Joseph Rowntree Foundation: UK Poverty 2026: The Essential Guide to Understanding “Deep” Poverty in the UK! (27.1.2026)

Disabled people face a higher risk of poverty. This is driven partly by the additional costs associated with disability and ill-health, and partly by the barriers to work that disabled people face. However, the proportion of disabled working-age adults in work increased from 42% in 2010/11 to 53% in 2023/24, while poverty rates remained steady over that period. In the latest data, there were 17 million disabled people in the UK — that is, 1 in 4 people (24%) — and almost 4 in 10 families contained at least 1 person who was disabled. The poverty rate for disabled people was 28%, 8 percentage points higher than the rate for people who were not disabled. Half of all people who were disabled and living in poverty in the latest data had a long-term, limiting mental condition — around 2.4 million people. The poverty rate for this group was 34%, compared with 28% for people with a physical disability.

London: Highest Unemployment Rate in UK! (27.1.2026)

This was the attack on our psychological, intellectual, and emotional freedom (the Tories effectively banned the Red Flag – equating it with the Nazi German swastika and far-right terrorist groups) – whilst on the economic and material front, prices rose by five-times over-night! This has not stopped with the election of Trump – but has got far worse whilst wages stagnate (we were already suffering from so-called Austerity) and even reduce in real terms! Businesses are collapsing, doors are closing, and it looks more and more like the bourgeois capitalists are preparing the UK and EU for a major global conflict as a means to achieve full employment through military conscription, and achieving full industrial output via arms production. Any excess working-class population will be reduced by massive losses on the battlefield. This process will re-set the populations of the US, UK, and EU to the point achieved in 1945 – and prepare the populations for decades of recuperative economic and social growth. It does not matter who the enemy is – just as long as there is an “enemy”. We must all hate the government decreed “enemy” and agree to kill each other. This is the boom and bust economic activity associated with predatory capitalist. Capitalism collapsed in the US in 1929 – with Hitler coming to power in 1933 (Mussolini had already came to power in 1922), with the Spanish Civil War occurring (1936-1939), and then finally WWII (1939-1945) – with America joining in in 1941. All the mechanisms introduced post-1945 supposedly put into place to ensure a perpetual peace – have failed due to a lack of will to maintain and perpetuate them. Once again, the myth that “war” is easier and preferable to a “just peace” has been fully established. We are on the brink people – with the US, Neo-Nazi Ukraine, and Zionist Israel (the war-monger triad) – about to push us over the edge!

Modern Russia & North Korea are Staunch Allies!

Russia: Korean People’s Army [as of 2024-2025 – 10 Months] Lost 101 Casualties in Kursk! (26.1.2026)

It is worth mentioning that the DPRK and Russia officially signed the DPRK-Russia Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2024.

The treaty stipulates that when one of the two sides is at war due to armed aggression by an individual country or multiple countries, the other side shall immediately mobilize all means at its disposal to provide military and other assistance in accordance with Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations and the laws of North Korea and Russia.

Based on this clause, North Korean forces were strictly limited to Russia Kursk Oblast to perform tasks within the territory, to avoid direct involvement in the Ukrainian mainland operation in Donbass.

DPRK: Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Guides Creation of Sculptures for Memorial Museum of Combat Feats at Overseas Military Operations! (26.1.2026)

Many statues of heroes produced in the war for defending the country in the 1950s such as Ri Su Bok, Jo Kun Sil and Kang Ho Yong have been erected in different parts of the country until now, but today figures of ordinary soldiers of our country, who can be seen everywhere, imposingly stand on the peak of honour, the platform of dignity, embodying the political and ideological mightiness peculiar to the Korean People’s Army, he said, adding: This is a precious reality proving not only the succession but also the victory of our cause. Distinguished heroism of the victorious wartime generation has been developed into mass heroism of the whole army, and herein lies a proud review of our Party’s long history of building a politically and ideologically powerful army.
