Some Tory and tabloid hypocrites keep banging on about Angela Rayner's one-off severance payment of £17,000 last year.
Maybe they should focus on the scandal of loopy Liz Truss receiving a PM's pension of £115,000 a year for life - after just seven disastrous weeks in office.
Thatcher sold off the country’s assets to the private sector who in turn have trousered billions whilst ripping us off. Because we don’t have any assets, the only way to raise revenue is to tax us, who ironically are the one’s being ripped off by those private sector corporations
It’s a bit rich of the water companies in England threatening hosepipe bans after just a few warm days.
3 billion litres of water every single day is lost through neglected and leaking pipes — that’s roughly one-fifth of the water supply disappearing before it reaches taps.
Since privatisation in 1989, they’ve sold off at least 35 reservoirs for a £26 million profit, while building barely any new ones.
They lecture the public on “saving water” while their own crumbling network haemorrhages billions of litres daily and they asset-strip the very infrastructure needed for water security during dry weather spells.
Fix your leaks. Build new reservoirs. Then come back and talk about hosepipe bans.
If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.
On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.
After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.
We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...
Arsenal haven't just won any league title... they've won it against Pep Guardiola.
The outstanding manager of his generation, one that has won 12 of the 17 League campaigns he's competed in.
The history books won't remember Arsenal as the team with the most points, wins, or even the team that did it playing the best football...
But they did what only Real Madrid, Chelsea and Liverpool (x2) have done in the last 18 years, and beat a Pep Guardiola team across 38 games.
No one can take that away from them.
Congratulations to Arsenal, deserved 25/26 Premier League Champions!
Wake up and immediately look at small screen before clocking 8 hours behind medium screen. Take a few breaks to check in on small screen. Go home and spend a few hours staring at big screen to wind down before getting into bed and looking at small screen.
Living the dream.
The media in a frenzy about Sue Grays salary of £170k per year, for one of the most important jobs in the UK.
What about the CEO of British Gas, who last year took home £8.2 million, whilst all our bills rocketed? Where's the outrage there?
It's quite true that Thatcher brought about meaningful change. Britain lost secure well-paid employment, social housing, trade union rights, final salary pensions and adequate funding for the NHS, social care and schools.
Nik Ferrari, 8 weeks into the new Labour government, asks:
"How much longer can they lay the responsibility of the last 14 years at the doors of the Conservatives?"
Umm, a bit longer.
Boris Johnson was still blaming Labour, 14 years in.
I hate how everything costing a fortune is so normalised now. What do you meeeean £150 for a concert ticket? What do you meeeean £100 for a train ticket? What do you meeeean £50 for a family to have a chippy tea? What do you meeean £7 for a single pint? Robbing bastards!!
▪️UK electricity standing charges have surged in recent years and are 147% higher than in 2021.
▪️Energy corporations have pocketed over £420 billion in profits during that time.
The cost of living crisis is the cost of corporate greed crisis. We are being fleeced.
Privatisation has never been about providing a cheaper, better service. It has always been about the rich stealing the assets we own and selling inferior services back to us at exorbitant prices.
