The idea that 50+% of people should have to work until they are 70-75 in the 21st century should start a revolution.

I will never vote Labour again. Not in my lifetime. I will never forget the skeletal faces of starving children—cut off from food just beyond a sealed border. A border kept closed by choice. I will never forget the silence bought by political donations—or blind loyalty that bind…
The new party doesn’t even have a name yet—and we already have over 100,000 sign-ups! Proud to be building something bold and hopeful with the Alliance but more significantly with you the People! @jeremycorbyn, @zarahsultana, @iqbalmohamedMP, @AdnanHussainMP, @ShockatAdam.
In just 8 hours over 100,000 people have signed up to the new party Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana created. Sign up here: yourparty.uk
Keir Starmer is complicit. We will never forget.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
"I am very comfortable with the support that we give to Israel" - David Lammy, House of Commons, 3 Sept 2024. This quote and this picture should be on every billboard in Tottenham at the next election.

Goldman Sachs boss wants more deregulation, tax perks for the rich Post-2008 crash bank reforms being reversed. Govts bail out banks; guarantee their profits (PFI); rarely prosecute bankers for abuses; gave them £895bn QE But they want more. news.sky.com/story/goldman-…
You never hear these Tufton Street shills lamenting that the £158 billion in corporate subsidies hoovered up by their paymasters every year are unsustainable.
For the period 1995 to 2015, finance industry made a negative contribution of £4,500bn to the UK economy. Nearly two years GDP was wiped out and living standards have not recovered. But UK govts are again deregulating. It won't end differently. leftfootforward.org/2025/07/rachel…
This vile, hateful ghoul says people aren’t saving enough for retirement then votes to cut the income of working people with disabilities. They can’t afford to save so she makes it worse. Then blames them. Pure evil.
The work and pensions secretary has announced a review of the state pension age, explaining that almost half of the working age population isn't saving anything for their retirement Full story ➡️ trib.al/OMEm1Or
The rich aren’t just rich — they’re scared of losing face, scared of taxes and scared of change. In this video, I explore how the wealthy protect their status by opposing reform, hoarding money, and resisting innovation, plus the cost to the rest of us. youtu.be/RBFneEtsm3U?si…
"The Guardian view on the water industry: a return to public ownership should still be on the table." There is an all pervasive stench within Ofwat, Defra and the Treasury of small state / non interventionist thinking, it is costing and will continue to cost water bill payers…
Male life expectancy in Glasgow is also 73, meaning if the pension age were to rise to 74 that the average Glaswegian man wouldn't even claim a state pension. There's massive class injustices in these proposals, including the forms of work we'd be asking folk to do in their 70s.
State pension age could rise to 74. Male life expectancy in areas such as Blackpool is 73 years. Something needs to change.
Nadia's cousin Sally, and her four children are being starved by Israel. Millions in Gaza are being deliberately starved while Israel withholds food mere kilometres away. Words are not enough. Governments must act and force Israel to open the borders and allow aid to flow in.
