We don't have big donors. We do have a large membership, though. 40,000 donations @ £5 each will do it. That's a little over the cost of London latte. Let's do this! donatetothe.greenparty.org.u…

Nice story bro. Important story. But when it’s peddled as patriot slop it becomes screamingly ironic as these plastic patriots are leading the everything is the fault of migration distraction for the billionaires and oligarchs who are going to take away our employment rights.

It was a dreadful time tbh - yet Jeremy still gets the blame for Brexit being such a disaster

Please forward this to anyone who complains about benefits going to the poor.

BROKEN BRITAIN? LET ME EXPLAIN WHO IS BREAKING US People keep asking why the UK feels broken — why public services collapse, why councils go bankrupt, why families drown in rent, the NHS is on its knees. Here’s the truth nobody in Westminster will say out loud: Britain isn’t Poor. It’s Being Drained. Drained by a tax system designed to protect wealth, punish workers, and let global investors treat our country like a vending machine. The UK’s £3 trillion debt isn’t an accident — it’s a transfer of wealth. Every year, over £100 billion goes straight to bondholders in interest payments, money that should be fixing GP appointments, repairing schools, supporting disabled people, building social housing, funding mental health care, keeping youth services alive, and stopping councils from collapsing. Instead, it’s siphoned upward to pension funds, banks, sovereign wealth funds, and global investors. The poor pay tax, the government pays interest, the wealthy collect the money — that’s the pipeline. And here’s the kicker: the poor can’t escape it. They can’t move, can’t hide income, can’t shift profits to Luxembourg, can’t hire accountants to “optimise” tax, can’t buy property through offshore trusts. They pay PAYE, NI, VAT, council tax — every unavoidable tax that hits the bottom hardest. Meanwhile the wealthy live in a world where tax is optional, debt is profitable, and the system bends around them. If everyone paid fair tax, the UK would transform every single year. HMRC’s own numbers show £30–40 billion is lost annually through avoidance, evasion, loopholes, and “creative accounting”. If that money actually arrived, NHS waiting lists would fall, councils would stop collapsing, social care would stabilise, schools wouldn’t be begging parents for glue sticks, homelessness programmes would get funded, public transport would improve, debt would stop spiralling, and interest payments would shrink. Every year gets better -- Every family feels the difference. Every public service breathes again. But it doesn’t happen, because the people who benefit from the gaps are the ones with access to power. The system is biased because capital is mobile and people are not. If you tax workers, they stay. If you tax wealth, it can leave. So governments squeeze the immobile group — ordinary people — and tiptoe around the mobile group — global capital. No threats, no conspiracies, just structural leverage. And nowhere is this clearer than London property. London isn’t a housing market anymore — it’s a global asset class. Investment giants like BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield and Sovereign Wealth Funds buy entire blocks, entire developments, entire neighbourhoods, often through offshore companies, trusts, shell entities, and complex ownership chains. And here’s the part that should make people furious: many of these structures legally minimise UK tax to almost nothing. Global investors avoid UK tax in ways that are all legal and all outrageous: buying the company that owns the building instead of the building itself to avoid stamp duty; holding property through Jersey, Luxembourg or Cayman entities to shift profits offshore; loading UK subsidiaries with “internal debt” so profits vanish as interest payments; using REIT structures so rental income becomes tax‑free; exploiting double‑tax treaties so gains are taxed at ultra‑low rates abroad; using nominee directors to hide beneficial ownership. The average person pays tax on their wages. These guys buy a skyscraper and pay less tax than a nurse. And politicians won’t touch it — ever. Because the same investment firms fund political events, hire ex‑ministers, lobby aggressively, threaten “capital flight”, own media influence, promise “growth”, offer “partnerships”, and bankroll think tanks. No MP wants to be the one who “scared off investment”. So the loopholes stay open, the tax system stays soft, and public services stay starved. Meanwhile ordinary families pay the price: rising rents, collapsing councils, NHS delays, school shortages, social care crises, unaffordable housing, stagnant wages, higher taxes, shrinking services. Not because Britain is poor, but because Britain is bled dry by a system designed to protect wealth at the expense of everyone else. The injustice is simple: the people who benefit most from Britain contribute least to Britain, and the people who rely on Britain the most are punished the hardest. This isn’t left or right. It’s structural. It’s systemic. It’s deliberate. The UK tax system was built for a world where capital moved slowly, companies stayed put, landlords were local, wealth was visible, and ownership was simple. None of that is true anymore, but the rules never changed. If people understood this, they’d be furious — not at each other, not at the poor, not at the working class, but at the architecture that funnels wealth upward, protects global investors, and leaves public services to rot. Britain isn’t broken. It’s being broken. And until people see the system for what it is, nothing will change — because no politician will ever go against the donors, lobbyists, and financial interests who benefit from keeping things exactly as they are.

Please keep worrying about hoards of fighting age men and try to forget that small boat crossings are down 44%, deportations are at their highest level in ten years and immigration is 82% lower. I need everyone to be furious, otherwise what is the point of me?

This is what happens when you elect the far right I would hope it might be a warning to Reform/Restore/RegurgitateHate that just because Your Hero sings the same song as you regarding immigrants, that doesn't mean he actually cares about you, your lives, your future, you children, your pension, your health, your well-being... But they will likely ignore me, scream "Lefty!" in my face and vote to destroy their own lives anyway.

Heartbreaking. Anyone who still can't understand why people would risk their lives like this needs to watch the dramatisation around Danny and Victor in "Years and Years." Maybe then you might get an inkling.

Big wake up call for the global gambling industry. Get your house in order, embrace the consumer protection agenda otherwise you’ll just get banned. 75% of Brazilians support prohibition because operators have taken the piss reuters.com/world/americas/b…

I gave up after The Joshua Tree and threw in the towel completely that time Bono phoned the Pope on stage. Talk about delusions of grandeur...!

If it were possible, I would swap my life for yours quite easily. We would start with a two week trial period. Just to check you were comfortable with somebody having to lift you on and off the toilet and perform associated cleaning duties every time you needed a pooh. Also, be warned that you'll only be able to use a one typing finger, or two on an extremely good day, but don't worry because you can easily learn the joys of speech recognition software. It definitely never fucks up on a monumental scale. Now, what else is that you need to know? Oh yes, among other things, say goodbye to leaving the house whenever you like, you'll find that you will only be able to go anywhere if there is somebody available to take you and look after your whilst you are there. Still think I have a good life, "courtesy of the taxpayer"

Remember the rule, folks;: Nothing justifies October 7th. October 7th justifies everything.

Don't worry Jess, once Reform are in power you will have no employment rights at all, which should make the process of sacking you much simpler and less upsetting. 😁

Took the govt long enough to speak out on this.

Who do we owe the money to Shaz?

Memories of Jez being greeted by school kids like he was a superstar (because he was). The kids are all right. We need to trust them, support them, empower them, and impart our wisdom. Above all, we need to let them blossom and flourish
