The delivery of excellent public services. The problem with the uk is we want πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ tax but πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ public services.

So change the media. Leverson 2 and make it illegal for non dom ownership of media. Ban toxic algorithms. Unless you can have a conversation with the country that’s honest you don’t have a

Labour had the chance for radical reform yet immediately were chasing public opinion with 5 years to run. What a COLOSSAL FAILURE. I don’t think the Greens are a credible alternative but there message is the right one. The most successful countries are ones with proportional taxation to

I’m pretty sure they’re simply a disruption. I don’t believe they have a scintilla of a chance of winning. But what it does show, as with the Green revolution, people are sick of the status quo. Either change the system for the benefit of the many or as the right would have, abolish tax.

I believe it’s in the GOP DNA. 30% of the USA (and I dare say πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§) are racists. Some more extreme than others. MAGA is the extreme. It would have comfortably fitted in, in Nazi πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ

Trump and his regime only care about enriching their families and cronies. This is all a further money grab at the expense of the world. It’s an utter travesty
