This is so predictable/depressing from Keir Starmer & shows a complete lack of understanding of what the country needs. The UK has endured enough 'tough times' - time for redistribution & investment via taxing the rich, which is a popular decision!

Alternatively, just tax the rich.

When politicians say that things are going to get worse – that's a choice they've made. We can say no to austerity, cuts, and underinvestment with one simple, popular choice: tax the rich. Please. Just tax the rich.

None of us can thrive in a country divided between a minority receiving an ever larger share of the country's income & wealth, & everyone else receiving a declining share... #TaxTheRich !!

"A study by LSE finds that the rich are, in fact, very unlikely to relocate because of tax rises alone, particularly those living in some of the world’s largest cities, such as New York, London and Tokyo." ft.com/content/42327e…

Our new #WomanOfTheNorth report lays bare the unequal challenges faced by women living in the North of England - who live shorter lives, work more hours for less pay and are more likely to be an unpaid carer than women in other regions of England 1/13 healthequitynorth.co.uk/vast-inequalit…

This staggering amount shows in £s the fiscal value of women's unpaid care in the North EACH YEAR - labour that is unrecognised and exploited for the benefit of capital.

We've got a fantastic Symposium lined up for 16th October! This is a great opportunity for ECRs whose work encompasses young people, austerity and future lives. If that's you, why not send us an abstract?

This makes me so angry! This utterly shocking testimony ought to provoke an immediate response from govt to take urgent action & introduce #FreeSchoolMealsForAll now! We are a rich nation & we're badly failing children experiencing #foodinsecurity To do nothing would be criminal

We want more support for children at school. Free schools meals for all would remove unnecessary stigma and social exclusion. Listen to Nanda Changing Realities speak about the importance of free school meals The Robertson Trust

Less people here than died that day. The contempt is palpable

Whenever you listen to Rachel Reeves ask one simple question, which is who gains most from what she's proposing? Unless it's those who need most support in our society she will betraying everything The Labour Party should stand for.

When leaders like Starmer blather on about “tough choices”, why is it *always* code for hitting some of the poorest hardest? Where’s the “tough choice” of a wealth tax on the super-rich? Why do shivering pensioners have to pay the price for “fixing the foundations”? #bbclaurak

Apartheid Israel is accelerating the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, and committing acts of genocide on the way. How long will it take to UN Member states to impose sanctions on this serial violator of int'l law?
