The news that people inheriting land worth at least £1 million will have to pay tax on it has drawn significantly more outrage from politicians and the press than the news that 1 in 3 children in Britain are now living in poverty.
Horrific scenes from Rufaida school in #Gaza where many mothers and children queuing at a malnutrition treatment point were killed and injured in an airstrike today.
At least two health staff of @UNICEF partner were also killed.
Our deepest condolences to the families and their loved one.
This attack serves as yet another stark reminder of the immense toll being inflicted on children and mothers in Gaza. They are not targets; they must be protected at all times.
These attacks against children must stop now.
The extreme Right are very loud rather than very popular. But as long as the media mistake loudness for popularity, the extreme Right will keep getting more airtime than their rivals. That’s not to underestimate the very real frustrations with politics that many of their supporters feel, but it does give us the first very real sign that the march of the Far Right is not as relentless and unstoppable as they would browbeat us into believing. It’ll be hard work and demand full attention, but they CAN be stopped. And that gives me hope.
US Presidents have set up torture sites, staged coups, ordered human experiments, invaded entire countries, ethnically cleansed indigenous peoples, enabled genocides. That the first Presidential conviction ever is over hush money to cover a sex scandal is… very telling I guess
A billionaire who is missing at sea viewing the Titanic is front page news.
300 migrants die in a boat off the coast of Greece and the British media talks about them like they aren’t human.
Average earnings in UK no higher than they were almost 2 decades ago, longest period of wage stagnation since the Napoleonic wars. Real average earnings at same level as they were in 2005, when weekly pay stood at £497 — same as April 2023.
@EssexPR@Conservatives Ah yes, so they voted for more ‘right wing’ and ‘low tax parties’ like Labour, Lib dems and greens! 😂
Do you even believe your nonsense?!
