Farage - grifting multimillionaire and highest earning MP
Tice - family money multimillionaire
Yusuf - multimillionaire
Jenrick - millionaire
Zahawi - multimillionaire

But they want to cut the National Minimum Wage down from ยฃ12.21 per hour. (It goes up 50p in April.)

God, theyโ€™re hideous.

Problem is, Jenrick, you can go on #r4today and bemoan the state of the economy and the cost of living, you can claim to be oh so concernedโ€ฆ but we all know youโ€™re full of shit. We know you donโ€™t care. You spent years failing us as a Tory. Youโ€™ve swapped rosettes, not had a personality transplant.

Now the rest of them. Not just the sex offenders, but all those named in the Epstein files whoโ€™ve used their power and influence to undermine our democracy and sell the country out.

UK biggest companies rack up debt to pay dividends to private equity owners.

$2.7bn debt-fuelled dividends over the past 5 years.

Darktrace, Aggreko, Homeserve and Signature Aviation facing higher debt.

Law prevents discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender, marital status, race, religion and sexual orientation.

Plan to increase youth minimum wage could be delayed Government sources tell BBC News they could slow down plans to make minimum wage equal across age groups.

To appease bosses UK govt plan to increase youth minimum wage may be delayed.

Young workers pay full cost of essentials. Their output is not sold at a discount but are denied full minimum wage.

Govt can help. Adopt Scottish policies. Abolish uni fees, provide free bus travel for young people.

We need to get serious about tackling corruption through political donations The government's reforms are welcome but they won't end political corruption

Political donations = corruption.

Super-rich buy influence and power.

Parties reward them - organize threatening issues off the agenda, provide tax perks to the rich, crony contracts, VIP lanes, honours.

Can't have democracy without banning political donations.
