You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts.
You voted against banning fire and rehire.
You voted against day one sick pay for workers.
You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.
Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.
You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.

“This... feels very much like the Tony Blair of his 3rd term when he pursued what allies used to call was his flying F strategy... he didn’t give a flying F for what his party thought as he delivered home truths”
@nicholaswatt on Sir Tony Blair's Labour intervention
#Newsnight
This is a picture of Tony Blair and his son , who as it turns out just happens to have a company that will be paid £ 100 billion to develop and monitor .....DIGITAL I.Ds !! Another bonus for Blair himself is that he holds £ 375 million worth in shares in that company ! No wonder that digital ID is being pushed on us !
A good read on our country’smismanagement of a resource,that should have ensured infrastructure, education and health for future
generations,instead we went for the quick buck,and Thatchers tax cuts,compared to Norway who have prospered the whole population for many generations.
Norway and the UK drilled the same North Sea.
🇳🇴Norway got $2 trillion.
🇬🇧The UK got tax cuts.
Same basin,Same era.... Completely different outcomes.
Norway captured $30 per barrel in government revenue. The UK captured $11.
That gap, compounded over 50 years of production, is the entire difference.
Norway's model was simple: tax heavily (78% marginal rate), take direct equity stakes in fields via the SDFI, own part of Equinor, and put everything surplus into a fund invested abroad.
The Government Pension Fund Global now holds over $2 trillion in assets.
That's $390,000 per Norwegian citizen about 1.5% of all listed equities on earth.
The fiscal rule: only spend the 3% annual real return. Never touch the principal.
The UK started producing earlier, at lower prices, with a lower tax rate (40%) and no saving mechanism.
North Sea revenues flowed straight into the general budget.
Economists estimate the UK missed out on roughly £400 billion compared to a Norwegian style regime.
The windfall largely financed tax cuts in the 1980s rather than a fund.
Where things stand in 2026?
Norway's petroleum sector will generate $63 bn in net cash flow this year alone feeding a fund already large enough to cover 10-15% of the national budget from returns alone.
The UK is a net energy importer.
Since 2021 it has paid countries like Norway more than £100 billion for gas.
One country treated oil as a finite resource to convert into permanent financial wealth.
The other treated it as income.

The Sun, the Daily Mail and the Daily Express have spent years investigating Unite donations, Labour funding and now anything Zack Polanski.
A sitting party leader receives an undisclosed £5m from a Thailand-based crypto billionaire weeks before reversing his decision not to stand for parliament - and the same newspapers have almost nothing on their front pages.
James O'Brien is asking the same question. Is the answer bias - or is there another explanation?
I report here for @bylinetime that Reform UK’s treasurer and three other major donors who gave £1.55m to Nigel Farage’s party are all linked to a single address: One Hyde Park in Knightsbridge: the ultra-luxury apartment block long associated with offshore wealth, oligarch capital and secrecy.
