Labour threw me away. Socialist.

Neoliberals demanding tax cuts for the super rich want to abolish the state pension triple-lock.

Full state pension is less than 50% of the minimum wage.

2m pensioners live in poverty. 110,000 a year die in fuel poverty.

How many more will die?

@candi4changeSW @Isa_Smooch @solma_ahmed Candi sorry you have had such abuse, disgusting and upsetting for you, however the person responsible has already said they are not a YP member, ‘Warren’ might not even be their real name either so I don’t quite see what YP can do ?

"Socialists shouldn't use capitalist courts."
Except when they do.

A short piece on principle, practice, and a contradiction that's hard to ignore. ��

Curse of private equity.

US PE-owned dentists
Raise prices.
Stretch appointments for higher fees.
Focus from prevention to lucrative restoration procedures.
Unnecessary tooth extractions and root canals.
High staff turnover.

Curse arrived in the UK

The US probably has the biggest intelligence operation in the world and yet Pres Trump relies on an off-chance conversation with a rich friend to give him key briefings on geopolitics?

A year ago, Labour MP Joani Reid wrote this charming letter to Jeremy Corbyn demanding he "must decide" if he backs the UK government on foreign affairs. "The British public deserves to know", she said.

Today her partner was reportedly arrested on suspicion of spying for China.

@PlatformforaDP @TheCanaryUK Any evidence or is this just another attempt at wrecking ?

James Giles has blocked me so I cannot answer directly his cowardly and nasty comment. Nicola you do not deserve his bullying.

Cost of living crisis laid bare as almost half of Britons ‘have under £25 left at end of week’.

Real average wage unchanged since 2008.

24m Britons live below minimum living standard.

Poverty doesn't provide economic growth, justice, social stability.

A recently released audio recording captures disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and ex-Israeli PM Ehud Barak discussing the “gigantic” sums paid to ex-UK PM Tony Blair for his consulting work, and questioning his financial arrangements.

New polling delivers a political bombshell: Keir Starmer is less liked than Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro. His net favourability sits at a staggering -56. This isn't just unpopularity; it's a total absence of public connection.

We face a simple, stark truth. We cannot endure five more years of governance by caution.

London councils are deactivating protocols to house rough sleepers on the day where a -9°C arctic blast hit the UK. The move by the mayor is ‘life-threatening’ for those with nowhere warm to sleep. This is a Labour mayor & most councils. Despicable! https://t.co/0nYkposKWj

Chilling.

”the US will use its military “unapologetically” to secure US interests".

“nobody is going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland”.

"Western countries should not have given up their empires and colonies after WWII".

Reeves expected to reveal cut in UK growth forecasts for next 5 years.

Can't get sustained economic growth when:
16m live in poverty.
24m live below socially acceptable living standards.
Real average wage unchanged since 2008.
Profiteering unchecked

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Successive UK govts have failed to achieve sustainable economic growth because of:

Impoverishing the masses
Regressive taxation
Poor infrastructure
Unchecked profiteering
Low investment
Neutering public investment

When will govts change course?

Thank goodness for teenage foot stamping - from those who know the difference from right & wrong. Better than old foghorn here.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

The people protesting, many of them Jewish, are protesting against Starmer and the UK’s arming of Israel, a foreign government. They are not protesting against British Jews. It is Starmer here who is conflating British Jews with Israel - and doing the antisemites’ work for them.
