Manchester, minutes ago. What makes me so sad, the riots and all violence we are witnessing is based on misinformation and lies. Much of which can be corrected by responsible reporting grown up and discussion by politicians.
🚨🇮🇱🇺🇸 US Congressman Brian Mast: “I think ISRAEL should go in there and kick the sh*t out of them, just absolutely destroy them, their infrastructure, level anything that they touch.”
Today 100,000s of workers are striking for fair pay.
When Tory Ministers claim that public sector pay increases in line with inflation are unaffordable, that is a lie.
A Wealth Tax of 1.5% only on wealth over £5m would raise £16 Billion. That could easily fund it.
Outrageous
• MPs’ Menu in Parliament: “Pressed duck leg and caper terrine with celeriac & mustard remoulade
& sour dough toast” — Cost: £4.52 (subsidised by you).
• NHS Staff Menu in Hospital: “Macaroni Cheese” — Cost: £7.25 (paid by NHS nurses).
Nurses are highly skilled & we need fifty thousand more.
They want a pay rise to take their salary to half that of Tory MPs.
At the height of Covid devoted nurses risked their lives whilst MPs were clapping on their doorsteps.
Support the nurses now, their fight is your fight.
Total wealth of Britain's billionaires
▪️2012: £212 Billion
▪️2022: £653 Billion
That's up 3-fold.
Remember that when you hear Tory MPs saying we need public service cuts.
We don't need more austerity - we need a Wealth Tax on extreme wealth!
• Firefighters don’t get a bonus for saving lives
• Nurses don’t get a bonus for saving lives
• Doctors don’t get a bonus for saving lives
• Teachers don’t get a bonus for teaching children
Why should Bankers get bonuses for destroying our economy. Ban it altogether.
When you hear Jacob Rees-Mogg today claiming that fracking is the way to solve our energy crisis remember this: renewable power is now NINE times cheaper than gas.
