MPs second jobs are institutionalised bribery. They should be banned. Prime duty of MPs is to serve the people, not corporations or their bank accounts. Preventing MPs from selling their souls to the highest bidder is a necessary step in democratising parliament leftfootforward.org/2025/01/mps-...

“Labour should be pointing out that, of the two big factors currently harming the economy – austerity and Brexit – Farage was responsible for the ills of Brexit, on which he is now trying to capitalise. He is a political impostor: a snake-oil salesman” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

UK kids "stealing" and "starving" as child poverty worsens over Xmas. 4.3m children live in poverty. 2.7m in food insecurity. Real wage/benefit profiteering creates hunger & poverty, blights life. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Tory MPs want to scrap worker right to maximum working hours, guaranteed annual leave, holiday pay. Oppose UK law inhibiting sexual & other harassment, as this interferes with free speech; claim employer would deal with it. Why do workers vote for this mob? bylinetimes.com/2024/12/17/c...

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of £10tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.
