There's something deeply wrong with a country where people work all month, get paid, and immediately panic.

Payday should feel rewarding.

Instead it feels like a race against direct debits.

The money lands in your account and within 48 hours most of it has disappeared.

Rent takes a chunk.

Bills take a chunk.

Food takes a chunk.

Before you've even had a chance to enjoy earning it, it's gone.

You're basically just a middleman between your employer and everyone who wants your money.

The UK has somehow convinced people that working full time and still being broke is completely normal.

With a steady voice despite her arrest, this British girl exposed what is happening in London: They assaulted us, spread hate speech, and when we exposed them for auctioning off West Bank land, the response was to arrest us, not the aggressors!

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Absolute chancers. Nationalise water. Now.

And keep it in public hands forever.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Hope the ministerial car was worth selling out the Palestinian people.

[Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott]

Some people heard Farage's call for pure rage and decided to burn people out of their homes. Now he wants to use the State to achieve the same ends.

Former Home Secretary Yvette Cooper was warned that proscribing Palestine Action could prejudice the trial of 6 activists but went ahead anyway.

Please RT this until Yvette Cooper is charged with Contempt of Court.

Thank you.

Israel is dropping toxic chemicals on farmland in South Lebanon

We’re talking about catastrophic levels of glyphosate, a chemical linked to cancer

11,000 times above safe levels

This is a deliberate war crime aimed at making life impossible and forcing people out of their land

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Today the Court of Appeal upheld the Labour government’s proscription of Palestine Action by saying they aren’t a peaceful civil disobedience group like the suffragettes and that Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, is "a company pursuing a lawful business."

The suffragettes bombed the Chancellor's house, planted a bomb outside the Bank of England, burned down churches and train stations, and smashed up art galleries.

Palestine Action destroyed drones used to kill Palestinians in Gaza because Elbit's “lawful business” is arming a genocide.

The British state is rewriting history and dismantling our legal system to protect Israel, a genocidal apartheid state.

The UK economy basically works like this:

Get paid £2,000.

Give £900 to a landlord. Give £200 to the council. Give £150 to energy companies. Give £300 to supermarkets. Give £300 to car insurance and fuel.

Spend the rest surviving until next payday.

Then get lectured by someone who bought their house for £37,000 in 1988 about how you need to stop buying coffees and cancel subscriptions.

"The starting gun on the London mayoral race in 2028 has already fired. With your help, your work and your organisation, that is a race the Green Party is going to win."

Can we all stop pretending Labour are in some way different from any other neoliberal project?
They're not, they're the same.
This is the Uniparty made flesh.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

The fact that your government has made it illegal for me to answer yes is a damning testament to your flagrant disregard for civil liberties.

This may be targeted at those taking action against the genocide, but it sets a very dangerous precedent that puts everyone at risk.

Welfare breakdown:
50% pensions
40% people IN work & that will go up when they force people into any job
10% unemployed or sick or disabled
Seems they have decided the 10% must be punished instead of forcing companies to pay a decent wage so the 40% don't have to claim anything

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Read that again:

“The average terror suspect arrested in England and Wales is now a white woman in her 50s.”

That’s because of the proscription of Palestine Action.

It is absurd. It is self evidently absurd.

And history will damn every last person implicated

[Gordon Dimmack @GordonDimmack]

One of these people is an 83 year old Priest who held up a sign expressing her right to free speech. The other has decapitated his political enemies with a knife.

Guess which the UK government calls a terrorist, and which gets invited to number 10 for dinner.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

This isn't 'shame' this is a War Crime and under UN law it is punishable by an unlimited fine for compensation and return of the land to the rightful owners.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is absolutely insane.

The suffragettes used far more extreme tactics than Palestine Action.

They planted bombs, burned down private homes and smashed up art galleries.

They killed five people!

Her outrageous judgement is based on absurd historical ignorance.

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

The case for Labour to introduce a wealth tax has never been stronger.

99% of us are paying, in total, 40% to 50% tax on our incomes, billionaires are paying 25% at most.

2% levy on fortunes above £100m could begin to reverse decades of rising inequality
