Pension triple lock: what's REALLY happening.

There’s a huge amount of misunderstanding out there. My must-watch mini-briefing I hope keeps it as simple as possible, so you can see how it’d likely roughly really work. As for is it good or bad… that’s your decision, not mine.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨

💸 The UK lost out on £59.2bn in unpaid taxes last year— that means 6.4% of all tax owed was avoided, evaded, or accidentally unpaid.

That’s according govt’s new Tax Gap report (2026): www.gov.uk/government/s...

Huge tax changes to redistribute wealth, return of key public services to public control, return of the right to protest, changes to political funding, the banning of all MP lobbying/hospitality, tell Israel to f**k right off and ban Twitter - when you’re ready mate 😁

Amazon made £55 MILLION in profit in the UK last year, but only paid a fraction of what they should in tax. Jeff Bezos is rubbing his hands together, avoiding tax, while we pay our dues. Don't think that's right? Sign the petition now.

It is a good thing that No.10 attacking Vance is the first and most read story on BBC News, but ultimately there is going to have to be more substantive action on foreign interference in our politics and national life, starting with money and social media. Govt has dithered.

Palantir, the controversial U.S. company working with ICE and the Israeli military, has access to our private data via NHS databases. We need the Government to trigger the break clause on their contract NOW. 🚨Can you sign and share?

The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...

NATO Article V has been triggered only once: by the US after 9/11.

When our ally called, we in the UK didn't hesitate to stand with them.

636 British men & women paid the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan, with many more living with their injuries today.
