The Labour British Government is justifying removing PIP and disability benefits because the welfare system "is not working for taxpayers". So tax the wealthy more! Most European countries already do, and spend more on welfare as a result. Ah but right wing voters in England... archive.ph/TCodk

Windrush scandal victims got less compensation due to lack of legal advice funding, review finds. Similar pattern at the Post Office, infected blood and other scandals. Poor can't buy legal advice, bludgeoned into accepting low compensation, leaving injustice behind. Govt must provide it.

The Guardian is discussing a supposed crisis for Rachael Reeves today, when no such crisis exists. Whether she meets her fiscal rules is irrelevant. Poverty, poor housing, and suffering children are the realities they should be talking about. Why aren't they? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/06...

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.
