100,000 murdered & 2m people bombed & homeless in Gaza; Iran attacked, Tehran bombed; 800,000 people in Lebanon made homeless. All this death & destruction by UK’s major ally in the Middle East, whose PM is wanted for war crimes. And not a word of criticism from our so-called civil rights lawyer PM.
Shell CEO’s pay jumps 60% to £13.8m. Did yours?
Execs rewarded for profiteering.
Average real pay for workers hardly changed since 2008.
Govts claim worker pay rises are inflationary, but silence on exec pay, dividends, share buyback and corporate tax abuses.

Less than a year later, he has resigned

Will he pay it to Epstein's victims?
Mandelson had danger written all over him. Resigned previous ministerial posts in scandals, relationship with Epstein was known. Starmer still appointed him. Why?
