Today I asked the Government why taxpayers are subsidising poverty pay.
The DWP says 1.2 million people are working full-time but still rely on Universal Credit because their wages are too low.
I asked whether large employers will be required to report how many of their workers need Universal Credit.
Work should pay enough to live on. No one working full time should go hungry.

Olandria on the Omnicom panel:
“Authenticity does not mean you have to share everything. Don’t get me wrong, I humanize every part of my story. I never just share the good because no one’s life is all rainbows, right? If I only shared the good, I wouldn’t have the big support system that I have. I tell them the ugly parts of my story — how I got through college, how I had to fight my way to financially provide for myself to get that degree, because I’m a first-generation college student. I’m the first person in my family to even graduate high school. I’ve been paving the way for a very long time, and I’m continuing to do that. But when it comes to authenticity, I try to protect what’s mine. Anything that I can protect and have sacred means the most to me. Authenticity does not always mean you have to share all parts of you. There are a lot of things that people still don’t know, and maybe I’ll come out one day and decide to share those parts of me, but right now, I’m going to keep them safe.”

you not black first. or a woman first. you’re a black woman. that’s it. your experience with misogyny is unique because of racism. your experience with racism is different because you’re a woman. the term ‘intersectionality’ exists because our experience is so unique.
This is Blackstars Defender Adjetey. His great-grandfather, Sergeant Cornelius Francis Adjetey, was shot by the British Colonial Police during a peaceful protest in Accra on February 28, 1948.
hey really quickly to the girl dads, if you have young girls ALWAYS come to the women’s restroom, us girls do NOT care, we don’t care that you’re protecting your girls and making sure they’re safe, a WOMAN will never ever argue with you about that, protect your girls, always!!!!!
This father was on a road trip with his two young daughters & they needed to go to the restroom so he stopped at a QT & took them in the women’s restroom since no one was in it & a man came yelling at him to get out & called the cops.The girls were crying & then he assaulted him.
I see Esther on such a personal level. Trying to down play her impact is insane. Trying to rewrite history is insane.
And they have proven if they can do it to one black woman they will do it to all. So having these obtuse discourses thinking you’re above this treatment is very telling.
“When you’re k!II!ng Zimbabweans, Mozambicans, Nigerians, Somalians here in South Africa and calling them all sorts of names, today you’re holding a placard and saying Black Lives Matter when you support the k!II!ng of your own fellow black brothers & sisters in South Africa. We must not say South Africa first, we must say black first”

🇹🇬🚨 URGENT: Togo just declared war on the map.
The foreign minister is going to the UN to demand a world map that actually shows Africa's true size. No more Mercator projection. No more colonial cartography that makes Europe look massive and Africa look tiny.
Africa is bigger than China, India, the US, and most of Europe combined. But on your classroom map, it looks like an afterthought. That is not an accident. That is propaganda.
The West will fight this because the map shapes the mind. Make Africa look small, and people treat it as small. Change the map, and you change the story.
Togo just called out the lie. The Global South is rewriting the map. Finally.
BREAKING : 🇺🇸 NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani called out Trump for spending billions to kill people in 🇮🇷 Iran
Journalist — Are you against Iran War?
Mamdani — We are talking about a war that killed thousands of civilians, so yes I am dead against it 🔥
Journalist — Does it frustrate you seeing $900 million a day getting wasted on such wars?
Mamdani — We are spending tens of billions of dollars to kill people, that money could have been used to make life easier for our people
“We always seem to have money for war, but not to feed the poor” 🔥
Finally a sane voice from within the United States, we need more such people at the top who can lead the world towards peace. Respect 🫡
The UK controlled Iran's oil for decades getting 84% of the profits.
When Iran tried to take it back in 1951
The CIA & MI6 launched a coup.
They overthrew democracy, restored the Shah, and secured the oil.
That's the real history they don't teach.
🚨| Sir Lewis Hamilton: "I think (Africa) is the most beautiful part of the world and I don't like that the rest of the world owns so much of it and takes so much from it and no one speaks about it. And I'm really looking forward to and hoping that the people that are running those different countries all unite and come together and take Africa back."
"That's what I want to see. Take it back from the French. Take it back from the Spanish. Take it back from Portuguese and the British."
"It's so, so important for the future of that country and for that continent. I mean, they have all the resources to be the greatest and most powerful place in the world and that's probably why they are being controlled the way they are."
[F1 2026 Australia Press Conference]
President of Spain Pedro Sanchez:
"Spain doesn't have resources like Oil reserves or Nuclear bombs but that doesn't mean we will not fight against imperialist Israel and try to stop them"
Some wars are fought to be on the right side of History!!
Man with a spine !!
The man who ra*ped and kiIIed children is now trying to convince you that he’s attacking Iran to protect you from a danger that doesn’t even exist. You’re more likely to be kiIIed by a cop, an ICE agent, an armed white teenager, or an “IsraeIi” than by Iran.
Americans are fucking embarrassing, uneducated self-centered idiots. This isn’t about you. You know who actually hasn’t experienced peace in DECADES at the hands of your tax dollars & leaders - PALESTINE. SUDAN. CONGO. CUBA. IRAN. AFGHANISTAN. SYRIA. Americans are NOT victims.
What Africa gives to the world, Europe doesn't have. America doesn't have. Asia doesn't have.
Yet they come. They take. They leave. Then they call us inferior.
The First Lady of Sierra Leone said it. Let it land.
The wealth was always ours. The story just got buried. It's time to dig it up.
The pandemic taught one lesson above all: the Global North will let you die before it shares a patent and loses a sliver of profit. Cuba broke the order — made its own vaccines, shared its tech. That is why they're being strangled. For showing that a different world is possible.
