Energy firms profitting.

Tories and their pals in the boardrooms scratching each others' backs?

"Large parts of the British public are so inured by an imperial fantasy of Britain that they would marry a river turd if you put it in a beret and pinned some medals on it." https://www.thecanary.co/uk/2023/07/06/from-johnny-mercer-to-captain-tom-the-weird-politics-of-the-ex-military-grift/ #Foodbanks #UkFoodbanks #CostOfLiving #CostOfGreed #StopFundingWar #FundCommunityNotWar #BuildCommunitiesNotMilitary #MilitaryWarCrimes #Imperialism #ArmsTrade #EndTheArmsTrade #StopTheWar #Military #MilitaryGrift

I love articles like this that try to garner sympathy for hard done by landlords: "if I don't get my own way I may have to sell my FOUR homes" - cry me a river!

@ronanmcd It's not my 1st business. And had other businesses in between that failed but it always comes back to coffee because we do it well and make it work.

Like most people the pandemic was tough (we wouldn't survive another). #CostofGreed (aka #CostofLving) crisis hurts us - it's hard to lean on people who are also struggling but makes us angry billionaires are hoarding the wealth.

But also lucky enough to know I'm not in a micro-managed call centre job with no prospects.

Oooh boy. Record profits for the firm so afraid of its poorest customers missing £10 payments they break into their houses and install prepayment meters

When will we remove the social licence for extractional firms such as British Gas to keep exploiting people? #CostOfGreed https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/feb/16/british-gas-owner-centrica-reports-record-profits-of-33bn?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

From @newint on Twitter.

As over 260m people were pushed into poverty in 2022, the wealthiest people in the world gained a record amount of wealth in just 2 years.

The system is ABSOLUTELY designed to do that.

This isn't a #costofliving crisis, it's a #costofgreed crisis.

So following on from the article about the Arvato Financial Scumbags, I then read about Shell. I’d ask how on earth are they getting away with it! But it’s obvious. A whole cesspit of greedy vultures, some of which, will no doubt be powerful self centred pricks… ooops sorry meant to say shareholders. But hey if the cap fits. Its a pretty depressing world we live in. Time to pick my camera up and duck my head in the sand again! #shell #greed #costofgreed #Costofgreedcrises #WindfallTax

"lol, you're 29 and still live with your parents? fuckin loser lmao" - steve, 32, lives paycheck to paycheck, can barely afford rent, has piles of student loan debt

We all want to be independent in a society which doesn't support it due to corporate greed. Maybe instead of fighting over privilege, we could fight to live better than we do? #living #costofgreed #livingcrisis #privilege

So it's 2022 & the nation is in the middle of a cost of living crisis & for the first time in UK history. MPs will be allowed to claim expenses for Christmas Food, Decorations & Parties.

MPs who already receive £80k salaries & up to £200k expenses...

They don't even care how it looks anymore. The Nation is being stripped bare & YOU are paying for it.
Yes YOU in PAYE who pat your taxes & work hard for table scraps. #EnoughIsEnough #MPs #Christmas #MPExpenses #costofgreed

The consequences of under investment and lack of social responsibly. The result of an uncaring and shortsighted gov't putting profit before people.

There is nothing left to cut.

Just find out what Dido Harding did with the £37 billion and get it back, please.
