Rachel Reeves considers softening inheritance tax changes amid non-dom backlash. That is tax concessions to the ultra rich, non-doms, private equity; won't hike corporation & capital gains tax rates. But benefit cuts OK. Anyone listens to the poor?

Zack Polanski has demonstrated his grasp of the first rule in politics: knowing when to seize the initiative. In pledging “eco-populism”… a bold claim to the form of politics our chaotic times demand. #backZack www.newstatesman.com/politics/202...

Government policy is to grow the gambling industry. That means more addiction and more suicide. Time for a rethink. - @endgamblingads.bsky.social & @mzc.bsky.social

THIS is what y'all voted for over all reason! We warned you for years. We begged you to believe that Project 2025 was real, but you chose to believe a proven liar, rapist and 34x FELON! America would be SHINING WITH KAMALA!

They were not attacked. There was no imminent attack. They attacked breaking international law. The western politicians who’ve enabled a genocide are now green lighting an illegal war. We have the worst politicians and the worst media possible. The system needs to change.

Girl who skipped dinner so parents could eat - the true reality of UK child poverty. Human suffering is hidden by numbers. 16m Britons live in poverty. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. 50 families have more wealth than 34m people. Poverty is a political choice.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

Private equity bidders trump rival to buy doctors' surgeries, hospitals and hospices with £1.7bn Assura bid. NHS estate privatised by Tories/Blair, now bought/sold for profit. NHS pays escalating rents, less money left for frontline services. All part of creeping privatisation

8 years later and not a single person has been put on trial for Grenfell, even though a report a year ago listed all the people involved, and what they did or didn't do. They don't want to convict them, because they are rich.

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.
