"working hard used to get you something.. but now, working hard, what does that get you? .. life has changed. Instead of working for a nice life, we're working to line the pockets of billionaires. We are being bled dry"

Reform are blaming 'muslim sectarianism' for a white working class woman, and a white gay Jewish man, winning a stonking majority in a predominantly white Christian constituency.
This is racist bile.

"To my customers: I am sorry, but I think I might have to cancel the work that you had booked in. Because I'm heading for Parliament"
I just thought I’d drop this here for all the idiots who would like to suggest that London is more dangerous than any major city in the U.S. or Europe.
It’s utter nonsense and the data proves it. It’s not surprising to note that the disinformation is largely being spread by UK right wing disinformation peddlers aided and abetted by US right wing talking heads.
Here are the facts, with thanks to the Economist for the clip. Oh and by the way, just 6.5% of the population are Muslims and 50% of them were born here.
There are 268,000 reform members out of population of 69.3 million. It’s just that they shout their lies the loudest. I’ve lived long enough to see it all before. MAGA is not coming to the UK rest assured of that.

Zack Polanski making the case for a wealth tax
Penny Mordaunt comes up with some random figures
Polanksi corrects her adding
"I'm not talking about hairdressers, plumbers, or people running small businesses. This is not a tax on ambition, this is a tax on people earning more money in their sleep than any of us could earn in our lifetime"
When PoliticsLive play Keir Starmer referring to those calling for a wealth tax as snake oil salesmen, Polanski responds,
"We need to bring CGT in line with income tax.. It's not just about a wealth tax"
"Every single pound we spend on public investment multiplies itself"
"It's outrageous as a country where people say the rich will get away with it. Well let's let them not get away with it. Let's make sure we tax people properly"
"This idea of austerity, trickle down economics, whether it's Thatcher, Blair, Cameron, Truss, Starmer, it has failed and failed, time and again"
"It's time for a new economic model and to turn our country around"
@bradyates_ No mate. He's the left back. Big, strong back 4. Bigger threat at set pieces, let's the attacking players flourish. Need a DM still, but a very good signing
