What kind of crazy world
do we live in, when someone
on 90k can claim for heating
costs, but someone on 12k
can't?
When you say that out loud,
it sounds even more shocking.🤔
51 years ago today, Salvador Allende, the democratically elected president of Chile, was overthrown in a bloody US/UK backed coup.
What followed were years of repression and death.
This is the story of the other 9/11

From today, 31% of the year left & 31% of your water bill pays ONLY for debts and dividends.
So all money from now until New Year goes to that!!!
When privatised there was no debt
Welcome to "free market economy" Tufton St, catastrophic UK😡

Rachel Reeves can make changes to capital gains tax, inheritance tax and national insurance to easily raise more than £20bn a year.
Punishing poor pensioners, children, cutting public services, inflicting austerity is a political choice.

Susanna Reid: "[an MP] on £91,000 is allowed to use taxpayers cash to pay for their energy bills but a pensioner on £11,500 can't claim winter fuel allowance?" #GMB
it is quite astonishing when you think about it.
For the next three months all of the money from your water bill will be spent on nothing but debt interest payments and dividends.
Not fixing the sewage system, not securing London's water supply, not providing a better service but greed, proffering and financial engineering.
And what was @Ofwat doing when all of this was going on?
I just voted against cutting the Winter Fuel Allowance.
For me, this was a matter of conscience. This cut is not only going to cause even greater hardship for so many pensioners in my constituency who are already living in poverty, but it will also cost lives.
@AngelaRayner Officially recognise the State of Palestine.
You’re still not doing it - even though you said you would.
Rayner >>> £25,000 accepted from the Israel Lobby.
The voting by Labour to retain the death sentence for thousands of pensioners yesterday dispels any suggestion they are not as bad as the Tories... they are actually worse.
I'm 72 , had been a Lab voter & member for much of my life. My parents were Labour, we used to hand fold leaflets for them in the front room. I can honestly say bar the Iraq war I've never been more disgusted with them. My parents would be horrified. I'm glad I voted Green!
How come the economy didn’t collapse when we paid out billions in furlough , gave Harding 37 billion for useless track and trace and paid billions more for useless PPE ?
