Fun fact: I qualify for UC on a nurse‘s fulltime salary in London
Maybe tough love the super wealthy & tax them more to pay the rest of us better wages
I'll tell you who does 'rely on benefits'. It's the supermarket chains that pay their bosses millions of pounds a year while driving shopworker wages down to levels that force staff to claim Universal Credit.

As we watch hollywood barrel towards a paramount Warner bros merger, this movie should remind us of what may be lost. The relationship between movies and journalism is without question one of the most important parts of a democracy. Having choice in a multi studio system with a news media that is completely independent of those studios cannot be undervalued, nor its importance overstated. This movie would not have been made in a Paramount/Warnerbros/CNN /Trump era. Just never would have happened. That’s what’s at stake. Trump and Hegseth have told us so. “Separation between News and Power”. Should be our new “separation between church and state”.

The Geneva Convention says it’s a war crime to target journalists, even if they work for an enemy organisation. It’s also a war crime to target medical workers. After the killing of 3 Lebanese TV journos last week, several medics coming to help them were killed as well.
Look at this photo.
A woman holds up a noose and a lethal injection, celebrating Israeli plans to introduce the death penalty for Palestinians.
Her husband holds a gun labelled 'occupation', a plane labelled 'expulsion', and a house labelled 'settlement'.
This grinning, leering spectre is the deputy speaker of the Knesset, the Israeli Parliament.

Human Rights Watch documented Israel’s use of white phosphorus munitions over the southern Lebanese town of Yohmor on March 3, firing the incendiary weapon over residential areas and sparking fires in at least two homes.
Ahmad Baydoun, an open-source intelligence researcher at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, mapped 248 Israeli white phosphorus strikes across southern Lebanon, finding 39% hit civilian areas.
Lebanese authorities say Israeli attacks have killed more than 1,000 people since March 2 and forced more than 1 million people to flee from their homes — at least 16% of Lebanon's total population.
Absolutely Lawless when it comes to killing and stealing land. Inside and out.
“Since 2020 Israeli soldiers and settlers have killed at least 1,100 Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, at least a quarter of whom were children, UN data shows. No one has been charged over any of these deaths.”

For the record, the president of the United States is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year.
