This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

only this is to cover up Israeli atrocities and the world seeing Israel for what it is.
@DavidLammy @KemiBadenoch It was your Labour Party which banned Dutch MP Geert Wilders from entering the UK in 2009 because you were so terrified of upsetting Muslims. You didn't even do it to help any recognizable British interest! How dare you criticise Israel from keeping our people safe.

THIS SHOULD BE CANCELLED. There's no money in the kitty. The Royal Family's Sovereign Grant, which covers their official expenses, is set to increase by £45 million to £132 million in April 2025. #BBCBreakfast #GMB #SkyNews

Ahead of speculation that they will cut the value of health-related UC, it's vital to note that the UK already pays less than many other countries. If they closed the gap with UB evenly, the UK would be one of the least generous countries to low-earning severely disabled people.

@Feargal_Sharkey There needs to be a citizens legal challenge against @thameswater. For the last 30+ years bills have included infrastructure spending (overseen by corrupt @Ofwat ). The customer is footing the bill again, not the shareholders this is criminal, and the government is complicit

Incapacity benefit is just £62.85 per week for those under retirement age and £77.70 for those over it. The attendance allowance for the Lords is up to £361 *per day*. Which is unsustainable? Lords call for overhaul of 'unsustainable' incapacity benefits https://t.co/Zo1DnhzJW7

And to do what Trump claims will happen ,moving business to the US will require billions in taxes and subsides to work.
"Those tariffs, to be clear, are actually not tariffs on the rest of the world. They're tariffs on Americans."

it also indicates Musk has his eye on Lesotho has Trump has on Gazza.
There’s something pretty distasteful about a President of the United States saying “the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of.” The celebration of ignorance.

Furthermore, 3 of the 5 (60%) Reform UK MPs are employed by Paul Marshall and Legatum on GB "News", who along with many presenters and guests, use the explicitly politically partisan platform as a permanent Party Political Broadcast on behalf of Reform UK. https://t.co/5XBHKNuvNp
Reform UK (whose voters tend to get their info from Reform MPs & GB "News", which employs 60% of Reform's MPs) are on 24%. Also: 24% of Brits think Rudakubana is a Muslim (false); 23% believe his motives were religious (false); & 21% believe he's an immigrant (false). #Leveson2

You scumbag. Hundreds of British soldiers have died over the last two decades supporting your country in your wars. Your utter disrespect, dismissal, and disregard for their sacrifice because it doesn’t suit your present narrative is sickening.
