Are you struggling with poverty, low wages, insecure job? Neoliberals have an answer. They want govt to encourage you to speculate on the stock market, buy/sell shares with illusion of riches. Part of the right wing coup to distract people from reality, produce corporate foot-soldiers.

I am so very pissed off with crap governments which see their lobbyists profiteering at our expense. If anything it's got worse under Labour because of their authoritarian policies and making us pay for all the Tory damage whilst continuing Tory policy.

www.theguardian.com/global/comme... 4 Just Stop Oil supporters were found guilty yesterday. They have already spent 6 months on remand. Sentencing will not take place for another 3 months

Nothing but bullies US threatens to shut off Elon Musk’s Starlink if Ukraine won't sign minerals deal, sources tell Reuters

It's no coincidence that serial liar Starmer poses as the bulwark against fascist regimes, while approving the anti-human rights trend of British police

Weak leadership

Always money for war and more greed.

They don't go after the crooks that crashed economy , or who dolled out crony contracts and wasted billions of tax payers money. Infact they keep handing out contracts to private investment and equity companies to continually screw us over. There is money for war but not mental health services.

In the UK currently, you work work to pay to live ,whilst they want to go after any interest on savings that you have tried to save to improve your future. What is the point UK ? None of us are super rich , we are told to save , put money in a pension. Yet they go after it. We pay to live.

The scapegoating of migrants and benefit claimants, and the new Government snooping on people 's bank accounts even checking savings is abhorrent especially when the bankers and super wealthy aren't paying enough tax.

We have NO food production plan nor any plan for food supply. You should sit up and pay attention as this govt believe we don’t need farms. We have no plan to ensure food for people or the army. We have been trying to point this out for 6 years and govt is more and more pro Stalin type policy.

And crap deregulation.

Iam so disappointed with Labour. There is no real ambition, just selling out to donors and corporate lobbyists,no different from Tories. No real effort to align us with EU. We are stuck with this for another 4 years, of them further wrecking the UK with companies encouraging corporate rule.

About effing time. What a catastrophic waste of young people opportunities the end FoM has been, on both sides of the Channel.

I continue to have an issue with this YMS! Why? EU citizens would not be welcomed back because the UK is missing us. It only wants us for work, trade and money reasons. Nothing else. Anyway, no one is going to move to London to work in a seedy Soho bar if they have to pay a NHS surcharge 🤡

Kash Patel, the right wing conspiracy theorist who wants to wire taps Americans without a warrant, is now the head of the FBI. I'm sure he won't misuse this power to go after Trump's political rivals.

As long he doesn't yield to the orange Fascist.....

Preferred freedom of movement in EU. Australian style agreement is crap. We need freedom of movement of goods and services and the single market. Again Starmer and co are utterly woeful.

Rachel Reeves just keeps hammering the little people , coming after cash ISAs and thinking of taxing state pensions. Noone is going to have any money ,as they will be paying to live. How does that achieve growth? Labour leadership are completely out of touch. What's the point in saving ?

Ignorance like this is dangerous. But remember there were people that supported Nazis in WW2, so this is no different. Cognitive dissonance is so evident. There needs to be a huge resistance.

Big thanks to Left Unity and the Merseyside Pensioners Association for flying me over to Liverpool to talk about SEZs. Each talk I give, it becomes very clear that the public has not been properly informed about the dangers of free zones to local infrastructure open.substack.com/pub/european...

The fascist coup in America continues at pace, with Elon Musk accumulating power over the ruling bureaucracy in much the same way as Stalin did during his rise to the top.

I fully expected to get shafted by the Tories but to have Labour do the same is an absolute insult!

New billboard in Clacton, Farage’s constituency. He’s still the UK’s #1 grifter. No other MP takes more from second jobs while being employed to represent their constituents in Parliament

HELL YEAH: In a masterful speech, the Democratic governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker announces not ONLY a balanced budget in his state but alludes to Donald Trump and Elon Musk as being “IDIOTS.” Let me know if you agree with him.

Putin says Trump must go further before he’ll even agree to meet. Putin is entirely in the driving seat. The US has alienated its own allies, given Russia nearly all of what it wanted, bought Putin’s warped view of reality, and can’t even guarantee a meeting. The art of the deal, indeed.

Chris Murphy: "My prediction is that if you vote for Kash Patel, more than any other confirmation vote you make, you will come to regret this one to your grave."

Donald Trump is a Russian asset; it no longer matters if it’s witting or unwitting. He routinely spreads disinformation that originates in the Kremlin and the FSB, and does it to hurt America and our friends. If you support Trump, you have—morally speaking—betrayed your country.

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

Ofcourse they did. And Labour leadership do fizz all. Rachel Reeves is just rolling out the red carpet for more corporates to advise her on growth and how to make us pay through the nose for everything.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Trump calls Ukraine's Zelenskyy a 'dictator', 'modestly successful comedian', who should ‘move fast’ or lose country. Part of the strategy to force Ukraine to hand territory to Russia, mineral wealth to US. What next? Can't trust Trump as an ally. UK must rejoin EU. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/z...

Better Man than Starmer

Duckworth: "He essentially just surrendered to Putin."

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
