We need redistribution: without it the misery will continue https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/04/20/we-need-redistribution-without-it-the-misery-will-continue/

Calling for climate protestors to face tougher penalties is like calling for fire alarms to be switched off at night because they might wake people up.

@Paulos_the_fog It’s neither a fair nor sensible comparison. You’re comparing a country of 940,000 square miles with one of 930 square miles and one of 67 million people with a country of 650,000 supplemented by 75% on private insurance. So what.

Hundreds of British people are needlessly going blind. Why?

Not many people know this but I help to run a website that documents all the ways the #Tory Government have failed.

It is hosted on isPants.com - #pants in #British slang is something that is not much good, a bit rubbish, unwanted, or better avoided.

The NHS can be properly funded. Anyone claiming otherwise is just not telling the truth https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/04/17/the-nhs-can-be-properly-funded-anyone-claiming-otherwise-is-just-not-telling-the-truth/

Restez zen & méfiez-vous des communicants des médias des bourgeois !
Souvenez-vous des #PandorasPapers et ses 11.300 milliards de $ cachés dans des ParadisFiscaux, impossible de les récupérer ?
Et pour les autres scandales où en sont les procédures... allo Bercy ?

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single poor decision in a pub and I’m starting to think this guy isn’t even a real Uber driver.

The people who fear a Labour government and with it rising taxes might consider that at least under Labour people had sufficient income to tax.

So, in the last election there were only 6 cases of electoral #fraud (#MattHancock has reluctantly admitted). This from a #voting population of over 45M

You'll be aware of the number of cases of fraud by #Tory MPs (from a population of 355) exceeds this in nominal terms & is vastly larger in proportional terms.

So, let be clear, #voterID is about voter suppression not fraud.

If the #Tories were interested in #democratic fraud they'd put their own house in order.
