Who is the real Keir Starmer? Feigning care about Ukrainian deaths, but not Palestinians Sucking up to Trump, while play-acting the leader of Europe Speaking out against corruption, while his Minister pockets £thousands in freebies Liar, hypocrite, billionaires' lackey

Look, socialists largely deserted Labour after Starmer incinerated his promises and told us to find a ditch and die in it. But if you’re a liberal still backing Keir Starmer after he incinerated the foreign aid budget, how have you not died from terminal embarrassment

When you read that someone owns so many billions don't think of it as abstract numbers in a bank account. These billions are held in the form of assets, companies, land, rented out housing, etc.. As their wealth increases they own more of these and the rest of us therefore own less of them.

The English badger cull is such a huge wildlife tragedy it is now being covered in @newyorker.com. The killing needs to stop.. www.newyorker.com/culture/drin...

The Doctors Association say there are 3,500 unemployed GPs Why isn't Wes Streeting hiring these GPs? And why are GP practices being filled with PAs instead of GPs? What's going on?

Starting with the winter fuel allowance The Labour government are turning the State Pension into a means tested benefit with an incredibly low cut of point. They have set that principle now they just need to roll it out to the rest of the pension. Whilst continuing to push up the coalifying age.

The Labour gov are shifting more and more NHS work to the private sector whilst continuing to run down the NHS. A gradual privatisation. All in the name of not being ideological (Socialist) which is of course pure Neo-liberal ideology.

Ignore the stupid distraction theater about Musk that MSM is covering. The real news is that Starmer's Labour is further privatising the NHS to enrich billionaires and corporations. People should be outraged about this not the Musk distraction.

Elon Musk has said he loves immigration because he gets cheap workers who can't quit. Elon Musk owns Nigel Farage and Reform UK. You have been told.

Defra "This government was elected on a mandate to introduce the most ambitious animal welfare plans in a generation and that is exactly what we will do We are committed to a ban on trail hunting which is being exploited as a smokescreen to cruelly kill foxes and hares" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Anyone else fed up of hearing from Labour ministers that they are "working night and day" or "holding someone's feet to the fire"? Can't they get some of their own nonsense jargon and not just parrot the previous Tory BS.

What has changed since the general election? We still have a right wing government. What we don't have is an oppression to the left of the government to criticise their right wing actions.

If a church doesn’t have a food pantry or a soup kitchen or a closet full of clothes and blankets open to the public or isn’t showing up at natural disasters to help, why does that church have a tax-exempt status?

BREAKING: Water companies are hiking your water bills by 36% so you have the privilege of paying their fines for providing you with a substandard service. Isn't privatisation brilliant? x

Why should farmer owners still get special tax privileges after the current changes? It's about time the rich paid a share of the tax burden.

The Media won't acknowledge this video of the farmers blocking an ambulance with its blue lights on so could you could RT it so people see it?

Starmer hates and fears democracy: this has been obvious for a long time.

If in the UK we had a democracy we would not have a King, or a House of Lords and Bishops, and the number of seats a party gets in the commons would resemble the number of votes a party got in the election.

Could send them to work as well. Most of them have never done that.

Once upon a time the Government ran things and they were cheap, effective, available for all, and free from profit. Now big business runs them and they are expensive, terrible, only for the rich, and only for profit. We need to take it all back.

Farmers say their land is valued higher than the return they get for it compared to other assets. This is because the rich are buying farms to avoid inheritance tax. If farms were taxed as other assets the value would drop their return would therefore improve and they would pay less inheritance tax.

355 giant estates in the UK making up nearly 40% of its land including the King, Dukes, Lords and Barons are exempt from Inheritance Tax because their lands have 'historical value'. This is a load of BS and it needs to be cancelled too.

Why do 70,000 'farmers' think they should own 90% of the UK forever and never pay tax. While the other 68,930,000 have the other 10% to share and must pay tax. The ultimate elitist BS.

Only the richest 4% of people pay Inheritance Tax. Only the richest 1.5% of farmers will pay HALF Inheritance Tax spread over 10 years. This is a protest funded by the obscenely wealthy who want to pay no tax at all.

Exactly 👌

I just had this reply to a petition I signed in an attempt to save one of the UKs indigenous mammals. They basically said "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." The Government will not be providing a revised response to this petition from the previous Parliament. UK Government and Parliament
