The Tory 'law of the jungle' values of competition and greed are not shared by the British people. There is a great yearning in our country for social justice.

I've written about this for Left Foot Forward 👇

‘Working class solidarity is the very opposite of the law-of-the-jungle values promoted by Conservative ideologues’.

Jon Trickett MP argues that the public has had enough of the Tories and neoliberalism.

A new report about inheritance tax has found that estates £10 million + are paying an effective tax rate of 17%, rather than the standard 40%.

This is because of tax reliefs available to the richest.

Removing 3 key tax reliefs could raise £3bn for the Treasury this year.

Some of us warned about privatisation. Private Water companies borrow money to pay dividends to wealthy shareholders. Meantime they pump crap into our waterways and seas.
After skinting the company the final act is to pass debts over to the taxpayer.

Sunak would stop doctors from issuing ‘sick notes’ in effort to force ill people back to work.
I have a 3-part proposal:
1) fully finance the NHS & cut waiting lists
2) an all-out drive to end poverty which is at the root of so much ill health
3) force bosses to pay living wage

The rise in child poverty between 2015 and 2020 led to over 10,000 additional children entering care in England.

The North accounts for 28% of the child population, but 36% of the children in care.

This is the brutal legacy of Toryism and austerity.

BREAKING 🚨 | Bosses will no longer able to punish striking workers, thanks to UNISON's Supreme Court win.

This is another crushing defeat for the government in court over its oppressive strike laws.

Monumental victory for UNISON - and the whole union movement!

Excellent.
If we want to win we must learn from our past. Standing on the shoulders of giants we can learn so much

Over 5,000 bus services have been cut in England under Tory misrule since 2010.

Bus privatisation and deregulation has failed.

It’s time to take back control.

New NHS waiting list figures have been released.

Patients were waiting for almost 7.54mn appointments in February. The Tories have missed their own targets, again.

We need to rebuild the capacity of the NHS to deliver for patients, through greater funding and in-sourcing.
