- Reposted by Pete Hudson 🇬🇧🇨🇵🇪🇺🏴🇮🇪🏴Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Claims: "There's been a lot more people that have got into trouble in the UK for free speech offences, than in Putin's Russia."

Hard to survive, raise family even with two wage earners. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. Can't revive economy without boosting purchasing power of the bottom 50%.

- Reposted by Pete Hudson 🇬🇧🇨🇵🇪🇺🏴🇮🇪🏴The worst element of what happened this week isn't even about immigration specifically. It's that Starmer surrendered against populism.
- Reposted by Pete Hudson 🇬🇧🇨🇵🇪🇺🏴🇮🇪🏴The real tragedy is that Island of Strangers would have made a perfectly decent title for a Booker -nominated novel and they've spaffed it on nativism instead.

Bonus for dumping sewage in rivers, not plugging leaks, neglecting investment, fleecing customers. They are laughing all the way to the bank. Govt/Regulators do nothing.

- Reposted by Pete Hudson 🇬🇧🇨🇵🇪🇺🏴🇮🇪🏴The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work. The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the gov’t to rethink
- I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the government to rethink its cruel, shameful & completely irresponsible plan to cut benefits which will plunge 250,000 people, including 50,000 children into poverty - on its own impact analysis This is how you can help youtu.be/XrX4dF3wqt0?...

- Reposted by Pete Hudson 🇬🇧🇨🇵🇪🇺🏴🇮🇪🏴Labour's immigration announcement today is a reflection of the paucity of honest debate by BOTH political parties over the last decade on this issue. Labour has never made a counter-argument, or been honest about economic cost of immigration curbs, so it's stuck making Tory/Reform arguments 1/n

- Farage is able to "shift & reshape" British politics because he has been highlighted by BBC Question Time & other, oligarch owned MSM, for years. The public are being manipulated by big Corp & the nouveau super riche. We need a shift change in journalism oversight, with strict control of standards.
- Reposted by Pete Hudson 🇬🇧🇨🇵🇪🇺🏴🇮🇪🏴If anyone doubts Farage’s endless ability to shift and reshape the contours of British politics, I’d invite them to watch Keir Starmer’s speech today or read the accompanying documents.…
- Reposted by Pete Hudson 🇬🇧🇨🇵🇪🇺🏴🇮🇪🏴Well done @itvnews.bsky.social on pointing out the soaring rise in immigration “since we completed Brexit” - a key factor. This should be pointed out to Farage (who championed Brexit) in every interview

- Reposted by Pete Hudson 🇬🇧🇨🇵🇪🇺🏴🇮🇪🏴Here is the Sun's pitifully small apology for its lie about benefits tourism - a lie that was accepted as truth by millions and helped deliver Brexit. These lies are perverting our democracy. At a minimum, apologies should be published in the same location and size as the lie.
- Reposted by Pete Hudson 🇬🇧🇨🇵🇪🇺🏴🇮🇪🏴Keir Starmer denies pushing anti-migrant policies in order to chase Reform, saying that "I'm doing this because it is right, because it is fair and because it is what I believe". A reminder of what he said he believed when he was running for Labour leader.
