Here’s what you need to know about Starmer’s illiberal protest curbs: they would have killed the Labour party at birth | George Monbiot

Shouldn’t they be sharing a bottle of vodka and reminiscing the good times they have enjoyed with their Russian handlers?
Oh and comparing how much corrupt cash they have received.

But starmer only listens to himself and does not agree with anything anyone says

He will still be moaning about foreigners when this id card scheme kicks in.
I do hope the new Id scheme will enable HMRC to track his tax affairs easier when the Id scheme starts

Sir Jim Ratcliffe spent part of the £4bn tax bill he dodged to fund Manchester United.

That is how the UK works you pay tax, the big people don't and they get richer and richer and RICHER.

1,611 homeless Britons died last yr, including 11 children & babies under the age of one.

Contrary to Suella Braverman, homelessness isn't a lifestyle. It is a failure of society.

Yet govts cut wages/benefits, public services, local council funding; no curbs on profiteering.

How civilised are we?

'Abject failure' as UK's homeless deaths rise - including children

The government's homelessness minister, Alison McGovern MP, has described the increased number of deaths as an "abject failure that cannot be tolerated".

Reform UK, backing US farming, not British farmers.

Lee Anderson’s keen to point out salads are chlorine washed, but he’s not keen to point out that you don’t need to with chicken you can cook chicken so long as it’s reared in reasonable conditions.

But you can’t cook salad.

This gives us more ammunition to throw at his reform disciples.
It also keeps the pressure on farage to disclose his tax affairs

As far as I can tell, only the Guardian & Hope Not Hate have reported on this ⬇️.

I guess the rest of the media are waiting for Farage to release another football shirt for some more ‘fun guy’ headlines.

Oct 7 is where the israelis killed many of their own and refuse to investigate what actually happened.
They also remain silent about why the border guards and idf were all stood down.
