Tax the Royal family and tell them to pay for their own security

Stop foreign money coming into politics. Stop lobbying. Stop billionaires owning the media. Invest in council housing. Tax wealth. Proportional representation.

Rightwing out of touch Reform and Restore Party billionaire oligarchy corporations should heavily tax like NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is doing. Corrupt out of touch corrupt British royals should be taxed because they doesn't pay taxes. Corrupt Prince William doesn't pay any kind of taxes also doesn't even pay papercorn rents in UK.

Starmer was a terrible disappointment to me. I'm expecting much better from Burnham. I can roll with the disappointments, it's the hope that crushes me every time!❤

Looks like she is reading a script.

Tax wealth, not work.

as usual this is just talk and window dressing:
- we are going to do things differently!
- ok so that's because you disagree with the current government actions?
- no, not at all
- so what is going to change?

the real answer is nothing much

Never the side of us Brits that's for sure
@
Gee…if only there were some obvious way for Labour to remember whose side they are meant to be on.

Check the name on the tin, Andy…you’ve got the ultimate Cliff note. Tax wealth…the assignment couldn’t POSSIBLY be easier.

They haven’t really explained how localism will actually be a benefit. There’s a danger it will just lead to multiple people doing each job across the country, increasing costs for no reason.

WE DONT WANT PUBLIC CONTROL. WE WANT PUBLIC OWNERSHIP!!!

Love these sorts of interviews, an interviewer asking worthless questions to a politician who is in no position to answer them

Burnham stepping up to the big stage! That Rayner comeback feels like a power-up move to shift the needle further left. Do we think this lineup has the stats to actually change the game, or is it just a cosmetic skin? Who else is on your dream team?
