If trickle-down economics worked at all, the world gaining 400 billionaires last year would have set off an economic boom, given everyone raises, and lowered our prices.
But it didn't. Because trickle-down economics is a scam designed to make the rich richer off the rest of us.

Both were 100 percent right about the Orange Dictator..
France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?

The governments plan for immigration will keep people working in key industries like care in temporary status for a decade or more, it will keep people in insecure work, make them more easily exploitable & marginalised -when did that become the policy of a Labour government?

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.
For a lot of women and children the most dangerous place is their home.

And you don’t have to be a practicing Catholic to think — what the hell is wrong with the Pentagon’s mouthpiece?
This is repugnant.
Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:
⚡️While Ukraine aid runs dry, Trump asks for record-breaking $1.5 trillion in military spending.
The proposed budget calls for a $445 billion (44%) increase in defense funds in 2027 — as U.S. military aid to Ukraine has dropped by 99% under Trump's watch.
Mum hospitalised in 1st wave, Dad died; she never came home, got decanted to care home, put in solitary confinement. Unspeakable misery. Boris and crew made terrible decisions, fuelled by hubris and a desire to party. I'm incandescent with rage. (Thank you Christina for making sure we don't forget).
Never forget the ferret experiment. Showed that SARS-CoV-2 was airborne. Was dismissed by infectious disease doctors "animal data, doesn't count". Many humans died as a result.

Understand that if Trump ends his War as he just told Reuters and US voters he would, it's the second war he's lost to Iran in a year. No regime change. No nuclear material recovered. No deal to stop enrichment. Strait of Hormuz closed. Ballistic missiles falling on Israel daily.
Go Sisters! Lovely story. #ageinginplace

Didn’t want to get affected like this giving evidence. Caught me by surprise. We all lost so much. We have to act on the inquiry’s recommendations. We have to be better now, so that we can be better next time.
The Prime Minister’s plan to offer rapid routes to settlement for those earning six-figure salaries whilst punishing and making lower-paid workers wait up to 15 years appears to be based on the notion that care workers are “low-skilled” because they are low-paid - its a disgrace
Did you watch Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! Sick of sewage? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...
I didn’t lose my ability to see beauty.
Moreover, the war taught me to see it everywhere.
Beauty is not a distraction.
It shows how amazing our planet is.
The one we should protect.
