Meet Simon Thompson, the CEO of Royal Mail. He earns £62,750 a month.

Because its hard to get by on that, he also awarded himself a £140,000 bonus this year.

Simon is threatening workers with job cuts because they've taken strike action over him cutting their pay in real terms.

How did we get into this mess?

⚡️1986 - our energy sold off
🚍1986 - our buses privatised and deregulated
🥤1989 - our water sold off
🚝1994 - our railway privatised
📮2013 - our Royal Mail sold off

2022 - time to take back what's ours!?

President Biden on Liz Truss' mini budget.

" it was predictable... I wasn't the only one who thought it was a mistake.... I disagreed with the policy of cutting taxes for the super wealthy"

RT @RedCollectiveUK
.@IanByrneMP has dedicated his life to supporting the people of Liverpool. He's helped set up food banks, given a voice to those without, supported striking workers and much more. That Starmer's Labour are trying to have him deselected is another sign the Party is morally dead.

Correct fact, false reasoning: the West CHOSE to have a bulk of its goods manufactured in China. https://twitter.com/Galactic_Trader/status/1581306403729207296

Modern monetary theory explains how the left could avoid this. Nothing else does. But Labour explicitly rejects it, preferring the interests of the City over those of people. They think they can do this when riding high in the polls. Pride might deliver their fall.

RT @RichardJMurphy
I see no good outcome from the win for Treasury orthodoxy as a result. I loathed what Truss planned. But the idea that people must be crushed to serve the whims of financial markets is what has won in this battle.

We have our fourth Chancellor since July. There is not a person on earth who can suggest that is a record to be proud of. What does that mean? A thread…..

Welfare: Classy if you’re rich; parasitic if you’re poor.

As the obscene melodrama and bloodletting within the Tories trundles on, 14m people live in poverty, most of whom are unconcerned about the performance of the PM on tv. They’re too busy surviving, trying to put food on the table. Now they need hope. Hope that things can change.

@Keir_Starmer That's not a change of govt... that's just a change of suits.

Just when you think we've run out of ways to be cruel to the animals we eat, someone invents this. 😡

Can you imagine the claustrophobia, confusion, and terror this fish will endure? 😢
