EHRC single-sex spaces guidance being adapted under ‘constructive’ new chair Exclusive: Hope is that pragmatic approach could soften court ruling’s impact on trans people and businesses

A baffling piece, this, the entire premise of which is flatly contradicted by the trenchant observation from the EHRC at the end.

Suella makes the ultimate sacrifice as she ditches Tories for Reform | John Crace Most of those at Monday’s event had to remind themselves that Braverman hadn’t defected long ago

Lovely hatchet job on the monstrosity that is Suella Braverman. Crace covers it all;
her dishonesty, disloyalty, nastiness, incompetence, her wild vanity… and her deep stupidity.
How dare these utter arses think we’d be persuaded by their swaggering nonsense.

Nigel Farage Racks Up £151,000 in Donor-Funded Flights to Support Donald Trump Nigel Farage’s donors have paid for him to take trips around the world to the tune of £151,000 since July 2024, DeSmog can reveal. Farage jetted off to the elite networking forum Davos in Switzerland ...

Farage’s donors have spent £151,000 flying him around the world in support of Donald Trump.

Farage works for the MAGA movement, not the British public (and certainly not the voters of Clacton)

It’s not about Rayner or Farage: the real tax story is how the super-rich avoid paying their share| Rebecca Gowland To focus on individuals is misguided: the problem is a tax system hugely skewed in favour of the ultra-wealthy, says Rebecca Gowland of Patriotic Millionaires International

“The government must crack down on tax dodging, especially by the super-rich, but it must go so much further than that if it wants to transform our country and have a fighting chance at the next election. It must raise taxes on the very richest.”

Tommy Robinson: 'I challenge any journalist to come to Luton and find Muslims with non Muslims.'

I'm a journalist from Luton and this man is talking utter nonsense. A pleasure to work on this film, chatting to incredible people in my hometown and separating fact from fiction.

How Corporations Crush the Working Class | Robert Reich
How Corporations Crush the Working Class | Robert Reich Robert Reich

Corporate America’s playbook:

1) Exploit workers to maximize profits
2) Use profits to buy Congress
3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws
4) Use these laws to further exploit workers
5) Repeat

Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.

The UK electricity is already the most expensive in the world.
Price set to rise again in October as Ofgem's pricing formula lets companies rip people off.

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next.

This is what dictatorship looks like.

Asylum seekers are being targeted – and so are those who help them. It’s a disturbing new reality | Enver Solomon Far-right influencers are menacing charities and individuals to further isolate the people we work with. Ensuring safety is now part of the job, says Enver Solomon of the Refugee Council

This is organised far-right race-hate.

The vast majority of people don't believe in this racist bile.

Say NO to Reform UK and the Tories.

Say NO to the right wing media fueling hate

Say NO to Labour and their anti-migrant rhetoric.

Farage owns four homes:

Family home (£1M, retained after his divorce)
Two beachside homes in Kent (via his comp. Thorn In The Side Ltd)
One investment property in Surrey (rented out)

Radio silence from media about this but uproar about Angela Rayner’s two homes & ministerial home

The billionaire press barons must be having a right laugh…

Here we are distracted & arguing over asylum seekers (0.2% of the population)

Meanwhile, billionaires (just 0.0002% of the population) hoard more wealth than half the UK

Immigration isn’t draining us

Inequality is.

As we watch Keir Starmer and his team expand NHS privatisation, please remember that he was elected to become Labour leader saying specifically that he would remove NHS private outsourcing. He then quietly dropped this pledge in Summer 2022.

This isn’t OK 🚨

How we can fight back against the right-wing coup For a better future the power of corporations and wealthy elites must be curbed and reversed

Right wing coup and corporate welfare.

Subsidies for UK energy, auto, shipbuilding, steel, rail, internet, other sectors. Boosts profits, shareholder returns. Govts don't take equity stake. Numerous uncosted tax reliefs

People -two child benefit cap, disability benefit cut, public services cut.t

While the nation has plenty of real problems to deal with, Trump is ignoring them to manufacture fake emergencies.

Why?

He wants more power — and he wants to distract from his unpopular agenda.

It should be clear that America’s actual national emergency is Donald J. Trump.

Consider how chilling this is…

Israel decided that killing the last remaining Al Jazeera journalists on the ground in Gaza

Was better for its international reputation than allowing them to document what’s about to unfold

Ex-Army helicopter pilot tops 'Fat Cat' City league with £45m pay Pascal Soriot, who runs drugs giant AstraZeneca, has slipped to third place in our annual survey, after being replaced by the relatively unknown Dilnot.

Melrose CEO got £45m pay package. He and outgoing CEO received £100m.

CEO and three others received a combined £208m.

CEO pay is 1,112 times more than the average worker.

Two-thirds of shareholders opposed exec pay.

Govts tell workers wage rises are inflationary, do nothing to curb fat-cattery.

Capital gains 18% - 32%
Dividends 8.75% - 39.35%.
Private equity bosses at max rate of 32%.
Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%

Govts not keen on progressive tax policies
