When are people going to realise it’s not about left v right, it’s not about white v brown, its not about liberal v conservative, it’s not about local v stranger….
It’s ALWAYS about the Top v the Bottom
Everything else is propaganda.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Imagine how Scotland could soar without the drag of Westminster and the English registered and funded political parties who focus on the UK and their London bosses, NEVER Scotland?

✅ Rail fares: frozen
✅ Peak fares: scrapped
✅ More money in your pocket
The SNP is working hard to reduce the cost of living, and this is the latest example.

Ratcliffe is where populism leads. To multimillionaires spouting ignorant racist horseshit that divides us but unites the far right in their cynical bid to exploit prejudice for power. Ratcliffe will just shrug from his tax haven home. He doesn’t care. Farage laps it up. Everyone else loses.

The thing is, you didn't have to be Nostradamus to see it. You just had to be independent of the ultra-rich. Unfortunately, the great majority of the media is in the plutocrats' pockets. So the people pointing it out are shunned. In 2009 I tried and tried to get the BBC to pick this up. But ...⛔🤐
1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.”
This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵

Brexit was “just the beginning”
The next steps were (and are) destruction of the ECHR, the EU and NATO; perhaps the UN itself is a target
Anything to destabilise because that’s how disaster capitalism works.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

Johnson culled the Tory Party of all but its grimmest dregs & now the grimmest of the grimmest dregs are defecting to Reform. It would be funny if it didn't alllow them, along with Farage, to pretend that they're not responsible for the state of the nation.

Seems that Nigel Farage's first cabinet - should the old fraud succeed - will mainly comprise failures from the Tories and UKIP. Not a cheering prospect.

Best traitors on any #thetraitors ever.
Well done to Stephen and Rachel. They truly deserved the win!
I loved that they actually stayed true to each other until the end.
I also appreciated the fact they found the gameplay difficult and weren’t “gleeful” about all the lying to their pals.
