The oldest surviving victim of the Post Office Horizon scandal, 92 year old, was offered 29% of the compensation she asked for. Now receives offer of 60%. Scandalous. Why is their agony being prolonged? Pay them. No victim should get less than what Post Office execs have retired on.

Did anybody really expect anything different? The fact that this isn't shocking shows how far standards have fallen; all adided by the compliant right wing media.

Hospitals in England could shed 100,000 jobs. No impact assessment produced. A Wes Streeting recipe for privatisation dressed up as efficiency drive. NHS will be a shell doling out contracts to the private sector. 30% -40% of money will vanish in profits. Money will buy less. Must resist.

On March 31st 1990, the poll tax riots broke out in London. 200,000 people on the streets. Back when the working class had self respect and fought for their rights, instead of going far right because they let the ultra rich radicalise them into wrongly blaming everything on immigrants.

For 140 days United Utilities dumped sewage illegally in Lake Windermere last year. The company has criminal convictions, violates its licence terms but allowed to operate illegally. Puny fines don't deter. Customers fleeced. Nothing will change until profit motive is ended.

How a false Net Zero claim became ‘news’: 'Late that afternoon a tweet by Reform UK Ltd MP and GB News presenter Richard Tice caught my eye. He was claiming that Net Zero was the cause of the Heathrow shutdown, and that the issue was a “refusal to have diesel generators”.' @monkemma.bsky.social

To revive economy UK govt must redistribute wealth. Bottom 50% of the population has 5% of wealth; bottom fifth has 0.5%. 1% have more than 70% population combined. Median wage is £29,604. Real average wage unchanged since 2008. Cut taxes on the bottom 50%. Tax wealth. End tax perks of the rich.
