Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It's been revealed that the Office for National Statistics, which prepares the UK's inflation data, has been using the wrong prices to estimate it. They have used list prices, not what most people pay. The result? Serious overstatement of inflation. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04...

“Far from simply being a beneficiary of short-term frustrations, Reform is capitalising on years of deep-rooted anger… about what millions of people see as the long slide of national decline” Decline that Farage helped cause. Anger that’s made him a fortune. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/366...

“The Chancellor sparked anger when she revealed that govt wants to enable young people from Europe and UK to work and travel overseas” FFS. What ‘Brexit freedom’ exactly is being betrayed here? The freedom to NOT be free to work and travel overseas? One of the stupidest front pages I’ve ever seen.

So why does Electricity produced in Scotland and used here cost more than the same electricity exported to and used in London? Scotland, if you leave the Union you could enjoy the CHEAPEST electricity in Europe, instead of paying the highest energy bills in Europe as we do now.

John Curtice notes on Today that mayoral races could be won with as little as 25% of the vote. But it's worse than that: if turnout in (eg) the West of England race is the same as in 2001 - 36% - a party might win with 9% of eligible votes. First Past the Post is an absurdity in these conditions.

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work. The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the gov’t to rethink

"The amount the government is seeking to cut from the benefits bill is colossal: £4.5bn every year by 2029/30. To put this in context, the government currently spends £48bn on health-related benefits, so this is a cut of just under 10%."
