I asked you what radical action you plan….. if you lead people will follow Richard.

Nobody deserves this. Not the workers, the children, the mothers, the sick, the disabled, the displaced, the young, the old, the just about managing, the given up trying, the lonely, the sad. We are being ravaged by monsters and kept down by gatekeepers.

TABIS. It's absolutely an ideological choice to decrease or increase child poverty. Likewise a hard brexit.

Dear Richard. You may have seen Gary Stevenson has gained lots of attention raising the issue of wealth inequality but is a bit light on detail on how. Would love to see you guys collaborate, as you bring such clarity and detail & have a proper plan to how to tax wealth via your excellent report.

Now you know as much as you need to know in one sitting. And Richard wouldn’t disagree with it. Gary would.

The rich should never be taxed as a punishment, they should be taxed to 1 prevent inequality, 2 stop undue interference in politics and industrial influence 3 to prevent anti social behaviours( burning £50 notes in front of less well off people). Proofs follow in 3

Gary is pushing a book. As to the attention, well he’s definitely seeking it. Most of the things he says are complete nonsense. Money is created by ALL banks when they make loans, this includes the BoE. It’s destroyed by paying back the loan or by taxation. So make the rich pay is complete bollox.2)

Don't worry Starmer has pledged more money to cover their funerals.
