Adhering to the ECHR is important!
If the Tories want out then you have to think why?
We should be adding more rights not stripping away those we have!

Don't forget, inflation is growth for the rich
The only way to combat inflation is to tax the greedy bastards

[🌹Nigel🌹♿️✊🏼🫶🏼💙 💚🫂 @laithar]

If not knowing the law is no defence, why is not knowing the facts allowed?
Politicians should know facts, not wilfully spread misinformation to suit their agenda
MPs should be disciplined for this kind of behaviour
It is becoming too common
And Farage inciting hatred too

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

Helen Whately being wrong again 🤦🏼‍♀️
This is getting boring, at this point.

Why are people like her able to keep their jobs when she’s so incompetent and can’t fact check a single thing? Plus all we pay her in salary, rent, bills etc 🙄

The increase in UC claimants aren’t new claims. They’re people being migrated over from legacy benefits like ESA. The DWP confirms this.

As govt pushes for us to fit solar panels on our roof, the energy companies continue to up the prices, reducing the saving we are making from the panels
Unless we can become self sufficient, the energy companies will continue to make us poorer
Make our utilities public owned
NOW!

[🌹Nigel🌹♿️✊🏼🫶🏼💙 💚🫂 @laithar]

PFI does not reduce govt spending
It increases it
The govt could do everything cheaper and create jobs in the process
However, it's not the govt that is the problem
It's the incompetent people we keep electing that are the problem
Cut the profits, cut the cost

[Thomas H. 💙 @THemingford]

Cut welfare to the bone and you do not create a stronger economy. You create unpaid bills, empty tills, worsening health, deeper poverty, and more pressure on councils, the NHS, charities, schools, and families. Poverty is expensive. Extreme poverty is even worse.

[We Own It @We_OwnIt]

Last month Keir Starmer spoke about “public ownership in the public interest” for British Steel. But he is ignoring another piece of critical national infrastructure that supports the economy – the water company that stopped meeting its licence conditions in July 2024.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
MPs call for government to kick Palantir out of the NHS

[Patricia @PatriciaNPino]

The BoE is the only major central bank still actively selling bonds/gilts. Those sales push yields up.

Bailey then points to those yields to lecture the Government on fiscal rules.

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

In the last 5 years...

- Energy bills have shot up by 54%
- Food prices are up by 39%

But wages? Just 36%.
And Universal Credit has risen by only 31%.

Costs are rising so much faster than incomes. THIS is why people are struggling to survive right now. 💔

[David McNab @[email protected] @DavidMcNab17]

The UK suffers from a crippling drop in demand. People are broke, unemployed, underemployed or underpaid. Private pensions are a con.
Reeves demands growth without public investment.

Double the state pension and institute a living min wage and a job guarantee. Then watch growth

[Rakesh Kumar @Rakeshhkumaar]

The problem isn’t that the state is everywhere. The problem is that capital seeks to turn everything into a commodity. Without public ownership and regulation, the market doesn’t stop at luxury goods; it reaches water, healthcare, housing, education, and every necessity of life, turning human needs into profit opportunities.

[Relearning Economics @RelearningEcon]

"The missing step in the standard Keynesian theory [is] the explicit consideration of capitalist finance within a cyclical and speculative context"

-Hyman Minsky

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Three quarters of UK workers not on track for moderate pension income.

Result of years of austerity, low wages, high cost of living.

Maximum state pension is less than 50% of minimum wage. Neoliberals want to end the triple-lock.

Poverty awaits millions
https://t.co/J4RWzcxq3a

[Steve Hall @ProfHall1955]

Only 9% looking at even a moderate pension. £700k needed for 'comfort'. Jobs precarious. Price rises making saving impossible. The financialised neoliberal system is finished but the majority believe it will 'self-correct'. The creditor-rentier class need taking down.

[🌹Nigel🌹♿️✊🏼🫶🏼💙 💚🫂 @laithar]

@ProfHall1955 I started work in 1979
Now disabled, I retire in 4 yrs
My job situation had been precarious the whole time
I was treated differently
Undiagnosed Autism & ADHD didn't help
Only one company offered a pension during that time
I only managed six years before redundancy
4k/yr + state

[🌹Nigel🌹♿️✊🏼🫶🏼💙 💚🫂 @laithar]

@UKLabour Even if it means paying MacDonalds to keep them flipping burgers or Amazon to keep them locked in the warehouse
The Netherlands pay up to 75% of the wage
It's not "unemployment benefit" cuz the youth is employed
Overall, it is more costly & it's a "bullshit job"
Sticking plaster

[Isabella M Weber @IsabellaMWeber]

We face a global crisis of livelihoods. Sticking with neoliberalism is the law of the jungle. An anti-fascist economics has to start from life’s essentials. This is what affordability is all about. And for everyone to be able to make a living of course the planet has to be saved.

@JoStevensLabour @UKLabour @WelshLabour @CardiffEastLab Woohoo!
Avocados & Olive oil
I feel rich already
No, seriously, they are they only two things as a diabetic that I can use after all the crap that I've apparently "chosen" to eat because I've never had enough money to buy the whole foods I desperately need
Most on the list is UPF

@DavidMcNab17 @afneil What upsets me is that people who purport to be on the left, who interview others on the left, repeat the same lies as if they haven't learned any lessons other than the one that propagates the myth
I was 16 when Thatcher came to power
I'm as poor now as I was then
No opportunity
