Really horrific news coming from Michigan.

Yet another attack on one of our Jewish communities. We must all stand together against hate.

✍️ PETITION: Tax the gas industry its fair share

The Australian Senate - with Labour and Liberals combined - DEFEATED Senator Pockock's proposition for an inquiry into the Australian gas industry's dodging of all manner of taxation to benefit us, the public.

Our pollies DO NOT represent us.

You know the mainstream media is worried when they start putting you down 😁.

Keep up the disruptive work @zackpolanski.bsky.social, you are fantabulously positively impactful.

What a delightful change from other parties' fear mongering.

Top Barclays executive to lead UK banking supervisor Katharine Braddick’s appointment to PRA comes as government seeks to reform regulation to boost growth

Top Barclays executive to lead UK banking supervisor.

She will also serve as one of the BoE’s deputy governors

Expect more deregulation.

Revolving doors and cognitive capture is now the norm in the regulatory structures.

A regulator can't promote industry and protect people from corporate abuses

The Establishment, now called the Epstein Class, has been launching power struggle wars for centuries, for ever!

Now we are more aware of what is going on and can understand their aims and be more empowered.

"This might be the tipping point. Corruption, corrupt Zionism, and deranged world leaders whose appeal is based on fascism might have serious consequences.

Don’t use β€˜boilerplate’ reasons to justify big executive pay rises, UK firms warned Investment Association, influential group of shareholders, urges pay committees to avoid β€˜benchmarking’

Don’t use β€˜boilerplate’ reasons to justify big exec pay rises, UK firms warned.

Exec pay has no link to performance. Remuneration cttees, non-execs serve their paymasters.

Need worker/consumer elected directors on boards, let them also vote on exec pay to secure equitable distribution of income.

NHS staff will be working through Christmas whilst MPs wind down for recess.

That's why we're making sure every single MP receives one of our cardsβ€”a reminder of what we stand for and who we're fighting for.

650 cards. 650 MPs. One powerful message.

Corporate welfare is out of control.

One example - Drax produces electricity by burning trees, most expensive electricity, UK's biggest single polluter.

In 2024, Drax had Β£1.06bn operating profit, paid Β£100m dividend, Β£300m in share buyback.

Received billions in subsidies for decades. Why?
