@Sutalffa@WorkersPartyGB @guirivaud How is small government, market led capitalism common sense when the neoclassical theoretical models it is built upon have been shown not to hold true in the real world?
@PatriciaNPino Indeed. Nurses spend pretty much all they earn into our economy, supporting the livelihood of other workers. We all benefit when investment is in workers (producers and carers of producers - the NHS is the biggest employer of workers) rather than hoarders and finance speculators.
Sir Keir Starmer's big idea for a 'recovery bond' won't reduce inequality.
In a currency issuing nation with the world's 5th biggest economy, the govt could use its powers more creatively to eradicate poverty. That's how to reduce inequality. But it requires political will.
@GefferyMorgan@joti2gaza@WorkersPartyGB It is considered use of our nation’s resources that socialists advocate; democratic-public control over our nation’s resources for the good of us all, rather than have the nation’s wealth ever increasingly under the control of a few who exploit others for personal gain.
About 2.6 million people in the UK, 8% of workers, expect to lose their jobs in the next three months.
We need a #CoronaTax now to stop them falling off a cliff edge and invest in decent jobs and homes.

The overlap between essential workers and low paid workers is quite staggering.
Why would you pay the people you need the most, the least?
The Covid-19 crisis has proven beyond doubt that the capitalist economy is rigged against the workers and in favour of the wealthy.
I back GMB members at British Gas taking industrial action against their employer.
It's time for Centrica bosses to withdraw their fire and rehire threats.
Join me in sending support to British Gas workers ↓

The #environmental crisis - who's to blame? Is it population size (the poor), or #capitalist production that impoverishes and disempowers the masses, while making all productive activity serve not humanity, but insatiable and unsustainable corporate greed?

Cuba is first Latin American country to develop, test its own Covid-19 vaccine.
Cuba's globally praised medical services successfully prepared for and contained Covid-19.
And that despite US embargo and hostility.

After a lot of soul searching, it with sadness that I have taken the decision to resign from the Labour Party. Following a change in the direction the Party is taking, it is something I can no longer support.
Wow - left member on NEC reporting a new process has been approved giving Labour General Secretary the right to unilaterally bar candidates on grounds they might be “embarrassing” 😬
