HSBC made ยฃ900 every SECOND over the last three months. The case for taxing these bumper profits to support people with the cost of living crisis is overwhelming. Great to see our analysis featured in @mirror.co.uk ๐Ÿ‘‡ www.mirror.co.uk/money/hsbc-b...

Today we handed our #WeShowUp petition, signed by tens of thousands of you, to the Treasury. Our message is simple: invest in our public services, deliver fair pay and bring outsourced services back in-house. And make banks, big business and the wealthy pay their fair share. #WeShowUp

Insolvency scam The boss of twice-bust business back despite ยฃ3m debts. These people gut a company, HMRC and creditors not paid. Then buy assets cheaply from the administrator in pre-packs, and back in business. Gone on for decades. No transparency of administrator dealings. No investigation.

Even Starmer didn't break this pledge. Labour think young people should be paid less to do the same job as everyone else. On rent, pay, and on the climate crisis, Labour are betraying the young. Thankfully there's an alternative to this Labour government.

If there are Choc Hobnobs in the house, I'll eat the lot in one sitting. So the last time I bought a pack was 3 years ago. They cost ยฃ1. Yesterday, in the same shop: ยฃ2.50. Inflation is 5% Not 150% Should cost ยฃ1.16 Not ยฃ2.50 Sometimes you lose sight of just how badly you're being ripped off.

"It's time for this government to show some energy and some bravery and put the water companies into special administration - and then, of course, into public ownership". ๐Ÿ’ฏ@greenjennyjones.bsky.social. It's time to end the rip-off and take private water companies in England back into public hands.

This morning on BBC Breakfast, Nigel Farage said he had received โ€œzero help from the stateโ€ with his security. Yet reports say he had previously received publicly funded protection and was offered a taxpayer-funded package including a bodyguard, a secure car and a trained driver.

3 hours ago the Brazilian Supreme Court rejected any challenge to the election results. Just now Flavio Bolsonaro has dropped his objections. Lula is President it cannot be stopped, and Flavio Bolsonaro will be going on trial for corruption. And then to jail.
