The wealth of UK billionaires is up by £106,500,000,000 in the pandemic. But instead of making them pay more, the Tories are raising National Insurance, hitting low paid & young workers the hardest. Social care should be funded with a wealth tax, not a tax on the working class.

In case you're still confused about why the US security state and political class loathes Julian Assange so much and wants him imprisoned forever, watch this video of him in 2011 talking about the purpose of the war in Afghanistan. He's imprisoned because he's a real journalist:

Julian Assange speaking in 2011: "The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the US and Europe through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security elite. The goal is an endless war, not a successful war" #Afghanistan

Just fucking incredible that the Health Secretary is announcing he has mild covid thanks to two jabs 2 days before throwing open the nightclubs and removing all masks while half the population are not double jabbed

James Felton (@JimMFelton)Sat, 17 Jul 2021 12:57 +0000

Sajid Javid is indeed lucky he’s had two vaccine doses and his symptoms are mild. But what about the 47% of the population who are not yet “double jabbed”? Javid is literally advertising the wisdom of postponing so-called Freedom Day until more of us are vaccinated 🤷‍♀️

Existing as a trans person in the UK is very weird right now: apparently cis gatekeepers should have the right to determine what I can do with my body for my entire life, but asking people to wear a mask during a global health emergency is a bridge too far? Make it make sense.

I remain convinced that it’s all staged to give Hancock a way out that is not directly due to the government’s (and his) disastrous handling of the pandemic. Resigning over a ‘fling’ means the blame lies with him; resigning over Covid could see the downfall of the entire lot.
