“Hands up if you oversaw the greatest act of self-harm in our history, caused thousands of unnecessary deaths, broke your own rules and syphoned £millions to your mates through dodgy contracts”

Today, I asked the Minister for Care whether he recognised the clear contradiction between the Government's policy to bring healthcare out of hospitals and into communities as part of its 10 Year Plan, and the recent decision to withdraw funding for 40% of beds at Arthur Rank.
It's also easier for him to talk as he doesn't have to continually remember what lies have previously been told. Truth talking is straight talking

Campaigning is so easy for Zack Polanski because he can speak the truth and he doesn't have to do what his billionaire donors tell him.

Why would you want to vote for the other billionaire dono... 'Parties' anyway.

Pay attention U.K.

This is what is coming your way if the likes of Farage and his Insurance mates like Arron Banks have their way.
Me and my partner's "Bronze" health insurance plan with Florida Blue is increasing from $511.22 a month to $1,711.75 a month next year. Not quite sure how to fit "$20,541 a year in health insurance premiums" into the budget.

Pretty shocking, this, from a barrister and former Lord Chancellor. Shabana Mahmood, disgracefully peddling misinformation about the Human Rights watchdog.
www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Hmmmm. "The Home Secretary has said it is unacceptable for a European human rights watchdog to “question the validity” of the Supreme Court ruling".

Except the Commissioner didn't question the "validity" of the Supreme Court ruling, he questioned its fairness.
Mahmood hits back at European watchdog over trans and protest rights concerns
The Supreme Court ruled in April that the words ‘woman’ and ‘sex’ in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex.

Presenter tries to Gotcha! Zack Polanski by telling us rich people will sell their assets to avoid a Wealth Tax.

But who are they selling them to?

Because unless it is Mr Nobody they will still be hit by a Wealth Tax.

FINALLY the BBC starts covering what we’ve all already seen.

“A 55-year-old Palestinian woman has been taken to hospital after being clubbed over the head by a masked Jewish settler as she was picking olives.”

‘You’re a psychopathic corpse eater!’

James O’Brien revisits a memorable exchange with caller Laura.
I don't eat meat, haven't for many years, but that is ridiculous. All these vegans have been 'psychopathic corpse eaters' 😂 at some point but this one has gone on a vengeful vegan crusade
Giuffre memoir co-writer says Andrew could help investigation as he was on the island
Andrew isn't going to say he knew anything about what was happening as he's trying very hard to say he's a total innocent in all this, knew absolutely nothing 🙈 🙉 🙊
He thought the UK would be the country to keep all businesses open and make money when other countries closed down. He's a narcissist. Interested in himself, power, money with no interest in how any of it affects others. His policies followed this

Good explainer here on how free movement allowed our economy to breathe without any of the prejudice and cruelty now masquerading as an immigration policy. We threw away real control to put in place the most incoherently ruinous system imaginable. www.thelondoneconomic.com/opinion/peop...
People are just realising that we had a better grip on immigration within the EU
They gave us bar staff and builders - we gave them sunburnt pensioners and seaside property booms. It was win-win.

And, of course, the nativist ghouls this performative cruelty is designed to appease either don’t know or don’t care about facts or figures.
The costs of the UK’s Global Talent Visa looks a trifle high in comparison to competitor countries - largely through the Immigration Health Surcharge (which critics say is a form of double taxation as they contribute to the NHS through normal tax on their earnings)

Trump’s ceasefire deal is a joke.

Always was intended to look good, for a short time. Part of the 'peace agreement' was that Hamas disarm.......but no mention of Israelis who are committing genocide
We didn't vote the royals in, we can't vote them out ......... but they need to go
