THESE ISLES: Aneurin Bevan (1897-1960), Welsh Labour politician, spearheaded the creation of the UK’s National Health Service in 1948 and was one of the most influential left-wing politicians in the Isles’ history. He overcame a speech impediment to become a renowned orator. 1/10

Rolls-Royce boss defends state aid bid for new engine despite share buyback British aero-engine company will return between £7bn and £9bn to investors over next three years amid soaring demand

Corporate Welfare

Rolls-Royce boss defends state aid bid for new engine despite record profits and £9bn share buyback.

Corporate bosses attack benefits for the needy and decent wages for workers but want free money.

No free money for any corporation without equity stake.

£900m dividends paid. Customer bills up 26%.

Companies have 1200 criminal convictions. Fines not collected.

Sewage dumping killing people.

No exec prosecuted.

End the scam. Must Nationalise.

Reform accused of ‘pitching for votes of misogynists and homophobes’ Charities have warned that scrapping the Equality Act would be a ‘significant step backwards’ for discrimination protections in Britain

Suella Braverman says Reform would scrap the Equality Act 2010.

Law prevents discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender, marital status, race, religion and sexual orientation.

Reform taking us back to Victorian era, removing hope.

Our predecessors fought hard for social rights.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

VICTORY FOR THE IRON! A brace from Carlton Ubaezuonu off the bench seals three points for the Iron, who come from behind to win. Ubaezuonu is denied his hat-trick from the spot via a penalty save, but it’s the three points that matter!

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Why the banking industry is not a paragon of free markets, efficiency, or honesty Despite making record profits and paying record returns to shareholders it resents paying taxes.

State support for UK banks

Bailouts: Govts found £1162bn (£133bn cash+£1,029bn guarantees) in 2008
£895bn QE
State is the lender of last resort
£85k bank deposit safety guarantee
PFI profits
£22bn a year interest on reserves deposited with Bank of England

Who else gets this level of state support?

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

The government must ensure fair distribution of income 'The average real wage of workers has hardly moved from the 2008 level whilst bosses never had it so good.'

The state we're in

UK full-time employee median wage, £30,816.
4.5m jobs pay less than the real Living Wage.
1.17m workers on zero-hour contracts.
34% of Universal Credit claimants are in work.
16m Britons live in poverty.

Can't build economy on poverty.

Must increase worker share of GDP.

Average real wage of UK workers is stuck the 2008 level.

Some bosses are collecting 1,112 times more than the average employee wage. Millions forced to rely on food banks and charity.

Workers have no say in income distribution. Govts do nothing.

Can't build economy/society on huge inequalities.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
