The right wing elite are ruthless in protecting their own and getting what they want.
They wanted Johnson. (And what a disaster that was for us).
Now they want Farage. (Would be an off the scale catastrophe for the country).
Time we woke up to the betrayal.

The Confidence Trick That Put Boris Johnson Into Power Is Now Being Used on Nigel Farage

The same people who convinced the British public to back a catastrophic Boris Johnson premiership are now pulling the same trick again with Nigel Farage

This is wrong - no profits should be made by care providers. The money should be invested in staff and the care provided.

Private care providers in three English regions make £250m in three years

More than third of profits analysed went to firms owned by private equity or based in tax havens, research finds

A woman who lives in Dubai & never actually watches the BBC tells us who should be its next Director General.😳
She then tells us who should be chief of an NHS she never uses. Not only that, she comments about Govt. departments that don’t actually govern her!

SmallTalk TV! 😂

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

My company food allowance is £50 per day. Realised I can buy a couple of homeless people a sizeable meal whenever I travel and consume fewer calories at the same time. Makes me feel great and have had some great chats with real people. Do it if you can.

Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin, “It drives me mad seeing adverts full of black people, full of Asian people, full of anything other than white"

Followed by that time Sarah Pochin said, "My kids say: mum, you're such a moron" 👀

Boris Johnson breached rules designed to stop abuse of contacts made in public office, watchdog finds

Johnson found to have breached rules after refusing to answer specific questions about allegations published by the Guardian Boris Johnson breached rules designed to stop the abuse of contacts and access made in public office, an ethics watchdog has found. Last month the Guardian published revelations about Johnson’s conduct since leaving office. The Boris Files, a trove of documents from the former prime minister’s private office seen by the Guardian, suggested he repeatedly broke rules forbidding him from exploiting contacts made in office for private gain.

So Baroness Mone didn’t just connect PPE Medpro to the government’s VIP lane. She took an active role lobbying for the company:

Nearly five years on, PPE Medpro, the company linked to Michelle Mone, will have to pay back £122m for the defective gowns it sold the government.

Now it’s time to go after the ministers who handed out contracts worth billions to their political chums.

People using the safety of women and girls as an excuse to campaign against marginalised people usually turn out not to care about the safety of women and girls at all. This one, involved in anti-refugee demos in Aberdeen, managed to avoid jail after throwing his then-partner down a set of stairs.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.

Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.

That, right there, is the problem.
