Multi-millionaire Iceland boss wants to axe pension triple lock.
Full UK state pension (received by 35% of pensioners) is less than 50% of minimum wage.
Millions can't save for private pension
2m pensioners live in poverty. 110000 a year die in poverty.

South West Water fined £1.853m for supplying contaminated drinking water.
SWW is a serial offender, loses 107m litres of water daily to leaky pipes, dumped sewage in rivers for 407,006 hours.
Still trades. No exec fined, charged. People fleeced.

Britain’s voting system is broken. 70 MPs are backing an amendment to finally review it.
But to make an impact, we need many more. I’ve urged my MP to support it with this tool. Can you contact yours too? https://t.co/QWzQJ3US7o
If England can hit 35°C in May in 2026, imagine July 2036. The concerning part isn’t just the heat itself…it’s that little or no serious planning is being put in place for what’s coming. Cities, housing, schools, healthcare, infrastructure… all dangerously unprepared.
The earliest 35°C ever recorded in the UK is currently June 28th, 1976.
It’s highly likely we will reach 35°C today, beating the previous record by more than an entire month.
If that isn’t unprecedented / extreme then I don’t know what is.
The record temperature for May was broken by an entire 2C today, and tomorrow it is likely to be even warmer.
The Met Office has been recording temperatures all around the UK for 173 years.
This is not a blip it is a very serious problem.
The level of ignorance here regarding climate change is simply astonishing.
This is an existential threat to the human species and yet there are still some saying things like,
"It's summer" and "Just a hot day" or "warmer when I was young"
Incredible!
Privatisation of the NHS.
NHS spends record £241m outsourcing scan analysis to private firms.
Private sector focused on profit extraction, not service. Money buys less. Public purse depleted.
NHS capacity not expanded. Why would it train staff?

If you don't think we're burning up our planet, you're an idiot
... and that goes for US Presidents and other populists telling people to "drill baby, drill"
Today has been the hottest day in May on record with Kew Gardens provisionally reaching 34.8°C - exceeding the previous highest May temperature in the UK by a full 2 degrees Celsius🌡️
This heat would be exceptional in the UK even in mid summer, let alone in May📈
The real welfare queen in America is Jeff Bezos, worth $279 billion, who pays wages so low his workers rely on food stamps and Medicaid while he sailed on his $500 million yacht to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring because his tax rate is less than 1%.
