Just in case no one knows the UK doesn't have a record number of people on benefits, in fact we have higher employment than France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Finland and many more. It's all just a lie for the billionaires to blame poor people for their mess.

Labour has repeatedly stumbled in its first 6 months—from backtracking on winter fuel support to refusing to scrap the two-child benefit cap. We’ve seen a mess of policies with no real action where it’s needed. We sat down with the Mirror to discuss it all. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Water companies are pumping sewage in our sea and taking record profits. Labour refuses to nationalise them. In the exact same way he won't tax the wealth of the 1%, blames migrants & cut winter fuel for pensioners. Is it any surprise they're tanking?

US National Security Adviser says Ukraine President "need to tone it down and take a hard look and sign that deal," What he means is - hand some of your country to Russia, 50% of your mineral wealth to Trump, starve your people. Gangster politics is no basis for lasting peace.

Labour under Attlee, with far greater economic challenges than today, had boldness, vision & a compelling story. Starmer’s Labour fails on all 3 counts, which amounts to laying out a welcome mat to Farage. On eve of publication of #AnotherEngland in paperback, I write for @prospectmagazine.co.uk👇

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

1. You don't pay inheritance tax you're dead, the people who inherit it do. 2. Never going to inherit £1m+ from anybody? Then like 96% of people you won't pay any inheritance tax. 3. If you get rid of inheritance tax for millionaires and billionaires, your taxes will go up.

If you run a Water Company whose bills are already 50% higher than they need to be to run it, and not only are you not running it, you are building up massive debts as well. You don't need more money, you need a prison cell.

Donald Trump is getting rid of Medicaid entirely, this means you will need the $14,000 a year for Health Insurance and the $25,000 for bills you still get to give birth. Or you will have to do it at home like it is 1825. This is in the richest country in the world.
