The government calls it a thank-you.
Police say it barely buys a Big Mac per shift.
The latest pay award is less about gratitude — and more a sign of contempt for those who risk everything but can’t strike.
Time to Pay the Bill.

“George Osborne says UK has been left behind in cryptocurrency boom. Osborne, who has an advisory role at the crypto exchange firm Coinbase ….” These evil grifters are happy to impoverish the rest of us with austerity while busy feathering their own plush nests. #Tories #Austerity #Capitalism

The government wants you to think the Timms Review is a win — but the truth is, it does nothing to stop the £5bn in planned cuts to PIP and disability benefits.
It’s a delay tactic wrapped in the language of consultation. Disabled people are being set up to co-sign their own harm.
We explain exactly what’s happening — and why the fight is far from over.

"There’s a progressive bubble where everyone has hated Musk for years, where people are instinctively skeptical of rich businessmen, and where they trust the government and the establishment. But there’s a conservative bubble where all these dynamics are reversed. Where there was completely genuine and sincere enthusiasm for the DOGE exercise and a real belief what once Musk popped the hood, he would discover huge amounts of fraud that would make it possible to reduce the deficit without harming anyone. DOGE has succeeded in doing some things, but it has absolutely not succeeded in doing that. It fell short of its targets by hundreds of billions of dollars, not because Musk and his team are stupid or lazy, but because the fraud genuinely does not exist.
That doesn’t mean you can’t cut spending. Republicans are on the verge of taking nearly a trillion dollars out of programs for poor people. But it means that when you take nearly a trillion dollars out of programs for poor people, the material living standards of the most vulnerable kids in the country get worse."

“Zarah Sultana MP speaks to Novara Media exclusively about why she resigned from the Labour Party, what the plan is with her new political party founded with Jeremy Corbyn and how the Left can defeat Nigel Farage”
“New Corbyn [& Sultana] party now as big as Labour was at its peak during the Corbyn years”
by Ricky Hale And Council Estate Media on Substack
“As Zarah Sultana pointed out in an interview with Novara Media, we were told to leave Labour so we did, and now we are told we are splitting the left-wing vote, but we are the left and we are taking all of those votes”

Following the formal approval of the 2026 budget, German Vice-Chancellor and Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil has announced significant austerity measures across... https://news.osna.fm/?p=9880 | #news #ahead #austerity #budget #coalition
After a decade of cuts, debt, and sell-offs, the UK economy is barely functioning.
Ray Dalio calls it a “doom loop.” Kerry-Anne Mendoza called it a “zombie economy.” Jeremy Corbyn warned about a “zombie democracy.”
Now he and Zarah Sultana are forming a new party.
Can it break the cycle — or will it become the next ghost in Westminster?

I.v.m. het partijprogramma van de VVD:
Het doel van bezuinigingen op het sociaal vangnet, zoals die €7 miljard per jaar bezuinigen op ouderen terwijl Shell & co €37,5 miljard per jaar cadeau krijgen, is necropolitiek die de weg naar fascisme asfalteert.

De VVD weet dit verdomd goed en heeft er (minstens) sinds Bolkestein hard aan gewerkt.
"The GOP is creating a nightmare with the clawbacks and the evisceration of Congress’ power of the purse. Everyone should tell Trump and Vought to take their cookie cutter #Project2025 extreme gameplan and go jump in the Lake."

I.v.m. het partijprogramma van de VVD:
The goal of austerity, or cuts, or: "reforms specifically aimed at curbing these aging-related expenses" in the Netherlands, isn't a balanced budget, but necropolitics paving the road for fascism:

Dus hou op met "de VVD begrijpt niet ..." en varianten. Ze weten dit verdomd goed en hebben er decennia hard aan gewerkt.
"With no possibility of rebuilding an economy based on consumer goods for everyone (in a context of global overproduction and a proportional deficit in purchasing power), irretrievably behind in the race for cutting-edge technologies, Europe is embarking on the creation of an industry of massive, constant and guaranteed waste, with financing guaranteed by the states."
"This means that the center of the European economy is shifting, through the planned action of those who run it, from the production of goods and services (particularly social services) to armaments. This is the sure path to a near future of worsening poverty."

Cut backs, cut backs, cut backs.....it's all the UK can manage....

"Elon Musk’s associates at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have begun vacating their headquarters at the General Services Administration (GSA) in Washington, DC. An apocalyptic scene of toddler play sets, mattresses, and pillows remains.
Near rooms where DOGE once operated, a seemingly abandoned children’s wooden kitchen set sits next to a rainbow climbing arch and an easel covered in crumpled paper, according to photos obtained by WIRED. Other children’s toys are within reach, with colorful books and other playthings neatly organized in white plastic bins. A few related items are strewn about the floor. Nearby, trash bags full of pillows and five mattresses, some with sheets and mattress toppers still on them, are stuffed in a corner.
It looks like a scene out of a zombie movie, where villagers had to flee in the middle of the night to avoid a raid. But it’s not a movie; it’s the aftermath of DOGE’s wholesale assault on the GSA and the federal government writ large. DOGE isn’t gone, but as it morphs into its new phase, post-Musk’s chain-saw-style leadership, the children’s toys have been left behind."

So, when I first saw this headline, I thought it was about the #UnitedStates making #EPA staffing cuts. Nope! It's the #UK! And this has been going on for a while now!
Thousands of #RiverPollution tests cancelled because of staff shortages
by Jonah Fisher, July 24, 2025
Excerpt: "Staffing problems are nothing new at the EA. In 2023 its chairman Alan Lovell told parliament that it had 'struggled with recruitment and retention of staff'.
"Internal emails obtained by campaign groups #Greenpeace and #Desmog through freedom of information requests were shared with the BBC. They show EA officials discussing the impact of staff departures on testing and saying that others planned to leave.
"One senior official, writing an email to her colleagues, said it was 'not good news I'm afraid' adding 'this isn't where we want to be (again)'.
"Helen Nightingale, who worked at the #EnvironmentAgency as a catchment planner, analysing data from its water quality programme until 2022, says that while she was there she saw a shift of focus away from serious investigation to trying to find 'successes'.
"She also said that morale was low: "The pay is not great – we didn't have pay rises for years due to #austerity.
" 'But a lot people are in it [the EA] because they want to make a difference – and when you're not even getting that - well, what's the point?'
"Documents seen by the BBC show that the work affected by the cuts to testing this year included investigations into the water industry in various parts of the country, and monitoring of #ProtectedAreas including the #RiverWye, which is currently facing a #pollution crisis linked to intensive #ChickenFarming."
