Trickle down is a lie and deregulating the financial system won't help people.

It's always fun to share home truths on the news.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

"The chancellor mentioned several measures yesterday to deregulate the financial sector... deregulation is not going to lead to the sort of growth that will benefit ordinary people... trickle down just doesn't work"

Best musical casting EVER.
Even better than - dare I say - Joel Grey in Caberet.

Tim Curry in MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND (1996) somehow finds the perfect middle ground between a serious pirate performance and complete Muppet insanity. Curry treats both with equal commitment, which is exactly why it works.

@BellaWallerstei We do apologise for any inconvenience.
Sadly, withholding one’s labour is the only voice workers have.
Every right we currently enjoy comes on the back of generations of trade unionists taking strike action.

Economist @gabriel_zucman explains how Amazon boss Jeff Bezos paid no income taxes in 2011 despite being worth around $18 billion at the time. Instead, Bezos filed for and received $4000 worth of ‘family benefits’ due to low income 🤯 #taxthesuperrich

I'm sorry, call me a prick, but I wont stop talking about Arsenal sacking their kit manager of over a decade for sharing pro-palestine posts, only to then go hire an Israeli sponsor. Just wrong.

Yes, except that time we spent £1 Trillion on benefits for banks and bankers.

At least 40% of #UniversalCredit claimants are in employment. They claim because their employers do not pay them enough. The overwhelming majority are working class women in low paid jobs, many work in care. The solution is a proper living wage not attacking the working poor.

[Transparency Task Force @TransparencyTF]

📢 We are pleased to share a press statement regarding an important new project that the APPG on Investment Fraud and Fairer Financial Services has embarked on.

It’s about looking into the City of London Corporation; and very importantly it’s about inviting you to have your say, via a short and simple survey.

The project examines whether the City of London Corporation should be drastically reformed or even abolished altogether. Perhaps reform or abolition could lead to a significant reshaping of our financial services landscape, for all the good reasons given in the statement.

This initiative is being led by Green Party member of the House of Lords Natalie Bennett @natalieben .

And if you do want to take the opportunity to have your voice heard please complete the online survey, which is available for you here; 👇

https://t.co/iGJe7zQIyL

we won’t be publishing respondents; email addresses or names, so please do take this opportunity to share what you think.

Why is this issue so relevant to TTF members?

Because the project is all about exploring whether the City of London Corporation is as fair, democratic and transparent as it should be; and as you may already know the City of London Corporation has a significant degree of influence over how the financial industry is run - the press statement explains the ‘interesting’ role of the City Remembrancer, whose job is to influence financial services legislation.

The full statement is available for you here 👇

El efecto de un solo árbol en la calle es equivalente a cinco aires acondicionados del tamaño de una habitación funcionando 20 horas al día. Si nuestra ciudad se llenara de calles como esta la vida en verano sería mucho más agradable.

Tesco make £3 billion plus profits and yet nearly ALL of their shop floor staff are in receipt of universal credit. Shareholders and profits directly subsidised by the taxpayer.

Tescos are the benefit scroungers.

How hard can it be to outlaw this?

[Isabella M Weber @IsabellaMWeber]

Maybe it’s time for Labour to change its name to Capital?

The proposal they did not dare to push through is *voluntary* price caps for *essential* food items. This is rolling out the red carpet for Reform.
