If you make your money by working you pay twice the rate of tax as someone who uses money to make money - there’s nothing right or fair about that - it can't be justified. Our tax rules were written by people with money - for people with money. And our extreme wealth gap is

86% of our UK arms imports come from the United States. We are far too reliant on Donald Trump - he is unpredictable and dangerous. Stop hoping it's going to go away. Time to stand up to the bully and to rebuild our relationships outside of the USA. https://t.co/iVDNjEX8NC

This makes no sense… An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto… And we’re supposed to be ok with that? Nah If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote Sign the petition & help make that

This is the reality Britain 🇬🇧 was sold out of. 🇪🇺 EU = 46% of UK trade 🇺🇸 US = 18% 🌍 Rest of world = 36% Trump’s tariffs are noise by comparison. Brexit cut us off from our main market 👉permanently. That’s why Britain is weaker, poorer, and easier to bully.

Some people say Keir Starmer has been dealt a bad hand. We're still in January and he's already signed a defence deal with Palantir - knowing full well how unpredictable and dangerous the US President is. We're way past the point of giving pleading appeasement speeches.

Billionaire wealth is highest ever at $18.3trn,. Half the world lives in poverty. Billionaires are 4,000 times more likely to hold political office than normal people. Richest 56 Britons hold more wealth than 27m. Concentration of wealth is dangerous. https://t.co/bnYKJLYiRS

This is totally absurd. Robert Jenrick says he wanted the Tories to expel Liz Truss over her disastrous mini-Budget. Does he realise his new leader lauded that catastrophe as "the best Conservative budget since 1986"?

Robert Jenrick: If the Conservative party has really changed, why wouldn't you kick Liz Truss out? I've told Kemi to do that. She chose not to. And it speaks to a broader truth. You told Kemi Badenoch to kick out Liz Truss? Jenrick: Multiple times https://t.co/it8dm47wHc

You’re waiting hours in A&E to be seen yet the NHS is turning doctors away from helping you. One of the reasons this is happening is because the Government has deliberately capped how many doctors are allowed to train to become future Consultants/GPs. This year, 40,000 doctors

Human cost of UK coup. Austerity, unchecked profiteering takes toll. 300,000 a year die awaiting hospital appointment. 48,000 excess deaths a year due to austerity. 128,000 a year die in fuel poverty. 16m live in poverty. The rich are richer. https://t.co/FxE34JgISh
