In what is viewed as one of the most shocking UK hate crimes involving a Sikh in recent times, on 9th Sept a young woman was told "you don't belong in this country" before being violently sexually assaulted by two white men in broad daylight in Oldbury (Midlands, UK).

Police...

Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered in cold blood in their own home in June. The assassination was politically motivated by a right wing MAGA. There was no acknowledgment or lowering of flags by Trump.

A 'Dickensian struggle' yes that sums it up. That is what is happening in the country now. We are getting poorer & poorer everyday. Hopelessness is everywhere - its becoming unbearable

[Peter Apps @PeteApps]

Councils spend £1.6bn a year on 'temporary accommodation' for homeless families - which includes some of the worst housing conditions in the country.

But who is getting the money? A joint investigation between me, @Victoria_Spratt and @StephenD_ tried to provide an answer...

Empty council houses in Slough went an average of 260 days before being re-let due to a ‘botched IT switchover’ the Observer can reveal – as waiting times hit six years...

Poverty kills.

UK cancer death rates 60% higher for people living in deprived areas compared with those in affluent areas.

28,400 extra deaths due to deprivation.

Poor healthcare, late diagnosis, 'must work pressure' punishes the poor.

It is class war

[Jane Samuels @Jane_Samuels]

Our last Labour MP in opposition promised Labour would address the Waspi Compensation and held a huge public meeting. Labour in Govt’s first budget have not mentioned it.

[Blair Fix @[email protected] @blair_fix]

A thought experiment: what would happen to the US housing crisis if income inequality was returned to 1970 levels?

Answer: the crisis would disappear.

Here are some sample numbers.
