Great that @zackpolanski.bsky.social is calling out Farage’s lies.
But something far more important is being meticulously installed behind the headlines.
The duopoly have colluded in carving up the UK into deregulated free zones.
Starmer is turbocharging the privatization of critical infrastructure

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

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Limited liability is one of our weird silences. It's a massive free gift society makes to plutocrats, seldom remarked upon, let alone contested.
Shareholders should have to buy limited liability, like any other insurance. The insurers would then be liable. 🧵

Teesside’s freeport, initiated in 2021 under Rishi Sunak, has cost £560 million far exceeding the standard £25 million allocation (22 times the standard £25m).
90% profits go to the private sector.
This clearly shows the UK model of State aid post-Brexit is utterly corrupt.
