If the Trade Unions ran the UK you'd be able to get a good job with a decent wage and a great pension. Now that only sounds bad if you are one of the 'bosses'.

"The Government is demonising and punishing Disabled people for the economic failures of successive governments. Why isn't it looking to the rich to plug its funding gap?” via Peter Stefanovic 'Disability Rights UK's Statement on the government’s planned benefits cuts':

It is costing you £20bn a year NOT to nationalise the water companies, and it is going to go up nearly 10% EVERY YEAR. All that money is stolen out of the UK to foreign tax havens. This is the cost that you cannot afford.

The wealth of the richest 1% is increasing by 10% (£250bn a year). Meanwhile everyone else is getting poorer. Why is taxing the rich the ONLY thing that isn't on the menu?

It was great to catch up with Chelsea Manning. Chelsea paid an enormous price for exposing US war crimes to the world — and continues to speak out against state surveillance and defend the human rights of others. She is proof that acts of courage can change the world.

State-sponsored kidnapping The Trump admin took people by force, based on flimsy accusations & sent them not to their home country but to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador—in defiance of a court order. Holding people against their will through deception and threat is by definition—kidnapping.

The rich do not pay tax in the UK People on average of £36,920 pay 33%. People on PAYE earning £250,000 pay 47%. People with income of £2,000,000 pay only 19%. Billionaires only 11%. If you are rich you can choose not to pay tax, it should be illegal.

Thames Water has been given a £3 billion bailout, paid for by you and me. Why should households have to pay for the mess that Thames Water got itself into, just so execs and shareholders can protect their profits? There is a better solution: take water into public ownership.

Every week, I speak to people in my constituency struggling with mental health. Many are worried about feeding their kids, paying the rent or losing benefits. Britain's mental health crisis is the result of political choices. This government is choosing to push more people into despair.

The Trump administration has declared a war on words, but one seems to have proved shifty enough to slip the net of the censors and hardy enough to retain its moral power. “Solidarity,” a word of the old left, is being tailored to fit the hopes of the moment, Parul Sehgal writes.

We need to talk about a scam that many MP's are using, they make you pay the rent for a house to use for 'work'. Then they rent out their own house, and live in the one you pay all the bills for. This benefit scam needs to be stopped it's costing you millions.

I know where I stand on austerity. That's why I voted to scrap the two-child benefit cap, opposed the means-testing for winter fuel payments, & will vote against cuts to welfare & disability benefits. Instead of targeting the most vulnerable, the government should tax the rich.
