These guys will do anything to kill reform. They're partisans. They don't give a damn that FPTP is mangling our electoral system or that it could hand total executive control to Nigel Farage. They just care that a few times a century Labour has a majority. www.politicshome.com/news/article...

Tories call for 5-year freeze on minimum wage to tackle youth unemployment. So, how will workers in retail, hospitality pay rent, energy, water, food bills? Impact on mental health, NHS, public services? Silence on corporate welfare, soaring exec pay, dividends, share buybacks.

Target pensions or welfare, don't tax banks, neoliberal IMF tells UK Chancellor. Silence on corporate welfare, bank subsidies and profiteering; poverty, equitable distribution of income and wealth. Sacrificing the old, poor, sick to the gods of fiscal rules, so that banks are not inconvenienced.

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025. They've seen their collective tax bill drop by $95B thanks to two rounds of Trump tax cuts. Meanwhile, tech layoffs in 2026 have already surpassed 2025. Trickle-down economics was always a scam.

The NHS is not for sale. For decades public health has suffered because of private companies prioritising profits over patient care. This extraction has carried on under our noses, hidden behind the NHS logo. 🧵1/2

UK drivers forced to use parking apps can pay up to 40% more. Hidden charges, full price not shown until the payment page. Neoliberals complain about regulation but silent on daily fleecing of people by predatory capitalism. All done to boost profits, exec pay.
