Credit card debt is up.
Food prices are up.
Rent prices are up.
Suicide rates are up.
Homelessness is up.
People in this country are struggling to survive—which means you have to be a rich liberal or completely propagandized by the Democrats to believe Bidenomics is working.
A Tory MP is paid £86,584 pa

Doctors start their careers on £29,384
Tories are in no position to lecture doctors about wages.
Scrapping the 2-child benefit cap: £1.3bn
A 1% wealth tax on assets over £10m: £10bn
And we’re supposed to believe that ending child poverty is unaffordable?
Margaret Thatcher & Tony Blair converted the UK from a social democracy to a free-market capitalist state
The main consequence has been a total collapse in affordability for basic necessities
This is because they handed public utilities to shareholders who overcharge for profit
Water companies have collectively taken on £60bn debt, since they were privatised in 1989. Thames Water alone has debt of £14bn.
They have just budgeted for fines and taken profit at the cost of polluting our rivers & seas.
Privatisation has failed. Nationalise water now.
this equates to $1,217.65 every second for the first three months of this year.
before this clip is over shell would have made almost double what i take home a year, all whilst people starve and freeze in their own homes.
an absolute disgrace.
Jeremy Corbyn
• Refused his pay rise, giving to charity instead.
• Refused his £10k home working allowance, giving to charity instead.
• Claimed the lowest expenses of backbench MPs.
•Sticks to his principles & is unwavering in offering hope.
No wonder Starmer purged him.
Suella Braverman has claimed £25k for energy bills for a house she doesn't use.
Meanwhile an 87 year old woman, who worked until 82, has died from hyperthermia in her home because she was worried about the cost of heating.
When Jeremy Corbyn was leader he published his full tax return.
The press smeared him for missing £thousands. Turned out it was money he gave to charity because he refused to accept a pay rise.
With election in 18 months we need a united party to win a Labour government. This decision will be seen as divisive & brutal, victimising someone who has given his life to our movement. We need a campaign in CLPs & affiliates to reverse this decision. https://t.co/PB6ruFkfLI
In 3 days time, they are lifting the cap on bankers’ bonuses & cutting the profit taxes on energy corps.
Meanwhile your income tax is going up, your water bills are going up & your train fares are going up.
Starmer should focus on fighting injustice rather than bullying Corbyn
1 week today, we face the following price rises:
• Stamps ⇧ 15%
• Water Bills ⇧ 7.5%
• Rail Fares ⇧ 5.9%
• Energy Bills⇧ 20%
• Council Tax ⇧ 5%
But, hey, the cap on bankers’ bonuses is getting lifted so at least there is that.
Mugged in broad daylight
• Firefighters don’t get subsidised food for saving lives
• Nurses don’t get free parking for saving lives
• Doctors don’t get free travel for saving lives
• Teachers don’t get free energy for teaching children
Tory MPs refusing cost of living pay rises, get the lot.
Today, as Fire Brigades Union members voted to join the wave of strikes, I asked the Tory minister:
If he really cared about "minimum service levels", why won't he properly fund our public services, with fair pay rises for workers?
My constituency of Liverpool Walton is the most deprived in England.
It has not received a penny of the Levelling Up Fund.
Of the 80 successful bids in England, only half are in the 100 most deprived areas.
The Prime Minister's affluent constituency, however, received £19m.
As you open your gas bills today, please bear in mind that wholesale gas today is about a quarter of the price it was at the end of August.
You are being robbed and scammed by energy firms.
