“I had no idea it was THIS bad!” We’ve all heard this from a friend or family member who becomes chronically ill. Despite watching us suffer for years, they never understand until it happens to them. Please listen to disabled people. It IS that bad. Protect your health. There’s no do overs.

“Farage is doing well because he’s pushing for a massive shake up to the system. We need to counter that by pushing for an even bigger shake up – by redistributing wealth, investing in communities, and tackling the climate crisis," says Zak. Read: wcwd.substack.com/p/no-growth-...

Energy bills are set to rise again by 6.4% this April — while companies have raked in over £457,000,000,000 in profits since 2020. Your skyrocketing bills are funding their obscene gains. It's time to end this scam and put people before profit. Nationalise our utilities NOW.

These guys don’t even have security clearances yet, but are wading their way deep into govt systems, controlling budgets, personnel, processes, payments etc, locking out or firing the people responsible for ensuring probity. This is an unprecedented power grab. An internal coup. A hostile takeover.
