The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

JD Vance claims Trump is deploying the National Guard because crime in Chicago and Portland has gotten "out of control."

But crime rates were already falling in both cities.

This is all a power grab — and a pretext for something much worse. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/31X8vrfgHqs

These facts should be broadcast far and wide. Why is the UK government not doing more to highlight the benefits of immigration and the lies of the racists?

He knows her name, but he’s too butt hurt to say it. It’s Maria Cordina Marchado, Donald. She worked for years for freedom and democracy in Venezuela.

Tweet from Acyn: “Trump: The person who got the Nobel prize called today and said I am excepting this in honor of you because you really deserve it... I think she might have.”
Below is a C-SPAN screenshot of Donald Trump speaking at a podium with flags behind him and several men standing nearby.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Nigel Farage should tell the people of #Caerphilly about how he wants to abolish the Senedd.

Actually, no need, we have a video of him saying it.

(Also about how Fox Hunting turns him on).

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

These national heroes have now waited more than a year for a meeting with Keir Starmer to discuss the justice & compensation Labour committed to in opposition. They are now in their eighties and are dying waiting for justice. This is no way to treat veterans Prime Minister

Previous UK traitors like Kim Philby, Guy Burgess and Anthony Blunt were notorious, and most fled to the USSR an died there. Nathan Gill should be equally infamous and despised, but the UK media has a wall of silence around him. Why?

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 3d

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

The Times says 8 Deform UK Ltd councils say they will have to raise council tax after struggling to find the huge DOGE-style cuts in public spending they promised.

Imagine what a Deform UK Ltd government will be like.

Tax and spend (it on payouts to their billionaire backers).

Why would you trust Reform when they are all just ex-Tories running away from their record of failure & who left our country in a mess.

If you’d had an ischemic stroke on Labor Day weekend, this week would be the usual timeframe for a follow-up check - 4 to 6 weeks afterwards.

Trump had his “annual medical exam” - the second this year - at Walter Reed yesterday, 6 weeks after Labour Day.

Just a coincidence, I’m sure.
