🤯 Unreal! This MP thinks workers are all swinging the lead! No one should have to choose between their health and their income. Decent sick pay and sick leave are not perks, they're essential rights 📣

📊Today’s new energy price cap means bills will go down. Briefly. But the war in Iran means they will soon bounce back up. 💰Unite research showed energy companies made £30bn profits in 2024. That's around £500 per household, and a quarter of business energy bills! 📣 Nationalise the energy companies
🤔 Why are your bills going up again? Ofgem today announced another rise on the energy cap. 🚀 Bills are rocketing as temperatures plunge. 💰 Energy companies made £30bn in profits. The average UK houseold paid £500 of your bill straight to the profits of these companies
🤯A year of all out strike action by bin workers. A year of failure by @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social The council is attempting to snatch £8k a year from bin workers' pay. It has wasted £33m trying to break the strike & has failed to attend a single negotiation for nine months!
😲 You won't believe what industry insiders are telling Unite about the job losses at Lindsey Oil Refinery. “The government’s commitment to preserve jobs and support the continuation of an oil refinery at Lindsey is ringing hollow. This all looks shady at best” @unitesharon.bsky.social Read on 👀 🧵
🤔 So, what would you do? 👑 The King's speech set's out the government's plan. How would you tackle the #CostofLiving crisis, inequality, jobs...? Introduce a Wealth Tax? 💰⚖️ Nationalise energy profits? 🔌🏭🇬🇧 Invest in jobs and homes? 👷🏠🌱
🐀 When someone on £1,200 a day accuses bin workers of demanding 'huge sums of money' we smell a rat! And that's not just from all the rubbish @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social has let pile up over the last year

In 2029–30, students and graduates will pay more in HECS indexation than multinational gas corporations pay in tax on our oil and gas. Let that sink in. Australians deserve a fair share of our natural resources, and a government with the courage to stand up for them.

They could do this to us all. Reverse engineering a crime---he must be guilty of something, we will find it. See he is a bad guy. So according to Bondi 'they' are right and you don't have any rights if we say you are a bad guy. These people scare me.
