It’s horrifying to see fascists win an election in Europe in 2024
Wringing our hands will do no good
We need to offer young people a better future by challenging the concentration of power and wealth in the hands of older generations

Ending the injustice of the ‘non dom rule’ is the right thing to do
We shouldn’t have people living here as if citizens but refusing to pay tax here
This is a question of principle and is only part of ensuring the wealthy pay their fair share
No habitation without taxation!

Michael is a proper journalist focused on the real story
We might expect a Labour government to shut down tax havens
But not if they’re funded by them and those who use them to avoid paying tax

The UN was set up to stop wars like that looming in Lebanon
But US unconditional support for Israel has neutralized the UN in the Middle East
This must end: Biden must no longer allow Israel to act with impunity and ignore international law

😠 First pensioners unable to pay fuel bills
😢 Now disabled people unable to work
🤬 The government is making the most vulnerable bear the brunt of its spending cuts
👉🏽 Why not make those with the broader shoulders pay more tax instead?

Miserable speech from the chancellor
It wasn't even pain today and jam tomorrow
It felt like jam in some parallel universe or fairytale future
No clear strategy for actually making that jam

Listening to Reeves suggests that only a Labour government committed to ‘reform’ (aka privatization) is permitted to become the government of this country
This is why everything is broken and we are getting poorer
It’s also why more and more people are losing faith in democracy

Mixed message from Reeves is threat to economic confidence
Her policy approach seems equally confused
nitter.privacydev.net/TheGreen
is clear: we need investment
In infrastructure, public services, home insulation, green transition
The only route to economic success

😔 UK consumer confidence takes drastic fall
😠 Labour posturing around ‘tough decisions’ is undermining economic sentiment
🤦🏻‍♀️ Undermining the economy is the last thing a chancellor should do
💚 What we need is investment, fair taxes and optimism

I'm speechless at the short-sightedness of this
I can't think of another organization that has cast such light into an area of such political darkness
A serious error of judgement

'under-investment has resulted in a vicious circle of stagnation and decline and greater social and environmental problems'
For our health, wealth, and happiness, we urgently need investment
Reeves must abandon her commitment to further austerity

'Starmer’s swift rejection of EU priorities such as establishing a youth mobility scheme and rejoining Erasmus has gone down badly in European capitals and is taking a toll on early optimism about the new British government'
Such a shame; such a waste

EU Commission scores stunning court win in €13B Apple tax row

It’s likely poorer pensioners will die this winter without winter fuel allowance
nitter.privacydev.net/UKLabour
consider this a price worth paying to establish their reputation for fiscal toughness
Taxing wealth fairly could fund this and so much more
Labour are no longer the party of the people

Great to see so much media interest in

‘real choice is between a chaotic, punitive system based on political dishonesty, and a well-managed one that works, taking advantage of our good fortune in being a place that can draw people from around the world’

'Dozens reported dead after Israeli strike on Gaza school'
We've got a Labour govt now but what's changed?
What pressure are they using to urge an immediate ceasefire?
What are they doing to put pressure on the US to stop this horror?
