I think this planet would be slightly less vulnerable if there were more socialists living on it.

The SNP have protected the Scottish NHS as much as they can within the constraints of the block grant. We don't have the widespread privatisation that's present in England's NHS. If you value the NHS then Scottish Independence is the future. #ScottishIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We don’t require the economy to grow - it only has to provide what we need. It is only the billionaires whose greed is insatiable.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Lucky for Starmer most people have forgotten his 10 pledges he made when running for Labour leader, given he's abandoned so many, including: free movement, higher income tax for top 5%, higher corporation tax, abolish UC, common ownership of rail/mail/energy and water, no more NHS outsourcing, etc.

During WWII the top rate of tax was 99.25%. Post war lowered to 90%. In the USA the top rate in the 1950s was 91% lowered to 70% in the 1970s. Current UK top tax rate is 45% and top USA tax rate is 37%. This explains everything.

Guaranteeing universal paid family and medical leave in America would cost $325 billion. It would cost around $50 billion to build 1,000 schools. Ending homelessness costs around $200 billion. A Five & Dime wealth tax would raise $7 TRILLION. See why we say "tax the rich?"

As bombs fall & bullets fly, Kashmiris on both sides of a man-made border mourn, bleed & bury the dead. All so Modi can secure his re-election, while Bollywood, a mouthpiece for fascism, rushes to profiteer from war. We need voices for peace, not jingoism & death. Free Kashmir.

The genocide of the Palestinians was a litmus test. Enabling politicians (Biden, Harris, Trump, Sunak, Starmer) to commit fascism and genocode abroad empowers them to bring it all home. The Duopoly in many countries are funded by the same fascist billionaire network.

Does the government have any clue about the standard of English of the majority of British citizens?

Reports that Labour will demand a higher standard of English from migrants, comparable with A level standard and able to write about complex issues. I wonder if they think the 240,000 Brits in Dubai should learn Arabic and discuss complex issues with it?

Reports that Labour may scrap the Digital Services Tax to secure a trade deal with Trump are deeply concerning. I’m urging the govt to guarantee MPs get a vote on any such deal. MPs must have a say in decisions that affect our digital economy and ability to tax corporate giants.

"How will you pay for it?" The answer is in Taxing Wealth Report 2024. 30 simple tax changes = £90bn a year. That’s half the NHS budget. Labour doesn’t need to hit the poor | Prof Richard Murphy @eastangliabylines.co.uk

The government was wrong to cut winter fuel payments. It was wrong to keep the 2-child benefit cap. It was wrong to slash disability benefits. Pushing people into poverty is the wrong thing to do. The right thing to do is redistribute wealth and power so that everyone can live in dignity.

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

🔥 This is important. Really important. And none of the mainstream media are reporting it. So please read and share — because we are the news community for ourselves and the “mainstream” media are utterly hopeless for meaningful news.
