A billionaires' coup. By billionaires, for billionaires. To create a country that's run solely in the interests of billionaires.

If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much. The real #TwoTierPolicing www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

“Above all, electoral reform could incentivise so many apathetic voters back to the polls. It could also steer them away from populist politicians who would be all too glad to exploit public exasperation at under-representation and wasted votes” eastangliabylines.co.uk/democracy/is...

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

How Finland’s Left are beating the far right by rejecting austerity and championing workers rights. Labour, take notes. This is how it’s done. Not sensible adults in the room centrism. Left wing populism. A good read in the Tribune by @graceblakeley.bsky.social tribunemag.co.uk/2025/01/how-...

When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives now

Kokoomuksen puoluejohtaja Petteri Orpo väitti puolueen vaaliristeilyllä, että "hallitus ei ole leikannut koulutuksesta". Tämä on vähimmilläänkin harhaanjohtavaa. Katsotaan pääministeri Petteri Orpon (kok.) hallituksen tekemiä päätöksiä. 1/3

The thing is...when MAGA destroys all these lifesaving programs like USAID and NED, they're going to pocket that money instead of passing any savings down to the taxpayer. This is mass theft and destruction

This is how badly Labour wants to lose the next election. The UK will have their version of the orange felon next. It is like the Brexit self harm was not enough.

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him. This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

Maybe Labour should try punching up for a change? Instead, when they talk about cutting disability benefits, they sound v ‘Kemi Badenoch’.
