Slashing the benefits of the poor to reassure investors panicking about unfunded tax cuts for the rich has to be the most unapologetically evil domestic policy inflicted by a British government for generations
“Demand a change in direction. We need to tax the rich properly, not give tax cuts to millionaires. It’s time to take to the streets.”
@RMTunion’s Mick Lynch explains tomorrow’s #EnoughIsEnough protests in 50 locations across Britain.

It’s being reported today the Government may look to fund tax cuts for the richest on the backs of the poor with speculation ministers may reduce welfare benefits
It would difficult to comprehend a more shameful, vile & despicable Government
Tomorrow 115,000 brave postal workers will strike and take on the multi millionaire bosses once again.
They kept the country connected during the pandemic and now need your support.
RT if you stand with your postie.

Jeremy Corbyn was the first political leader in 34 years to call for wealth taxes, public ownership of national assets & a redistribution of wealth.
He was correct. They were wrong.
Gordon Brown 🔥 in Guardian today: ‘You cannot rely on a heartless government having a change of heart, but concerted action by the public can force a change of mind…The coming war must be against poverty, not against the poor.’
So reliance on food banks to feed the nation and now Coffey suggests we should rely on charity and volunteers to provide healthcare to UK citizens.
What about just using OUR tax money to provide life-saving healthcare to the people, instead of siphoning it off to your mates?
This government has put out an NHS plan which seems to pit NHS patients against staff, despite the fact that NHS staff have never worked harder to keep patients safe.
If you think NHS patients+staff need to stand together to demand more from this government, pls RT 💙
Between the banking crash and the start of COVID, the 1000 richest people in our country increased their wealth by £538 billion.
Over the same period the total income of workers in our country went down by about £433 billion.
Hoover-up economics in practice.
This is not the queue, stretching miles, to see Queen Elizabeth's coffin lying in state.
This is the queue for a charity food bank in the capital city of the world's fifth richest country.
Anyone? Seriously, anyone know any of these ridiculous toffs who are absolutely loaded because they were born or married into "the family"?
It is time for a reckoning. In a hundred years kids will be baffled by this nonsense.
Can't decide if they should have called Dopesick "Capitalism Can Go Fuck Itself" or, perhaps more accurately, "Unrestrained Capitalism Will Not Rest Until It Kills Us All".
Nye Bevan was suspended/expelled three times by the Labour machine.
Today, he is immortalised among the gods of great Labour icons.
And so it is also for Jeremy Corbyn. Up there with the best.
The fifth richest country in the world has more than 1,300 food banks over 15 million people living in poverty and is having its food delivered by the army.
