@mrjamesob.bsky.social Ferris bewler

We're in London today with a big old bus to tell our Govt this country cannot afford cuts. Instead they should tax us, the super rich. A 2% wealth tax alone could raise up to £460mln a week. @Keir_starmer - invest in a fairer economy. Patriotic Millionaires say Tax Our Wealth

Wow the absolute lies and propaganda coming out of the Israeli spokesperson on @lbc.co.uk @tomswarbrick.bsky.social they aren't even pretending that the plan isn't to ethnically cleanse Gaza of Palestinians.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Hi James, this feels more like the "Disaster Capitalism" of Brexit. Drive down the value of US assets and land for Billionaires to buy up. It's a huge wealth grab.

Once again @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social is playing the worst game of whataboutery ever 🙄 Trying to claim that what a released Palestinian says, is in any way comparable to what Trump, the most powerful man in the world says, is utterly bonkers.

Posted this image on FB and it was blocked within minutes...free speech on these platforms is a myth.

Watch this. And then watch it again.

You might expect that one of the world's biggest media organisations admitting to illegal practices in accessing private information about a member of the royal family and a government minister would be front page news across the board, but apparently not.

Anyone considering buying a Tesla, who is not a fascist, needs to have a serious word with themselves. Boycott Musk!!

So many column inches and air time devoted to farmers having to pay inheritance tax, like the rest of us, and private schools charging VAT yet where is all the outrage about 36% of children in this country living in poverty?? Vested interests of the media class.

Good lord 🙄

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...” ...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

Farmers and how only the super rich, less than 100 a year will be taxed, and still at only 20%.
