Lets cut Welfare to fund Defence.
Here's the top claimants we need to deal with.
Amazon, Google, Starbucks, Meta, Apple, Shell, BP, Vodafone...
All these companies pay ZERO tax in most if not all year's.
They should be paying tens of billions.
End this unaffordable Welfare.

Between Tesla and SpaceX Elon got 38,000 million dollars in government subsidies on his way to becoming the world's first trillionaire, or about $120 for every man, woman, and child in the USA. That makes Sissy SpaceX the biggest immigrant welfare queen in American history

The world's first trillionaire is backing the far right mobs and their politician backers.
Don't think for a second that these men have ordinary people's interests at heart.

Ruth Curtice, CEO of this privately-funded think-tank, refuses to disclose her salary and net worth. However, she claims protecting the state pension of £12k - half the living wage - against inflation is too much for the currency-issuing state to afford. The inflation they're worried about is primarily cost-push, which means rising prices are not caused by welfare spending. Basically Curtice wants to freeze pensioners' incomes during a cost-of-living crisis they haven't caused.
Over the past two decades, pensioner incomes have grown by 20 per cent, while those of working-age families have grown by just 7 per cent.
Given these trends, surely it is time to include the Triple Lock in debates around stemming the growth in welfare spending?

Why do you want pensioners living in poverty?
'We can no longer afford it' - who's we? The owners of all those yachts in Monaco?
The UK state has run out of pounds, heh?
Can we 'afford' wars & bank bailouts? How about test & trace spreadsheets at £38bn?

The media economic narrative is a broken record of soundbites, slogans, and tropes which we are expected and conditioned to accept without question. Policies of austerity are not economic necessity, they are policy choices designed to preserve the wealth and power of the few.

MMT is attacked so aggressively because it threatens the propaganda that protects power.
For decades, people have been told:
“There is no money.”
“Be realistic.”
“The markets won’t allow it.”
“Taxpayers can’t afford it.”
MMT pulls at that thread. (1/8)

The climate crisis is at a turning point. We are already seeing its effects. This is a time we should be pushing for renewables. Instead, the world's largest banks have committed nearly $1 trillion to the fossil fuel industry. Our country, our way of life, the very planet we call home, is being held at ransom by bankers.

The BBC reports that healthy life expectancy in the UK has fallen by about two years in a decade.
Excellent news for anyone who enjoys working until 67 while their knees take permanent sick leave at 61.
Britain's brave new world of enjoying longer shitter lives.

Strange isn't how Elon Musk told everyone to mark this post, then he deleted it.
Must have been a mistake.

I'm afraid that this is why the US administration wants to shut down ocean observations: they don't want the people to know what is happening in our oceans, as it does not fit their ideology and the interests of their fossil fuel industry funders.

From the UK to New York, the real fightback is against the multi-millionaires and billionaires who have stolen our wealth and power - and the media that protect them.
Zohran gets that.
And we do too:

There is constant noise claiming UK pensions are too high and unaffordable. They are all lies. The UK has very low pensions compared to all other industrial countries. Our problem is billionaire tax exile newspaper owners and political parties committed to the rich. (Vote Green)
The triple lock has made UK state pensions unaffordable
Let’s have a look at other countries pensions
Ooh!
And some other things 😳

I remember when Zack Polanski RT'd a person criticising the Police's excessive use of force.
He was publicly condemned by the MET Chief as if he had committed a serious crime.
Nigel Farage incites riots, AGAIN, and we have complete silence.

The UK suffers from a crippling drop in demand. People are broke, unemployed, underemployed or underpaid. Private pensions are a con.
Reeves demands growth without public investment.
Double the state pension and institute a living min wage and a job guarantee. Then watch growth

RETIREMENT POVERTY WARNING
@BBC has reported a pensions warning that should alarm millions of workers.
Pensions UK says more than three quarters of workers are not on track for a moderate retirement income.
The figures are brutal.
A moderate retirement lifestyle is now estimated at £32,700 a year for one person, and £45,400 for a couple. Only 23% of working people are on course to reach that level.
A comfortable retirement is now estimated at £45,400 for one person, and £62,700 for a couple. Only 9% of workers are on track for that.
Even the minimum retirement lifestyle now costs around £13,900 for one person and £22,500 for a couple. And even these figures exclude housing costs.
So what does this really mean?
Millions of people are working now, paying bills now, struggling with food, energy, rent, mortgages, childcare, debt, and still being told they must somehow save more for retirement.
If wages stay under pressure, living costs keep rising, and pension saving remains too low, many people will reach retirement and face a cliff edge drop in income.
The pension crisis is already here. Most people just have not reached the edge yet.

I searched the Epstein files and found Reform UK's treasurer.
The documents raise serious questions about ethics, accountability, and who is funding British politics.

They want you angry at pensioners living on £12,548 a year.
Half of them don't even get that. Half receive less than the full state pension.
Meanwhile the UK state pension is one of the lowest in Europe.
This isn't old vs young. It's all of us vs the people at the top who benefit every time we fight each other instead of them. Don't take the bait.
Jun 1
A full-time worker on the UK National Living Wage takes home around £18,600 a year, while a pensioner on the full State Pension receives about £12,548. That leaves many retirees expected to live on thousands less than the lowest-paid workers.

Seven states sue US for paying $1bn to make TotalEnergies exit wind power. New York leads lawsuit challenging Trump administration’s effort to make French company reinvest in fossil fuels. A coalition of Northeastern states argues the March deal, in which the company gives up its two offshore wind leases in exchange for a full refund of their $928mn cost and a pledge to redirect the money to fossil fuel investments, is “blatantly unlawful” and should be struck down by the courts. Led by New York, the coalition includes Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Vermont. The lawsuit marks the latest pushback by states and pension funds against the Trump administration’s payments designed to curtail wind power.

I think the most important aspect of Farage's address to the nation is that he was gifted £5 million by a crypto billionaire and nobody's quite sure who bought his house in Clacton.

Hi @Nigel_Farage, you’re awfully quiet about everything these days.
Quiet in the Houses of Parliament, missing the last 77 votes.
Quiet about the £5m.
Quiet about the Clacton house.
Quiet about your friend Donald Trump.
Quiet about your support for Peter Mandelson.
It will all catch up with you.
