This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

But Farage and Russia said it would be great for Britain. And they surely wouldn’t lie…

Are y’all sure of the math???
"By 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%"

Farage and Zia Yusuf are going to announce tomorrow that a Reform government will strip millions of EU nationals of benefits, more than double the cost of the NHS surcharge and cut foreign aid spending by more than 70%, The Times reports.

More Trumpian blood and soil nonsense.

Nigel Farage has got almost all of his tens of millions of pounds of donations from Weapons Companies, Fossil Fuel and Tobacco.

He is most corporatist of them all.

Seriously. Starmer is the most cowardly or incompetent or gullible leader the UK has ever had.

Utterly fucking myopically useless.
Starmer's climate vandalism continues.

Our planet needs action, not warm words from politicians. 🌍

Brilliant expose of flag waving racist. Nigel Farage again found to be a liar and a scoundrel.🔽
Wherever we looked for the prominent flaggers and leaders of this movement, we found people smugglers and sex doll salesmen, people with dubious criminal pasts and people willing to put in a good word for Adolf Hitler.

If Andrew doesn’t escape by horse tonight and board a boat to France, where he will attempt to raise an army against his older brother, then he is more or less admitting the accusations are all true. I’m sorry but that’s just the way it works.

This is what I keep saying but with actual data. Keir Starmer's approach of trying and failing to appeal to cruel voters at the expense of kind voters is totally wrong-headed and will cost us in every election from now until we lose the next general election. Team Starmer needs to be deposed.
