulicks as I passed Go

Pensioners in poverty skip baths as water bills rise.
Full state pension (received by 35% of pensioners) is less than 50% of minimum wage.
2m UK pensioners live in poverty.
In 2024-25, 88,000 pensioners died in poverty.
Govts don't curb profiteering.
Poverty is a political choice.
Mahmood is unfit for office, she is poison
Obviously ridiculous to judge children on performance age 11. Interesting to hear about some who failed and went on to great achievements (eg John Prescott)
The contrast is absolutely clear
Labour focussing on mainstream inclusive schools where every kid is stretched and can thrive and find their path
Reform bussing a few lucky kids to a grammar school and dumping three quarters in a secondary modern
Nobody is worth £15.6m, and as the result of a 50% pay rise it is an obscenity
"We are at risk of losing both the argument & the election", says @stellacreasy.bsky.social
Time for True Labour, not Blue Labour.

How about what's happening in Mid-Sussex ? Don't you know about the people who have lost their jobs when Poundland HH closed, or is it simply that you don't care ?
One piece of advice for Starmer above all else it's this: get rid of Mahmood. She's poison.

Migration is part of what makes this country great.
We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours.
The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.
Mahmood is not fit for office
Principles ? What principles ?
Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.
Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.
Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.
Very true
About time too. The story of what has been going on behind and within Labour Together makes my blood run cold
